FB: Conference of New England

[SullyMustGo]

So what your saying even Sully can beat WNEC next week or am i pushing it?

[footballfan2005]

If MIT can beat them... I think Framingham has a damn good shot... I saw them play WSC this past weekend in the rain... and the rain shut their whole offense down... not to mention they are in the same situation that MIT is in... I don't think Framingham has a second team offense or defense... I know MIT doesnt... I think their best players should go both ways...

I'll go out on a limb and say
Framingham 28  WNEC 21

[SullyMustGo]

So if Sullivan blows this one do you think he should not be signed back next year/?

[footballfan2005]

Thats a whole different story... I think that he should be fired ASAP... I agree with you on this issue... If you have 3 wins in three years your doing something wrong and they should fix it...

Framingham should also build a fieldhouse next to their field... during the WSC game it was pooring rain and both teams had to stand outside at halftime... unless they wanted to walk a mile to the locker-room facilities... i don't understand... they have a great new field turf... but no facilities to make it functional... What do the players do during the week?? It looked like all their practice equip. was behind the field... do the players have to walk down everyday for practice? That might be part of the recruitment problem...

Footballfan05, in regards to the comment you made about WNEC losing to Framingham, I would be extremely suprised if Framingham comes within 14 points to WNEC. Let's not forget, WNEC gave EC a run for thier money, and they just beat the #2 team in New Engalnd. All I am saying is WNEC is alot better then thier last game. Don't get me wrong. the NEFC is not the strongest conference around but from what it looks like there is a lot of parody this year. and i smell an upset form an MIT or Salve.......

[footballfan2005]

Whatever you call it: a let down... mistakes... the fact is they lost to MIT... those kids were terrible the last time i saw them play... it was like watching a highschool team... and maybe WNEC will be pissed off and beat Framingham... but after that loss I feel that Framingham has a good shot of beating WNEC.

[SullyMustGo]

In regards to the fieldhouse at Framingham. Sullivan has actually been trying to get some kind of building there, at worst trying to put up something like EC has or had when they first built their new field. That there is the administration and the AD not pushing for one. They definitly need something down there. I was there last year for the Fram EC game and it was rediculous having halftime down there.

[SullyMustGo]

Iknowfb I agree with you, I really don't think Framingham has that great of a chance. They just don't have the depth and the coaching obviously. I'll make an early prediction.

          WNEC 27
          Framingham 14

I agree with IKnowFB, there is no way that WNEC loses to Framingham.  I don't know what happened to WNEC in the MIT game, but WNEC has a pretty good football team that has played some good games against some of the tougher teams in the NEFC.  Maybe they are just not a good team in the rain or maybe they just overlooked MIT.  Remember the bounce of the ball one way or the other can result in a poor team beating a good team.  Look at South Florida against Louisville.

[SullyMustGo]

Another thing about MIT that I've noticed over the years is that they are very poor at the begginning of each season and tend to end on a high note usually ending up with 3 or 4 wins. As seen in the past, they get better as the season goes on.

Does anyone know anything about Mass Maritime? I know they ar 0-5, losing to  MIT and Framingham, but they played Westfield and Maine Maritime Tough. Whats going on there

[SullyMustGo]

Anybody who loses to Framingham has major issues. A good HS team would beat Mass MAritime.

[SullyMustGo]

Not trying to dis on Mass maritime but I've talked to a couple Framingham players and they said MAM is horrible. Much worse than last years squad.  Although Fram players will admit they should have lost to them.

[footballfan2005]

Sully,

From what i'm hearing from you Framingham needs some serious help... although I did recognize one former north shore star... dt... Ford... if they get a few more of those transfers they might be able play w/ 50% of the league... He was at U-Mass Amherst if I recall correclty

[SullyMustGo]

Yes thats true, but they are hard to come by. He came to play football there, but it helped that his sister already was enrolled there which helps. They need some transfers that play the skilled positions. Or recruit better. Or how about they keep the players they have and hire a new coach.
