    Ah, FSC, me sister's Alma Mater.
    Have they finally won a game?
    
    Reminds me of that Bastion of Learning, Suffolk Univ. Me buddy played
    hockey fer the years ago, when they had a stellar (??!!) team. He
    remenbers the cheers when they took the ice ( So- F%ck U, So-F%ck U)

    What about RPI?  That perennial juggernaut?
    
    

�    Ah, FSC, me sister's Alma Mater.

	Believe it or not Mike, FSC actually won a couple of games
lasted year. I think it was at least two, and possibly three.

What about Furman in SC?

And that other wonderful institute of higher learning, Bob Jones U????

    Any PA noters have a Slippery Rock schedule?
    
    The Rock deserves its own note (only 1/2 :-))

    Didn't Bob Jones U close for lack of "live bodies"????

RE: Suffolk U.

My undergraduate alma mater, and undoubtedly one of the poorest excuses for 
an institute of higher learning in the Boston area.

When I was there the student body (except those of us  in the business school) 
had a 'strike'.   They marched around the admin building shouting "We're not 
through, Suffolk U", which naturally became "We're not through, so F*&K you!"

The school actually had a respectable div.3 hoop program for a number of years.
They would generally make the tournament, and attract some good HS players from
the nearby suburbs.  They went downhill when the coach of 30+ years, Charlie Law
passed on.

The Red Hat was the unofficial campus bar - Friday's at 11 am we would report,
blowing off PM classes, drink until about 6 PM, and then stumble onto the MBTA
trains to go home.

=Bob=

    Bob,
    	I was awonderin when you'd reply. My friend went there in the 60's
    and the So F#ck U chant was alive then. 
    At the Chapeau Rouge, he said back then the pipes would always be
    leakin' and there was water everywhere. My kind of pub. Didya dine
    at wonderful Sun Tuey's also?

    JD

    Walt, as I mentioned in the College Football topic, RPI lost to WPI.  I
    don't remember the score.

    YEHA!!!!!!
    
    What an HONOR!
    
    Terry MEE, of OHIO Wesleyan, was named NCAA III Defensive Player of the
    WEEK!
    
    Terry had 14 tackles (a baker's dozen solo!!) and five QB sacks!
    
    CONGRATS!
    
    JD

    While it's not Wesleyan, but it's on the same level.
    
    Williams had its longest in the nation 23-game winning streak stopped at
    Williamstown on Saturday, 30-27, by Trinity, who was the last team to
    beat Williams.  Trinity scored with 51 seconds left to make the game
    24-20.  Less than 20 seconds later, Williams scored to go back ahead
    27-24.  Trinity came back down the field and was stopped at the
    Williams 5 yard line and tried to call time out but there was no time
    left on the clock.  The referee ruled that there was still 1 second
    left and Trinity hit a 5 yard TD pass to win it.  Wish I'd been there.
    
    John

Also not Wesleyan but it deserves mention. Fresno State beat New Mexico
on Saturday, 94-17 (at least, so says USA Today).

TTom

CONGRATS Trinity!

If their football team has half as many studs as their rugby side, no 
wonder they won....

>    Fordham schneidered Columbia 20 - 16
             ^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    I think that's TM material, JD. 
    

    	Absolutely Paul, it's sad to see the "Denver Death Grip" making
    its way to small college football.  Also Salisbury State needs to beef
    up its offensive and defensive lines or they'll continued to get
    smoked.
    				/Don

    /Don -
    
    Agree with you on Salisbury state - they are viewed as a 'gravy' team
    on most team's schedules.  They rarely stay even with the other team.
    The coach has promised to grill them, in the hope that their hidden
    talents will mushroom.  This could be an A-1 team if prepared
    correctly.
    
    JD

    Re Salisbury State
    
    Many of the coaches of teams scheduled to play them say the same thing
    about their game plan
                                                                        
    "We have to grind it out and keep it mixed up to have a chance.  They
    have a tough ground game and play high steaks football."

    Well MORE GOOD NEWS.  While not a WESLEYAN player, this guy is on one
    of our other FAVORite SCHOOLS:
    
    WOFFORD Quarterback Shawn Graves needs just 238 yards to surpass the
    all-time (that's ALL-TIME!!) NCAA Quarterback rushing mark of 3,612
    yards set by Dee Dowis of Air Force.
    
