Yeah I remember thinking the same thing last year the days leading up to the Fisher-Ithaca game.  I used to look forward to coming back from work and reading like 15 pages worth of smack talk....Now I am excited if there are two new entries let alone pages. 

Where are people like FA05?  Is Supes dead?  The Ithaca posters are more tame than years past......Can I get a HEY PRIDE??  Hell there even used to be a Norwich poster way back in the day.

True, true...must Pep resort to posting his current mileage on the pep bandwagon to get some chatter on the boards? Heck, Pep thought that was necessary only in the off-season.

Here's Pep's Picks:
Ithaca 49, ST. LAWRENCE 6
UTICA 38, Becker 17
Alfred 37, UMASS-DARTMOUTH 13
Mt. Union 31, ST. JOHN FISHER 17
HARTWICK 28, Morrisville 6
SPRINGFIELD 46, Fitchburg State 14

(home team in caps)

I'm sorry hhawks but springfield is going to roll fitchburg. I would even be as bold to say 42-0.
Ithaca over St. Lawrence
Utica over Becker
Alfred over UMass-Dartmouth
Hartwick over Morrisville
Mt. Championship over Fisher

and now its crickets.

The only thing less interesting than weird discussions of reasons Fisher "won't get beat that bad" are discussions about the lack of discussions.

Sorry Jose--board is dead!

Don't think I was comparing Steenberg to Grastorf as much as I'm hoping Matthews might come on the way Felicetti did.  He's certainly interesting... attending Purdue and then Delaware before making his way to IC.

I believe he was 2nd team All-State QB at the Class A level in 2007.  It's been a while since we've had a QB with that sort of pedigree.

Interesting story....I met Mike Mathews dad in the Atlanta airport last fall. He was ridding back to the airport from the rental car place in the same shuttle as me. He was talking to a coach from Liberty College (what are the odds of this happening, all three of us on the same bus) and mentioned his son was looking for a school to attend. I suggested if his son was interested in a great education and a chance to play for a top notch D3 school I had a suggestion. He said he had already been contacted by Mount Union and he and his son had been to the Hobart game the prevoius weekend! Met all the coaches and spent time with Greg and Nate too. Loved everything about the school but thought the setting was small.? It's D3 

Anyway I pressed the issue and he shared that they had also been to Deleware and thought the coach was a jerk. Anyone remember K. C. Keeler? Spent most of his time with them talking about some collector car he owned.

Still pressed Mount but he said they were also looking at Ithica....I said I didn't know a lot about them except they were in a good conference and Mount had beaten them in the playoffs. I said his son would not enjoy being hammered by the Raiders defense in the playoffs. And then the line that clinched it......"Well they didn't have his son at QB then!"
Oh boy another "you haven't seen anything like it" line and  the season wasn't even over in 2008 and 2009 hasn't even begun.  LK has revoked my recruiting credentials.

Oh well, only time will tell if the young lad has chosen wisely.  Go Ithica!

[fisheralum91]

good story raider guy...
all this school jumping doesnt lend itself to a nice confident feeling for IC faithful im sure.

[SJFF82]

good story....with your apparent recruiting skills next time press IthAca and hopefully the star player will come to Fisher
