East Region Fan Poll

[maxpower]

Ok,
Being a Midwest guy and too lazy to google it... where is Endicott?  Just curious in case UWW gets seeded #2 in the weakest bracket like last year and has to travel to Endicott for the play-offs (hotels, airport, ect...)  Thanks.

This might be post of the year

anyone know what happened to Ithaca the last time they played against an NEFC team?

Charles, this is a good retort, or comeback for trash-talking, it's true. But I challenge you to take that statement and actually derive from it the evidence for the argument you are actually trying to make. Because "three years ago, the last time an NEFC team and E8 team met in the playoffs, we won" is NOT that.


EDIT: I just cannot get over how idiotic this is. Curry won that game BY FIVE. THREE YEARS AGO. How the HELL is that relevant to who will be better in the playoffs now, much less whenever one conference has a team that could challenge for the Stagg (10 years? 20?).

[lewdogg11]

I will be the first to admit that the top tier of the NEFC has improved while a good deal of teams in the E8 and LL have digressed in the past few years.  But by improve, it means the top 1 or 2 NEFC teams can COMPETE with the likes of the LL and E8, not dominate.  Not even close. 

If I had a life or death situation where I had to pick the winner between SJF/Hobart vs. Endicott, I wouldn't choose Endicott.  Could they win, potentially yes.  But I'd put the odds against them.

I didn't even bother putting Salisbury there because Salisbury might win by 100 by the looks of their season.

So Charles, good for you for seeing improvement.  But win the NEFC consistently for a few years, win a few playoff games and then we can talk.  You'll notice that no one really bad mouths Curry because they've done just that and they earned their respect, even in a down year.

[Charles]

you guys are so funny, such passion, I love it....

[clandfan]

Be careful what you wish for Charles.  Glad your team is playing well.  While I will admit that our two losses make our chances slim to none, we would love the opportunity to punk you again and would be happy to do it in your own house this time.  You can conjour up all the delusions you want about scoring so many points on Cortland.  If you were there you know you got your arse kicked.  You don't want any part of the NJAC representative.

[dlippiel]

dlip thinks it may be time to just ignore Charles until he starts posting with some sort of passion and knowledge instead of just trying to get a rise out of everyone. See what Charles does not understand, like dlip did not first understand when he arrived on the D3 boards, is how passionate, knowledgeable, and serious (within the game of football, not life) we are about our D3 football. dlip came on the LL board insulting and taking pot shots at SRT and anything to do with RPI and anything that was not completely in favor of Union. It was then, after a few days of being a complete asshole, dlip realized that these boards are very meaningful and sacred to many of us. So let's maybe cut Charles a break and ignore him until he stops being a ****ing asshole and realizes that he is meaningless on here unless he brings some meaningful, legitimate talk to the boards. If he does that, than we welcome him and would be glad to look at what Endicott has accomplished thus far and what is possibly to come from them.

I'm sure you'll be passionately bringing up the Curry-Ithaca game five years from now too.

saying kids suck is wrong, please refrain from calling our student athletes, perhaps on this board you may think that you're something special but to call out student athletes is rude  and wrong.

Chuck, He called out the league, not the student athletes. Big difference. Team are fine as well. When people identify individual kids, and take shots at them, that's where I draw the line.

He actually did not do that.

SOS came out.  It's early and will change over the season, but with so many people still giving weight to last year, I thought it'd be interesting to line this up against people's thoughts and/or voting on this poll for the season to date.  No consideration for home/away, which matters of course, and I used a dummy for all teams in the NEFC and ECFC because I haven't fully figured out who's in which and will do so when I need to.  Check out Widener (who I just put in my poll for this week here and maybe am now regretting).

Dude, you are out of your mind.  I'm actually pulling for the NEFC to improve.  I DO have indirect ties to Endicott and I root for them each week..  But when some clown like you comes on here saying that they should be respected nationally and will be in Salem before we know it...well, I have to draw a line somewhere. 

I don't call out specific players and wouldn't do that.  And i'm not biased either.  I'm realistic.  And i'm more than willing to say that other than Hobart, the LL is a sucky league right now too. 

However, I AM something special.

[Frank Rossi]

PA - Remember that Widener's OWP will trend much closer to .500 since MAC teams have to play so many other MAC teams in that stuffed conference.  Must be an anomaly in that they haven't played the real strength of the conference yet (except for Lycoming).  That said, their OOC competition has a total of 1 win this year (Moravian and Thiel), so Widener will likely have an SoS below most other MAC teams at the end of the season.
