Men it has been a while I have been really tied up. I think Plymouth is going to be making a trip to Maine next weekend and hopefully they'll take the Championship because they will have a better chance of winning in the NCAAs I think.

Here are my picks:

Maine over Fitchburg 28-24
Westfield over WSC
Curry shuts down UMD 38-14
BSC easily over Mass Maritime 35-3
MIT rolls past Endicott 32-21
CGA beats Framingham
Plymouth over Slave..(Potential to be close) 27-24
Nichols gets a win over WNEC..

Congrats to all the Seniors whose season is over this weekend I tip my hat to you fellas.

Does anyone think it is possible at all that we will get the AQ with plymouth/MaineorBSC and a pool C bid with Curry or no? What is everyone thoughts...Pat what is your take?

Cortland St still has Ithaca so one of them have to lose...WPI is out after losing this past weekend and Husson is garbage and shouldnt even be seen in the top 10 in the East personally. I think thy arein there because of playing Merrimack and AIC but they have played other  teams that half the NEFC teams could beat this year.

It looks like MEM controls their own fate and the fate of bridgewater, its going to be a real interesting weekend of games.

[footballfan81]

your absolutely right diesel wr 84. It seems that no one is really taking anyone seriously except psu. Well i think the championship should be interesting with what i predict a nice cold one in maine.

[Jonny Utah]

Remember a NO vote on Question #1 is a YES vote for d3football in Massachusetts.  Make sure you spread the last word on that one.

The NEFC will not get a pool C because there are not enough (or none I should say) quailty OOC wins this year.

Bridgewater might have had a shot if they had beaten Rowan in that first game and ended with the one loss but thats about it.

[vttanker]

My picks for the week.  Went 8-0 last week, but taking some chances this week.

Boyd:
UMD over Curry, 24-21.  Upset of the week.
MIT rolls Endicott, 42-14.
PSU over Salve, 28-17.  No upset here as PSU closes out a perfect Boyd schedule.
Nichols outlasts WNEC, 28-21.  Nichols finally wins one.

Bogan:
Westfield over Worcester, 35-21.
Coast Guard whomps Framingham, 35-14.
Bridgewater crushes Mass Maritime, 42-10.  Keeps post season hopes alive.

The game of the week.  Maine out offenses Fitchburg, 42-35.

Unless the weather becomes a factor this will be a run and gun game.  Number 2 running team in the country against the almost worst running defense in the country.  The only way Maine passes the ball in this game is a 3rd and 20.  Maine's defense is OK, but expect that they'll be chasing Fitchburg running backs and receivers all over the playing field.  Ultimately, Maine will make enough defensive stops to win in the end and take the Bogan Division title.

[vttanker]

I think only Curry will have a chance at a Pool C bid.  They will need to blow out UMD this weekend to make a statement.  Anybody else would have 2 or more losses and there will be plenty of other one loss teams out there to pick from.

That said, the ECAC playoff game could be a good one.  Last year it was Plymouth and Bridgewater.  Possible preview for this year's NEFC Championship Game though Maine has the inside track to that right now.  Anyway Curry should be the odds on favorite to be one of the teams for the ECAC game.  Opponent could be somebody outside the NEFC which would be good for the NEFC.

[MC3]

Maine runs over Fitchburg - 42-21
Worcester sneaks by Westfield - 24-21
Mass-Dartmouth out scores Curry - 49-42
Bridgewater slaps Mass - 42-14
MIT kills Endicott - 49-10
Framingham in a good one over Coast Guard - 35-31
Plymouth over Salve - 28-21
Nichols over WNEC - 21-14

[CB23]

i agree with footballfan 81. plymouth takes on each opponent seriously and continues to improve each week.

Picks for the week:

MA Maritime 7 BSC 42 (no contest)

Curry 35 UMD 21 - I can't see Curry losing another one this season and I don't think UMD is good enough to upset them.

Fitchburg 14 MME 21 - MME wins the Bogan and takes on PSU.

Worcester State 10 Westfield 35

EC 18  MIT 30 - EC ends up with its worst record since starting varsity football.

SRU 10 PSU 42 - PSU ends up undefeated in the NEFC and will win the championship and represent NEFC in NCAA

Framingham 7 CGA 21 - Neither team showed much this season.

WNEC 28 Nichols 14 - I just don't think Nichols can hang with WNEC.

  Seniors, GOOD LUCK in everything you do , football is a good life lesson in working together and being one , thanks for the ride .

I just want NEFC to get on the map again , so GO PSU !!!!!!!

                           

                            " NO LINE NO GLORY"               

Not really sure what I'm going to do  next season, I've been following the boy around for 14 seasons ,now it's coming to an end . Hopefully he gets a job somewhere and builds his own program as Coach "C" did . Until then I just might have to adopt the Brooks brothers. They have 2 more years .

                     I'll have my picks in tommorrow
