I think the top five in the East will be very competitive this season....

[Ship69]

Shows Ship near the bottom, yet that was a pretty competitive era for Ship football. The transfer portal has really changed the game....

[Ship69]

The Rock deserves credit for that one, but if I recall correctly Minnesota-Duluth had more than 400 yards rushing in that game, and they usually ain't...

[Ship69]

Well, actually when your region has seldom been remotely competitive in recent years, it does....

[Ship69]

Yeah, I don't know how anyone who has seen the results of the past few years could come up with a formula where Slippery Rock is No. 1 nationally....

[Ship69]

This makes that Cal-Seton Hill result look even stranger....

[Ship69]

That's putting it mildly. Looks like a Lock Haven score from the old days. As far as Lackawanna goes, I guess it's good to know that there's a team with...

[Ship69]

Some of the private schools are pretty clever about the way they do things. While there are some restrictions on the state schools, we could pick up a...

[Ship69]

Delusions of grandeur can catch up to you in a big way....

[Ship69]

If you're small on the DL, you might just have some trouble with ESU. Their o-line is huge. Fynn McDonald, their right tackle, might be one of the biggest...

[Ship69]

And private schools are funded directly by tuition and donations without state aid, which means most of them developed effective fundraising operations...

[Ship69]

At some point you have to put up some resistance. Ship was physically overmatched and made it even worse by not playing particularly well....
