At 3-7 last year maybe it would be better if the new coach came in without any knowledge of last year's players.

This seems to be working out.

Forcing a game into a nickname = lame.
Actual miraculous finishes = naturals for nicknames.

Is UNION an acronym? What does it STAND for?

Seriously??  Did you go to Fisher with Superman57??

No, I guess my POINT was too SUBTLE for you. Not sure why UNION had to be in all CAPS.

Shoot--looks like the caps thing is contagious.

If you are looking for a silver lining in this, at least the guy who will have the ball in his hands on every snap is not one of the All-Americans.

Jeez, what a night you guys had!

Funny that people whine but can't stay away. Perhaps they just like hearing themselves complain.

First time I saw Fletcher Walters play I thought he looked way way out of place on the perimeter. But he just poured in points, couple of threes in back to back possessions, etc.

Gem Shooz is new to the board, hopefan. Just a Mac and SLIAC fan like the rest of you.

Interesting claim, considering this.

Why would you need to lie? Did I miss something?

Arseneault not playing for Grinnell - looks to be some sort of injury. 

Oh. I assumed they were planning to tie the record for fewest assists in a game.

At 3-7 last year maybe it would be better if the new coach came in without any knowledge of last year's players.

They would also get the Nurturer's Row of Hiram, Kenyon and Oberlin.

Then hopefully they'll finish the job. Sloppy work. They only did one listing on the page. There are still many other places on that same page that reference Crusaders.

Wabash's defense is more than just Pynenberg.  He lines up next to a couple of other good linebackers (Andy Deig and Matt Kraft) and behind a very good defensive line (DL Darryl Kennon is tied for 7th nationally in sacks...tied with your guy Ogrizovich actually).  If it were just Pynenberg out there running around making every play, Wabash wouldn't still be playing football this weekend.   

And I'm sure that stats compiled against Earlham, Oberlin and Denison are worth the same as those compiled against Mary Hardin Baylor, Eau Claire and St. Cloud State.

Anybody see DewCrews column yet?  I just read it.  His East Region rankings are very interesting this week.  I'm surprised Hartwick isn't in there.  Here it is:

1. Wesley
2. RPI
3. Salisbury
4. St. John Fisher
5. Alfred
6. New Jersey
7. Hobart
8. Ithaca
9. Rochester
10. Cortland State

I agree that Hartwick has an argument to be in the top 10, but who are you going to move out for them to get in. Maybe IC, who has the same record, and lost to Hartwick, but I think if they played again it would be a much different story. Rochester could be another one they trade places with, but they have been very impressive the last few weeks. I pretty much like the top 10 that DewCrew put out this week. The only change that I think I would make would be to move New Jersey ahead of AU.

New Jersey has been as impressive as anyone, and the 30-0 drubbing of #10 Cortland State was enough to move them ahead of AU who lost last week. In my mind anyway.

I hate to say it because he writes good articles in general, but I believe Dew has a little bias against Hartwick. Understandable with his Utica background. It would be hard for anyone to not be swayed by their past.
For example as good a baseball reporter as Peter Gammons his Red Sox bias does slip through sometimes. He does a very good job of trying to be fair but it's hard to hold it down.

OK maybe biased is too strong a word, but based on the UC/HC rivalry and your UC background there has to be some underlying feelings.

We can discuss this further next week. Make an appointment with my secratary on the way out.

Know to your reasons:

1. Wins against Norwich, Utica & Brockport signal a rise?

2. A 19-13 came in ankle deep mud should not carry much weight beyond you escaped. In those conditions anything can and will happen.

3. Although a win against SC (not your fathers SC) counts for something. Head-to-Head and against common opponents (SJF) should carry the most weight.

It is clearly idiotic that Hartwick is not in the top ten... Dewcrew is holding a personal vendetta vs Bosox... that or he is just not very bright
This is your (fisheralum05) reason for Ithaca to be in front of Hartwick?  now I have heard it all... i guess wins flat out just dont count anymore ...

There's no personal vendetta against you. You have to remember that poll is based on where they were the previous weeks before that. I'm sure there are some funky little idiosyncracies in all the polls, but I just call them as I see them. Hartwick has two good wins over St. John Fisher and Ithaca, but you can't play Norwich 19-13 and expect a ton of respect this week.

Shouldn't the poll be based on how good the teams are rather than how good you mistakenly thought they were last week, or the week before, or the week before?

Just a thought.