    Graves, a junior!!, has 3,375 career yards, a NCAA division II record.
    
    Graves is 5'8", 160 lbs, and lasted week gained 203 yards on 15
    carries.
    
    JD

Does anyone know if the Wofford game is televised this week?  I wanna
see this kid break the record.

Or, better yet, could you imagine a SPORTs get-together for a Wofford
game?  I mean, those folks wouldn't know where all the Wofford fans
suddenly emerged from.  Be a Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon....8^)

    
    	Graves is an excellent ball player! He down the road here in
    Spartanburg S.C.  They're(Wofford)program has been on a steady rise the
    past 6 years.
    
    	Good to see them do so good.
    
    B.A.
    

    	It's sad to see a player like Graves get buried by more hyped
    players from big schools.
    
    				/Don

    Yeah, and /Don, he plays before very sparse crowds.  Last game the
    place sounded like a mortuary.  
    
    He is also a_excellent punter.  The coffin corner kick is his
    special-t
    
    JD

�    	It's sad to see a player like Graves get buried by more hyped

    Let's start a campaign and get the guy on the Heisman show like Joe
    Dudek a couple of years ago.  At 5'8", this guy could be the nexted
    Doug Flutie!!!!!

Oh, I can see it now.  I'm having a VISION...

A late fall Friday night.  The bus is loaded with beer, and the
last of the New England SPORTS noters is just boarding.

The bus driver pulls out and jumps onto I-91 and then I-95.

A quick stop to pick up more beer and a certain Pittsburgh noter (who
travelled east to meet us) and we're on the road again.

Friday night turns into early Saturday morning, and the Noters on the
bus eschew beer alone for beer and hard stuff.  The aroma of tequila,
vodka, and Jack Daniels fills the bus.

With a magnanimous feeling in their hearts, the Noters toss a 6-pack
to the driver.

Soon, the bus passes Washington DC, and heads for I-85.


Around dawn on Saturday morning the bus pulls over.  The driver, a little
smile on his face despite his task, goes and vents the coach's toilet.
He returns to his drivers seat, and pulls onto the road.

A few miles further on, as the first pink rays of the sun are creeping
over the horizon, he pulls over.  The esteemed Messrs Hunt and Medvid
board the bus.  One lone snore escapes from the very back, but the
Noters who are still pounding away at the beers and whisky toss
a beer, a symbolic baton in this drunken relay, to Hunt and Medvid, belch
a little and get ready for the home stretch.

Once into South Carolina, the bus pulls over at a diner.  The Noters fill
up on black coffee and good southern cooking.  The back on the bus.

A few hours later they pull up to Wofford U, Mecca for this journey......

    
    HEY FRANK!!!!!
    
    I got's a Class 1 license.  Make it a 18 wheeler and the driver's 
    
    nooo problemo!!!!!
    
    Kev_who_doesn't_need_blocks_to_reach_da_pedals!!!!!!      ;^)

>    I got's a Class 1 license.  Make it a 18 wheeler and the driver's 
    

Well, in CT it only takes a Class 2 (which I have/had  depending on
how the State is working things now) to drive a motor coach.  You might
need a special livery license...

If it's a big rig, we'd need to spend the weekend before setting up
the trailer with all the ammenities....8^)

    Well, darn it all anyway.  Ya'll mean that I lost my status as
    designated driver for these things?  Phooey.  :-)  :-)

	Last week's result:  Union  66   	Norwich 0

	Good call, Walt.  The final was UNION 35 RPI 10!

in the upcoming ECAC season??  I think that would about even the odds!!   :-)

    I'm not entirely sure of the derivation of Wesleyan, but I'll take a
    guess.  There is a name Wesley associated with one of the Protestant
    churches in the US, I believe it's the Methodist Church.  I'm willing
    to bet that Wesleyan comes from that.

    plus they've got an excellent loss to Div. 2 Top 20 Shippensburg. :-)
    
    Speaking of the Rock, how is Myron Brown doing in the Timberwolves
    camp?  Does he have even an outside chance of making the 'Wolves final
    roster?

I'm sitting here stretching my memory, because I used to know a lot
about stuff like this through a lot of experience with liturgical music.

