FB: Conference of New England

[Pat Coleman]

I for one don't care about travel time or first round matchups but how are teams from TX in the east bracket? The result would be worse but I could understand if they were matched up with mount union in the first round since they are somewhere close to the east region

1. They're not.

2. It's not "the East bracket."

I know they aren't playing MHB but I was asking about the possibility more than anything because that was the rumor the past couple days. After looking back at your predictions I can see that it wasn't labeled "East." I'm not really sure why I got it in my head that it was regionalized.

Who cares who is playing where.  At the end of the day the team has no control over that.  All a team can do is take what is given to them and get ready to go smash heads.  I agree with some of the comments before.  If I were still in college playing, I would have loved to hop on a plane and travel somewhere to play.  As for the NEFC champion, realistically Maine is 1 and done.  If I were them I would just be happy that I'm there, go out give it my best, and have fun.  Enjoy the fact that you're there, not b*tch about it.  Not that any Maine players are on here saying that, just hypothetically.

I don't think it's in RPI's interest to add more NEFC games. 

RPI should be trying to have Ms Jackson make it rain on Carnegie Mellon (engineering complement) to pry them off Hobart's schedule.  A nice midlevel game against a solid program and excellent academic institution. 

Gro would like to see a new rivalry replace the coast guard game, CMU or MIT would be the best choices. MIT doesn't help the OOC but it would be an interesting rivalry (Ms Jackson went to MIT, current MIT coach came from RPI, angry nerds need football too, etc.)

Re: Endicott. At one time they were an "up and coming" team along with Curry, it's too bad they haven't had much success it would help RPI's scheduling woes.

ECAC matchups....the old Plymouth State/Springfield rivalry revisited....how many passes could their be in this game?  10 total?

Good luck to Maine Maritime, too bad you couldn't have someone go up to Castine in November.

It will be a while before any NEFC team hosts an NCAA game. With the completion of Maritime's new stadium it would have been a good year to host a post season game. It's too bad it was the Boyd's year to host the conference championship.

Did Curry put in for an ECAC game?

Curry wasn't eligible for an ECAC game.  Check out page 202 for the explanation.

Curry hosted in Hartwick in 2007 and won...

Curry should have hosted RPI in the playoffs in 2003 but their stadium didn't meet NCAA standards.

Alright I was dead wrong on that one. What are these NCAA requirements for stadiums? Is there a link to the full list somewhere on this site?

I am not sure.  Too much stuff to read through to find it.

I believe it has to do with seating capacity.

Here is the link to the Preliminary rounds hosting manual.
