Subject: NESCAC - Week 4
4 – 1 last week. 13 – 2 on the season. Picking these games is so easy … like Andy Reid picking his nose.
Master
@ Hippy-Hippy Shake -5 (40)
Notes – we keep waiting for The Cardinal’s speedy offense to have a breakout game & dominate someone. They lost to an excellent Middlebury club by 3 then turned around and struggled to beat Alexander Hamilton and Colbie Caillat. Them Kitties keep losing, but they keep on covering. Making dollar-dollar bills, y’all!
Pick – Take them Kitties again & watch them cover again. Hell, maybe they even win outright. Dare to dream.
Jeffrey
@ Colbie Caillat +21 (40)
Notes – Amherst keeps rolling. Colby … well, just … right.
Pick – Take the Jeff-Bags, lay the points and hammer that over.
Willy Loman
@ Club Midd. – 6.5 (35)
Notes – surprising result for The Panthers last week on the road at Amherst … back in the friendly confines of Youngman Field at Alumni Stadium will do them good. Williams can’t seem to find their ass with both hands.
Pick – Take the Panthers at home.
Camp Trin-Trin
@ The U. +10 (39)
Notes – In case you missed it, Camp Trin-Trin beat Ham. Tech last week by the score of 29 – 4. Gee! That’s an unusual score. How unusual is it you ax? There have been 15,463 NFL games since 1920. (Yes, we are comparing the NESCAC to the NFL.) Only one of those 15,463 games ended with a team scoring just four points. It was in 1923 when the Racine Legion defeated the Chicago Cardinals 10-4. As you will recall for that game, our great grand pappy told his readers to take the Legion and the points as they were getting 7. WINNING – it’s a family tradition.
Both Trinity & Tufts come into this game at 3 – 0 but have arrived in vastly different ways. Elephants won 2 squeakers on the road to start the season (24-21 OT v. Ham Tech; 17-16 v. Bates) then hung 43 points on Bowdoin in their home opener last week. Meanwhile, Chicken D has yet to give up a point while the offense is averaging 29 points per game.
Pick – Take the Chickens, give the points and watch them lay another defensive egg on the Elephant’s side of the scoreboard. It’s statistically unlikely that they will record another shutout, but we’ve been dying to use the egg laying imagery.
Hamilton
@ Bowdoin +6 (41)
Notes – This one is The Battle to Move Out of Your Parent’s Basement … winner of this tilt improves to 1 – 3 and keeps the dream alive of a winning record for the season. #JK! #LOL #SMH #HASHTAG #ECAD
Pick – Take The Conties … they will record 10 safeties, block & return several PATs for 2 points each. Gonna be a zany one up Brunswick way.
Conn College
@ Boston University

With that written, we went 5 – 0 last week. Brings us to 9 – 1 on the year, so we are actually writing this week’s missive from our private beach in front of our new Nantucket HQ … Ah, Jeez … I wish you could see this. Light’s coming up. I’ve never seen a painting that captures the beauty of the ocean at a moment like this. I’m gonna make you rich, Bud Fox. Yeah. Rich enough, you can afford a girl like Darien. This is your wake-up call, pal. Go to work.
[Editor’s Note: Darryl Hannah wildly overrated on many levels]
And now to this week’s picks…
The Bow-Wows
@ The Only University in a Conference Where the First ‘C’ Stand for College -13 (39)
Notes – Homecoming at the Ellis Oval, so Powder House Square will be rocking! Get those signs ready for the background shots on the set of College Game Day. “JUMBOS NEED LOVE, TOO!” “BROWN IS THE NEW BLUE” “ON THE BASS, DEREK SMALLS…HE WROTE THIS”
Pick – We like the Jumbos at home and the under as the P-Bears are struggling to put points on the board.
Mule Meat
@ House of Cards -14 (38)
Notes – Cards have tended to play to the level of the competition so far this season, but that trend stops this weekend. Their overall team speed will prove too much for the Mules.
Pick – Take WES and the over…little bit of swagger at home and rumors swirling that their most famous hooded alumnus will be there to watch
Kitties
@ Ephs -5 (35)
Notes – last week’s Steven C. Bucci Bobble Head give away turned ugly when those souvenirs were hurled at Jumbos players as they exited the field … Bates was getting 7 at home … we warned you. When a kitty is actually a dog at home, they don’t lose. Clear? Crystal.
