East Region Fan Poll

[fisheralum91]

Softball,
Really- that is your argument?
Oh BTW Cortland has no u in its name....

[Frank Rossi]

The NEFC sucks!  Really.  Those are the words of someone who is responible to rate the east objectively.  This person should be removed.

Please note, last fall Endicott scored more points on SUNY Courtland then any other school has in years!

Allow me to say it in a different way:

The teams of the NEFC tend to underwhelm the rest of the East Region conferences, with the exception of the ECFC.  Therefore, NEFC teams, while able to show patches of excellence (i.e., Curry over Ithaca in the playoffs a couple seasons ago) are, as a conference, the weakest or second weakest of the East Region conferences.

That better?

*golf clap*

well stated Frank!

[AZDutchman]

Questions??

A little more detail on Salisbury and Frostburg. I don't see them in the Eastern Conferences?

Sasquatch was or still are in LL? I didn't see them either?

NEFC Bogan and Boyd? Just a matter of two different conferences?

Salisbury and Frostburg are new to the E8.  Technically they are South teams, but we are including them in this poll.

Susquehanna is gone.  Ignore them.

NEFC is 1 big conference with 2 Divisions.  Both suck.  Will be lucky to have 1 team in the poll all year.

I was just going to say, thanks for the input. Just next time, tell me what you really think.

To the others that followed...I appreciate your input also.

Dude, my history on these polls over the years is nothing short of spot on, so don't fool yourself into thinking I shouldn't be a part of it.  Not to mention i've been a part of these boards since their inception and have actually been following the D3 East Region prior to halftime of last year's Endicott/Cortland game.

If you want to play the stupid 'Who cares about the actual result?' game, Endicott scored 3 points against a mediocre RPI team who let up 42 points to Utica and 56 points to St. John Fisher, but RPI beat Alfred who was only down to Mount Union 10-7 with 8:54 left in the first quarter.  So that makes everything much more clear, yes?

Anyway, to piggy back on what Frank says, i'll ease up on my statement.  The ECFC sucks.  The NEFC isn't good.  If they prove otherwise, they will make the poll a la Curry 2008.  Otherwise, i'll stick to dropping knowledge.

PS - My favorite part of your post is 'The NEFC sucks!'  Not a question, a flat out statement!!!

Don't worry about softball, he's somehow related (father?) to a lineman on the Endicott team, so he's not the most objective...

Well stated, LD. Pep will vouch for the integrity of the East Region Fan Poll participants. And, all of the weekly polls are subject to peer review, which further authenticates it. One pollster gets out of line and starts acting like a homiehomer, the others call him out.

Just aside, LD, the Saxons got their TD in the second quarter against the Mount, to pull to within 10-7 before it got ugly.

And Frank's right, even if he can't take a joke.

When Kaz00 had to talk Pep off the ledge from doing his "spelling out Alfred cheer that ends with 'who's gonna win?!?'" while surrounded by season-ticket holding Purple Raider fans who considered us a cute, little group until the Saxons scored.  Thankfully, with Pep's exuberance restrained we were able to limit our humiliation to the final scoreboard...

C'mon Alfred guys.  You always have to curb expectations when you're faced with the following matchup:


Mount Union

Alfred

I was angry to read the word "suck" being used to identify a group of D3 football players.  However, the banter back and forth has been entertaning to read.

Also, the reach that "pg04" has made that I am related to a Endicott lineman, wow.  This will be my second post since I joined last november.  The kid is a senior, one of many at Endicott.  I used Endicott vs Cortland (no U) because they represented the NEFC last fall.  Yes, I am related to a NEFC (hope to play soon) player.

Iasmuch, as I would like to continue to write I must get back to work and look foward to a good D3 season.

Oh my.  More comparison time since Mayberry may have filtered out street slang from the campus.

"Homie" vs. "Homer"

I wasn't using the word 'suck' to identify players.  I used the word 'suck' to identify the teams of the NEFC.  Most of the teams have some good players.  But there haven't been many teams that have emerged from the NEFC as Regional Power over the last good amount of years.  Curry could compete, but I wouldn't even consider them a 'Regional Power'.  That reputation comes when every team in the East come playoff time hopes to get paired with the NEFC or the ECFC.

As an example, the Seattle Mariners baseball team sucks.  Felix Hernandez is very good.

That is actually the EXACT style of kazoo which the band uses, FWIW.

When one lives in a town with but one traffic light, it greatly diminishes the street talk that transpires. And here Pep thought he hit a homer with his homie. Pep's got a lot to learn....thank God for KaZ00 and his time served in Jersey...perhaps there's hope for Pep yet.

...which reminds Pep that we need to order another dozen...Pep's lower brass recruit of the same name has asked to play second kazoo rather than to struggle with the lower brass instruments that he hasn't played in a good long time. And, there's no telling how many kazoo players are in the record-breaking AU Class of 2015...Pep supposes a dozen kazoo players might even be heard.
