so pretty much...BEAT THE BLUE DEVILS, YOU CRACK THE TOP 25 AND PROBABLY #2 IN THE MID-MAJOR.

 

SATURDAY WILL BE THE BIGGEST CONFERENCE GAME EVER!

[danefan]

We kind of got shafted in the SportsNetwork poll. We just beat the 11 team in country and don't get any love, while Delaware only drops to 18?

We did get alot of love if it wasn't for the Fordham loss then we would be in the top 25. In any event the game next week should be the game of the week.

[GreatDanes06]

side notes - CCS should be mid-major #1

 

we should have gotten a little more votes, but if you beat CCS, i think the pollsters cant ignore you any longer. At this point, to see our names on the list, you gotta be happy.

 

Winner next week to me goes/stays in the top 25, gets the mid-major #1 ranking, and the favorite to win the NEC title

 

WHEN THE HECK WAS THE LAST TIME A FOOTBALL GAME WAS WORTH THAT MUCH 4 GAMES IN...HELL, LET ALONE AT ALL?

[B9j2j6s]

Well who amoung us thought we would win on Saturday, I was hoping for a similiar score that Stony Brook had against Hofstra I was shocked that we won. Most people are still in a little bit of shock.

Can anyone tell me how many scholarships UA is allowed to give out? From what I can gather they are increasing the number they are giving out, is there a cap? Who sets the cap the NEC? What is stopping them from being a full scholarship program?

There is a cap by the NEC. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think its 30. Right now only 8 have been given out, but split amongst 20 players.

 

What is stopping us from being full scholly is our league contract and the want to not rush into anything. I think by 2009 we will be full scholly, maybe even earlier if the America East football conference comes to fruition as we have been hearing.

It is about where I put Delaware in the AGS...i had them at 20 i think. Had CCSU at 24 and the Danes at 25.

I agree with putting Delaware at 20 if you put Albany at 25....but not if you have Albany at 40 or so like the TSN has them.

=============

 

I quit voting in the SNW "mid-major" poll when the NEC went schollie. DH is not a poll.

...DH is not a poll.

No disrespect to Don, we live about 45 minutes away from each other and converse regularly.

Agreed. Its not a poll. It's Don's opinion, but I still like to take it into consideration.

 

Thanks for posting the AGS and CSN polls.
