Welcome aboard. I assume Hartwick will have figured out how to play on the road this year? Otherwise I'd say it's more like 6-4, 3-3.

But a really, really entertaining 6-4, 3-3.

1. Hartwick 9-1
2. Ithaca 8-2
3. ST. John Fisher 7-3
4. Utica 6-4
5. Springfield 6-4
6. Alfred 6-4
7. Norwich 2-8

Hopefully Hartwick will be able to solve the riddle of how to beat an NEFC team this year.  They are coming to Ithaca and to Fisher in their 2nd and 3rd games...I'm going to go ahead and say they are more than likely going to lose those games.  Too early to tell how Springfield and Utica will be, so I will say Hartwick will deafeat one and lose to the other.  Alfred will probably defeat Hartwick as well.  So I predict a 5-4 season, with wins over Western New England, Norwich, Becker, Utica, and Mount Ida.  Look out!

1. Hartwick 9-1

If you are going to make a post this disconnected from reality, why give yourself a loss?  Did you think we would take it seriously because you conceded one loss?

Too bad Hartwick doesn't have their 2008 Football roster up so we can't tell if BrownR@Hartwick.edu is on the club. 

If you are a player, a word of advice, talk to your teammate that posted here last year (he of the one tackle on the season) before posting anything else...

I think it's been Upstate's position all along that Mount Union is the only opponent he will concede Fisher will lose to this year.

[boobyhasgameyo]

Here is my pre-season prediction special (going by overall record, not E8 record)

Ithaca 9-1 (5-1) Not winning at Growney this year
Fisher 8-2 (5-1) Fisher always loses to somebody they shouldn't, this year it's Utica
Springfield 8-2 (4-2) Beats all with the exception of Fisher and Ithaca
Alfred 7-3 (3-3) Beats all with the exception of Fisher Ithaca and Springfield
Utica 6-4 (2-4) Big wins over RPI and Fisher but loses to Alfred Springfield Hartwick and Ithaca
Hartwick 5-4 (2-4) Beats mainly lesser competition, loses to most quality opponents
Norwich 3-7 (0-6) Norwich's swan song includes giving everyone in the E8 a gift wrapped win

I think it's been Upstate's position all along that Mount Union is the only opponent he will concede Fisher will lose to this year. 

I like the way the schedule looks, besides the first game, this year.  IC, HC and Salisbury are all traveling to Growney this year and thats going to be the difference in those games.  As far as UC beating SJF Booby, not just yet.  There could be some "bad blood" between the two staffs and I think SJF puts it too them this year....

As long as were making predictions...

1.  SJF  (auto bid from E8)
2.  IC   (at-large bid)
3. Hartwick  (ECAC)
4. Springfield  (ECAC)
5. Alfred 
6. Utica
7. Norwich

-I think Fisher goes 9-1 overall, only loss to Mount Union. 
-Ithaca finishes 9-1 as well, only loss to SJF. 
-Hartwick surprises once again this season, going 7-3 overall.  Boltus is the real deal and is one of the best QB's in the East Region.  Losses to SJF, IC, and Springfield.
