If Cortland beats Montclair, Montclair could go from #1 seed in the East to out (since Rowan is likely going 9-1). In that case, give me an 8-2 IC team against a ticked-off MSU team, and watch the fireworks.

Although seeing IC whip Norwich in an ECAC game would be good, solid fun, too.

I've said numerous times, Coach Murray is the closest thing to a high school coach on the college level that I've ever seen.  He seems to know his players like he's been working with them since they were in kindergarten.  He is concerned with them as people, not just as football players.  My wife and I can't thank him enough for the help he gave to both of our sons.  Congratulations AU and finish strong!


Figured Tad, Kaz and Pep might get a kick out of this...

I've been talking with Pecoraro while he's down in Arizona for the Border Patrol.  He's stationed in Tuscon.  Guess he went out for a drink one night and ran into AU alum's Chris Fee (who played at St. Lawrence then GA'd at AU) and Chris Sarge.  Guess they are both teaching down there and coaching a high school or middle school football team...  Crazy small world but now AU has a strong Southwestern presence...


I was in Arizona last week.  Got a chance to see Chris Fee(head coach),Chris Sargent(defensive coordinator) and (Nick?) Pecoraro (asst coach) all in action.  They are coaching at Sahuarita High School.  The temp was 90+ every day.  I think I could get used to that!

Good to hear they are doing well!!  Sarge was without a doubt my favorite GA when I was there

I thought IC didnt participate in the ECAC's?

Sorry if this has been covered already but does anyone know why Borum didn't play for Fisher against AU?

I heard it was a strained muscle...

Nothing that would keep him out long term...

AU wasn't even in the "receiving votes" category last week...

SJF lost 110 points from last week...

They're separated by a whopping 10 points...

I just really dont get it... Alfred, the defending E8 Champions beat SJF handily and yet they still get no respect? Like come on!! What has SJF done that's so great this year? Why does the fan polls think that SJF should still be higher than AU? An RPI loss? Who cares!! AU is undefeated in the E8, they just beat Fisher, and they are still behind them in the fan polls...

It's just ridiculous.  I have A LOT of respect for SJF but when is AU going to finally get the respect that they deserve?

...and tarnish their perfectly fine Rodney Dangerfield image? No way! Let the polls be as they may. Don't get your jock strap in a knot, AS8. The only thing that matters is what happens on the field.

Now Pep was thinking....Rochester beat Worcester Tech, Worcester Tech beat RPI, RPI beat Alfred....then UR could very well hand the Saxons their second loss of the season.

[fisheralum91]

Wow.
Do ya think that AU faithful have a Rodney Dangerfield thing going on?


Honestly tho- i hear your point....poll doesnt make sense....
Maybe people just dont like Mayberry

I just dont get it... AU loses to an unranked RPI team and drops out of the top 25.  SJF loses to an unranked AU team and remains ahead of AU in the fans poll...

Well, RPI beat Alfred, but you clearly don't think RPI is better than Alfred.  So, is it possible that voters still think Fisher is a better team than Alfred even though they just lost to the Saxons?
