FB: Empire 8

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

Pep, I was just in Chicago last week and when in Gurnee try to get a stuffed pizza at Giordano's...

It's literally right around the corner from Six Flags, they have the most amazing pizza i've ever had...

I LOVE Giordano's Stuffed Pizza!!!

Is there any new information out there about what Fisher is looking at this year? Anyone know of some new comers that can help, or if they will turn the ball over less than 6 times a game this year?

right now, they are looking at 0-1.

sheesh 82-nice optimism
season hasnt started and you got em down.

tho- you arent far off a prediction--just hoping for blind faith i guess
i am hoping that this team has a lot moe cohesion than last year
need to be a "team" in every sense.
fox needs to step up that d----looked waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to predictable last season

and we need a qb that doesnt have 3 to's a game

Or at least one that doesn't brush off mistakes by saying "oh well I've got 2 more years"...

Anybody here the rumor that Frostburg and Salisbury will enter the Empire 8?

[Pat Coleman]

Doubt that, unless there's a wider-ranging E8-CAC merger for football purposes.

[fisheralum91]

no kidding upstate
that is just the bad attitude that we dont need.
here is to hoping that last seson was the taste of humble pie that they needed

Pep heard that Frostburg State was a possible E8 prospect but that Frostburg would accept only as part of a "package deal" that included Salisbury State and Wesley. Pep thinks that would be highly unlikely.

I heard that the presidents voted Frostburg and Salisbury in but not Wesley. Heard it could start as early as 2010. I am sure Frostburg and Salisbury are lobbying for Wesley.

interesting news there.
not quite sure how i feel about them joining the E8
tho it does fill the gaps, i cant help but wonder what it would have been like with NY schools

I was hoping that the travel cost would wake up NY D3 football, but it looks like it will be just as fragmented as before. It is sad that we can't be playing NY schools versus traveling to Maryland. Does not make a lot of sense.

That's kind of surprising because only last week the posters on the ACFC/Independents board were hyping the fact that Stevenson U. was adding football, opening up the possibility of a football schedule and potential AQ for the CAC. Maybe Frostburg and Salisbury just couldn't wait, or the E8 looked like a better option.

I am waiting for the press release and the details of "pre-nuptials".

For how long will the affiliation last? What notice must the schools give to  leave?

Part of that "rumor" could be that those schools have no one to play in that time of the season when the NJAC, the LL, the Centennial, the MAC and everyone else are playing conference games.
