FB: Conference of New England

[63Center]

I want to echo Union 89.  Congrats to Curry.  For years the NEFC was the laughing stock and now that Curry has finally broken the NEFC into the winning column, all of the comments seem to point at a weak opponent as the reason.  Maybe all of the years that the other conferences were winning it was becasue they were playing the NEFC.  Let's encourage Curry not belittle then due to who they beat, after all Hartwick was the E8 Conference Champ regardless of how they did it.

They were the E8 co-champs, they just received the auto bid....Many would argue Curry will be facing the true E8 champions this weekend.  Best of luck.

very true... Curry's offense is built around thier off. line...they are big up front but SJF has the size easily to match up with them... they run a 2 rb rotation with both guys gettin a good amount of carries...they can air it out with van giesen who has 2 wr's who were all leauge types...the def. for Curry is good...they have a very good dline led by Pinto and two good sized d ends that match up well with sjf te's and tackles... i think the game will be closer then many will expect... i dont think we will have a blowout on our hands... Curry crushed Hartwick they did exactly what IC or SJF would of done to them if they played again last week... i think Curry is a bit better then you guys want to give them credit for in the E8

 63 & Boxer I could'nt agree more , well said

[Boxer7806]

can we get some talk up on this page... Curry has a chance to re write some history here... a win against SJF would do nothing but boost our conference throught the roof..hell just a could game against them will give our conference a lot more respect...

any predictions on what the score willl be this weekend

These teame are very even if you look at them. I think people overlooked Curry this year because of their conference. They ovbiously showed that they are a great team and can score quickly and on any side of the ball. SJF is a great team as well and they have some very good guys. I believe that if Curry shows up to play they have a chance. Congrats to Curry and the NEFC

 the best part of this Curry team is most of us in NEFC have seen Curry play . We all know what they are capable of . These other posters in here are trying to find out whom they are . I really think they have what it takes to continue on this tear . going into other furums and reading their posts , they were saying Curry were going to get their clocks cleaned. they were a little surprised at the outcome weren't they .

Keep going Curry an make us proud , Good luck this coming game.

That strikes me as true. If they don't show up to play, Fisher can just run it down the field unmolested for 60 strait minutes. Not to mention there will be no ofensive players to try and scor after kickofs. I defanitely agree that it would be good of Curry showed up to teh game on Saterday.

 Max , have you seen Curry play this year ? should they have beat Wick like they did or was it a fluke?

[boobyhasgameyo]

It was no fluke, Hartwick was terrible on the road all year long and Curry is a solid team.  The final score is what happens when a bad road team faces a good team.  I am excited to see Curry play this weekend, I know nothing about them other than the fact they have ran through their conference each of the last few years.  I don't even know what color their jersey's are.  I'm glad you guys finally got your first playoff win, I'm just sad it came against the E8.  Hopefully Fisher can show you what our conference is really about this weekend    What are we up against this weekend? Type of offense they run? Can they adapt on the fly (if their primary offensive style just isn't working)  and seriously what do their jersey's look like?

booby,

Not sure which is home and which is away but here you go for some uniform shots

The Sherlock Holmes detective in me tells me that the All purples may be home since the picture has them celebrating and holding up 5 fingers and two weeks ago they won their 5th straight NEFC title at home.

the right hand side of that page also has a link where you can download a 36 page media guide for more info.  Such as curry as a college has students from 40 different states and 32 countries. who knew?

Home photos in our photo galleries -- check the front page. We shot 10 games this weekend.

booby - Curry has a very balance offense who have been able to run the ball and throw the ball basically at will all year... against CGA they stuck with their running game to grind out the clock... but in other games the passing game has been very effective as well... my guess is Curry's running backs wont be able to aver the 6.7 yards a carry they have all year but they have been able to throw the ball as well when needed... but thier offense has not been shut down all year so we dont know whether they can adapt on the fly but if Fisher shuts down the running game they will be able to trhow the ball b/c they have 2 all league players at WR who are good and a o line with good size that has been able to protect their qb van giesen all year

[boobyhasgameyo]

Thanks for the info Boxer, it will be interesting to see how your WR's matchup against our all american DB Stepnick and all league Miranto.  The more you describe the team the more it seems like it will be an evenly matched game and thats good, cant wait until Saturday.  Will any of you be making the trip to Rochester?

Good luck to Curry! Congrats on the solid win over Hartwick on Saturday. I did doubt Curry as a result of their conference and lack of out of conference games played. I feel they have earned some respect from this weekend and now must step up to a real test in SJF. I will be rooting against them but there is no question that if they win they will have earned everyones respect in the east, including mine.
Great Job Curry!
