FB: Conference of New England

[RockRB11]

Sometime around 1997 or 1998 a few more teams entered the conference to make it a 14 team conf. with two sides, red and blue.  In 2000 the first conf. championship game was played in which they renamed the two sides Boyd and Bogan after the first two commissionoers.

way to be on top of things rockrb11... this conference if anything has to get rid of a few teams to make the leauge more competitive, if i were to add a team i would hope it would to make a swap for a team like Husson, a team trying to build a competitive NCAA worthy team, maybe swap a bottom feeder like mass martime or MIT?

but we all know that is not plausible and Husson is joining the newly NAC conference, new conference members could be added in a couple years if Maine Maritime goes to the NAC conference because it fits them better geographically,

The NAC also doesnt have an automatic bid and since our conference is so bad i wouldnt be suprised if the NEFC champ and NAC champ played each other for the automatic spot in the NCAA's, if that happen we could be in some trouble since Husson is making itself a name around the east

I'll start the picks out this week and throw a few curveballs in the mix.

EC 21  WNEC 7 - EC needs a win badly and they are playing their Homecoming game.  They are also out to revenge last year's loss.

Curry 24  PSC 14 - I have to go with Curry at home and still the undefeated Champions of the NEFC. 

MIT 14  SRU 10 - MIT won their first game of the year last week over WNEC and looks to extend that streak against a SRU team that has yet to get it together.

MME 20  Framingham 7 - MME is looking good and I am still not convienced that Framingham has turned it around this year.  Also MME is at home.

UMD 35 Nichols 21 - I go with UMD at home and a Nichols team that seems to be up and down this season.

BSC 42 Westfield St 20 - I think BSC is too strong for Westfield and BSC also wants to hang in there for a potential Bogan Division title shot. 

Fitchburg 24  MMA 7 - battle of the bottom dwellers, but I give the edge to Fitchburg.

Worcester 21 CGA 18 - This is my upset pick of the week.  Worcester St is at home, CGA is coming off an emotional last minute victory last week and I think that CGA has gotten some lucky breaks to win some close ones, their luck might be running out.  Besides I have to pick an upset at some point in the season.

NLNG, here's to starting on the next 100 pages.  Let's see if we can catch up with some of the other leagues in the number of postings.

First of all, I finally figured out that Fitchburg changed coaches, that explains the sudden drop off.  MY bad on the lack of knowledge.  Okay, off to my picks.

Western New Eng. 14   Endicott 15- a bad game of teams that should be good.     
Plymouth St. 21  Curry 28- I think this is a great game, edge to the home team     
Salve Regina 41  MIT 14- Salve seems to be on the way up     
Framingham St. 12  Maine Maritime 17- teams seem to have a tough time in Maine     
Nichols 21  Mass.-Dartmouth 31- Nichols is young and improving, but Harold runs wild     
Bridgewater St. 35   Westfield St.  14- how is the WSC coach still coaching?  THey have been bad for years.   
Mass. Maritime 35  Fitchburg St. 42- FSC gets win # 1?  Maybe...     
Coast Guard 41  Worcester St. 28- CG is on track now and contols that side.

Go gulls, good luck everyone else.

 Ok here I go .. I too will pick some upsets !!!!!!!!

  EC....24---------WNEC....21 ( Home coming )EC will find another gear and will score early and often . I like both teams but I'll give EC the edge .

PSU...31---------Curry.....28 ( my upset ) PSU has something to prove & revenge is sweet. Curry will have their hands full here . A field goal will win this battle , I truly believe Curry has had an easier schedule thus far who hasn't played a team as hungry as PSU.

SRU...37----------MIT.......24   young SRU on the move

UMD...45---------Nichols...17  can't stop the "JT" express

BSC....35---------Wesrfield St.....14  just because

FSC.....24---------MMA......21.......hhmmm

WSC....35---------CGA......31.........( 2nd UPSET)

MME......21--------Framingham....17  ( home field advantage )

Some crazy picks , but we'll see, GOOD LUCK ALL!!

                                   GO PSU !!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 Good day for football!!!!!

Where are everyones picks ?

[63Center]

Come on folks.  Last week I counted 9 people making predictions and so far this week there are only 4.  Don't worry if your picks are wrong.  It is fun and helps get into the games.

Should be several good ones on tap today.

[63Center]

Apparently Curry is trying to make a point 42-7 at the half.

[Boxer7806]

Curry is making a huge point right now ...they are embarrassing Plymouth St. this could be the first Curry team to actually make a run for a playoff win this year... they are killing everyone...

forgot to get my picks ontime but other than the curry game i dont know any other scores

UMD over Nicholls
Maine beats Framingham
Bridgewater over Westfield
Mass M over Fitch
Mit over Salve
CGA over Worcester
WNEC over EC

[Findtheball]

My hat off to Curry . That game wasn't even close . Curry came to kick some butt & show PSU that they are "KING OF THE RAFT "

I never realized how fast a couple of thier players are . The QB is definetly
one of better ones in the conference . He can run , throw , quick on his feet.

PSU was FLAT , kind of toe curling type play. Why run the ball when you're behind 35-7 , use the clock, don't abuse it.

[HailMary15]

Playing in the NAC wouldn't be any better travel wise for Maine Maritime than the NEFC except for when they played Husson.

[Findtheball]

 Alright already I can't stand that not one person has talked about this weekend . Put away the towels . Next week is a new week . Lets get some chatter going here, we'll never make 200 at this pace .

"SMILE ! it makes people wonder what your thinking about "
