FB: New Jersey Athletic Conference

[JT]

Rowan nominates for NJAC and ECAC honors.  They tend to ignore D3football.com with regard to honors, polls, and press releases.  My association with D3football.com/rowanfootball.com likely has something to with it.

Rutgers has been successful running receiver Tiquon Underwood directly out of the shotgun as QB while regular QBs Hart or Teel line up as wideouts. It just adds another threat to the offense (as any Syracuse fan can attest).

With the weapons Rowan has, adding a wrinkle like this to the spread in a no-huddle offense could cause a defense fits. Wright can run directly out of the shotgun or hand off to Encarnacion. Do it a few times and force the defense to adjust.

I have done what I can to see that RowanFootball.com and RU work in concert with each other, and I believe some progress has been made. The fact that JT does everything to provide quality and very useful information about the program, and yet the SID Dept., at times, turn their nose up to him, is a shame to me as an alum and a former player who is fortunate to be involved with the football program for 25 years. I feel a lot of it has to do with keeping a balance in the SID department. They can't give more attention to Football over say, women's field hockey. Thank you Title IX. But we all know that football, at the majority, if not all of the schools across the country (high school, D1, D2, D3, 1AA, etc.) provides more exposure than most any other sport combined.

I'll keep trying and JT, you keep up the good GREAT work!

Dr. xGSC,

Thanks.  Everything seems to be going OK.  I just thought I'd give a diplomatic response to ACMob.  I get a lot of email as to why certain things are the way they are.  I know a lot of Rowan fans read PP as lurkers.

TCNJ runs a close second to Rowan in how they treat members of this "internet media gerneration".  Most of the other SID's are quite accomodating.

I make a point of sharing my pictures that are "opponent centric" with the opposing coaches and SID's.  I figure that will help build goodwill for D3football.com and rowanfootball.com.

Kean pregame story:

It's sad to see that the NJAC board has really turned into a Rowan board. My statement is not made to disrespect Rowan, but rather a compliment to all of the posters at Rowan. I really mean what I said.

Last year there were a few Montclair posters, and now I stand alone. There is an occasional Kean or WP poster, but very rare. Dan is a breath of fresh air. I guess there is nothing anyone can do. That's just the way it is.

OK, I've spoken my mind.

LET'S  GO  MIGHTY  RED  HAWKS  !!!!!!!!

It's very predictable. The Montclair fans are in force as long as the Red Hawks have a national ranking – otherwise fuhgetaboutit – you being the exception. The occasional WPU and Kean poster will show up in August with a "...this might be the year!" post – and then they're gone with the first 4 TD defeat. The WestConn posters ... well let me know when we have a sighting. Rodman, where art thou whitty retorts?

So in the meantime, we non-rowansters get to watch the boys post it up in here. What excitement is lacking is made up for when the posts start flying between Rowan and their playoff opponent – particularly if they get to the semis or beyond.

Phil/Dave,

I always try to invite others to check out d3football and post patterns.  I told two former MSU players from the 1980 team via email exactly how to get in.

Former NJAC football players know this exists yet you rarely see those kind of posters from the other schools.  One would think they'd come here just to talk football and good times.  Hell the RPI guys have created a virtual frat house on the web.

JT,

Thanks for your help. I guess patients is a virtue.
I hope my pent-up energy will be worth it for the last game of the year.

Jersey, the invite is always there to lounge around on the LL board, football comments are optional.

I hear ya.  it's alot that on the ACFS/Indpendent Board.  Just a few Salisbury and Wesley posters and the ever present nnasid, who is a great guy.  Heck we even have to share our board with independents, and we still have trouble getting poster ;(

[rams1102]

NJ,

Hang in there buddy. Good luck to Wesley and the Gulls.

[ACMob]

JT & Gang-- thanks for the input. 

I agree with DP-- keep SW away from everyone.  He's TOO dangerous out on the island.  A play or two is 8)!

Dave-- stay away from the big "MAC"!!  Half of my karma was created over there!

'GRO-- was it the tri sigs??

Youngcouger-- "come out, come out wherever you are, it's the BIG BAD WOLF!!"

Received this via email, could this be a Kean player?  He might be responding to my pregame story. Below is his unedited response.

You really expect The Profs to come to cougarville, and trample the cougars? do you really think that the cougars are just going to lay down and tke a beating against the # 4 team in the nation? Well I think that you think your rowns team is a little to good now in days. If you dont remember Rowan almost lost to kean last year, they only won because they have a very talented reciever who should not even be playing at Rowan, and should be playing at some Div. I school. Rowan is very beatable, and will be beaten this saturday at Kean in Union, NJ. Now we should have won last year, but our team only got better since last year. So do you really think the outcome favors Rowan? Becasue I certainly do not think that whatsoever.
