WTF....did the recession hit the boards also ???  Thanks to PC and Co., it is still free to 'talk' smack on gameweek....where the hell is everyone?
Who is everyones week 1 picks?

Mine are:

Ithaca    at    St. Lawrence (Blow out of week)      
Becker       at    Utica  
Alfred    at    UMass-Dartmouth       
Mount Union    at    St. John Fisher (I love when David beats Goliath)   
Morrisville         at    Hartwick       (No Boltus, No problem in this one)
Fitchburg State at    Springfield  

Hey guys.  Just getting back on the board for the start of the season.  Where is everybody I was expecting atleast 40 pages of good ol-fashioned smack talk!

My week 1 predictions:

Ithaca                45     
St. Lawrence       10

Utica           21
Becker        20

Alfred                     42
Mass-Dartmouth     17

Fisher        28
Mt. Union   27


Hartwick     28
Mo'ville        17

Springfield        35
Fitchburg St.     17

Syracuse      28
Minnesota     24

I'm hoping that both Fisher and Syracuse will pull it off!

Yeah I don't think Hartwick's gonna lose to a team that went 1-9 last year...  They'll definitely score more than 10

As stated above, I aslo believe Hartwick will win.  BUT, Morrisville is improving and has brought in alot of good players from the Syracuse area.  This one could be closer than expected!

dlip is loving the FB talk here and would like to contribute. He knows the feeling regarding the lack of talk on the boards at times. In dlip's case, he is obsessed and is always wanting to hear and read more on the site. dlip used to tool on people who spent tons of time on blogs/internet/etc and now after three years of loving d3football.com dlip may have to tool on himself. d3football.com is the best. Anyway dlip's picks for the week:

Ithaca 37, SLU 0
Utica 27, Becker 10
Alfred 52, Umass-D 10
Mt. Union 42, SJF 10
Morrisville 21, Wick 10
The Pride of Western Mass 45, Fitchburg State 27

*dlip feels Wick must prove first they can play without Phelan/Boltus before he gives them an inch. With Wick's D even Morrisville could seem like an offensive juggernaut. Also no way The Pride lose this one. Springfield is dlip's sleeper and with Carter improving (getting stronger and learning the system) they will be dangerous. There only ? is the D. The Saxons win easily and Ithaca does not even have to wear pads for the fourth quarter. Going with Utica's new #'s in camp (150?) feeling like they are only going to continue to improve, with those numbers they hopefully should. As much as it hurts, dlip feels like MUC is just going to role into pittsford and clobber SJF without much of a fight. He really hopes he is wrong here.


Wick only scores 10? I know they lost 2 of their best players of maybe all time but come on...

dlip hears ya but just feels that Wick must show they can score consistently without the two studs before he gives them love. dlip actually is rooting for Wick here! Think about the last couple of years at Wick...Boltus/Phelan = almost al the O...Defense = atrocious. This year...No Boltus/Phelan, Defense = probably still atrocious (but hopefully improved). The loses to WNEC and playoff loss to Curry still to fresh in dlips mind and those games were with Boltus/Phelan.

I think DLip is right re: Springfield.  I know they don't look that good but that team is always at their best the season they return a QB.  At the very least, I bet they hang up some crooked numbers on Saterdays.

I think that MUC will still win, but I can almost guarantee that Fisher won't score 28 points on MUC's Defense this weekend.  ;)

The last time MUC gave up 28 points was to UWW in 2005 and MUC won 35-28.  MUC is also returning like 8-9 starters on D.  I am more worried about putting points on the board than giving up points...

What is the deal with the party on the terrace? Is this for the MUC game, or is this for the game against U of R? I know all about the U of R party (and will be there) but if there is one for the MUC game I don't know about it.
GO FISHER!!!
