Congrats to PSU Seniors on a good season and Best of luck to Curry this week. I think after looking at the stats from the Ithaca/Curry game and Cortland/PSU game this will be a very good matchup. Both teams have a good run stopping D, (cortland seems have a better run D) but their Secondary can be suspect which Curry and that Van Degesin kid can show. This should be a close game and possibly  Curry could bring in another road victory to the NEFC.

Any weigh ins? Pat what is your take?

wow the board is dead... for the sake of arguing i believe Curry is going to put up a great game against Cortland... from the sounds of the last game Curry shot themselves in the foot countless times ... they failed to score inside Ithaca's red zone 3 times, they had numerous mistakes on special teams setting up Ithaca scores, they even had Crucial penalties at the worst times to bail out Ithaca. Put all of this together and you usually lose by 30 to a team like Ithaca, but some how Curry pulled it off

We all know Cortland can stop the run... that is their bread and butter and Plymouth was the best possible matchup for them... with that Plymouth still gave them a good game, if they played anyone else then MUC or Cortland i think the scores of the game would of favored Plymouth or been very close

Curry' s strength is passing the ball... Cortland's weakness from thier posters is the Pass D... with this said this should be a very close game... Curry's D has also been very stout for most of the year and they played well against Ithaca... if the D can give the same type of performace i think their could be a upset in the making, i truly believe that... If they penetrate the vulnerable secondary of Cortland enough they even be able to get some big runs mixed in and control the ball as well...

Prediction
Curry 28
Cortland 19

the winner will play MUC... so I'm also thinking for Curry's health that if they lose it might not be so bad in the end

Based on what I have read here, the Curry-Cortland game should be a good close game.  Cortland appears to be a running team and although Curry has a good defense, they lost to PSU who was also a good running team. However, Curry is a passing team and that appears to be Cortland's weak spot on D so overall it looks like it could be anyone's game.

Curry 21
Cortland 20

Good luck to Curry.

Hope all had a nice Thanksgiving, now back to some football talk.

I went to the PSU, Cortland game. I really believe PSU could beat Cortland, but they didn't!
After seeing both teams play this year (Curry & Cortland ) I think I'd lean towards Curry.... not just because they're from NEFC, but they are the better team. I believe Curry can stop the run, not taking anything away from Cortlands run game . The running back is quick and hits the holes hard, Currys D will stop that .
Curry has a passing game with a agile QB, Cortlands DBs and safety could be in for a long day. Watch out for cheap shots from the right tackle  he was handing them out  all day after the whistle. He's a big kid for sure, but kinda reminded me of the Michelin Man. (just my opinion )

Good luck to all Seniors, this could be your last game, play the whistle!

My pick
Cortland 32
Curry College 36

My pick

Interesting as always noline. I give Curry a ton of credit for their W last week at Ithaca, not many teams have been able to do that in the NCAA's. I find your pick to be interesting. You really believe Curry is a better team than Cortland? Here is where I disagree. I know Curry beat Ithaca and Ithaca beat Cortland and that comparing teams W's vs L's is not always very telling BUT I just don't see Curry winning this week. Here is why, in my mind I can never see Ithaca or Cortland losing to Mt.Ida and the fact that Plymouth lost to Mt. Ida and that the same Plymouth team beat Curry I just don't see Curry bringing enough game to win at Cortland in the playoffs. What I do know though is that as a result of last weeks great effort by Curry that I believe they can win this game and that they are a very good team, just not good enough to win this game. We shall see. I wish both teams a ton of luck and they both should feel very proud of what they have accomplished this season. Also dude be careful about calling out individual players like that. "Cheap shots can be interpreted differently" I don't think it is right to call him "the Michelin Man." Keep that stuff to yourself.

Sorry that you disagree, but I call em as I see them !
Sure Mt Ida won that game, they didn't beat us we beat ourselves, 6 turnovers.

Curry 56
Cortland 19

I get a kick out of you, your league isn't any better off than ours. Hopefully we schedule one of your teams next year, hopefully Cortland at home. We'll sho ya how to tip cows anyday you want to travel to "cow hampshire"

Good luck to Curry.

Cortland appears to be a running team?  Curry QB   passing yds...2464.  Cortland QB passing yds.....2496.  If Curry hopes to have any chance, they will have to have done a better job with their homework than you.  

Red Dragons 45, Curry 28

And for NLNG:  Curry 56, Cortland 19;  That is a lot of disrespect.  Your a$$ must still be sore for that butt kicken you got.  News Flash....you're not that good.  If your prediction for Curry is as accurate for how you think of Plymouth,  we should be pretty good shape today.

The LL would welcome this tool. This is what I love, the NEFC is getting some credit and rightfully so. I have been one of those who have been giving it. Yet here comes "nuff said" making outrageous claims that take away any validity he begins to have. 56-19 is hilarious and really makes it clear that your knowledge of football is equivalent to horse****. I would be to differ here cornhole I think the LL even on a down year like 08 is still stronger than the NEFC top to bottom. Yet we all have our opinions and you have a right to have yours, even when it is based on ****. Hope you had a nice thanksgiving
