Eastern Collegiate Football Conference

In all seriousness Drosendahl is actually a pretty decent QB stats wise (63% completion rate, about 2000 pass yards, 24 TDs and only 6 INTs) and could give the 'Stangs a fighting chance depending on who they draw (assuming they don't get shipped to UMU).

He is a decent QB, but Mt. Ida hasn't clinched the title yet.  It could be a Casleton St./Mt. Ida championship game next week if both teams take care of business tomorrow.

I'll be honest, I'm one of those people who hates the ECFC and want them to lose every year, badly, in the playoffs, until they prove they're legitimate by beating someone from a quality conference. I make no bones about this.

This isn't personal toward any team, or player, or coach, all of whom I know work hard.

The ECFC is a collection of teams, none of whom had ANY history of being good (some of them didn't have histories, period) that now they has a Pool A bid. Of the 38 seasons ECFC teams played from 1999 to 2008, there were eight winning seasons, and 30 losing seasons. Their combined record was 109-229.

I know D3 is going toward conference play, and school location matters in things like this, but it irritates me that a handful of bad programs can form a conference and be given a Pool A bid. It just weakens the overall playoff field.

All you need to know about the quality of teams in the ECFC is in Norwich's record. The four years before joining the ECFC they were 1-23 in conference play. In the four years since they've gone 21-4. They were the undefeated ECFC champion last season and got taken to the woodshed by the last place team in the Empire 8. Both of the conference's NCAA trips were disasters. The Maritime-Alfred game was so out of hand in the first half, I felt bad for Maritime.

I don't have a high opinion of the conference, and I doubt I'm alone in that. Now, this won't be the case forever. Eventually, these teams will improve, and they will become more competitive nationally. And then they'll be treated differently. But until we've been given any evidence that the conference has improved, I wouldn't expect anyone to say anything different about them than what Yanks said.

My last post on this...

It wasn't Pg that I first posted about.  It was Yanks.  When he came on and asked why there weren't any Ida fans on here talking about how they're going to get the doors blown off.   That was the post I was talking about, and the poster I guess....


Anyways, Bash on!

lol

If someone can tell me a nicer way to describe SUNY-Maritime's 60-0 loss to Alfred and Norwich's 62-10 loss to Delaware Valley in the playoff's the last two years...while teams like a 9-1 Rowan, 9-2 Springfield, and 9-2 Fisher teams in 2010 and 9-2 Cortland and 9-2 Widener teams in 2011 all stay home...please let me know.

In all seriousness Drosendahl is actually a pretty decent QB stats wise (63% completion rate, about 2000 pass yards, 24 TDs and only 6 INTs) and could give the 'Stangs a fighting chance depending on who they draw (assuming they don't get shipped to UMU).

He is a decent QB, but Mt. Ida hasn't clinched the title yet.  It could be a Casleton St./Mt. Ida championship game next week if both teams take care of business tomorrow.

Actually, it will be anyway. Regardless of what happens on Saturday, the Week 11 game will be for the title because if they finish tied, one of them will win the head-to-head.

Is that the same Castleton St. that lost to Endicott 66-14 and to RPI 56-35?....  Playing for a playoff spot?....  Interesting...

Ah yes, I thought Galludet was still in it but even if they win their last two (including beating Mt. Ida), Casleton has the head to head to head and Mt. Ida would only have the one loss.

ESPN 8 "The Ocho" is going to have that game live.

Honestly to dlip one can't really argue with the Norwich example Bombers gave.

[ccrosby]

Bad news from the Spartans, their QB is out for the season.  Too bad he was a very good QB and ran an offense that really was good.

That's too bad.  I also heard he was a stud.  From the Albany area as well.
