Agree that Bergen Catholic plays some of the best high school football in the country. Watch highlights of Boel, who looked like he could move pretty well.  Noticed the trajectory on his passes was a straight line and low, but he got the job done. Anyone with that high school pedigree should produce in NESCAC.

We think most people rather enjoy our "schtick"...

I'm more than ok with some good natured ribbing and can give as good as I get. My point is that you pretend to come off as a neutral voice on the league but your overt bias for Wesleyan is undeniable. Why not just drop the charade, Dave? Perhaps we can discuss on Saturday? I'll be on campus for another event but will swing by the game and keep an eye out for you and your cigar in the end zone at Andrus.

Speaking of schticks .... isn't it time to bring back the GIF of the kid picking up the dead ball and running it back for a touchdown? 

It's always available upon request and/or every year for Trinity-Amherst week. On a somewhat related note, a few friends sent me this clip over the weekend of a similar play from the Memphis-Mississippi State game. Play to the whistle, kids.

As a senior at Bergen Catholic in 2019 in 9 games Boel ran the ball 36 times for 63 yard. 1.8 yds per carry with a long run of 7 yards.

So not a running quarterback.

Pretty sure he had at least one 20+ yard run (maybe called back due to penalty) and he had 3 or 4 running TDs...we think the running yardage/ypc were brought down a bit due to the fact that he was the primary passing QB for BC and obviously, any sacks go against his rushing totals...let's face it, he was playing against many D1 commits at BC so if he can run a little there, he can run more in the NESCAC which is good football, but relatively speaking, not at the same level as BC (we are NOT saying BC could beat a NESCAC team...well maybe they could beat the Polars or Conts ha-ha)...we're just saying the level of competition is higher on a comparable basis...interesting discussion....

Boel can sling it for sure.  It may be that they think Stalcup running the RPO gives them more ways to stay in the game while Boel gets time to learn the system... not having a real 2020 season (and not even getting reps against 1st team D in practice until now) probably hurts a new QB more than any other position.

I tend to enjoy unintentional irony.

Stalcup wasn't horrible against Hamilton and made some accurate completions including an absolute bullet for a touchdown, only to be called back for holding. Missing were sustained drives and the ability to make the big play.

[WLCALUM83]

And the Lord Mammoths roster is posted!!! 

Hopefully, those still curious were sitting down at that particular moment--(ba da bing!!)

[amh63]

Yes!....Amherst's roster is out....with some info "holes".  After several tries, I counted 22 FYs'...including one from the NJ prep school that was touted so high.  My last count effort shows a roster of 88-89??  Amherst has a coach count of 8 presently.  Yes the previous noted coach that went to Middlebury was in the Middlebury team/coaches pic but not listed with the other coaches...last time I looked.  Maybe my phone calls to the AD, the ID dept., etc. helped

With all due respect, one needs to factor in the level of competition that Stalcup went against last Saturday...interesting how we watched him as well and had a completely different assessment; that's the beauty of football we suppose...in any event, after this Saturday's tilt against Hartford State, we think you'll know a bit more about young Griff and the Polars...

As we have said many, many times before, we represent a consortium of NESCAC alums, parents, former coaches that have allegiances to many schools in the conference....yes, including Wes and many others...truth be told, the primary scribe is a Wes alum/former player, however, he is just one voice and one vote in the group...we have some good connectivity to some ADs/coaches in the conference so sometimes we get some interesting correct info (and sometimes we get some interesting incorrect info!)... with that being said, we are not trying to be neutral...we do try to be as objective and honest as possible, however...sometimes, obviously, that pisses people off, but so be it...we are always down for a good cigar (we'll miss having a smoke this year in Willyville with our good friend, Renzie Lamb) and adult beverage so bring it on...we're sure we'll recognize you...you'll be the guy with the the blue and gold bow tie, right?!?

I actually do appreciate your posts. And I have no problem with you trying to protect your anonymity. But, I have less patience for misdirection and falsehoods. Anyone who has followed this Board at all for the past few years would know that, whoever you are, you are a 100% Wesleyan homer. There is no consortium of any kind. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, but why the (attempted) misdirection?

Only a Wesleyan homer would have Wes atop the Power Rankings at this point. Only a Wesleyan homer would project a Wesleyan punter to win a Special Teams Player of the Year award that does not even exist. I doubt anyone associated with Trinity would endorse posts repeatedly referring to Trinity as Hartford St (I actually quite like the Lord Mammoths, however).

Why not just be an unabashed Wesleyan homer? Or at least stay silent on the subject. Anyway, i very much look forward to your picks on Friday. Let me guess, you will have Wes, Trinity, Amherst, Williams, and Midd all winning? 5-0!!!

Ok, I need to go check out this much anticipated Amherst roster. I hope it includes some crazy graphics or something.

[nescac1]

Folks, resistance to the Nescacman collective is futile. 

[Trin9-0]

Still the most accurate thing Nescacman has ever posted:

...a lot of the comments made about Hartford State are tongue in cheek and probably made more out of jealousy.

FYI, for anyone heading to Middletown on Saturday with plans to tailgate here are the regulations currently in effect per the Wesleyan Campus Pandemic Committee:

•   PARKING WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL NOON FOR THE HAMILTON GAME ON 9/25/21
•   GRILLS AND POP-UP TENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN THE PARKING AREA
•   VECHILES MUST EXIT THE PARKING AREA NO LATER THAN ONE HOUR AFTER CONCLUSION OF THE GAME
•   ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE NOT PERMITTED IN THE BLEACHERS OR AREAS SURROUNDING THE GAME FIELD
•   AVOID LARGE GATHERINGS
•   PLACE TRASH IN PROPER BINS BEFORE LEAVING THE PARKING AREA

Depending upon fan behavior and CPC concerns, the policies are subject to change prior to each remaining home football game. Protocol violators will lose parking privileges.
