Humblest as well.
Perhaps they decided to spend the season atoning for the smallpox blankets?
Happy Indigenous Peoples Day to all.

So is anyone willing to hazard a guess as to what the pecking order will be in 2022?

Love it - only in the NESCAC could 25 be achieved that way, with three missed extra points!!
6 x 4 = 24. 24 + 1 Extra Point = 25

In a very commendable show of total class following the handshake line most of the Colby players walked over to QB Costa who was immobilized on the sidelines and individually shook hands and offered their respect. They knew if the kid was around the second half the result may very well have been different.
Good luck to the Mules against the Black and White but they've got a problem to deal with in between in the person of a re emergent Tufts team.

I spent Sunday at Gillette with Polar Kitten and the Bob Cub watching to see if a certain illustrious NESCAC scion (Mullet Boy) would make any intriguing facial contortions. Much more interesting to me than the question of where the stripes belong on the uniform, or what cheers were popular with slutty townie girls who were pressed into service as NESCAC cheerleaders in the 19th century.
Where is Polarcat on this conversation- he'd make a satirical killing with this. As he approaches last call I think we might hear from him.

The best one to me is Daddy Warbucks saying the Colby football program has disrupted sonny boys sleep schedule. I can't stop laughing at that one.

SPOILER ALERT You're new here, so sorry to burst your bubble, but this is what we do. We haven't really gotten into coach bashing yet, but it's only a matter of time. We'll have a drive by shooting by guys from the Liberty League or Empire 8 Board, the traditional debate about uniforms, mascots, and who has the worst President in the 'CAC. Almost certainly a debate about whether punters and kickers are indeed football players. Someone will bring up the list of former CAC players who went on to play in the NFL or CFL (it's a short list) and we will take sides.
Johnny Utes will come up with a sly observation that will make us all smile and go "Whoa! Johnny can still bring it!" If we are lucky, an ex coach will stop by, take exception to something one of us said, and wave his penis in our collective faces. Homage will be paid to Darp, and we will keep track of HCOF Kelton's progress in D1.
In mid-November the ritual lamenting about playoffs and post-season play will ensue. We may no longer marvel at the novelty of night games, but I hope not. Tweaking the nose of Trin 7-2 and sh*tting on the Obnoxious New Guy (the name and persona change each year, but he appears every year in some new guise, often a parent from Joisey who is not-so-subtly boasting about his kid, and upset that the coach can't see he's the best player in the history of the conference), and some older guy who tries to match the venom (often Jumpshot but not always). We love to see that amh63 is still walking this earth, and more sprightly and coherent than our POTUS. (If you didn't know, amh was one of Lord Jeffrey's original crew, who handed out the blankets to the Indigenous Peoples).
This board is like that sofa in your mom's house where you watched the Macy's parade before the big feast every Turkey Day. A little thread bare, a little stained, with who-knows-what prizes lurking in the cushions, but comfortable and homey AF.
This is us. It's what we do. Welcome.

Question off topic why does the NESCAC not expand football for playoffs or allow the teams to go into Division 3 playoffs. Seems odd that they play nine games and thats it. I know they are trying to follow the Ivy league model. But as times change in this crazy world so should these football rules. You know Coaches and players would be for it. I mean D2 schools even play 10 games for regular season. I just think 9 is way to small a season versus what other leagues play collegiately. This small amount of play has to change or playoffs should be the NESCAC needs more games

Also, can we take a minute to acknowledge how absurd Spencer Fetter has been?
He also has one of the sweetest 'staches in the NESCAC!