Pick – these Kitties know how to cover the spread, so we like them on the road. Something just ain’t right about the Ephs.
Ham. Tech
@ The College of Knowledge -16.5 (39)
Notes – some of our best friends are Conties, so we have to tread lightly here. This could be a tricky one for the Buff & Blue. Chickens have not allowed a point in this young season. Geez Louise, guys. This won’t be good. We’re sorry.
Pick – Gotta pick the Gamecocks here and the under. Feels like the Civil War to us this game does…brothers fighting brothers.
Midds
@ Bags -6.5 (46)
Notes – Big game…NESCAC Game of the Week … 2 high powered offenses … great uniforms on those Panthers especially the helmets. That’s how you break down a game, people. Also, a panther would like totally track down and maul the sh.t out of a lord… especially one named Jeff wearing a tricorn and a puffy shirt and the small pox in the blankets. However …
Pick – take the Bags at home and the over … this will be a track meet and could go to OT. Final will be like 103 – 100.
And Conn College, of course, has a bye week …

Subject: NESCAC - Week 1
The long NESCAC Football offseason is over at last, and the shockingly short “on-season” begins this weekend. Buckle your chapeaux for 8 whole weeks of football. This author’s high school team is already 3 – 0 (plus a scrimmage) with a big game this weekend versus Father Judge. If you’d also like to receive our Philadelphia Inter-Academic League football write-ups let us know.
Before we get to this week’s game, let’s take care of some housekeeping / news & notes…
HOUSEKEEPING / NEWS & NOTES
· Frankly, it was tough to sit down to write this after learning (Tip O’ Cap to N.D. for the find) about this website: http://nothingbutnescac.com/ We felt like James Carville in Old School after Will Ferrell’s character goes unconscious and then wins the debate. “Oh… It... We… have no response. That was perfect.” If you’re looking for actual analysis then go to their site. It’s well done. We’ll do our best to take the lighter side with our silly little emails, but that site is groovy. They also write about NESCAC baseball and basketball … would love to see them add hockey. Anybody know who won the National Championship in hockey last year?
· With that written, please recall that your NESCAC Nostradamus went 17 – 12 – 1 with our picks last year. There were no picks in Week 1, and we forget (read: don’t care) what happened in Week 8. [Editor’s note: we just checked … we went 4 – 1 in Week 8, so 21 – 13 – 1 for the season. That’s batting .600 which puts you in Cooperstown even if you don’t play baseball. R.I.P. Yogi Berra]
· Former Bantam O-Lineman J.B.Wells ’91 is the new head coach at Bowdoin. J.B. and Richie Mancini once hit me so hard at practice that I saw Farrah Fawcett. It was a vision of her famouos poster … she’s in the red one piece sitting in front of some sort of striped tapestry … big smile … man, I loved running the opposition’s defense every week. Why did I only “play” for one season? Anyhooo … Congratulations to J.B.! Don’t be afraid to send us a copy of the Bowdoin playbook.
· Finally, let’s recall the ground rules – this is a joke email. All you hyper-sensitive, limousine liberal, politically correct nerds can go sh.t in your respective hats. Also, the lines and over/under are completely fictitious, so this entire thing is a massive farce. Get it? Got it? Good. Entertainment value only.
· As always, keep your head up, knees bent, play fast, have fun! LET’S GO BANTAMS!
WEEK 1 GAMES
Conn. College
@ The Library
Notes: … aaaaah – haaaaa … you don’t have football.
Pick: your nose.
Middlebury
@ Wesleyan -3 (36)
Notes: Last year, Wesleyan took their smog-belching VW Microbus on the road to Middlebury and upset the Panthers and their home opener. Big Blue will be looking to return the favor in Middletown. Early kick-off for this game…12:30 p.m., so please plan accordingly.
Pick: Take the Panthers, the points, and the over … this one will be a track meet with lots of gluten free, organic, PETA-approved tofu snacks available after the game.
Amherst
@ Bates +6 (20)
Notes: order some extra kitty litter for the Lewiston Litter Box…Jeffs are going to leave a big one.
Pick: Take the Jeffs & the over, give the points … their quest for back-back titles begins here. Ugh.
Williams
@ Bowdoin -6.5 (36)
Notes: The Purple Helmets put the wood to the P-Bears at home last year with a 36-0 whitewashing, but it was downhill from there for The Ephs. Things are not right in the top left corner of the Commonwelth. It just doesn’t feel right, but it does feel good. That’s the punchline to a joke. Figure it our for yourselves.
