ECACs

[Frank Rossi]

I'm sure if the ECAC asked and there was some interest the NCAA might listen.

The games end up costing money -- there's no real interest from the member schools.

Lebanon Valley and St. Vincent announced on Twitter they are playing each other in an ECAC game.

Are there any other ECAC match ups out there, yet?  I am curious if Endicott accepted a game...

Endicott will be playing Mt. Ida....
Pep would have liked his Saxons, so long as they're traveling to Massachusetts, to take on the Gulls, but instead, it will be a matchup with the Bears of Bridgewater State. AU spoiled the Bears' unbeaten season back in 1989 at Merrill Field in a 30-27 Saxon win. That was AU tailback Ray Rogers' final game as a Saxon and featured QB Lance Locey.

Pep remembers the Bears had an outstanding QB who also doubled as the team's placekicker and punter. The Saxons finished at 9-2 that season, losing a 35-31 barn-burner against Albany State and a 35-19 loss at Wagner (Staten Island) back when they were D3, having won the national championship in 1987.

On Saxon Warriors!

Another game in which Endicott can't prove anything. Not that we can take the results of a postseason exhibition game as gospel, mind you, but still, it would have been nice to see Endicott play up.

After all is said and done, was Union not eligible for an ECAC game?

Cortland's website announced they are hosting Albright in the Southeast Bowl this weekend.

[Upstate]

So how many matchups are there between NE teams & LL/E8/NJAC teams are there in the ECAC's?

Maybe Frank is on to something where the NE teams are ducking these conferences in regular & post season play.

I'm disappointed that Endicott got Mt. Ida.  I am planning on going to the game and would have liked to see a NY/NJ team.  Instead, they get a pop warner team that they will likely beat by 6-7 TDs, and as Pat said, will prove nothing.

[lewdogg11]

And is there really a need for 4 NEFC teams in the ECACs?  I remember when getting an ECAC game was something to be proud of.  Now you just seem to need little more than a winning record and a pulse.

[pg04]

Yeah, the matchups are less than impressive here.  Does Montclair not do ECAC ?  I may have missed that conversation

Agree. Not a knock on Albright but would have enjoyed a Cortland/Endicott game.

That would have made far too much sense.  Imagine how well they would have done when not excited?

They honestly finally got it correct about Cortland, though, based on the ECAC rules -- based on conference, Cortland is an ECAC South team.  You can see it in the list of teams that exists somewhere in the ECAC website.
