Quote from: nescac1 on January 13, 2025, 06:09:40 AMOne guess at next year's QB picture. Definitely a lot of turnover and presumably a lot of competition at the position. Some of these, especially Tufts, Trinity and Wesleyan, are wildly speculative, so more informed folks may have better intel. * = returning starter:
Amherst - Marek Hill* (Mason Morrow also returns but Hill seems like the guy)
Bates - Seneca Moore
Colby - Miles Drake*
Bowdoin - Peter Macauley (Michael Wolfendale also in mix)
Hamilton - Luke Kurzum* (Henry Rubey also will get snaps, it seems)
Middlebury - Brian Moran*
Trinity - Jake Robbins (listed as a senior, but WVU transfer has a year of eligibility left)
Tufts - Hudson Weidman (Justin Keller also in the mix and will at least get snaps as a wildcat QB)
Wesleyan - Chase Wilson (Cooper Tyszko also in the mix)
Williams - Owen McHugh* (as discussed, Johansen, a rising soph, or a FY could also be in the mix)

Quote from: ItsATuftSituation on November 27, 2024, 02:32:07 PMJust came across the fact that Tufts HC Jay Civetti was on the most recent episode of Tufts podcast. Talked for a good while, worth the listen, mentioned playoffs and roster limits, also had a lot of great things to say about the league and its teams. Seems like a good guy, at least for me who has never met him. Here's the link if anyone wants to listen, he starts at 53 mins in.

I'd call that one a toss-up.
Not in relation to the unfortunate beatdown the Pants will incur on Saturday...hope we are wrong, but this game won't be close.
Nescacman,
I think the matchup in Brunswick seems more pressing for than Wesleyan faithful than the game in Vermont (Panthers + 110). I'm really curious to see how the Wesleyan offensive line and rushing attack adjust from last week. My film study of the Wesleyan v Colby game showed many lapses among the offensive line. From what appeared to be missed assignments, poor schemes, etc, I believe this Bowdoin front 8 will give them fits. I like Bowdoin in this one.
Maybe other board members know this, but why does it say "Junior Varsity" next to my name? I've never played a snap of JV ball in my life. I was a 4 year varsity letterman, so maybe board admin can adjust this error for me.

Middlebury (2023 Record: 8-1 NESCACMAN Predicted 2024 Record: 6-3)
Bulletin board material for Midd -- defending champs ranked 4th and behind their week 1 opponent. I'm not sure the team has lost as much talent on offense as the board seems to think, and this might be the best DL group in all of Division III. The beautiful thing is we don't need to argue because we will see on Saturday.
There are no lockdowns but an outbreak. The ruleQuote from: The Ghost of John Wesley on September 11, 2024, 12:18:10 PMQuote from: Charlie on September 11, 2024, 11:18:41 AMHas anyone also heard rumor that COVID is spreading around Colleges again. I heard the bug has Hit Amherst , Trinity & Wesleyan. Just wanted to see if anyone else has heard about this and how and if at all would affect upcoming games.
Not sure that it ever went away. It's endemic now. Do you mean that there are active outbreaks spurring lockdowns or changes in policy on those specific campuses? Folks with kids at those schools might have insight.Quote from: The Ghost of John Wesley on September 11, 2024, 12:18:10 PMQuote from: Charlie on September 11, 2024, 11:18:41 AMHas anyone also heard rumor that COVID is spreading around Colleges again.

No lockdowns or policy changes I know Wesleyan and Trinity have had a spike in cases. I guess rules to practice , games classes etc have changed just thought this was interesting news.Did not know if this was occurring at other schools
@Pat Coleman
Can we get a messaging/quoting/forum training sesh for our esteemed Mr. Charlie? That was a massacre.
Amen to that John...actually was trying to figure out how he did that. Maybe he hit the quote button one too many times?!? So good...
Quote from: NescacNewbie on August 21, 2024, 09:03:34 AMWilliams could be the sleeper this year in the top tier. Fischetti (if healthy) should be the top back in the league. They return a good defense that was banged up with injuries for most of the year. The big question will be the QB. I don't see a clear favorite there yet.
Quote from: NescacNewbie on August 19, 2024, 04:25:36 PMCongratulations and good luck to all of the Nescac Football players, coaches and support staff. They report tomorrow for another great season of football.
No matter how we feel about individual programs or coaches, I think that we can all agree that the players deserve an amazing amount of respect for playing at high level programs at academic institutions that are extremely hard to attend. Go hammer it and enjoy the journey boys!
Quote from: nescac1 on August 14, 2024, 10:06:03 PMI gotta say I don't love the odds of a QB playing his first college game against a Trinity D smelling blood keeping it close. That's a pretty tough ask even though Colby returns some solid skill guys.
