East Region Playoff Discussion

Me too, Pep.  But our website has it all screwed up, they have us on the road!!

Pep is certain that the SID would post on the website only what he was told. Pep just heard from Secky that Coach Puccio told him he is "99% sure" that AU will host.

You know me, "overreaction" is my middle name!!

Moretti is confirming with the NCAA.

We would not post that on our bracket if it weren't confirmed with the NCAA already.

Moretti has confirmed....sorry, Pat...it's just that this development is so difficult to believe!

Current top story on saxons.alfred.edu:

Saxons to play at Maritime College in first-round NCAA playoff game
11/14/10
Alfred University will host Maritime College in a first-round NCAA Division III football championship tournament game Saturday, Nov, 20.

Good stuff.

I looked at Maritime's stats.  Are they an option team?

[DanPadavona]

SUNY-Maritime and Cal Lutheran are unable to host due to facilities.  The Manual also states that a team cannot just move to a nearby facility since it didn't play half or more of their games in that facility.  Thus, AU will be hosting, as will Linfield in Round 1.

Is Maritime in the middle of a stadium building project?

Navy Grad as a head coach... he'd be an option guy.  You get players willing to sacrifice like GA Tech, you can win with lesser players.

"[Kendick-Holmes'] linemen can be as light as 220 pounds, as long they have 'some lead in their pencil.'"


Double-entendre?

Typical military speak.  No biggie.

I have to admit that (1) I am new to posting on this board; (2) I have followed many of the posters on the board for years and (3) I have no skin in who wins and who loses.............I just love small college football and happen to live in the bucolic Doylestown, PA area.

My question is for skunks_sidekick. What did DelVal ever do to you? Your comments have a bit of venom in them and you have a bit of a "mine is bigger/better than yours" complex. Were you not hugged enough as a child?  

Because an occassional poster on the board brings up the every-now-and-then "East Coast Respect" factor, that is no reason to bash an "excellent", but not "elite" program. There truly are only two "elite" programs anyway, with only a handful of programs who truly care about becoming "elite" and settling for "solid" or "excellent" in the classroom first and on the field second.

Whether you're going to school at the midpoint between Philadelphia and New York.......or between Akron and Youngstown......or anywhere else, these kids (all of them) deserve nothing but our utmost respect whether they play for MTU, Whitewater, Kean, DelVal or a winless program.

Good luck to all of the teams and all of the STUDENT-athletes, regardless of what coast they're from, and let's truly keep all of this in it's proper life perspective........as much as we do love it!!

skunks lives and loves as a Mount Union fan.  He opines by proxy.  Its a good place to be when Larry Kehres lords over D3, except for the occasional hiccups.

Hedge....Del Val just happened to be the "next great East team" of the year.  It's nothing against them personally, it's more about the theory that the East gets screwed when Mount gets placed there.  I have heard/read this argument for the past few years, and it just gets old.

I have the utmost respect for Rowan, and if they were 10-0 I would fully expect them to be a #1.  Actually, if Del Val would have "held serve", we wouldn't have had 40 pages of diatribe regarding the East getting screwed.  If any East team that played in one of the "better conferences" had an undefeated record, there would be no argument.  That hasn't happened, hence Mount getting moved.

Now that you mention it, I wasn't hugged enough as a kid.  I am going to send my MOM a nasty email.  Thanks for reminding me about THAT (dayum you mom)!

Maybe its your Mom that needs sympathies.
