Wow ,there is no action here!!!!

  Little disappointed in the activity here at CCC.. I know there are some insiders out there.

Gonna be a long tough year for UNE. There some are some bright spots and the effort is always there .
The new stadium and fan support is awesome. Once they get a few games and used to the speed i imagine the wins
will not be far behind. The school is really supportive and so is the community which is half the battle.
On a personal note the wins/losses are secondary to watching your kid play college football..

If there are any great videos out there on D-3 football that anyone can think of,
it's always great seeing other teams ,stadiums and traditions.

Lumbercat,

Went to UNE. It was a tough decision being from Seattle,but the coaches answered every question
with straight forward answers..I don't believe any school has everything,but it was the best for him.
I would feel comfortable recommending it to anyone.
Best of luck to you and your son.

Hi All,

I am new to this blog and have read it with great interest.  My son will play for the Ephs in the fall.   I saw the recent news that Maud Mandel will be the new President of Williams.  I think/hope that she will not hold back Ephs football.  My greatest concern is that she is coming from Brown, the perennial cellar dweller in the Ivy.  Brown's facilities were so bad(among other factors), that my son decided not consider it in the football recruiting process.  The above said, she got her Master's and PhD at Michigan, so I have to think she understands at least something about how successful football creates community(and loyal, financially-supportive alumni).

Another word on Bowdoin recruiting, which was a hot topic in this forum a couple of months ago.  I strongly encouraged my son to consider Bowdoin(a great school)  and he was in communication with a recruiter there, but my take is that Bowdoin just did not recruit hard enough.  My son's grades were very good and his board scores were above the average of all of the NESCACs so I do not think academics had anything to do with it.  I think he would have committed to Williams anyway, but Bowdoin never really pushed it, so we did not visit the campus.

My son had almost the same experience with Bowdoin!!
