Re: THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE

Tough ending for Nova & the Big East, well except for Xavier I guess who is still playing. NC State was a good team - I saw them destroy Duke in Raleigh this winter. They'll miss Hilliard & Pinkston, otherwise all back right? Yes, Hilliard and Pinkston are gone. Nova will be good again next...

Re: THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE

The Center officially seats 20,318 for NBA and NCAA basketball. Georgetown game was a sellout at 20,587 St. John's 19,161 Syracuse 18,369 Marwquette 13, 313 I think it is very telling about the health of the current Big East that both the G'Town and St John's games sold more than the Syracuse game....

Re: Playoff Selection Show???

There were 7 fumbles in the game and JMU recovered them all from my recollection. i think i have this one on tape. I'll take another look, but that was my count when I was at the game. JMU had 2 turnovers VU had 3 turnovers JMU +1 in that matchup... :thumb: I guess you must have missed the game. It...

Re: Flacco Bowl

Just can not stop Pitt's running game. Very strong, and unfortunate for the Hens. Hopefully they can get -something- going in the second half. 27 Total yards to Pitt's 322.

Re: CAA is back!

So in this year's playoffs, the CAA did not lose to any team that isn't another CAA team or NDSU. Is it obvious now? No other conference matches the depth of talented teams that the CAA has. :nod:

Re: New Hampshire at Maine

And don't think nova's performance was anything special: 23 points in ~8 minutes isn't special? Name one other team in the FCS this year that managed a comeback of that magnitude with that little time left. The only point you're making is that the Delaware defense is terrible. Villanova and Roberts...

Re: New Hampshire at Maine

What's the chances Maine turns things around from a couple weeks ago? I would say pretty high. Maine didn't have all that much to play for that week as they had already clinched the CAA title. Also, playing UNH is -very- different when they are not at home! The 2009 VU team (FCS Champions) lost @UN...

Re: ESPN Petition

I actually like ESPN3 because it gives access to games that otherwise would not be televised, but it has it's nuances.

Re: CAA Announces All CAA Honors

Im going to guess it came down to Senior > Sophomore . . . That's what I figured, and Wasilewski's efforts led Maine to the playoff team that they are. Robertson has two more years to rake in the honors, and he will. The stats might not show it, but Robertson can definitely throw the ball too. VU's...

Re: 2014 Schedules

I wouldn't chalk up Nova at Syracuse as an auto-loss quite yet. It'll be tough, and there's a good likelihood that the Orange will win, but they're no LSU. I can easily see Nova winning that game.... Definitely. We did give Boston College (who is favored against Syracuse on Saturday) a good game th...

good for nova, but i was saddened to see Robertson didn't go over 200 rushing yards. Oh well, better luck next year. At least Nova's kicker can make a field goal. Hamilton has been very solid. I'm not sure he missed any FGs all season. What a way to end a college career! Well, while I can think of ...

Re: CAA Power Rankings

It probably sounds ridiculous at this point, but both NH and Villanova would be in much better shape at NH(7-4) and Villanova(6-5) right now. Not playing the 12th game really hurts. The Tribe got snubbed in 2008 at 7-4. The committee took Maine at 8-4 that year. The Tribe lost its last game in over...
