I think it was 1988 when Brockton was #1 in the country when they lost to Leominster (of all places) to break the streak.

Ummm I was just saying he was a good player I wasnt putting him in the hall of fame... I didnt know one player could cause this type of an up roar. Im just a fan of the league and follow its teams and stats and remember being farely taken back by his numbers. Whether they were "padded" or not is a terrible arguement to have that will never go anywhere some have their opinions on it and thats their right. Good day all.

Finally! that's whatt it takes to get people writing in here huh?

['gro]

jeez... LD and JU maybe you 2 should meet up at the boot mill diner in Lowell and discuss your man love for eastern mass HS football over a milk shake.

[lewdogg11]

It's Arthur's Paradis Diner 'Gro.  get your stuff straight.

And JU, bottom line is, Eastern MA HS football, and probably most of HS football around has really gotten watered down.  1., the fans don't care about it anymore and 2., the kids are smaller, weaker, slower, and less talented for the most part.  Friday night's people used to come out in droves to see the HS games. 

FBallGuy, this conversation had nothing to do with you.  JU and I could really care less about a linebacker for Nichols college. 

[D3 Fan]

Enough of this crap.  Anyone who reads these postings knows that gull grad only talks about how great EC is and how they get robbed out of victories, post season invites, and lack of recognition for the EC program.  It seems that In The Mix has decided to join the fight as well.

B. Meuse is a very good lb for a team that is struggling.  Any coach would want him to be part of their defense.

When the NEFC wins a game in the NCAA's players will start getting more recognition.  I'm quite sure that there have been some pre season all Americans from the NEFC there just aren't any chosen this year.  No big deal.  There are some very good players in the NEFC but if you can't name any gull grad then you really don't follow the league and you're just a homer for EC.

EC has done well by playing great defense with very little offense.  I'm sure they'll be tough this year and maybe it is their year.  We shall see...  Don't count out Curry or UMD never mind trying to get through BSC, FSC, Westfield and WSC.  Plymouth will be better and Carven is back at Nichols.  It won't be easy on either side to get to the Championship game.

[FBALLguy]

Interesting that Carvens back didnt know that. That makes them a threat again Id say. But I must agree that the boyd will go through Curry, UMD and Endicott it will be interesting to see if salve, MIT, and WNEC continue to improve along with a healthy Nichols team and the addition of plymouth should make for a very competitive division. Also like to say that I agree with you D3fan that the NEFC gets hurt by its lack of playoff competitiveness so sometimes players who are very good get left behind in the process. Not saying its incorrect to do that, its actually very correct, at the same time it makes it fun for the players involved and gives them a challenge and something to work towards. Not exactly gorundbreaking stuff I know its stuff thats been beaten to death on this board but its quite true the NEFC will be considered an unworthy conference until they beat some one of significance. Look forward to hearing more from you guys throughout the season Im sure we'll have plenty to talk about.

[d3fan06]

easy, easy, easy

everyone so testy about things and the season is still weeks away.

i think we can all agree that there are going to be "homers" out there that consistently "ring the bell" of their chosen team (gullgrad). there is nothing wrong with that - you see it on every board here.

meuse is a good player, who while he may have been given a tackle or two (or three) by the stat guy makes ALOT of plays for the Bison defense. i agree that coaches across the league would rather play with him than against him.

and while endicott's defense does a great job to say they have little offense is misleading - they were ranked in the top 20 in the country in rushing - that helps control the clock and keep the opposing offense on the sideline thereby helping the defense. just because a team does not put up 50 pts a game or throw it 50 times a game does not mean they have "little" offense.

just my 2 cents...

I agree.  I think the old system had its benefits.  While I like the playoff system, I liked the old days when some committee said basically.  "Hey Walpole, your playing Brockton in the d1 Superbowl in Foxboro.  I dont care if Brockton has 6,000 students and Walpole has 700.  Those are the best teams, you guys are playing in the d1 championship game."

[InTheMix]

I'm not jumping on any teams wagon or anything like that and I agree that some players in the NEFC are close to All-American caliber. Maybe one year in the near future we will see one.

I have never said anything about EC getting robbed of victories. A win or a loss is exactly that, it doesn't matter how it happens.

I think Curry might struggle a bit this year.  I have heard that a lot of guys are looking to transfer, but then again, that could open up spots for other unknowns to shine. UMD has a quick defense and could also be tough.  Endicott graduated guys that had been in certain spots for 4 years and could be hard to replace, but if there's anything we've learned in their short time it's not to count them out.

I'm not sure if MIT graduated their QB from last year but he was a great player and had terrific vision.  If he is still around and they get more numbers for players they could be a suprise.

[tdpass]

Dang, it's as if salve doesn't even exist.  New head coach, only 6 seniors graduated, and possibly a whole new offense/defence.  Yet, salve never has any supporters anywhere.  But I guess 3 two win seasons in a row will do that to you. 

[InTheMix]

I was just thinking that...seems no one supports salve.  There were a few games where they were a TD or two away from pulling out a big win.  Experience will help with that.  I heard that they only practice a couple days a week...I don't want to spread rumors, just something I heard

[lewdogg11]

They only lost by a touchdown or 2?  Damn, they were almost undefeated!  Need more 'defence'.  And Cow bell.

FYI...I know people hold those signs with a 'D' and a 'Fence', but it's actually spelled defense.  That's ridiculas.

[gullgrad]

I am enjoying the posting, this is fun to get into.  In the boyd, I would have to agree with FBALL Guy as the side will have to go through Curry first.  UMD, and my Gulls are in the mix too.  And you know what, WNEC is up and coming.  Who would care to guess about PSU.  Will they make any noise?

The other side, Bogan, seems to be Bridgewaters to loose.  I do like Coast Guard though, seeing how they will "dropping" to the NEFC, the level might help them alot.  I think Fitchburg has had its time.  I think they loose that MLB and the QB.  Thats hard to overcome.  I did however like the way Mass Maritime is moving.  Just some thoughts from a EC fan trying to be a little unbias.
