Congrats to Kean.

[D O.C.]

Come on Kean, you can do Newport.

I'm just soo beside myself, so here goes :

1. Kean, kick some butt and do the NJAC proud.
2. (5) East Teams in (3) brackets. OK you think the East sucks, so letls see what happens.
3. All (5) East Teams, Do Some Damage. Everyone plays after Thanksgiving. Sorry Norwich.
4. I hope Coach "G" & "O" have a Happy Thanksgiving, too bad they did not give the kids a chance to go to the dance. I have more to say, but commen sense says no more.

I feel sorry for West Conn.  This year's senior class ended their college career with 4 overall wins (2 wins each in 08 & 09), and a 21 game losing streak dating back to November of 2009.  Every NJAC team this got at least 4 wins with the exception of: West Conn (0), Morrisville (1) & Brockport (3).  So even Paterson who won 4 games this year won as many games this year as the Colonials have the last 4 seasons.



Also, congrats to Kean winning the conference

Who now molds young minds as a teacher.  What a scary thought.  Although his posts were legendary. He was pretty funny.

Rodman ... ahhh, those were the days...

On another subject ... the NJAC avoided a four-way tie for first when TCNJ missed an 18 yard field goal with seconds left against Kean earlier this year. TCNJ, Montclair, Cortland and Kean would have been tied for first – all with two losses. Wonder who would have had the honor of advancing to the playoffs under that scenario! TCNJ with losses to Cortland & Buffalo State. Montclair with losses to TCNJ & Kean. Cortland with losses to Kean and Montclair and Kean with losses to Brockport and TCNJ.

All things being equal, the NJAC's pool A bid and the NJAC title would go to the team with the longest title drought.  That team would be Kean, who last was co-champion with TCNJ in 1994.

In this case I thought it would first come down to head-to-head with the four tied teams. Against each other TCNJ and Kean had 2-1 records while Montclair and Cortland were 1-2. With Cortland & Montclair eliminated, TCNJ beat Kean in the head-to-head – therefore TCNJ goes to the playoffs.

As far as whomever had the longest title drought being the deciding factor ... even Rock, Paper, Scissors is a more equitable solution.

[clandfan]

TCNJ lost to Kean and Cortland.  1-2.  Kean still goes.

I know that. Read my earlier "What If" post regarding the four-way tie that would have been created if TCNJ had made their 18 yard field goal to beat Kean with a few seconds remaining in their game earlier in the season.

If TCNJ wins, yes they go.  I don't remember everything from doing the ATR East, and writing the NJAC for the pre-season D3 magazine.  I do remember talking to Terry Small (NJAC commish) about tie breakers, and FWIW I remember that the LAST tie breaker is longest title drought gets the pool A.

My notes are on an old laptop... I think... but I had the tie breaking rules for every league in the East.
