How about an Endicott/AU game FCOL?

I'd put money on AU beating them by 3 TDs even with Kilcar at QB if they met.

Kilcarr finally found his groove on saterday.  He was hitting receivers long and Alfred has only lost 2 turnovers in the past 3 games.  It would be fun to have seen what Alfred would have looked like if he ran the offense the whole year, but the season is what it was.  Chance for another 8-win season and then hoping that a certain local quarterback decides to matriculate to AU in the fall.

A-State? Hornell? Wellsville?

Spill it!

If you are talking about the QB east of Alfred that would be stupendous, but from what I have heard from some locals interested in that particular football team (if we're talking of the same one) is that QB is definitely D1 material.  I have not seen him play but that is what I'm told.  It is a wonderful thought though!!

I may be wrong but I don't think we've ever had an A-state footballer come over to AU.

We speak of the same individual.  From what I've heard he is certainly interested in going D1, however Secky was ranked to have D1 talent as well so it's not a huge stretch to dream again.  If it comes down to waiting 3 years for a shot at starting at the D1 level or being a 4-year starter at the local D3 school, the playing time could win out.  These are, more likely than not, the last four years of competitive football graduating high schoolers will have.  Here's to hoping he's wearing the purple and gold next year!

It was between AU/SJFC/Brockport/Cortland...

AU just didn't seem interested enough though...

Also Kaz, I am delighted that I am not the only AU fan who is already thinking about next season.  Some of my friends think(correctly) that I think about and talk a little too much AU football.  I would be delighted if the QB of whom we spoke stayed close to home.  On Saxon Warriors!!

What was the nature of Secky's injury this year?  Was he / is he able to redshirt?  He had a great year last year and was certainly impressive at Cortland.

Programs can certainly recruit and attract local talent.  Case in point with the Pitcher brothers from Cortland.  Dan had a stint with Colgate, it didn't work out and he came back to DIII and stayed local while his younger brother stayed local out of high school and Cortland is glad that they did.

Hope you land the recruit...did I understand the post though that Cortland was in the mix?

Unless it happened in practice or something I don't think he was injured, he certainly wasn't injured in the Salisbury game (6th game of season, 2 games beyond the deadline for redshirting) when he was yanked after throwing the ball at a Salisbury defender that ran him out of bounds and was called for unsportsmanlike conduct...

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

Anyone?

Here's what Frank said when I asked him:

OK Frank.... Union has not declared for the ECACs this year. I'm DYING to hear your reasoning.

I actually was part of the discussions regarding this.  Even if the ECAC North subregion were to allow for 4 games, it would be mathematically impossible for Union to make it into the ECACs this year.  There are too many E8, ECFC and NEFC teams with less than four losses -- and the ECACs generally follow a W/L record selection process.  There was no need to create administrative issues, and John Audino is part of the ECAC Committee -- meaning that he would've had to fall off the conference call for the entire time if Union were a candidate.

It's not like when Ithaca had two or three losses and chose not to take a game they would've been entitled to, Max.  Good try, though.  The standings are linked off the front page last time I checked.

So he got benched for the rest of the season? Or did Alfred just say "May as well see what Kilcarr has. He's given us 3 1/2 years, let's give him a shot"?

Pure speculation but they were just coming off their 2nd conference loss, and were for all intensive purposes out of the AQ, so it's a possibility. Maybe he got hurt in practice? Maybe he sprained his wrist when he threw the ball at the Salisbury defender? Who knows but it's very interesting to see his great career end like this.

Nope. You didn't. In answer to a post about AU not getting recruits from Alfred State, Upstate (an Alfred State grad) mentioned Cortland as being one of the schools he was considering when he finished his two years at Alfred State. Upstate said AU didn't show a lot of interest. TheOriginalUpstate landed at Fisher.

Always interesting how posts can be so easily misconstrued and taken out of context....when they are misconstrued and taken out of context.
