The "scenery", both walking and stationary was much better in Newport.  Lol.

Jonny - I'd be the first one in Indianapolis attempting to assist in such a change.  I wouldn't be alone.  We're at an alarmingly low Pool C scenario if it happens, and could be down to 4 if things shake out the way I foresee by 2014/2015 if the NEFC splits.  A split would necessitate an expedited solution, in my honest opinion.

I've seen the Salve campus from the road and it looks amazing.  But I always hear about the crappy facilities.  Any plans at that school to do something about that?  Seems like they should have the money.

Maybe they could play on the front lawn at the Breakers?

I went to 2 home games last year.  The facilities are fine.  Just not on campus.  I think from looking around on the campus is there isn't any room.  Newport real estate is a little high right now to purchase any surrounding land.  And I'm pretty sure getting a building permit in the middle of Mansion Land would take an Obama level effort.....

Oh I would be on your side.  I'm just pointing out that in lacrosse, the NCAA gives out pool A bids out while top 10 ranked teams get left out.  Top 10 ranked teams do not get left out in football.

Just to give you a lowdown on what I'm talking about, in 2009, the Ithaca lacrosse team is the 3rd ranked team in the country going into the E8 playoffs agasint Nazarath.  They are 14-1 with wins over that years national champion Cortland (ranked #4 at the time), and #18 Nazareth during the regular season.  The second time around they lose to Nazereth 13-12 in OT ending their season at 14-2 and no playoffs.

Where'd you get this picture of Pep's summer home? But seriously, before Bellevue Ave. was developed, it was an old farm. Pep has an acquaintance who resides in the original farmhouse from whence the farm property was divided for construction of the mansions.

And Pep well remembers Ithaca lax getting the shaft come playoff time. IC's head lax coach married an Alfred gal.

On Saxon Warriors!

Are there any NEFC schools in or around the Boston area?

I'm trying to collect something from each DIII football program. My wife might be headed out that way next weekend, and I might have her stop and pick something up for me?

Much appreicated!!

Well, Alfred is playing a team 30 miles South of Boston this weekend, though I presume Mrs. 02 wouldn't want to travel that far.  MIT, Nichols and Tufts are all within 5 miles of Boston plus Curry and Mt. Ida are about 10 miles away.  If she really loves you, she'd be willing to hit all five!

I'm just curious, Frank (or anyone else): is there actually an indication that the NEFC is planning to split and grab two Pool A bids?

The reason that I ask is that, for all the complaining/bantering/suggesting we've done (I'm thinking of your suggestion about forcing a higher minimum threshold for an AQ bid, or forcing weaker conferences a la NEFC/ECFC to stage play-in games), the NEFC is effectively doing that in its current format.  They COULD theoretically have two Pool A spots, but at least they have the NEFC division champions play and thereby "only" take one Pool A slot.
