FB: Conference of New England

[RockRB11]

Ive seen Curry play over the years, and even played against them a few years back when Zammitt was there.  They've had some great teams, and this year they've been impressive too. But they will by no means get higher than an 8 seed and they will get crushed in the first round.  They and everyone else in the NEFC just cant match up to the upstate NY schools, NJ, etc... even springfield college for that matter

I don't agree with the academic standards, Curry has the weakest, but I do agree with the full time staffing.  It's dam near imposible to maintain a program with recruiting and all the other time consuming issues, with out some full time staff.  I also think that most of the NEFC schools, administrators I mean, realy don't care if they have strong programs.  Most of the schools have mediocre media guides if they have them at all.  As with Curry, and it appears Endicot, the school has to take an interest in being competetive.

It's about that time of the year.  When will Framingham win a game?  When will Sully go?  It is now well beyond laughable.

NEFC Picks for Week 9

UMD over EC - this should be a good game, but EC just doesn't seem to have the team this year that everyone expected.

CGA over MME - SGA wins again

MMA over Framingham

Curry over Nichols

WNEC over Salve - WNEC has a good defense and Salve is really down this year.

Fitchburg over Westfield - This could be a good one depending on which teams show up for both schools

PSU over MIT

BSC over Worcester State

[bignefcfan15]

Easy picks this week:
FSC over Westfield
BSC over Worcester
Mass over Framingham
Coast Guard over Maine
             &
Curry over Nichols
UMass over Endicott
WNEC over Salve
PSU over MIT

Hope the weather is good for the games and good luck to all.

Congrats to Framingham State for finally winning a game.

Curry Clinches Boyd title, CGA clinces today also... gonna play at CGA
should be interesting since both teams scrimmaged at the begining of the season.

Fun fact. Nichols had -22 yards of total offense on the day against curry's first D
Congrats to Framingham.   

Have a great weekend stay dry find higher ground....

a record of 4-41 for FSC over FIVE years sounds a heck of a lot better than 3-42...

And of the 4-wins they have had in 5-years under 'coach' sullivan, and I use that term loosely with a small 'c', THREE of the four wins are against Mass Maritime...

So under sullivan, FSC is 3-2 against Mass Maritime and 1-39 against the rest of the conference...

Holy crap...

With the big win, Sullivan will probably sign a 5-year contract extension...

Does anyone notice that NEFC can't even compete in terms of message board posts?  Other conferences have far more activity...Does anyone care about a 16-school conference to make a post or two?

[63Center]

CGA vs. Curry for NEFC should be a good game especially if CGA gets their starting QB back.  Their defense has won them the last two games as their offense as sputtered without  the starting QB.  Next week against Framingham should allow CGA to rest their starters and to try a few new things in preparation fior Curry.  In the meantime, I assume that Curry will likely need to play their starters a little longer, assuming they want to finsh up with an unblemished Boyd division record.

[DijBurg]

yeah should be a really great game... heres some numbers to chew on:  these are the amount of points cga has beaten its opponents in the nefc by - westfield, 14 (game was tied 4 minutes into the 4th quarter)  fitchburg, 1.  bridgewater, 4.  worcester, 7.  maine, 3.  the only win that shows anything is a 41-0 blowout against mass maritime who just lost to friggin framingham btw.  a wins a win and congrats to coastguard for being undefeated in the nefc, but im gonna go out on a limb and say curry has the upper hand.

[ctgridironmom]

hiistorically speaking, or currently speaking for that matter, is one of the divisions considered to be stronger than the other?

Let's go Coast Guard... CUT THAT MEAT!! CUT THAT MEAT!!!

[gullgrad]

Just a question, who is line for an ECAC bid? Bridgewater, Maine, The Gulls, UMd? Just wondering who you would think!

[gullgrad]

Okay, so my gulls are probably not in the running with a 5-4 record.   I just thought I would beat everyone to that comment.
