Grading the Hawks, etc
Just for the fun of it each week we'll give MU a grade on how it performed in that week's game...based on 10 being the best (nearly perfect) and on downward. Feel free to scream and holler if you dislike , or by some wild chance, actually agree. You may chip in with your own grades. Again this is just for fun. Don't take it like it's a matter of life and death.
Morgan State game....Very solid in most areas. Defense just had the one breakdown and had good pressure on QB Byron Selby most of the day. Offense was diversified and moved the ball well..but there was some unexpected glitches in the kicking game.
Final grade: 8.5
Grade for the Fordham game...8.
Nothing much happened vs. the Rams after the first quarter and MU was conservative with the lead which made sense with the weather.
MU's win over Fordham looks a lot better now after it dumped Albany Saturday. That CCSU win over Georgia Southern Saturday night was an eye-opener.
This week's MU football coverage: Monday follow story. Thursday mini feature and notes, Saturday advance on St. Peter's game, Sunday game coverage.
This is interesting - according to an e-mail from NEC assistant commissioner Ron Ratner, if I understood it correctly, if the 2006 NEC champ gets an invite to the D-1 AA playoffs it won't go due to its obligation to play the Pioneer League champ in the Gridiron Classic.
Hmmmm..me thinks the coach of the NEC champ and his school might not be real enamored with that but I guess that was the agreement with the PL. The NEC champ has never been invited to the 1-AA playoffs as the league does not have an automatic bid.
Hoops note: Monmouth men will not be playing Princeton this year as coach Dave Calloway cited a scheduling conflict but said the series will resume in 2007-2008 with the Tigers coming to Boylan Gym.
Keep the Sept. 28 date in mind. That's the next scheduled meeting of the West Long Branch zoning board on Monmouth's MAAC project (the new athletic building).

Hawks moved up to No. 3 on Don Hansen's D1-AA Mid Major board!
All these "polls" etc. are fine but the only one I give any credence to is the Sports Network. At least they have a banquet and provide a cup!!
Well, they're up to No. 4 on the Sports Network Mid Major Poll. Keep it going Hawks!!
