I never was banned and I have the right to come back. I wanted to get away from this board and start my own but was not allowed to. I will post my opinions and I am usually right. I do not tell you what to post and what not to post. If you do not like it . Thats not my problem

MENESCACFAN · November 04, 2014, 10:52:32 AM

Well let's see the real 11 when it comes out. We will see who is right the most out of 11.

A lot of people on here make some great predictions and can say they are "usually" right. Some of your opinion is subjective that can never be proved right or wrong. Look forward to tracking picks next fall, as we will see if you live up to that name.

Weak arguments against Bull. He isn't as great this year as last? That can't possibly be the barometer. All-star status is based on performance relative to this year's players, isn't it? Bull is a beast on defense and attack.

Also, the claim that Shapiro should get COY because of his team's #1 regular-season finish is an interesting argument, given Serpone was denied--TWICE--even though the same was true for his team in 2011 and 2012 (coin toss gave it to Williams). If Serpone was denied for his personality, are we okay with COY as a personality contest? What about for POY and all-stars? They should go to the nicest guys instead of the best players? Hm.

I never said that alot of people are wrong, I just say that I am usually right. I enjoy posters opinions and predictions and I also enjoy discussing them. Some posters I do not enjoy but that does not give me the right to say post this or do not post that. I have never nor would I ever demand people post a certain way.

I am not saying that is the right way to do this. However, it has been done is the reality of it. 2012 Amherst got screwed

I think Bull is the third best GK I have seen this fall. He has let in more goals than previous seasons, ranks 4th in GAA, and ranks and 9th in save percentage.

That is not a weak argument in any way, shape or form. He has not been the best GK in the league. You do not pick an All-NESCAC GK on attacking acumen, if so then the Bates guy has 3 assists, and he is not close.

MENESCAC, who are your two ahead of him? I would presume Greenwood- who else...?

Gotta be Sydor, right?

Seems to me that Sydor, Bull, and Greenwood were the top tier keepers this year.

MENESCACFAN · November 04, 2014, 11:20:20 AM

Sydor and Greenwood were best IMO in that order. I also thought Greenwood was excellent last fall.

PaulNewman · November 04, 2014, 11:22:35 AM

Pick whoever you want for All-NESCAC. When we do the fantasy league Bull will be my #1 GK pick and maybe even #1 pick overall.

Mr.Right, it would be interesting to know more about your background if you can divulge a little more while still maintaining your anonymity. You are often "right," and you obviously know your NESCAC and even a fair amount of non-NESCAC. I very much enjoy your participation at least 95% of the time. And you would be "right" even more often if you stayed focused on just that and avoided some of extracurricular jabbing.

Mr.Right · November 04, 2014, 11:23:59 AM

Greenwood gets the nod I think he is the most athletic and is a extremely tough kid. He might be an inch or two to short and that might come back to haunt Tufts later but he makes some incredible saves. I also think Alcorn for Williams steadily improved this year and you will see him as a legit keeper the next 2 years

Mr.Right · November 04, 2014, 11:25:30 AM

Ok I will try to not jab anymore but I have to admit it gets me out of bed in the morning. It gives me a rush sometimes that I thoroughly enjoy.

PaulNewman · November 04, 2014, 11:32:55 AM

Mr.Right, we all love a good jab now and again. Just defeats your purpose when and if it morphs into the apparent MO.

And Greenwood is fantastic. 3-4 more inches and would have made for a top-tier D1 GK.

Sydor is also very good, and how about the Bowdoin GK?

oldonionbag · November 04, 2014, 11:36:27 AM

Greenwood should and probably will be captain next year. I love his fire and his attitude. It's not often that a young GK can rally his troops so well- his leadership has impressed me the most. Additionally, he is GREAT off the line- at least three times during the Conn game he recognized a ball over the top would beat his centerbacks and cleared them well before they became dangerous.

MENESCACFAN · November 04, 2014, 11:40:49 AM

NCAC if anyone here is smart enough to create I would LOVE and even pay for a fantasy NESCAC league!

But come on, nobody picks a GK first in fantasy ;-)

Another great question. Next fall (so seniors gone). People top fantasy NESCAC pick and dark horse?

Mine is Conrad, goals mean points in that league. Knoth for dark horse.
