FB: Conference of New England

[Gr8Day2BaBear]

Except for one little probably is that it is impossible for two teams in the same division to meet in the conference championship.  So I think it will be Curry and BSC.

Also I don't know about Bridgewater having a down year after rushing the ball for 470 yards on 69 carries...with their starting running back out in the third quarter mind you.  Who needs to pass when the same play works 69 times in a game.

The thing I'm wondering about it is CGA because MMA played keep away most of the game from what i read so that makes you wonder about CGA's rush defense.  Anyone see the game???

On to Endicott who has had at least 3 losses in every season the played, I'll give credit where credit is due because of their scheduling but they were never this great team that people are making them out to be, they had a couple good years is how i look at it.

Now on to Fitchburg...they had two good years when they had one of the nastiest defenses in the conference.  Problem was unless they were playing Framingham they didn't have the offense to match.  Now they have a swiss cheese defense and high power passing attack, but you can't win if you can't stop anyone.

 not to sound like a pesimist( check sp )
has Curry played a team yet with a winning record yet ....just my opinion

[Boxer7806]

Curry has not but at the same time there is alot more parity in this leauge...i truly believe any team can beat ne one on any given day... but plymouth st and curry are the two best teams in the leauge...i think BSC will win the bogan because Coast Guard seems alot weaker even though they have alot of thier offense returning

[Findtheball]

Bogan
Fitchburg State
Bridgewater St.
Worcester St
Westfield
Framingham St
MA Maritime
ME Maritime

Boyd
Curry
Endicott
UMD
Nichols
WNEC
Salve Regina
MIT

Have to put Curry #1 because of what they have done the last few years and they should still be the strongest team in the Boyd.

looking back over these posts from 2005 things really haven't changed much . where do you slot CGA & PSU .  Things don't change , they just look different

[Boxer7806]

things have changed greatly, fitchburg is prolly the worst team in the bogan division right now... and coast guard is prolly top dog on the bogan side...also westfied is at the bottom of the pack in the bogan... the only difference in the boyd is plymouth state at the top of the division more so than endicott who i think is one of the weaker teams in the boyd this year

[Gr8Day2BaBear]

I wouldn't say Coast Guard is exactly the top dog.  I mean seriously they barely beat Bridgewater 21-17 the first time last year and got beat 34-17 in the ECAC game. 

Bridgewater also returned 16 starters only 4 of which are seniors and they had one early season stumble.  Is that not allowed by a young team???

On that note I think the game to see again this year in the Bogan has to be be BSC vs. CGA, and I'll definitely be there for it.

In the Boyd the game to see as of now is Curry vs. PSU.  Word to the wise though don't sleep on an angry Endicott who have shown the ability to score points and Curry better beware J.T. Harold and the Umass rushing attack the final week of the season as Plymouth already found out.

 There !!!!!!!!!! controversy I love it !!

[Boxer7806]

after thinking about it i have to agree and end the controversy, i believe BSC is the top dog and not Coast Guard, it seems to me Coast Guard's play has taken a step down this year and minus that horrific loss to Salve, BSC seems to be getting better each week... good test for Framingham this week lets see if they can stay with a quality football team like BSC...they should of won last week against Worcester who made a valiant comeback be nice to see if Framingham could sneak up on another opponnet who has embarrassed them in the past

   63 & Boxer can't wait ...one more day...Friday picks ... no pressure !
   Both went 6 for 8 last week..yee haa

[63Center]

OK, just because nolinenoglory asked for the picks, I am giving my picks a day early this week:

BSC 24 Framingham 18 - I give the edge to BSC as home team.

Curry 48 MIT 0 - No contest

UMD 28 WNEC 14 - I thought WNEC would be better this year, but they have not shown me anything yet, plus it is at UMD.  This should be a good game though.

Worcester St. 21 MME 10 - I just think Worsester is the better team

Westfield 24 MMA 14 - This could be closer, but I still go with Westfield

Nichols 30 SRU 10 - Nichols is looking good right now and they are at home

PSU 21 EC 10 - EC is struggling this year.  The game is at PSU and PSU is playing some great FB right now. 

OK, there you have it.  Let's see if I can improve on the 75% from last week.

[Boxer7806]

This is for you Nolineglory

BSC 38 Framingham 21 - two very young teams... BSC has the edge in talent

Curry 35 MIT 14 - MIT will keep it close for a little bit...nothing has gone there way this year

WNEC 31 UMD 27 -  both teams defense ranks at the bottom of the NEFC... WNEC holds JT just enough and thier passing attack prevails in a shootout

Worcester 24 MME 20 - it will be a close game but after the scare against Framingham last week Worcester wins this game... Worcester played awesome against the run last week too

Nichols 28 - SRU 6 - Nicholls is the sleeper of the entire conference, but yet to play thier meat of the schedule

PSU - 35 EC 10 - Plymouth St will grind it out on the ground and continue to run up and down the field on opponnets

Its going to come down to teh WNEC UMD game to see who has the better picks this week

[Boxer7806]
