Good showing for the NEFC.  Three teams in the ECAC, though two are playing each other.  Not sure I understand that.  I would have thought that Maine vs Norwich would make sense for the NorthEast game and these two teams used to play each other.  Framingham vs WNEC would have been a battle of the NEFC division runner-ups and make more sense as the North Central game.  Anyway.

Maine vs WNEC should be a great game.  These teams in the last fours years played each other twice, split the two games.  But this game will have seniors on both squads and this will be the third meeting, so sort of a tie breaker.  In past years WNEC passed most of the time, but looks like they counted more on the run this year.  And we know what Maine likes to do.  My pick is Maine, but I'm biased as my son is a senior on the Maine team.

I think Framingham will give Norwich a challenge.  If Kurt Leone has a good passing game I can see a Framingham win, but he'll have to have a good game.  Norwich is going to run the ball and Framingham will have to keep that under control.  My pick is Framingham in a close one.

I would have liked to see MMA vs Norwich my self and have the two division runner ups play just as VTTANKER.

I think Framingham will do well against Norwich. Kurt Leon will play great. I'm predicting 4 td's for him alone.

WNEC has a very balanced team. They can run and pass. They have a great QB who got Offensive player of the year for the BOYD division. However, MMA did break the D3 single season rushing record! Im going to have to pick MMA again.

For the other two games i am picking Springfield hands down over mount ida. Probably wont even be close. I am pick SJF over RPI as well. Springfield and SJF are two of the top teams in the empire 8 which i would consider top 5 conference in the nation.

As a Montclair fan, we open up with Salve Regina at home. On paper their "D" appears to be good and their "O" is iffy. Any thoughts even though it is early?

Random Question from me...  Does anyone know the Endicott 2011 schedule?

[Boxer7806]

Salve has 9 out of 11 starters back on D which was the best in the NEFC last year. From the looks of it though, the two starters who graduated are Jenks and Fall who both were good ballplayers. The offense is iffy at best but it looks like they have some good size up front.

Lewdogg - i know Endicott has played RPI the last couple years, but i'm not sure if they are again this year. From the looks of their roster from last year, they should be stacked since most of the roster is coming back, and could very well beat RPI if they played.

RPI is not playing Endicott this fall.  They have Castleton State on their schedule on 9/17.

I know they are not playing RPI.  RPI has a schedule out.  I live 10 minutes from Endicott now, so I was just looking for a schedule.  I'd like to get to a few games.

I would try and check out tomorrow night's epic battle between Endicott's "Petite Giraffe" against team "Beastmode":

My son will be joining the MIT Engineers this fall. I'm looking forward to a great season with the rest of the teams and fans in this conference. I have another son playing for the Central Dutch in Iowa. I can't wait for the seasons to start! 

[fulbakdad]

My son was recruited by a couple teams here.  I will say, the Salve coach was at the top of my list in this league.  He was upbeat, positive and very believable.  I see him turning this program around.

My son is going to Salve and we felt the same about the coach.

[fulbakdad]

My son ended up going to Lake Forest College.  Another upbeat positive coach.  After he made his choice, some of the other coaches showed thier true colors.....Chesne stayed on course.  Congradulating him and wishing him good luck.  I hope he does well.
