To those former players who have joined the Boards, welcome. Awesome when other former NESCAC student-athletes jump in. Would love to have you as guests for our NESCAC Football podcast beginning late summer of 2024.     

I hope we could work this out. It would be fun to discuss the outlook of the Bantams shooting for the 3-peat amidst all of the new faces we will see in Hartford, as well as what fans can expect from a player's outlook.

We already have a couple of stellar guests lined up for the podcast including some NESCAC legends. Would love to include you. Please message us privately so we can get the dialogue going. The show will be hosted by yours truly and the voice of the Cards, Chris Grace.

Jut finished my playing career at Bowdoin and look forward to becoming more active on this board. All things considered it was a very disappointing season and a lot was left on the table. I think the Middlebury game will haunt me the most- having the ball on their 6 yard line with a chance to go ahead late in the 4th on the road.. just brutal. Also I thought we should've handled Wes by 10.. the sequence of blocked fg, pick sick, fumble six, broken coverage td right before half absolutely changed that game.. should've been 21-0 at half (shoulda woulda coulda- I know) I think that our offensive skill players were probably the most talented Bowdoin has had in recent memory between Fahey, king, postemski, eden, Watson, Hoggard (who's injury hurt us a lot), and boel/long and not sure a more talented group will roll into Brunswick any time soon- hurts to know we left so many wins on the table- especially as a senior who has seen the talent grow immensely since the time we arrived in Brunswick. Defensively, we were the definition of boom/bust. way too many big plays over the top that absolutely changed momentum in big moments. For such an undersized front 7 I thought we performed very well but obviously trinity exploited that and then some in week 10- they were an absolute wagon. Playing in the nescac has been an amazing experience and I have a lot of respect for a lot of players/coaches as well as the people on this board that spread their passion for nescac football daily.

Westcoaast-
You guys accomplished a lot at Bowdoin. Despite some disappointment there were some bright spots. The most talented Bowdoin team in several years especially at the skill positions as you stated.
Are any of the '24 seniors returning next year?

Nescacman,
What do you think the chances the all-league information comes out today v. next week?  25/75; 50/50; 75/25?

Since the Ivies put out their list yesterday, we'd put it at 50/50.

I'll follow the many new accounts on here in saying that I too just finished my last game of NESCAC football. I made my account on the bus ride back to Middlebury while sitting next to the championship banner

NM - Thank you for the welcome and for all your insights over the past few seasons. I've really enjoyed the content and look forward to joining the discussions.

Welcome as well, Maple. We cherish our 2019 NESCAC Championship Middlebury Football t-shirt sent to us by some of your alums after you smoked us to win the title that year. Hopefully, you'll upgrade us to a 2023 version of the shirt for our recognition of the Panthers as the true "King of the North". NM
