ECACs

[D3MAFAN]

Did they change the venue again?
Penn?

I think that is going to be the central location for the PAC, E8, and NJAC schools.

[fisheralum91]

which would be where?
cuz Philly is not an easy drive for most of the E8 rep, but im sure they would like the opportunity.


When picking teams- Fisher, Brockport and Utica are eligible

Do they all get nods?

I think with the NE schools playing among themselves (not in favor of it), this would be a good opportunity for the Top two East conferences along with some decent PAC teams to square off against each other. Hopefully the seedings are 1 v. 2 as oppose to 1 vs 8.

Yes, venue will be at Penn's Franklin Field. ECAC keeping things very hush-hush as far as teams who submitted bids which could mean they a) don't have any many as we think / they say or b) the teams that have submitted aren't as "good", i.e., have 9-1 type records as they have in prior years.

Either way, we should know in about 20 mins...

I was kind of wondering about this.  Given that my alma mater (Carnegie Mellon) has been a participant several times in the recent past (including a game that I played in 2007, one of the reasons perhaps that I am far more enthusiastic than many posters about the ECAC games; we have also played in 2012 and 2015) and sits at 7-3, I assumed that we likely submitted for an ECAC bid and yesterday went to check the website to see if there was a list.  Was a little disappointed that the list of declared teams is not posted, and had both of the thoughts you mentioned.

What happened to the CC-MAC challenge from last year (http://www.centennial.org/sports/fball/2015-16/releases/CC_MAC_Bowl) - are they doing that again?

It appears so based on this...

...which could also contribute to a low # of declared teams for ECAC games.

Agree and some awesome matchups as well. Wish the RAMS were part of this.

Wow, that Frostburg-Fisher game is one hell of a match up!  Well done to the ECAC getting those two together.

The 2 battle it out to see which one "shoulda" made the dance? 

[Upstate]

I actually like all of those match ups!

Fisher/Frostburgh should be a great game!

To answer a question posed below, the MAC-Centennial Bowl series is happening again. Delaware Valley travels to Muhlenberg and Albright hosts F&M.

Will pay attention to an ECAC game for the first time.

[fisheralum91]

I think the match-up is very intriguing.

Well played by the ECACs

Actually many of the games have peaked my interest...

Pep is persuaded that if 91 takes a peek at the peak, it will pique his interest, too!   

Where's Gatto?
