East Region Fan Poll

[Jonny Utah]

I'm curious as to whether any of the "fan pollsters" will see any NESCAC games this year. There is clearly a bias against NESCAC teams because they don't compete against out of conference opponents (to be clear I'm NOT saying there is anything wrong with this... I don't want to start any fights on this topic again). 

Though, it seems that the NESCAC would be at a disadvatage in this polling process since we have no representation in voting and I assume very few (if any) voters will see a team in our league play a game.

Incidentally, if you are able to make a NESCAC game (more specifically a Trinity game) send me a message. I'll likely make 7 of the 8 Trinity games this year as I'm now working at the school and would enjoy a face to face with a fellow D3football.com poster.

Ill actually probaby see a few maine games, and maybe a Tufts game if the games are there.

I actually debated Trinity and Williams in my preseason top ten.  I feel that both teams would probably do ok against the other top teams in the region, but they only play within conference and it is hard to judge since I know I most likely won't get a chance to see them play.

I thought they decided to leave the NESCAC out entirely.

I thought they decided to leave the NESCAC out entirely.

We did, but TGP did consider throwing in a "pre-season" pick for the NESCAC champ - basically just saying that TGP would pick Trinity (from TGP's hometown of Hahtfud, CT) would win back the title this season.

Unfortunately TGP's fall travel schedule doesn't have us back in New England until mid-late Nov, so TGP thinks the NESCAC season will be said and done by then.  However, if Hobart makes the playoffs (ECAC or NCAA), TGP will try and show up for that since TGP will be around the weekend of Nov. 17.

Hey All, a couple of early rankings have come in (plus my own!), but we are still awaiting a majority of the pollsters.

As I said there is no rush but for all pollsters I will be setting a deadline of next Wednesday, July 25th for the poll, giving us more than a month to debate the poll etc! 

Remember, Private Message me the poll. 

Thanks and Have fun!

Pep needs to update Upstate on a few things from Mayberry:

Old West Food Co. should be in the Top Ten...great place to tip a few while watching the Yankees in their second-half-of-the-season resurgence.

The Klan...aka Klan Alpine is sitting empty. Pep went to a Halloween Party or two there as a lad. (No, that's not where Pep had his first beer.)

Shurfine Food Mart has long since closed and has been replaced by Dollar General.

Tinkertown should be moved up to at least 4....that's where Pep lives!

Alfred Station, formerly known as Baker's Bridge, WAS Alfred's train station but only freight trains whisk by nowadays.

You've nailed everything else, Upstate.

P.S. Alfred's DP Dough is history, Main Street Video is closed....any aspiring entrepreneur's want to go into business in downtown? Pep can get you decent ad rates with the Alfred Sun!
