Dlip thought about this a bit last night. There is no question there were/are some excellent players in the east this season. Dlip is feels many have some excellent thoughts regarding their support of others they believe should have won the erpoy honors. Yesterday, as usual, dlip reacted harshly (dlips apologies again bombers) to those who questioned Gallo's winning of the erpoy. Dlip justs wants to be clear here in his thoughts. Clear in a respectful manner. Maybe dlip has not seen everyone play across the region and/or nation this season. Yet to dlip, Pat and the fellas did a great job selecting Justin Gallo. This was the correct choice. Not only is Justin clearly the player of the year in the east region, dlips is confideNT in saying he may be the best receiver in the nation, period. Dlip does not say this because he bleeds garnet, he says this because he believes it to be true.

No need to apologize, Dlip. I said some things I shouldn't have, but none of it was meant to specifically disparage an excellent player like Gallo, simply to call attention to other possibly deserving players. The world would be pretty boring if we all agreed with one another about everything, no?

+K to both of you, nothing wrong with disagreeing.

So we all agree that Gallo should not have won the award because he didn't have enough catches over 40 yards in games versus teams with .750 winning percentages at home in big games where the offense was on the field in the 2nd half.

I think there was something about rain in there too.

And ECAC bowl game implications 

[maxpower]

Honestly if Ithaca had wireless internet in its press box I think Gallo could have had 5 touchdowns in that game last year.

Having lived in this east region for years has enabled myself to view a great many division 3 college football contests. I have been an avid and dedicated fan for some time now. This past years play boasted some of the toughest and most talented teams/players in recent memory, here in the east. Living in the greater Rochester area I am typically constricted to programs within my "reach." However, I do occasionally wander outside of my boundaries. With today's technologies it is much easier to keep up with more distant universities. In any event, the east region was indeed impressive this season.

The Empire 8's daunted rushing attack's(Salisbury, Springfield) and overall depth as a league made every game exciting to view - Utica's program has made great strides. St. John Fisher fought through injury to move into NCAA playoff contention, impressive will understate. Many NJAC teams prove distant, however Cortland allows myself an outlet to the league. Proving one of the toughest teams in the country, Cortland's combination of Pitcher and Babin led the charge. With Castro anchoring the line, the QB-WR tandem posed a great threat every Saturday. The Liberty League holds probably the most powerful and well-rounded program of the east in Hobart. With U of R being extremely convenient I am inclined to view their home contests rather regularly. Hobart's presence as an entire program was extremely strong, and their play on the field undoubtedly backed them. To bring this main topic(East Region POY Award) into view, I also saw U of R host Union College.
   
In regards to Liberty League play my bias remains in favor of the Jackets. However, the Union game became less about two teams and more about one player. The Gallo boy from Union seemed to decide to take the game over. What impressed the most was how well-rounded his abilities were:he sprung over defenders to haul in passes, tip-toed the sidelines, went over the middle and really climbed that ladder. U of R attempted defenses which I have never seen, in attempt to contain this young man. His speed in the open field stood out above all else. Many solid football players scattered about the east.

As a region who may not receive as much respect or notoriety as the others, it is important to embrace these teams/players earning themselves spots in the ncaa's/awards. Show these other regions that we certainly can compete! Further, that we do have talent to match or exceed that of the other regions. Go East!

Before you read d3fballexcels post, you should have this music playing in the background.  +K for some good insight.

God, dlip misses Union football already

[mattvsmith]

Off-season is tough on all of us, dlip. The Rev keeps checking the LLPP for the latest news knowing full well that there is no news. The Rev just can't stop himself from checking in here.

Then time to turn your attention to the Skating Dutchmen dlip, currently ranked #11 in the country, and coming off of a 5-2 win over RPI (in one of the greatest holiday tournament names I've heard, the Festivus Faceoff. Brilliant).

How can it be the Festivus Faceoff if it's not played on December 23rd?

Maybe its time for their hockey team to step up its non conference schedule like the football team has.  (Michigan was a good one I'll admit)
