i don't think ted rodgers actually played in the nfl-- he was on washington's travel/taxi squad but not the actual team

[saul]

  if he' protected, i say close enough--especially for nescac purposes. i think coash was maybe on a taxi squad/protected with pats ( others).

i think shield actually dressed for real games in lambeau.

off to class; more names please

bill belicheck, head coach of the world champion patriots played center at wesleyan

[Garnet]

Coash did play with the Boston Breakers of the USFL.

[speedy]

. . .roger leclair (sp?)- trinity . . .

His name is Roger Leclerc. An interesting side note is that he is the grandfather of Bowdoin's current quarterback, Ricky Leclerc.

Come on fellas....Does anyone else have any predictions for the scores this weekend?  Enough of all this squash and rules talk........season starts saturday, lets get some forecasts for the weekend.

[formerbant10]

Bants 46-Bobcats 6....the Trinity players are fired up for this one, could end up messy if they try to win the game every play though.
Williams squeaks by Colby @ Colby 13-10....not sure if the Mules are quite ready to be at the top.
Amherst 28-Hamilton 10....I've never seen Hamilton do much offensively, or defensively for that matter.
Tufts 21-Wesleyan 17.....Biased towards the Jumbos this year.
Middlebury 35-Bowdoin 14....No clue on this game

The only thing that could stop the Bants would be if Ditka coached Bates this weekend.

[camper]

trinity 38 bates 12
colby 23 williams 17
midd 23 bowdoin 21
amherst 35 hamilton 10
wesleyan 24 tufts 6... big surprise here

[Jonny Utah]

bill belicheck, head coach of the world champion patriots played center at wesleyan

did belicheck actually play football??  I mean I heard that he did, but did he get a letter? or play? or start??

[saul]

  he played but i don't think he was that good based on the roast i went to in boston 2 yrs ago; i think his teammates nicknamed called him "speed" or something.

fred "superfly" scott, amherst  '74  played w/ the colts.... sorry I just saw somebody said him before

also,  jeff wilner wesleyan '94  played at gb and denver

[dirtybirds8-0]

Good picks (former) and (camper).....I still say Bowdoin wins @ home.....kinda nervous for tommorow....cant wait to see the final scores.

trinity 38 bates 12
colby 23 williams 17
midd 23 bowdoin 21
amherst 35 hamilton 10
wesleyan 24 tufts 6... big surprise here

bates scoring 12 on trinity?  puleez.  if thats the case it will be similar to last year wheen the team that scored the most points on trinity was tufts (14).  strange?  of course, tufts was pathetic.  but when the score is 1 milion to zero (give or take a few) at the end of the thrid quarter it is hard to keep your starters in beating the crap out of the poor sods.  maybe this year, with the slightly less dominant and experienced o-line (altough still very good) we will see what kind of RIDICULOUS statistics trinity's defense will post because they will actually get to play a full game!  although i guess i cant complain if they come out at the end of the beginning of the fourth

[Longtooth]

good luck ephs!

Tufts has another strong tie to the NFL....a freshman receiver is related to the legendary Papa Bear.

[saul]

   hamilton's Jeff Hewitt ' 74  played for the cowboys....

   saw in paper that belichick's kid is playing football as a senior captain at Rivers ( MA ) as a lb. maybe wesleyan has him heading its way next yr.
