ECACs

[Upstate]

Pep, have you heard anything out of Mayberry about the status of Secky? Injury? Ineffectiveness? Throwing Kilcar a bone?

Well, while I have no insight into the situation, I can say that when the second string went in against Utica it was Sophomore Joe Enslin who was under center and not Secky (who was in uniform).  I suspect Secky is the backup in case Kilcarr gets injured, but nothing beyond that.

What was the nature of Secky's injury this year?  Was he / is he able to redshirt? 

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...

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.

Prior to the IC game, I saw Secky give Kilcar a semi-hug from the side as they were coming off the field in warmups, so it seems like he was in good spirits regardless. Says a lot about the kid, but I agree Upstate. To see a career like his ended on the bench is, well, odd.

Are you saying Alfredians are odd?!?  We resemble that remark!!!

Sorry if this question has been asked a million times on this thread. But I was wondering what the ECAC's are all about? Looks like there about a half a dozen or so games ECAC games Saturday.

I had no idea DIII football games continued on after the regular season outside of the playoffs.

I think it's pretty cool...

I view the games as rewards to teams that had decent seasons but did not make the playoffs.  Some schools disdain them, but not Alfred.  It's great to get an extra game!!

Cortland does the same.  It's great to have another game and to play a team that you normally wouldn't get to see.  I know the seniors always love one more game too!

Is this a tounrment between teams from certain conferences that didn't make the playoffs?

what does ECAC stand for? What conference participate it in?

The the Eastern College Athletic Conference.  The games are bowls modelled after the innumerable D1 bowls we see around Christmas and New Years.  An extra game for teams with a winning record.  Fun for the fans and the players, though sometimes teams don't show up for the game mentally.

...Yeh like when your QB gets his head almost taken off on 4th and the season going in at home by an NFL linebacker disguised as a d3 player wearing purple and gold and they are immediately relegated to an after thought ECAC game instead of a second straight trip to the NCAA play-offs...guesses anyone?

Is the ECAC just a make-shift conference consisting of teams that didn't make the playoffs from the E8 and ODAC?

what is ODAC, is that different than the UW-WISCONSIN?

Ok...after a closer look it looks like a team from the ODAC isn't a part of these ECAC games. But, rather it's just some games consisting of non-playoff teams from the MAC, PAC, NJAC, ECFC, E8 and NEFC...correct?

I first looked at the D3football site, and saw there is no official ECAC conference.

Think of it as the NIT...
