Maine Monmouth VMI Temple Lehigh URI Merrimack Buffalo - Hoping I'm wrong and do think we have a puncher's chance if most things go right but a middle of the pack MAC team is not a bottom of the barrel FBS independent.

Indeed, this game will be a test of how far our program has progressed as the bar we are being measured against is higher. But, Buffalo is not BC of a few years back; or Syracuse; or Navy. But definitely higher than UConn last season.
Should we pull this off, my hope is that we don't exhale in subsequent games because many of our opponents on the remaining schedule are hardly gimmes.

Maine - long bus ride after x-c plane trip - 'gate will be flat Fordham - big game for 2nd best team in PL VMI - altho last week's Buck score surprised me Temple - no comment nec - Laf QB threw for 8 yds with 2 ints last week Lehigh - QB Perri will be the difference Buffalo - but we're going to keep it close Merrimack - big step down in compet from HC URI - both teams were impressive last week

The only two I would be surprised if they went the other way are the Merrimack and Lafayette games.

Maine Fordham VMI Temple Lehigh Buffalo Merrimack URI The only two I would be surprised if they went the other way are the Merrimack and Lafayette games. Totally agree. One of the most interesting weeks of pickem we've had this early in the season. Even Merrimack-Assumption I think could be competitive if MU doesn't come to play. And Temple got blanked 30-0 by Duke so if Lafayette can find a way to put double digits on the scoreboard, that game COULD be competitive into the 2nd half. Temple lost to Fordham at some point in the last 10 years.

You last 4 or 5 posters realized you got your votes in after the election was over, right? Merrimack beat Assumption last night 45-17. Merrimack's next game is against Harvard, at Harvard naturally. Let's see how they do against them. Might be a good indication of how our game will go.

LOL, they love Friday night lights up there I guess.
Whoops, sorry I forgot to mark it on my special DII football calendar that I have hung up on my fridge.
And funny, Assumption must not have updated the 2022 results yet on their schedule because I clicked it and it said record "0-0". I looked up their 2021 schedule to get a gauge for how good they were last year -- they went 5-5.

Four prognosticators came out hot going 9-0 last weekend: rgs, jouts, efg and crucis. Each wins a ticket on the Niagara Falls tour-boat Maid of the Mist" this weekend. All games are Saturday this week with some interesting matchups. Saders looked mostly solid in our openah in a chippy affair. Looking to take a 2nd FBS scalp in as many years up in Buffalo this Saturday night. Week 2: Colgate @ Maine Fordham @ Monmouth Bucknell @ VMI Lafayette @ Temple Lehigh @ GTown URI @ Bryant Assumption @ Merrimack Holy Cross @ Buffalo According to '87 ... all games played today! "Back to the Future"!!! Maybe Assumption will lose....

Mr Commissioner: I can't imagine that any of these recent posters were "past posting" on the Merrimack game. Can we let their predictions stand?

Don't you think they'll fly Syracuse-Bangor? Maine should help with that cost as they have sandwiched Colgate between two guarantee games at New Mexico and BC, but I don't know what the protocol is.

Im about 95% sure Colgate bussed, though that's definitely 7-8 hours plus.
Having to make a connecting flight in Newark, LGA or Philly in all likelihood probably makes air travel almost as long of a travel day.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa....I thought for sure the Merrimack game was tonight (Sat).....I'll try to be more vigilant in the future....I don't think anyone had the Greyhounds to make the mattah moot anyway. Nice to see MC with a big W, makes our W there look bettah.

Having to make a connecting flight in Newark, LGA or Philly in all likelihood probably makes air travel almost as long of a travel day. As little as 3.35 hours via LaGuardia on Delta Connection but a charter might make more sense because commuter flights might not have enough room for a whole football team. Driving as close to as a crow flies between Hamilton and Bangor would make for great scenery as there isn't any more direct interstate highway route I can think of other than NY/MA turnpike and then right past Fitton Field on Rte. 290.
