Villanova @ Colgate

[gofurman]

That’s a good stat if you are a Colgate fan. Villanova is something like 37-4 vs. Patriot teams since 2000. I like that stat better.

trends are trends for a reason.. aren't they? LOL. just a heckle. couldn't resist. In fairness I think this year's COlgate team is NOT last year's Colgate team

good job to Villanova today.

I just finished up dinner at the Colgate Inn with the Mrs. I must say Colgate fans couldn’t have been more gracious in defeat. Classy. Good luck the rest of the way.

Long Island (formerly LIU-Post) is Division I-AA this season, and is playing in the NEC. (The same is true with Merrimack.)

For the record:

LIU is a full NEC member this season and they are playoff eligible.

Merrimack is reclassifying and is not eligible for the FCS playoffs until 2023.

Right - I think Long Island is eligible because some of the program’s teams (specifically those playing at LIU-Brooklyn) were already at the Division I level.

Is the Patriot League more open than we thought it would be?

Colgate definitely needs to step up their game if they're going to have any sort of success in the OOC. I was really surprised by how bad they were beat in the trenches. Their OL had no answer for the 'Nova front. Air Force at 7k will be quite the challenge! Don't want to be a paycheck pinata. At least they get a bye week before heading to Williamsburg to face the Tribe. The great thing about Colgate's schedule is it will leave no doubt how they measure up. Hunt needs to bring his staff "A" game. Raiders have been a bit up and down in his tenure. 2016 was a pretty big disappointment...

Seven Oaks was in great shape! Truly one of the great collegiate courses in the country. Pulled out my lightweight walking bag and hoofed the back 9...

Tried to upload a few pics but the the "pic insert" feature won't work....

I think most PL people knew it would be far more open. Colgate was darn good last year while everyone else was terrible (6 other teams sub .500). The Raiders were destined to take a step back. I figured fringe Top 25 to start the year was worthy. They'll struggle to finish over .500 if they don't right the ship in a hurry.

I really think Georgetown has a shot. They get Colgate in DC. The Hoyas have the type of schedule to build momentum like 'Gate did last year. I think Holy Cross is destined for a world of hurt before league play starts.

Can't get the pics to work by uploading them from my computer. Went the old copy and paste route. BTW, this is 2 Colgate games since my last Lehigh game....

That Plenty of nova fans comment is just piling on....really?

We actually had 250+ fans there. That’s a lot for Nova.
