[Trin9-0]

nescac1: I'd pretty much have to agree with everything you wrote. And though Williams did have a longer stretch dominance than Trinity has accieved (thus far) even those great Eph teams didn't dominate in the same manner that the Bantams have over the past 26 games. 

And though I do agree that next year we could see Williams and Amherst close the gap a little, we have not seen the end of this current Trinity run of dominance.

IS everyoner still planning on going to the gamer, despite the weather?  Im debating whether or not it is worth it.

ayone have a score for Bowdoin - Trinity?

[Roonyhufsfarts]

17-3 Trin, Bowdoin is putting upa fight, but turnovers are kiling them....gave one up on the trin 5 yard line after competing a 60 yard bomb

[bant551]

Bowdoin looks like a pretty good team so far (near the end of the 3rd).

I am impressed at their improvement and I don't think a good record at the end of the year will be a fluke at all judged on what I've seen.

FInal score: 23-3 Trin

A sloppy game overall, Trinity and Bowdoin combined for i would say at least 5 fumbles, most of which resulted in tuirnovers.  Trin just ran the ball, Bowdoins offense was rarly on the field as trinity slugged downfield on 3-5 yeard gains.  passing for both teams was poor, lots of dropped balls, although trini managed a couple of good plays.  Bowdoin had almost no offense the send half and by the 4th were just heaving up passes most of which were tipped, nearly intercepted, or way overthrown.

No suprises here.  Although Bowdoins defense is MUCH imporved, they still hav e a ways to go before they can stop the Bants.  and Trins defense totally dominated, except on one big pass play that ended up not costing them.

4-1...the Jumbos let me down.  Should've known Williams wouldn't take another one.

[Trin9-0]

former: I hate to say I told you so, but Tufts always stumbles the second half of the season. I went 5-0 on the weekend to keep pace with dirty.

I was at the Trin-Bowdoin game and though the Polar Bears never threatened the Bantams, I do believe they have a legit shot at 7-1 (especially with Colby's pedestrian showing against Hamilton.

Middlebury finally got their act together, let's see if they can keep the momentum going and give the Bants a game.

Wesleyan, you're pathetic.

colbys defense agains hamilton only allowed 7 points, the other 13 were on fluke plays due to weather conditions. sure, colby didnt win by 58, but their defense was as good as it had to be (held hamilton to 7 points, sacking hamilton 5 times and making them go 0 for 3 in the red zone) and qb justin smith was excellent, hence the nescac offensive player of the week award. watch out bates, tufts and bowdoin, colby is looking for a 7-1 finish...

[dirtybirds8-0]

5-0 on the week...good job trin8-0...former, you could get one back.  This week could pose some tough picks.  Anyway, the Bantams continued dominance in the coop, no suprises here.  Colby? What happened to them?  Also, congrats to the panthers for getting in the win column...they have the bants at home this weekend and could put up a great fight...they would loooove to end the streak, and that field is always tricky to play on, not to mention the sloppy play of the bantams the last few games.  Trinity defense has allowed 9 points in 5 games.....ummmmm....thats pretty good, no matter what league you are playing in!

[dirtybirds8-0]

By the way...Michael Blair has 1/2 of a sack to tie, and just 1 sack to break the all-time sack record at Trinity College (current record 24).  He should be able to accomplish this milestone at Middlebury this weekend.  If I were middlebury I would double team him....maybe not pass the ball at all?  COME ON...LISTEN TO ME!

[formerbant10]

Dirty, records are meant to be broken and if someone does break it, I'm sure Blair is the right guy to do it.
Trin, you did tell me, I just couldn't go against family and the hope of Williams losing again.  Plus I've never been one to play it safe, I like going for the kill shot as soon as I can. 

[Ephs1991]

On Trin 8-0's question regarding who Williams' biggest rival is - from the players perspective (at least during 1987-1990) we always looked to Trinity as the biggest rivalry.  Amherst was a big rivalry but more for the students.
