Quote from: ICAlum16 on December 11, 2025, 03:59:11 PMI am hearing that the winds of change are swirling on the South Hill of Ithaca, NY. I don't know anything for certain but I would not be shocked if by next week big changes are announced.

Toerper going to East Hill to be Swanstrom's new DC, I suppose.

I call this the St. Joseph's model, after SJLI and SJBK in the Skyline Conference.

I guess I understand it based on their unbelievable history, but what I find so repellent about the Mount Union fans (except for the late great MUC57 "go everybody!") is their utter joylessness.

None of them seem to even like football. They just want to see the opponent immediately liquefied, and if they're not up 40 by halftime they snarl and foam at the mouth.

Because the women's board doesn't get any posts...


Bard beat William Smith 62-49 tonight, the first LL win in women's basketball for the Raptors since 2013 and only their second all-time.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on November 28, 2025, 10:24:17 AMSpotted a pic of Anson Mount (aka Captain Pike in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds) wearing a pretty ratty Sewanee Tigers ball cap.  Is he an alumnus?

In other news, every member of the D3football.com panel picked HSU to win tomorrow's game, all by a TD or more.

Per Wikipedia yes he is.

LL just isn't very good hoops yet again. IMO Vassar will win the chip.

Quote from: Machiavelli on November 15, 2025, 04:17:06 PMSo in other news: Hartwick beat Hilbert 52-0. Let that sink in.

I wasn't involved in this conversation so much but my understanding was that Hilbert (and Buff State) were added because some LL teams were having difficult times finding OCC opponents.  So this is exactly what they wanted. 

Not sure Hilbert will at this pace but who knows. Its a Catholic School with unknown funding so maybe they will be ok in the long run but it is tough for "new" programs to build in the New England/NY area.  Trying to think offhand who these teams are?

Mt. Ida
Alfred State
Anna Maria
Caselton
Morrisville
UNE
Dean
New England College
Husson
University of New England (not to be confused with New England College)
Becker

I guess who am I to judge.  These are colleges who want to play d3football and that's a good thing.  Mt. Union and the OAC had a bunch of duds every year.  Never really stopped MUC.

Mount Ida and Becker both closed quite a while ago now.

TD RPI, 21-14 Union late 3rd.

Sure would like some RPI Magical  Bullsh*t right about now!

Bombers win the Jug!!

But unfortunately Union is up multiple possessions 

I'll be surprised if Hilbert is still open by the end of the decade.

Hearing reports that it's a great day to be a Bomber!!

so what happens if Ithaca beats RPI, Union beats Rochester, and RPI beats Union?

unbreakable 3-way tie at 6-1. Best NPI ranking gets AQ?

Oneonta knocks out Cortland on PKs in the SUNYAC semifinals, that's a bubble pop.

Quote from: stlawus on November 04, 2025, 03:27:30 PMWith today's result, SLU achieves their first 10 loss season since 1991.  In the 63 year history of the program, there had been only 4 double digit loss seasons until this year. But I'm sure I'll watch the next SC vid and hear all about how dramatic I'm being.

the own goal with 8 minutes left was a really poetic touch, I must admit.

Bombers win 24-7 up north. Good thing the defense appears to be very solid because this offense doesn't give them a ton of help.
