CB23 · February 17, 2009, 08:27:02 PM

hey nlng!!!
good food at the banquet last sunday

i heard some rumors on some very good prospects that have committed. you got any specifics?
looke dlike we didn't lose too many seniors from last season. but, those seniors were vital to the successful season plymouth had.

speaking of seniors, i heard from clough that he was being added to the coaching staff. what will his assignment be.

CB23

p.s. my karma's keep dropping lower and lower in the negative!!! 8)

gotta love it!!! bring it on!!!

whoever it is

Yes it was very good food Sunday.
I heard of one prospect coming forward, I like to call him "THE BIG HURT", he played D1aa as a linebacker,got redshirted his Fros year, could finnish up at PSU. He was teamates with Yosh,JJ,Luke,Harry&Zack . This kid is a PLAYER, we'll see.
I heard Clough is going to be the kicking coach/lineman coach, just kidding. He'll probabaly be a running back coach cause thats his forte.
I'm going to give you some -K just so can get started in the right direction.

Peace out

NLNG and CB23

Are Mack and Demarco back , because if both are gone, or either Mack ... then your team has some big holes to fill since they were a major part of your team next year... for Plymouth to succeed next year, in my opinion they need to develop a passing game and a kicking game... The power running game will get them no where in the NCAA when you play the likes of Cortland, Union, Hobart, and Ithaca every year

Mack and DeMarco are both gone,but no worries! Yes Mack was the best back in DIII, DeMarco played very well & put #'s on the board. This team next year will be the same caliber with a different look . Don't want to give out too much info. This team will the team to beat next year as well,trust me. My boy is all done,but believe me this team is going to be fun to watch in the next several years. Coach C and his staff have done a hell of a job finding kids to play,and play different positions. Yes we do need a kicker though,hopefully one shows up at camp,we'll see.

You cannot say Mack was the best back in DIII, when there are kids like Nate Kmic of MU. Plus Deron Brown of MIT and JT Harold had better years in the NEFC than Mack. I mean an MIT kid had a better year. He played two less games and had two more TD's and over 100 yards more than Mack.

CB23 · February 25, 2009, 04:35:52 PM

hey defensiskey!!
i'm sure nlng meant one of the best rb's in dIII.
in any event, your kid did not help get mit an nefc championship!!!

Boxer7806 · March 02, 2009, 02:13:55 AM

well i hope Plymouth all the best but this is what i sense for next year for the teams.

Bogan
1.Westfield - team to beat next year, even without fielding team is stacked
2.Maine - the other top team next year, they return a heck of alot except on the Dline
3.Framingham - the sleeper next year, they return alot of kids but replacing their QB Rich will be the big question
4. Bridgewater - middle of the pack team... without burley i dont think they do much on offence... losing some key players on the o line as well and thier new qb is a runner not a passer...
5. Coast Guard - breaking in a new qb will hurt them... losing some good players on as well... could be higher on the list...
6. Fitchburg - losing most of thier offense with miller and their running back graduating and some key o linemen... defense is not good and losing some good players... could be a very long year for them
7. Worcester - huge dissapointment last year... i dont see that changing...
8. Mass - they need help everywhere...

Boyd-
1.Curry- still the top dog i think... they are replacing their qb van giesen but they return alot of kids with tons of depth...
2. Plymouth - NLNG and CB23 keep talking these guys up ... without demarco and mack though i might be putting them to high... time will tell
3. Endicott- my sleeper pick in the boyd... for some reason i like them alot... i feel like they got better as the year went on... they have a stud on D with eagen... and one in the backfield with lane... they are young and could put it together
4. Salve Regina - very similar to Framingham... use to be the laughing stocks now they are building themselves up ... took huge strides last year and i think they will get better
5. MIT- could be higher on the list... brown is coming back but his line was beastly last year and they are losing some good players their including oleniek... thier D is bad and i dont see them outscoring people as much with a weaker oline ...
6. Umass D- i feel like they will slip down this year... always seem to be competitive but with jt harold gone i feel like they will struggle... graduating some key players up front ... but they could suprise me and be better ... we will see
7. Nicholls - i think they are losing thier qb and rb morris who was most of thier team... losing some good defensive players... got worst as the year went on...
8. WNEC - they pull one win out of thier ass each year... and i think they are graduationg thier RB capitulo or something like that and had been their team since his freshmen year...

I have to ask why you are so hyped up about Westfield..... did you see something there that I might have missed last year? I think Maine will still be at the top of the heap again. The Boyd division will be the champs again this year, whole different look from PSU next year. How can you say Curry will be the team or "topdog" again when PSU handed them thier jockstrap last year. If anything PSU will be the team to beat next year, I see the writing on the wall, don't you ?

MITDT · March 04, 2009, 02:38:00 AM

MIT's O-Line should be ok. They're returning Boehm, their center, who played in only one game. The old center will probably kick out to guard, leaving one spot to be filled.

Defensively, they should be better. They lost only three guys, and they started a bunch of young guys last year. Plus, they're returning a few good defensive players who sat out last season for academic reasons.

Boxer7806 · March 05, 2009, 04:55:49 PM

NLNG - to be honest i think Maine is the better team but i love Westfield's D... i think they have the D to shut down Maine when it counts next year and i think their offence will get a little bit better even without Cohen at qb, not to mention I'm not to crazy about Maine's D who had a tendency to give up points in bunches last year... remember D wins championships and I just got a hunch they will do it next year...
Curry over Plymouth is obvious in my book... Curry went to the playoffs and beat Ithaca and Plymouth lost to Cortland in the first round... Plymouth did beat Curry but they also had Demarco and Mack...i just think those two were a huge part of plymouth's success and without them they are going to struggle... i also think Curry has more depth then Plymouth as well... dont get me wrong Plymouth will be good but i just think Curry will be better next year... then again I'm no expert

MITDT - their oline might be ok but olenieck being out is huge... he was a stud from what everyone has said... if you win linemen of the year twice your a pretty good ball player... MIT will also need all the help it can get on D becuase they gave up alot of points last year and they will need everyone to return... but it is the same story every year with MIT saying how they start young guys every year on D and the next year they will be better... the academic standards at the school hurt you guys becuase many can not handle both football and school at the same time... for those who do my hat is off to you... if MIT was on the otherside of the Division i would definately have them higher

Now you have my curiousity...... Did you watch PSU play last year or were you just following stats ? PSU did beat Curry last year, could have beat Ithaca, and should have beat Cortland. They had alot of bullets in their gun but never used them . I've followed this team for the past 4yrs, home and away, every game. I know what is there, you don't. Coach C is a very clever
man, good things are coming his way. Not to slight any team we talk about , but I see the future and it looks bright .
"just my opinion"

hey nlng!!
you are right about cortland being ripe for taking. my opinion of the game was plymouth beat themselves. piss poor kicking game and too many penalties. 2 penalties took away 2 chances of 1 and goal

MITDT · March 06, 2009, 01:17:42 AM

I wasn't disagreeing with your rankings. Losing Oleinik is big, but the line is not going to tank. Last year we had an uncharacteristically young D, even for us. They should improve.

I don't think the coursework hurts us as much as the admission process. It's just really damn hard to find football players with those kind of academics. It is especially hard in football, where you need a lot of bodies. Every school loses guys, it just hurts us more because we're already short.
