FB: Conference of New England

[lighter]

Sorry Pat, Did not catch your e-mail before my post. Thanks for explaination of the situation

since you have to serve 4 years after graduation that might get around calling it a scholarship. The other service academies do the same thing, but given the overall size of CGA (and the physical requirements of CGA cadets) maybe they choose to be in D3.  Just speculating here.

It might actually be 5 years?  And thats one of the toughest schools to get into in the country, football player or not.

for the speculation cga is "the" hardest school to get into the country but that has nothing to do with sports wise, bsc proved how much better they really were since there offense came around....overall the cga has higher academic standards which keeps them in a lower divison and i think they pride themselves on that...cuz their academics are more important then their athelics...it makes sense

I'd challenge that statement. Unless we're talking in relevancy to DIII, I would say the Naval Academy is the hardest PG.

wow, curry really got it handed to them this past weekend. it still baffles me that some of these teams think they can play springfield tough, like the endicotts, fitchburgs, currys, etc.

[d3fan06]

I have not seen it anywhere that Curry, Fitchburg and Endicott have stated the can play "tough" with Springfield.

There is no doubt that Springfield is the best team in New England this year. They can beat anyone in the area and are more than competitive out of New England as well as their conference record indicates.

I think this past season only saw Endicott and CGA play non-NEFC opponents. UMD has challeneged themselves out of conference in the past and I think Salve used to play West Conn and Springfield not so long ago.

I know this has been said over and over again, until NEFC teams get serious and ventire outside the conference to play teams from the Empire Eight, Liberty League, NJAC, etc they can continue to resign themselves to being an "also-ran" in NCAA play.

Why did the NEFC give out all conference honors to each side this year? (Bogan/Boyd)  This is just like the preseason all americans, where if you start for a team, you have a 75% chance of making it.  Way too many.....

[Pat Coleman]

Could be because the league expanded. Most conferences are around the size of one of your divisions.

Just for the record, though, WE only named 50 people to our preseason All-American team. That other group's preseason team was just a blatant attempt to get publicity.

hey d3fan06, it doesn't have to be "stated" here on the board, although a few people picked curry on here last week. all of those teams think it though, while they're on the field or while their coaches are recruiting.

[RockRB11]

I should of been more specific.  It was the Don Hansen Football Gazette that named an absurd number of preseason all americans.

No kidding they think it on the field... As a competitive player/team you go into any game in any sport with the intentions of winning.  If you dont think you can win, then you lost before you even step on the field.

One time, I played this kid in Tiger Woods on Gamecube, and I figured I was screwed.  If there were odds against me, I would have taken them.  But something happened that day.  I got a whole in 1 on the 13th, and that grew my confidence and propelled me to victory.  Therefore, if you think you will lose, sometimes, you win...

Maybe the NEFC teams should start figuring they'll lose in the playoffs, and maybe, in like 2054, they'll win one?

[The Truth 00]

yea, i think thats right on lewdogg
