MidDay

We're sure that Panther Nation was happy to see our pick for the game tomorrow...sooner or later, we're bound to be right on the Pants...should be a great game...if the game was in Hartford, we think this one would be a no-doubter, but it's not so we'll see...


Well, it's always hard to argue against picking Trinity, so you get a pass this week, even if you end up wrong.  Thanks for picking against them for the karma.  It's the usual commentary about the "luck", "worst 3-0 team", "Muffies and Buffies" and "quitting" that make Panther Nation question the motivation of most of your Midd picks.  We think it's just frustration that Midd keeps beating Wes every time you think Wes has a championship caliber team.

Ultimately, it's all in good fun and I appreciate the effort you put into this.  And, yes, I know I botched the reply feature.  I'll figure it out eventually.

Ask Charlie how to use the quote feature... :)

We think this game is a toss-up and went with HS because we think they have a few more offensive weapons and will (barely) outscore MID...it should be a great game...we'll be watching!

One Williams note from the Berkshire Eagle: Jack Dickinson suffered an injury v Midd in the first half which is why he was pulled.  Wallace will start again today as Dickinson is still hurt.  Hopefully the first year QB can get it going in a better situation than entering mid-game v a top team in the league.  Speaking of tough situations Williams gave a first-year CB his first start last week and he had to cover Wood.  Certainly trial by fire and hopefully a learning experience.  The Eph pass rush and coverage need to both make massive strides in the coming weeks - the talent is there for those units to really improve. 

No matter what, the Ephs will need a heavy dose of Fischetti in every game going forward. Jack Ledden is starting to get going and may give the Ephs a desperately needed downfield weapon.

How about some pass defense?

Fischetti is out for the year. Injured in garbage time vs Midd.

Congrats to Colby on a nice win today over my Lord Jeffs.  Not much of a game but Colby played very well.

Let's think about this ...

Same coach + new admissions director from a school without football (he/him/they/it) + a president who decided to move as far left as any president in America + a "manufactured by the administration" lacrosse debacle + a relatively new but wholly ineffective athletic director = the worst talent in 50 years at Amherst.

Sad for us Lord Jeff fans.   Happy for the rest of the NESCAC!

Extremely happy for Colby football. Great to see their last win for this season!

Big win for my Continentals! Refs in that game were awful- ejected a player for targeting who wasn't on the field instead of the guy who did it

It's a sunny day in Cardinal Country!

Anytime both the Lord Mammoths AND the Purple Cows lose (both bad loses, we might add) AND Wesleyan wins, well it's a great day to be a Cardinal!!!

Is is just me but why is every Wesleyan home game seems to be loaded with penalties.

They will go 2-2 the rst of way. They will beat Hamilton and Bowdoin. I beleive will finish 5-4 which is a great season for them.

No they will beat Hamilton and Bowdoin and go 5-4 which is good season for them. Perhaps an upset possibly

Chuck,

What's your point with the penalties in the Wesleyan home games? FWIW, there were probably 6-8 false starts called on the Cards. Jumbos were stemming their front before snap and simulating snap calls and the OL was jumping. There you go, they are poorly coached and undisciplined and it should be cleaned up by now. Happy?

BTW, simulating a snap count on defense is illegal, just sayin'....