Welsey was indeed a religious figure, and I believe he wrote a hymn
or two in my time.  I'm not 100% positive but I think John is right
that Wesley (the full name John Wesley comes to mind) was indeed involved
in the Methodist church.

Now, I think the Methodists were prominent in Scotland, but I could be
wrong.  I know my Dad is of Scottish origin and his whole side of the
family are Methodists.


What would make a great game was if there was a Calvin U. and they
played Wesleyan.

The Calvinists were a religious sect here in the US also.  Herman Melville
wrote an allegorical short story called "The Lightning Rod Salesman" whih
was a debate on the merits of Calvinism vs another religion, forget which
one...


Hope all of this helps.

>Welsey was indeed a religious figure, and I believe he wrote a hymn
>or two in my time.  

That should read *his* time.  

I'm having possessive pronoun problems today....

    I believe that John Wesley is the founder of the Methodist
    denomination.  (I went to a Methodist youth group in high school.)  He
    also wrote a number of well-known hymns, but I don't have a hymnal at 
    work, so can't look up in the author's index and quote any of them (I 
    just sing them, never know the author or composer).
    
    All of the Wesleyan colleges were at one point or another associated
    with the Methodist church.  Most of them are no longer sectarian
    schools.

    Wesley, John, 1703-1791.  British founder of Methodism.

    Shawn Graves - the junior Quarterback for Wofford - broke the NCAA's
    all-time rushing mark for quarterbacks.  Graves ran for 170 yards (in
    the first half - he sat out the 2nd half, as Wofford was winning
    by a lot), giving him 3,779 yards, passing Air Force's Dee Dowis old
    mark of 3,612.   Graves is averaging 140 yards a game rushing for his
    career, and at that pace, could end up as the 4th leading rusher
    all-time in NCAA....

    Hey JD, I've got another one for you: Alabama State beat Prairie View
    A&M 92-0 Saturday.  But there's a little more to this one: Prairie View
    A&M dropped football in 1990, then decided on short notice to put a
    team back in the Southwestern Athletic Conference this year with just a
    handful of scholarshilp players.  With the loss to Alabama State,
    Prairie View is now 0-8 and has been outscored 369-22 this season.

    Some good news:
    
    USA TODAY  has a bit story on ILLINOIS WESLEYAN receiver Chris
    Basaillon, who is a junior, and has 40 career TD passes!  That is the
    Division III record.  Basaillon wants to break Jerry rice's
    all-division's TD mark of 50 before he graduates nexted year.
    
    Basaillon, 6'0" and 170 lbs, says the NFL is not one of his priorities
    - that he plays for fun.

MAC2

    The New England Small College Athletic Conference, which contains
    Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Hamilton, Middlebury, Trinity, Tufts,
    Wesleyan and Williams has decreed that its members can only play
    football games against each other.  Thus, the 102-year old rivalry
    between Hamilton and Union and the 98-year old rivalry between
    Middlebury and Norwich have both ended this season.  WPI and Coast
    Guard are also affected.  WPI has been playing both Amherst and Bowdoin
    and Coast Guard has been playing both Trinity and Wesleyan.
    
    John

    Some of those conference rules seem pretty stupid if you ask me. 
    Another one that seems pretty silly is the one that is keeping Holy
    Cross from participating in any postseason play.

>    Some of those conference rules seem pretty stupid if you ask me. 
>    Another one that seems pretty silly is the one that is keeping Holy

    I think that is Holy Cross' decision and not a conference rule.  I read
    about a month ago somewhere that there's 3 teams in I-AA that refuse to
    participate in post-season play for what reason I have no idea, but
    Holy Cross was one of them.
    
    
    Joe

    It's the entire Patriot League that doesn't participate in post-season
    play.  The Patriot League (a/k/a the Ivy League wannabes) consist of
    Bucknell, Colgate, Fordham, Holy Cross, Lafayette and Lehigh. 
    Grambling and Southern don't participate in 1-AA playoffs because they
    play each other in New Orleans on Thanksgiving weekend and that's after
    the 1-AA season is supposed to be over.  I have no idea who the 3rd
    team would be but the Ivy League and the Patriot League don't allow
    their teams to play post-season football.

