To Curry - congrats on a great season. 
Perhaps we will be mixing it up again in seasons to come.

I second that statement: Great season Curry!  Keep your heads up, you won 12 games and that is an accomplishment in itself!

I know Curry has a bunch of full time coaches.  How many other NEFC teams pay good salaries for a few coaches?

I believe that Curry only has one full-time coach and he is not the head coach and he has other duties at the college.  They have never really had a full-time coach as even Steve Nelson was also the Athletic Director.

No I know for a fact they have more than one full-time coach.

I overheard some discussion earlier that Curry College made virtually no provisions for the football team in terms of Thanksgiving celebration and for overnight stays tonight on campus (players were not allowed to stay in their dorm rooms upon their return tonight).  Can I get some confirmation regarding this, either through PM or on here?  I'd rather fact-check here than run my mouth about an unverified statement.

Got some news of interest to NEFC fans on the Muhlenberg/Wesley broadcast -- though I'm sure you were listening to the other game -- Rowan and Bridgewater State are playing next year.

Frank, Your tidbit on the Curry Thanksgiving sounds very NEFC ish....
Take a look at the NEFC fields... at two of them the players only choice for a bathroom after the pregame warm up is a port o potty or the woods.  I mean I literally witnessed college football players doing #1 in the WOODS 5 minutes before kickoff.
It is in the details and I am sure that as this was Curry's first voyage into Thanksgiving football they now understand better the details.

Good luck Bridgewater in 2008 v Rowan, take em down.

I wouldnt doubt it.  Im sure most players had thanksgiving dinner with their families and players that lived far away (not many of them) stayed with another player.

i think Bridgewater playing Rowan will be good for the conference and for Bridgewater...next year Bridgewater will have a very solid team coming back with numerous starters on both sides of the ball... this will only help the team

congrats to Curry on a good year... i think if they played any other team then MUC or SJF they had a good shot at winning...maybe Ithaca as well who has been on a roll going into the playoffs...

least we got one this year... hopefully we will approve next year and make more strides in competing with the E8

When do the All-Americans come out. Is it late December or Early January? I am anxious to see who from the NEFC is going to make it as well as what team they are on.

I am curious how the NEFC stacks up against some of the more elite conferences in D3 in regadrs to facilities, coaching staffs, and budgets.  I agree the NEFC facilities are not that great as far as locker rooms and bathrooms go for the players and has been mentioned many times on this site only a few of the NEFC schools have fulltime coaches.  Also as has been mentioned in the past, a lot of the NEFC schools (state schools) can't afford to travel any distance for games.  So if this describes the situation in the NEFC, what is it like in the other conferences?  Do they have restrooms/locker rooms near the field for the players?  Do they have fulltime coaching staffs?  Do they has training facilities for the players?  What kind of budgets do these schools have?

Obviously, if they are better in these catagories than the NEFC schools, how can one expect to compete?

Congrats to Curry for a great season and putting one in the "W" column for the NEFC.

We announce them at the Stagg Bowl.