Pick: Take the P-Bears & the under … with a Rooster now running things in Brunswick they will … turn the beat around … (love to hear percussion) … turn it upside down … turn the beat around … good luck getting that Gloria Estefan jam out of your skull. Or maybe this one: Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga / I know you can’t control yourself any longer / Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga. So good. We prefer Gloria on her own without that pesky Miami Soundmachine cramping her style. Who’s with me on that, man? Yeah, totally, right?
Hartford State
@ Colby +10 (39)
Notes: Bants were 5 – 0 at one point last season and ended up 5 – 3. Somebody has to pay for that. The expression “I’m going to beat you like a rented mule” applies here.
Pick: Take The Angry Chickens, the under, and give the points and. Colby won’t score, and the J.V. will mop up for the visitors thus a low scoring affair.
Tufts
@ Ham. Tech +6.5 (40)
Notes: nothing small or collegiate about Tufts Universtiy … enrollment is 10,000+ … maybe time to move to the SEC, pals … or form the NEMSUAC.
Pick: We like The Conties of Ham. Tech. here. It’s such a long ride from Meff-aah, MA to Clint-enn, NY. The legs are rubbery just thinking about that drive + the smell of that bus. Gross.
Enjoy the games!

Subject: NESCAC Week 2
The NESCAC Nostradamus got off to a gaudy 4 – 1 start with the obvious highlight being the prediction of the Hartford State shutout of Los Burros Blancos. We also won $13 on NESCAC DraftKings … couldn’t actually get the money back from them since it was under $20 so proceeded to lose it on Filipino jaiaila … too bad DraftKings aren’t doing more advertising.
And now, this week’s picks…
Bowdoin
@ Amherst -14 (34)
Notes – We can already see the Sunday morning headline in The Daily Jeff, “Pompous Purple Pansies Pound Polar Bears in Prolific Precipitation” Pffft!
Pick – Take Amherst, give the points and the under … most of this weekend’s games will be sloppy, low scoring affairs … but ain’t they all?
Whacky Tobacconists
@ Ham. Tech +7 (29)
Notes – This is Ham. Tech’s season opener, so both fans will be in full throat. One of my NESCAC Insiders says “The Cardinal is wicked fast this year, bro, and they’ve got a stud sophomore tight end” … so we expect a lot of passing plays unless they decide to run the ball more.
Pick – Take them Cards and the over as they gave an excellent Middlebury club all they could handle last week. This one could get “ugly early” which seems appropriate for a Ham. Tech home game.
Colby +19
@ Middlebury (34)
Notes – The Panthers home opener should be a runaway … their new field house looks like an indoor NFL practice facility & they will look like an NFL team against the Mules who could score but maybe not.
Pick – Take the Midds, lay the points and hot box the over. *ALERT* to all undersized freshman – make sure you’re wearing your cup and mouth guard ‘cause you gonna play, son. Ah those were the days … send in the mops!
Tufts
@ Bates +7 (38)
Notes – The Jumbos won an OT thriller in Clinton last week. They jumped out to a 21 – 0 halftime lead only to watch the hapless Conties come all the way back to force OT. The Brown and Blue (Ewww! Gross!) eked out a win with a field goal, and they will take their circus on the road one more time as they visit the Kitties of Lewiston. Always tough to travel into The Iron Triangle of Maine especially when the Kitties have some explosive talent at RB. Gotta contain the run to beat the Cats this year. It’s also Back-to-Bates Weekend, so all fans 12 & under will receive a free Steven C. Bucci Commemorative Bobble Head Doll. Get there early kids!
Pick – this is like taking candy from a Conn College football player …
ALWAYS take The Masters when they’re a home ‘dog, Dawg!
Williams
@ Hartford State -10 (24)
Notes – This game used to be your de facto NESCAC Championship game …. “But Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Bluto! We don’t wanna go with you. Oh yeah? Well from now on, you can just kiss my ###!” But I digress … As a Wise Williams Alumnus wrote late last season, “If we don’t run the table, it is time to polish some resumes.” Oh my!
Pick – Take the Chickens in The Coop and the over … Sadly, the Bants will probably render a few points after last weekend’s shutout. Oh well…can’t go 8-0 and unscored upon … OR CAN WE???!!!
