FB: Conference of New England

[Jonny Utah]

boobyhasgameyo, wrong board first of all.. but Ill tell you anyway

the nescac wants to be like the Ivy leagues.  The ivy league traditinally does not go to the playoffs and it still has some great football in a traditional sense.

the nescac feels that football within the leagues schools is kind of an elite club and is special in that way.  It has a great tradition with the current setup, and administrators like it that way.

also, they probably dont want too much emphasis on football and competiting for a national championship...75 males on a team is basically 10% of the student body at each school, and they dont want too much emphasis on them.  Thats the way I understand it anyway

I'm gonna take a break and make my picks for the week:

Curry 27 vs. Salve 10 ...Seahawks are overmatched

WSC 35 vs. Framingham 7 ...Sorry guys but your   
          winnings for the season is done. Clock just 
          struck midnight.

ME Maritime 42 vs. BSC 46 ...This is going to be a great game between the
          possible two best teams in the conference. Gotta give BSC the edge
          though.

FSC 24 vs. EC 31  ...Endicott wins in a late 4th quarter TD.

UMD 7 vs. Nichols 6  ...Umass wins in a thriller where I'd rather watch paint dry.

Westfield 40 vs. MA Maritime 0 

WNEC 44 @MIT 7

My turn to try some picks:

BSC- 24 Maine- 14: a great game to see, but tough trip for the Mariners.

Curry 34 Salve 31:  I think Salve is a decent team, but Curry is starting to come together

Worc 55 Fram 6: Fram will lead 3 -0 and then get crushed.

UMD 21 Nic 0: How the Bison have fallen

Westfield 41 Mass 0: WSC defense bounces back.

WNEC 31 MIT 0: WNEC is decent, and MIT is not, but coach pulls the starters in the 4th

EC 34 Fitch 24: EC defense is too good for the stagnant FSC O.  EC o is wierd and might mess with the FSC d.

Game to watch, the BSC Maine game, I'll be there, maybe, if the old lady says I can go.

I realized this was the wrong post after I wrote it, but I was just rolling with it.  Thanks for the info though

the rams arn't that bad.  they have some potential fire power on offense with some skill guys.  i think they could legit win any game they're in (with the exception of fitchburg).

and i'm gonna say that i think ME Maritime is playing with a lot of confidence.  they're in the drivers seat to win that conference.  look out.

upset special, mass maritime will beat westfield.  the qb for mass will throw at least 2 deep tds and they will win, 14-7.

Pats fan, do you have any clue what you are talking about. Framingham got demolished by Bridgewater and Endicott already this season and they still have to play fitchburgh, maine, worcestor wnec and westfirld. So what are you saying about them being in everygame. They will not come within 2 touchdowns in any of those games. You must be another one of those guys that got use to and accept losing. I wanna know when a 2-7 season and "being in games" equals a good season. Ask someone from bridgwater how they would feel if they had a bad season and went 5-5, they would freak out. Framingham wins 2 games and it's like they won the championship. And you say they arn't that bad? I never knew a team that wasn't that bad that got beat 46-0 and 57-0.

[gullgrad]

Okay, STOP THE FRAMINGHAM TALK.  Seriously, this has gone on long enough.  Just talk about the entire conference and move on.  If you need to speak of Framingham then make a pick where they get crushed and explain why.  WOW, this is getting a bit redundant.

[SullyMustGo]

If I didn't talk about Framingham this board would be empty and boring. When another topic comes up I would drop it, but other people keep writing about them too, it's not just me. When someone replys I write back. More than one discussion can go on at once you know.

[DBackMc03]

If there ends a up a 3-way tie in the Bogan, say Fitch, BSC, and Worcester, how does the tie breaker work?

[DBackMc03]

I'm not saying thats going to happen, but there is a small possibility that it could, and I just want to know how a 3-way tie breaker works.

[Pat Coleman]

If I didn't talk about Framingham this board would be empty and boring.

You keep claiming that but it's just not true. There is plenty of other NEFC talk on here -- more than any previous season.

[SullyMustGo]

To answer the three way tie question. I really have no idea, but if I had to guess I would say the first option is head to head. If thats split between the three teams then it probably goes right to a coin toss.

[Pat Coleman]

I believe the NEFC uses the crossover games as a tiebreaker.

[footballfan2005]

Pat,

Please explain the crossover?
