FB: Conference of New England

I'd go out on a limb and say that this easily makes Assumption a candidate for the D2 National Championship.

Or at the very worst, when they win their first two or three games this year, no matter who they are against, we can start yelling that they should be nationally ranked.

Why wait? I'm calling it now. Automatic playoff bid.

Taste it.

Phone it in.

[Pat Coleman]

I think we're already getting tweets about it demanding they be nationally ranked.

Pep presumes that everyone here is assuming that a coach of Chesney's caliber, with the added use of some D2 scholarships, can make an immediate impact....a pretty solid Assumption, IMHO.

On Saxon Warriors!

That's funny, when I was reading this I had a question.  If NESCAC switched over from D3 to D2, they could keep the same status (be listed in the Division, just don't play anyobody else in it)and just give out  scholorships above board.  My question is, how many of you would vote for Trinity or Amherst in that top 25 too?

uhhhhhhh.....what?

uhhhhhhh.....what?

This should clear it up:

Hey, I'll tell you what, you can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there...but wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?  No...what I mean is, you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's ass...no, wait...it's got to be your bull.

Rev,

I follow the USCGA.  Two of the coaches are Ithaca gads and friends of mine (head coach and DC).

I've just recently started following the Coast Guard football program, as I started a new job at the Academy last week. Brutal loss for the Bears to open the '13 season. Looks like they're going to have some growing pains at QB and offensive line. Looking forward to catching my first game at what has to be one of, if not the most, picturesque settings for a college football game in all of New England.

Also of note, the CGA will be honoring the '63 team which was coached by Otto Graham, had an undefeated regular season and appeared in the Tangerine Bowl. There will no doubt be plenty of pomp and circumstance complete with throwback uniforms for the Coasties.

I'll check out the website for pix of the throwback uniforms.
I was bummed that CGA lost to St Lawrence.

Week 2 Picks

WNEC 42
Westfield 14

West Conn 28
Nichols 24

Anna Maria 17
Maine Maritime 28

Salve 24
Montclair 27

MIT 31
Becker 24

Endicott 55
Castleton 10

Fitchburg 24
Curry 34

Coast Guard 31
Merchant Marine 35

Can Salve go down to Jersey and upset a NJAC School? Can Nicholls match their win total over last three years with win over West Conn? How will Endicott, Maine and MIT do against the bottom (Castleton lost best players) of the ECFC? Can Coast Guard and Fitchburg regroup after tough losses?

[ECoastFootball]

Don't disagree with too many of these. Few slight disagreements:

- I do not think the West Conn-Nichols game will be close.
- Anna Maria may beat Maine Maritime, it's a true tossup. May not have been any type of upset last year. Maine has been BAD for a few years now. Don't know much about the AMCat O with out Conception though.
- I think Salve will beat Montclair, and I don't think it will be an upset. They beat them last year, and the game was not as close on the scoreboard as it was on the field.
