East Region Fan Poll

[fisheralum91]

didnt see that one coming.
thought that UC would have given them a better game.

[pumkinattack]

UofR did have 420 yards of offense, 41+ min TOP and Costa only had 21 yards rushing (granted UofR could've been keying on the run game, but McCarthy is supposed to be a legit receiving threat if he's in man coverage).  It's also a home game against a 0-3 team (although a team that's played a very tough first three games in Case Western, SJF and Union).  I thought the WPI win was a nice one, particularly because no one in the east has really had a good road win, but we don't know who WPI really is since their firsts three games were against a Hartwick-esque schedule, Utica just got blown up by Springfield (who was handled the week before by AU) and IC isn't blowing Hartwick away (so far).  I guess the point is that yes, the starting QB is out, but we didn't really know much about RPI going into this game.  Not to say RPI isn't in the mix or that they won't be a top team at the end of the year.

Right now I think you have to have AU, DelVal or Albright as #1.  I'm not ready to declare Kean the top dog in the east and suspect that the NJAC is having as many problems as the LL and E8.  For the LL, depending on what happens tonight at Union, next week will start to shake teams out in the LL, I think.  If Palazzi is out for a while, SU is in trouble too, because the backup isn't at the same level (SU had two TD's against Bart and 7 pts in the second half basically on a big pass play to Ritter or Moran, I forget).

dlip will give Kean some love this week but looking at the top one has to consider Albright, Alfred, and Del Val. After this week dlip is think Rowan may be back high on his radar and remember Cortland has Smith back. Unless IC wakes up and blows out Wick dlip is still not going to be impressed with them. Also Springfield showed its true colors today against a good Utica team. dlip feels they **** the bed on D against Alfred but showed they are not to be taken lightly and are worthy of ERFP recognition.

Honestly, what has either team (Springfield & Utica) done to warrant ANY respect??  Neither program has beaten a .500 team yet in '09.  Springfield got mashed by another team (Alfred) which we still know little about.

dlip sees your point but Utica has played well against RPI (who is not a bad team), IC (who is still ranked #20 nationally and is not a bad team), and has shown glimpses of offensive improvement from previous years. With this said dlip does not feel Utica is in any way a top tier team, but a team that is decent and really middle of the road in the region right now. To dlip if Springfield got **** on today it would have answered all questions about the Pride. Yet the Pride handed Uticas ass to them, on the road, and won convinvingly, which tells dlip they are a team worthy of ERFP consideration. Plus that ****in offense can be nightmarish for teams and seems to be clicking on all cylinders in 09. Even in the loss to Alfred (who dlip feels is a top tier ER team this season) they put up 29 points.

Springfield getting their butts whupped by Alfred spoke louder to me than Springfield whuppin' Utica today.  I understand that Utica played competitively against both Ithaca & RPI, but their only wins are over quite possibly the worst 2 programs in all of D3.

LD11 no longer has any ties in d3 football.  If Union wins, I may put them at 1 in this weeks poll.

I felt this way after the Union loss to Muhlenburg......you will feel a bit better around Wednesday.

I doubt it.  Unless RPI runs the table the rest of the way, they will not sniff the top 10 in my poll.  Talent wise they deserve it.  Coaching wise they are at about 75th in the East. (Behind the entire NEFC...and Union...and even Husson)

#3 RPI, loses at home to U of R 16-10. 

Well hopefully now the RPI fans won't be so vocal about the "lack of respect" their team is getting this year.

See ya in the ECAC's cardinal fans!

[pumkinattack]

Gro, Gro, Gro,  I think it's Hobart's turn to beat an E8 team in the ECAC's (probably Springfield though).

Plus Gro, didn't you forget how sweet their basketball team is? 

It's one thing to comment on the game and RPI's team in a analytical way, but taking shots at fans/alums/former players on here right after a sh**y loss here means bringing on the pain LL style.