RE:  .97

	While I support NESCAC in some ways (ie it puts
the proper emphasis on academics) I don't understand some
of these stupid rules.   When I was at Union in the early 70's
there was much debate and acrimony about the NESCAC
rules against playing too many games or games too late in
the season which cost Union several NCAA Div II bids in
hoops.  I think this was one of the reasons why Union
eventually dropped out.
	Who cares if the league members want to play
some non-league games to maintain rivalries, what's
the BFD anyway??  :-(

    Well, some GOOD news:
    
    OUr very own Larry Walker, of LOCK HAVEN was named NCAA II Defensive
    Player of the Week!  KUDOS LARRY!
    
    He had 24 tackles! and one pass deflection!

    Can't remember if this got entered earlier so please excuse if a
    repeat, but -- WOFFORD!! cracked the Div. 2 top 20 at #20 this past
    week.

    Holy Cross may be the most overrated team in college football, Division
    1-A or 1-AA.  Every weekend it seems that they just squeak by one
    of these weak Patriot Conference foes (this past weekend against 2-7
    Fordham in Ireland).  I think they're better off not going to the 
    playoffs and playing up this "what could have been" undefeated record
    thing, because your basic 1-AA powers like Eastern Kentucky, Nevada, 
    or Northern Iowa would be all over them so fast their heads would spin.
                  
    Just like in Division 1-A, if a team from the Northeast wants respect,
    they've got to get out and play with the big boys once and a while...

    Slippery Rock lost on Saturday to a Youngstown State team that had to
    have paid off the refs, 40-21. 
    
    The Division 2 NCAA Tournament pairings are listed in today's Boston
    Globe.  Can't remember many of the participants off the top of my head,
    but I know WOFFORD!!! was among the qualifiers.
    
    In the Division 3 Tournament, my alma mater U-Mass Lowell (I still kepp
    wanting to say "ULowell", can't get used to the new name) will be going
    up against Union this Saturday.  GO CHIEFS!!!

I believe the Holy Cross-Fordham contest was played in Ireland.

It was televised at 9am on Saturday morning, in ABC, which was a pleasant
break from all the inane cartoons....


Congrats to both teams!

    That's why they're overrated, Kev!  If they were losing to teams
    like Lehigh and Fordham whom they're just squeaking by they'd probably
    be underrated.  It's time to move up in the world!  ;-)

    Allright, THE GAME is tomorrow....no not BC-Miami or Harvard-Yale, but
    U-Mass Lowell (got it right this time!) at Union in the first round of
    the NCAA Div. 3 playoffs.   On paper, I'd have to give Union the edge,
    since the game is in Schenectady and the Dutchmen have played a tougher
    schedule.  Then again, U-Mass Lowell hasn't really been tested much
    this year, so who knows?

I don't believe that the REAL Wesleyan (in Middletown CT) has
started their season yet.

But, last Sunday, on CBS Sunday Morning they had a report about incoming
freshman (now called 1st year students) and how college is no longer
a guarantee of a job.  The school they profiled was Nebraska Wesleyan!

I couldn't resist.  I've been waiting for The One Right and True Wesleyan
to start their season.

Seeing their score, and that they began the season in a GLORIOUS
manner with a victory over Tufts, I got a woody, and had to put the score
in.

Of course, I *was* **hoping** that you'd include the score in your
unique and "often imitated, never equaled" fashion, so that I could again
feel that rush of pleasure as I hear how the little school in Middletown
beat up on Tracy Chapman U.

Hey hey hey!

Shawn Graves, from WOFFORD, one of our favorite teams, broke the NCAA
all-division career record for rushing touchdown's by a quarterback.  Graves
scored three of 'em this weekend vs. Catawba, giving him 67 for his career.

The previous record of 64 by Jeff Betrim of North Dakota State.

Graves also broke the Division II runshig TD record of Texas A&I's Johnny
Bailey, who had 66.

Graves longest TD run was 93 yards - his second 90 or over TD run in the

I should have included the New Haven score for you. 8^)

New Haven, and Division II school is having an AWESOME season down
near the Gold Coast of Connecticut.  They are leading ALL DIVISIONS
in scoring and I believe, total offense.

They took my Alma Mater apart this past weekend.....

    Correct Saw -

I might be wrong, but with the exception of their first win over
UCONN 14-13, I do not believe that New Haven has scored less than
40 (perhaps 50!) points in any of their other games....

