Hey NLNG!!!
do think the only way for P?lymouth playoff berth is thru Curry?
cb23

Yes , Curry is still the one that is king of the raft , until someone knocks them off . Parity is here this year though , so one can never know . Any given Saturday, throughout the league .

CB23 , do you have to work today , is that why your going to miss the  game ?

[Findtheball]

 PSU looked good again Saturday , Mack played 3 qtrs this week (227yds)
It was 30-0 when he came out along with most of the other starters .

I don't know if they're saving their passing game for Curry , they only threw 3 times yesterday . They have the receivers too .

Salve beating Nichols , is Salve real deal this year ?

I hope MIT gave Curry a game , the score didn't really indicate that , but I didn't make that game .

WNEC big game over UMass , kind of surprised there . My hats off to WNEC to not giving up . UMass is a good team .

Changing of the guard in the Bogan

CGA losing
Bridgewater winning

Boy O boy things are a little different in the NEFC this year.

We're more than half way there now .

Few thoughts from this weekend

PSU vs Curry is going to be great and i think both teams have a shot at winning a NCAA game because of the parity that is going on in the EAST as a whole

Salve is the real deal this year... minus the debacle against Bridgewater they are playing some really good ball

UMASS D losing on saturday is a joke... WNEC is way down

Fitchburg killing Coast Guard was a suprise... a good win for Fitchburg who know puts themselves back in the race for the Bogan side

Hell the whole Bogan side is out of control... Worcester beating Maine turns everything upside down... heck if Framingham didnt blow a 28-7 lead to Bridgewater, i mean i cant believe im typing that, then they would of been in first place...i think the Bogan is tottally up for grabs i might as well flip a coin every weekend to pick their games... except whoever faces Mass Martime usually wins... i still think Bridgewater will win out in the Bogan though... they showed alot to me coming back this weekend to win the game ... but anyone minus Mass. Maritime actually has a shot at the Bogan right now... absoulutely crazy... has anyone ever seen this ... thoughts?

  ok lets get it out in the open , who's your home team ? What colors are we all flying ? I'm sure by now you've figured out who I root for every week. Lets hear from others.

Hey Boxer what colors do you fly?

[Boxer7806]

Bridgewater because im from that area... but i try to be as un bias as possible to keep this site going... it would be nice to get a poster for every team ...

alright already

NLNG = PSU
Boxer = Bridgewater
ITM     =EC
Dingle=PSU
CB23  = PSU
VTtanker= MEM
MC3=   Nichols
Falcon= Fitchburg

OK who else

Fitchburg State had a huge win this week. With that offense they're in it to win any game they play. If they force a few turnovers and their defense plays a bend but don't brake defense, they will win a few more games at least. The winner of the Bogan is definitely a toss up but right now I'd say Bridgewater is the front runner. Big game between FSC and Worcester State this weekend, hoowever every game is a big game in the bogan due to the fact that anyone could win(except Mass Maritime) The boyd however looks like it's either PSU or Curry. I'd like to see PSU take it this year just to have some different colors in the championship game.

Sorry Fellas for not getting my posts in last week. Some good upsets as well as some steady performances by some teams like PSU and Curry. What is the deal with UMD? Are they that inconsistent or what?

The Bogan Division is a mess right now since noone can win more than 2 games in a row and everyone is beating up each other. I couldnt say who will be on top by the end of the year. Someone could come out on top with 2 or 3 losses in the division.

This year will be won by Boyd Division again whether it will be Curry or PSU. I think they are the only real contenders but there are some spoilers out there.

Here are my picks early this week

UMD over Salve- UMD  plays football this week against a good Salve team
PSU over Nichols- Nichols run D will have to show up to beat Mack
Curry over Endicott- This game should be a breeze
Maine over Mass Maritime- For the Cup
Framingham beats Westfield- Hopefully they dont blow another lead
Bridgewater over CGA
Worcester over Fitchburg- Fitchburg had such high hopes this year
MIT gets back in their saddle over WNEC

I'm a Maine Maritime fan, but I agree with all the posts here that the Bogan is up for grabs.  Maine stole one from Westfield two weeks ago, only to let one get away at Worcester this past week.  I said earlier that it's possible that 5-2 will win the division.  So whatever the tie-breaker formula is will be critical.  There are five teams at 2-1, but four of them go at this week.  Every week is important this year and I wouldn't try to predict the team with the best shot just yet.

Last week I was 5-3 so here goes for this week.

Maine wins the Admiral Cup literally running all over Mass Maritime, 42-20.  Mass Maritime is near the bottom of D-3 in run defense and Maine is at the top in run offense.  Only pride keeps this one from being a complete blow out.
Bridgewater beats Coast Guard, 28-21.  Coast Guard doesn't repeat this year.
Framingham edges out Westfield, 31-28 to keep their hopes of winning the division possible.  The loser of this game is done and is just a spoiler from this point on.
Worcester over Fitchburg, 35-28.  Worcester has a fairly balanced offense and good enough defense to outlast Fitchburg.

Three of these games could go any way.

Looks like Curry and Plymouth are the teams to beat in the Boyd.  I thought UMD had a chance, but with two losses they're out of it.  That said Salve needs a lot of games to go their way to win the division.  Highly unlikely, but I'm giving them the nod this week against UMD.

Curry over Endicott, 42-21.  Curry seems to be a second half team lately, but that is still good enough to beat most everybody.
Plymouth over Nichols, 30-14.  Plymouth needs to be careful not to look a week ahead.  If they do this could be the upset of the week.
Salve over UMD, 28-27.  Salve wins to keep their hopes alive for a Curry or Plymouth collapse.
MIT over WNEC, 42-35.  MIT gets back to winning against the weak WNEC defense.

[defenseiskey]

I think Salve would not only need to have PSU beat Curry but also have Curry lose again to either Nichols or UMD in the following weeks. They would also need PSU to lose a game before they meet head to head and Salve would have to win that game as well since they have lost 2 in the conference already to keep their hopes alive.

Curry Destroys Endicott: 49-7
