That debate would have been terrific.

Checking in to say hello!

Best: Dick Biddle (1996-present), Andy Kerr (1929-46)

Worst: Ed Sweeney (1993-95), Fred Rice (1957-58)

I believe they would be competitive.

Congrats to UNI! Great work.

Yes. It would correct an error made many years ago by the PL.

Georgia Southern, Alabama, Penn State, Notre Dame. Those are uniforms. Elegant, understated, purposeful - classic!

Quick comment re: "Sacred Heart – 2 games (likely at Marist)" Not likely. Marist's dance card is full. Marist plays a full 8 game PFL schedule plus 3 OOC games. Those OOC games appear to be Lafayette, Bucknell, and Georgetown. So much for appearances! It would also appear that Marist's ge...

Yes, Princeton (the home town team), Lehigh and Fordham.

We added it about 5-6 years ago.

While this does not immediately impact football, what it says is that Associate Members are again welcome in the conference. Clearly, then, a new football member need not be an all-sports participant.

Just saw this on Facebook's PL page, trying to confirm.

Sounds like those youngsters have their priorities in order!

Grass. Dirt. Mud.

I knew it, I knew it. This is all a plot to merge the Ivy and the Patriot into the NESCAC. Oh, joy.

I just did again. I get a message marked "Internal Server Error" but it certainly does not seem to be my machine. Are you able to connect to it?

One can only hope it has come. I can't help thinking that the PL will do nothing, Marist will come aboard as an all-sports member (for all Marist's insistence about being a "basketball" school, its Men's BB team has one (1) win this year) and that will be the end of the story.

Did that board fold as well?

I don't believe "decimation" of the FCS by wholesale program departures is likely in light of the economy.

Colgate was founded in 1819 and fielded its first football team in 1890.

Marist would be a great pickup for the PL. I still don't understand why the PL didn't try and grab them as a football affiliate after the MAAC folded. Even if they didn't fully commit to the grant-in-aid model at the beginning, they probably wouldn't do any worse than Georegtown. I think it may hav...

I have heard this as well.

This was a continuing debate on the AGS board, so it makes sense to pick it up here. I don't know how many other PL posters have migrated here, however.

We can scratch one military from that list. Sparky Woods has canned the triple at VMI in favor of an as yet undefined "more balanced attack". Oh, great. They will end up like Army did when Rick Greenspan canned Bob Sutton and the 'bone in the late 1990's. West Point football has still not...

Let 'em in! I'm one of the old farts who thinks all conference champions should receive an automatic bid.

Nice to see that Dominic Randolph finished in the top 5.