If I can find Sunday's sports page (ie, if it hasn't been used to start
a fire in the wood stove) then I'll put the score in....

PS  Hey, JD, my friend Chris (the marathon runner) got a Sarge haircut!

    What did RPI do?
    
    

RE:  .148

	Smile, Walt.   

	You'll be happy to hear that RPI beat UNION  [:-(]
	23-8 on Saturday, to ruin the UNION homecoming,
	dropping  the DUTCHMEN to 3-3, the first time they
	have lost 3 in a row since 1980.

	Oh, well, there's always hockey!

    Sorry, I've come too now....
    Is Union missing Bagnoli or has RPI got better?
    

Okay,

I don't want to steal any of JD's fire, but while he was seeing Inbred Jed

From: [email protected] (UPI)
Newsgroups: clari.sports.football.college
Subject: Illinois Wesleyan's Bisaillon sets NCAA TD reception record
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 92 18:12:15 PDT
 
	BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (UPI) -- Chris Bisaillon of Illinois Wesleyan caught
four touchdown passes Saturday in a 63-8 rout of Carthage College to
break Jerry Rice's NCAA career TD reception record.
	Bisaillon, a 6-1, 170-pound senior, surpassed Rice, who caught 50
touchdown passes at Division I-AA Mississippi Valley State from 1981-84.
Rice currently is among the National Football League's best receivers
and is just three TD receptions shy of the NFL mark of 100.
	Bisaillon caught scoring strikes of 24, 2, 8 and 45 yards Saturday.
He ended the day with five receptions for 98 yards. Bisaillon has 205
career receptions for 3,328 yards -- an average of 16.2 yards per catch.
He has three games remaining in his college career.
	Bisaillon had eclipsed the NCAA Division III record last season,
breaking the mark of 39 held by John Aromando, who played for Trenton
State from 1981-84, and John Stromberg, who played for Johns Hopkins
from 1978-81.
	The NCAA Division I record is 38 by Clarkston Hines, who played at
Duke from 1986-89.
	A graduate of Herscher High School, Bisaillon was a first-team member
of the GTE Academic All-America team last season. He has a grade-point
average of 3.65 on a 4-point scale, with a major in risk management and
financial services.

AGain, in JD's absence, let me report:



	Wesleyan 40
 	Bowdoin   6

    I'm sure JD will get around to the full weekly report eventually, but I
    had to mention Slippery Rock's big 10-7 win over Edinboro, PA.

Well, as we all know, the purpose of collegiate athletics is not to 
produce egotistical, cro-magnum, athletes, but rather, to enrich the 
academic experience for all students at a university.  The spirit and 
pride a team can instill on the schools populance is astronomical.  
A losing program with fine athletes and scholars is more in keeping
with the collegiate ideal then a winning a program that doesn't 
graduate its players, has them act like street thugs, or take bribes in
the name of loans.    With that, I report on the honorable doings of
the fine scholar athletes of Wesleyan, and others.   It was a tough
week for Wesleyan - but the score doesn't reflect the overall excellence
of the programs:

Illinois Wesleyan nipped North Park 42 - GOOSE EGG BABY!

Nope. 

I'm a Central Ct. State Blue Devil!  [insert Blue Devil salute right here].


Unfortunately, the heads of the college, in a misguided effort at being
politically correct, replaced the statue of the Blue Devil in the
Student Center, with a piece of abstract act repudiated to "represent"
a Blue Devil.

In yet another odious act, they moved the original Blue Devil upstairs
after removing its rather substantial package.   Needless to say I
am heartily disappointed.....

Well WESLEYAN fans, the end game hard, and it came fast.  But all is not

Not trying to grate on anybody but what kinda D does Henry have?

    How does a team win 38-37 in overtime?!?!?

Marc -

I believe in these playoff OT's, they play another quarter, not sudden death. If
not, they play 'last chance' ot's - which means if one team scores, the other
team gets the ball to try to score.

My guess is one team either scored first, got the one-pointer, and the second
team did the 2-point conversion.

    Strange stuff, I've never heard of that style of playoffs.  Sure would
    make things interesting though.
    
    Any ideas on how Northeastern University closed out the season?  Did
    they have a winning season finally 8^)

Marc,

NU ended up 5-5-1.  Fell apart down the stretch, going 1-3-1 in their last
5 games....
