FB: Conference of New England

[AZDutchman]

Is the NESCAC a better league than NEFC?
So many times this questions comes up between competitive conferences.

MIT is in the NEFC and I believe that this year (along with past years) they will be competitive inside their own conference. I don't think it's correct to say that historically they don't compete in the NEFC. Every team that steps out on the field will compete against their opponent. Will they win their conference, have %500 record or end up 1-9? I guess that's why they play the games.... To find out what the season is going to bring.

I'm looking forward to the first game. It would be great to see a W, but seeing some great competition/football is what I'm looking forward to.

M.I.T.s overall record of 68-132-1 is not theory.  The NESCAC is a self-contained league making a head to head comparison somewhat theoretical in nature.  From what I know and have witnessed, the top teams in the NEFC could compete in the NESCAC.

I understand where you're coming from. I was just trying to look at the positive aspect.
For example..68 wins. I look at that as something to build on.

One week before camp starts and I have yet to see pre season rankings.  With most of thier starters returning I can't see anyone knocking off Endicott in the Boyd.

I know.  Especially with that offensive line!

Congratulations to Salve Regina for their home victory today over the Union College Dutchmen. Salve played with heart and fought for the victory the whole way through.

Congratulations to Salve Regina.  As I just posted in the LLPP, it was one of the most exciting fourth quarters of football I've ever witnessed.  Good luck the rest of the season.  Here's a clip from our WABY radio broadcast of the Moore kick:

Congrats to Coach Chesney and Salve Regina.  He is one top notch coach.  When he was recruiting my son, I really got to like him.  Very honest and upbeat.  And even when my son chose another school, while we had 5 other coaches try to scramble to get him back, and then become very negative about his choice, Coach Chesney was the only one to call him up and wish him luck.  Hope you have a great season Salve!

interesting week one.  Is SR that strong and what of PS.  Framingham looked weaker then rated or is Endicott still at the top?
