East Region Fan Poll

[HSCTiger74]

1. Wesley
2. Hobart
3. Delaware Valley

--- or is Wesley still a member of the South Region?

Virtually all conferences are all members of the same region - I would assume that joining the NJAC has moved Wesley to the East (which is probably where Delaware belonged anyway).

Agree that that is where Delaware belonged. Salisbury is a good ways south of Wesley and has been considered a part of the east since at least joining the Empire 8.

   Until joining the E8 Salisbury was a South Region team; conference affiliation trumps geography. In fact, if I remember correctly, the year they joined the conference they were receiving votes in both regional fan polls. If the Gulls ever leave the E8 I suspect they'll return to the South (unless they are leaving to join the NJAC).
   As far as the Wesley/Delaware question, I can only assume that they were in the South for the same reason that the Centennial is ... too many D3 teams already in the East and a need to balance the regions.

Salisbury has already joined the NJAC for 2015 along with Christopher Newport and Frostburg State.

I have a lot to learn...not only a new conference this year, but also an entire new region. Yikes!!

I GOTTA hear a Joyzy accent with a Southern drawl (How does 'y'all' translate to Joyzy?)

[jknezek]

I gew up in NJ, school in VA, and have lived in AL for 6.5 years. Fortunately I grew up in Central NJ so never picked up the heavy accent and I've avoided the southern accent. But it would be pretty funny.

Unless Del Val has reloaded to the point that JM Cozenlaw had alluded to late last year (doubtful) , I wouldn't put Del Val anywhere near the top 3.  I'm sure Rowan or Montclair may have a say near the top as well

BMan has it exactly right.

To put the Aggies' graduation losses in context, Del Val's offense loses a four-year starter at QB who received a CFL free agent deal; a three-year starter at WR who received an NFL free agent deal, and the only RB in school history to earn All-American honors.

Coach Grecco's a really good recruiter but Del Val is basically starting over on offense.

Hard to find out much information, but here goes for a 1st time thought for the East Regional Fan Poll :

1.     Wesley
2.     Hobart
3.     Fisher
4.     Lycoming
5.     Widner
6.     Del Val
7.     Montclair
8.     Salisbury
9.     Rowan
10A. CNU   
10B. MIT

What's stunning about this list is that the two-time E8 champs aren't on it...and I don't even disagree with that (although I think they'd beat at least two teams on this list)

No way is MIT on there ahead of Ithaca. And the Bombers manhandled Salisbury, 32-7 on the seven-inch length grass at Butterfield last year. Heck, even Alfred, which finished 3-5 in the Empire 8, defeated Salisbury last year IN MARYLAND. Not sure what the love affair is with the Seagulls. This poll seems a bit Joisey heavy, if you ask Pep.....but then no one asked Pep, did they?

On Saxon Warriors!
