What a very disappointing showing by the Rams this past weekend. The return really hurt the momentum and then turnovers and getting yourself in a deep whole. This team is not as talented or experienced enough to make comebacks like in previous years. I think the game will be a wake up call and hopefully knock some guys back down that are living on previous teams success. I thought they would make the jump, but obviously that didn't happen. On another note Bridgewater kept it interesting all the way to the end. They need to be more composed, felt they rushed to much and let the game slip away. Well lets get started with conference play, every team has a equal opportunity in making the playoff by winning the conference championship.

I'm surprised Fitch couldn't finally get one over on Fram St but the Rams are the champs until proven otherwise. Not sure if Bridgewater St can dethrone them either given their struggles vs. Curry (the purple drank may be better than we thank).

Yes, this would have been the year, but I think there is still a talent gap in certain areas. Bridgewater St can surprise teams regardless what record they have, I think they are going to play Framingham well this year. Regarding Curry, I pass on the purple drank as of now until I get to watch them a bit more.

Excellent video put on by Bridgewater St.

Wow very interesting year for the mascac. Framingham is not as dominant bridgewater started slow but now are turning it up Fitchburg could of had a run at it but hurt Qb ruined there chances UMD Plymouth and mma playing better then average football. West Conn should be tops of the league but have struggled all year and if they struggle this weekend could be in for a long rest of the season.

Very interesting year...I think that this year's champion will finish with at least two losses. Bridgewater is heating up a bit and looks on par with Framingham State. Plymouth losing to Westfield in OT last week really dampened next weeks matchup with Bridgewater. However, Bridgewater has to focus on UMD, which is feeling good after taking down Framingham last week. I think this week will be a good test on how UMD can play with the target on their back, but will be tough playing Bridgewater at home at night.

What a weekend with the weather around the region, got to see some teams show some spunk and survive against solid opponents. I think this conference race will not be settled until November. I think the conference is more balance this year. Bridgewater is looking good right now, they could easily be 6-0. Not sure if any of the teams are on par with FSU's past two teams though, we shall see.

Watched an awesome game between Bridgewater and Ply State, the game could of went either way. Bridgewater is now in the driver seat. If they win out, they are the MASCAC champion. We have another key matchup with Framingham State vs. Ply State and Bridgewater can't overlook Westfield thinking about Framingham State in a couple weeks. I think Ply State will be a little bit exhausted and down this week and with the Rams coming off a bye week should be in good shape.

D3MAFAN · October 23, 2016, 12:36:10 PM

Bye week worked well the Rams as they they came up with some creative plays, especially that 3 and long reverse that eventually led to a TD before half. Although the weather was not great, was impressed with the balance in the conditions and defensively they were able to get off the field which is a good sign. I do think Ply State had a little layover from their last weeks match-up with Bridgewater. Now Bridgewater gets a bye-week to prepare for the Rams as they appear to be on the rise.

Some big games this weekend for teams in the MASCAC, Western Conn takes on UMD, I am sure UMD will be ready and not take anything for granted, they still have a chance to win conference. Western Conn has played everyone tough in all of its 5 losses this season, what a great chance to spoil it for UMD and hopefully get to .500 for the season. The Rams are playing Maritime and if the rams carry forward that momentum from last week and continue to be balanced, they should win the game. I am also interested to see if Ply State can rebound after three straight losses after starting 4-0.

Big games in this region. Championship weekend Bridgewater Framingham. I feel like rams are starting to peak at the right time and The bears have the bye at the right time. I expect the Rams to pull this one out late.

I agree MASCAC. Although I didn't like this past weeks performance from the Rams, I think they may have been looking ahead and had to play all 4 quarter against Maritime at Maritime. I think the bye week for Bridgewater is huge, but they are facing the Rams at home which if I recall haven't loss a home conference game since 2010, which was to Maritime. I think the game comes down to third downs and whichever team limits the big momentum plays. I am looking forward to a great game from both teams.

We previewed the BSU vs FSU game with Matt Noonan on the back half of our podcast. Should be a good one.

MASCACAlum · October 31, 2016, 10:40:00 PM

Great podcast wondering if the Framingham Bridgewater game turns into a serious defensive battle. I was wrong thought Fitchburg had a shot at this championship who would of guessed UMD to be as strong as they are.
