The stretch run, latest on the MAAC, Manasquan vs. Midd. South football

Starting this week MU football (6-1, 2-1 NEC ) is at Robert Morris (5-2, 3-0), then it's MU homecoming vs. CCSU (5-2, 1-2) and home with SFPA (1-6, 0-3) before ending at Albany (4-3, 2-1).

For a while Saturday SFPA was giving Stony Brook (SBU) a game but the Brook pulled away, 30-13.

For MU to win the league outright and host the Gridiron Classic MU stll needs SBU to lose two games. In that scenario MU must win out and that's still going to very difficult considering the games MU has left beginning with this next game at RMU.

SBU's remainng games:
10/21/2006 Sacred Heart Stony Brook, NY 1:00 pm
10/28/2006 Robert Morris Stony Brook, NY 1:00 pm
11/4/2006 at Wagner Staten Island, NY 1:00 pm
11/11/2006 at Central Conn. St. New Britain, CT 12:00 pm

SBU should beat S Heart and Wagner. RMU and at CCSU will be more difficult.

Monmouth just has to keep winning and hope for the best.

Talked with MU president Paul Gaffney today about the MAAC. He's hopeful that maybe the West Long Branch Zoning Board will vote by December. MU was hoping to hold ground breaking cermonies this football season. Now it looks like hoops season at the earliest.

Briefly looking at local high school football..having seen them both play - I would pick Manasquan over Middletown South in a close game, say 21-14. Squan's size and under rated passing game would do it, in my opinion. Squan would clamp down on MS tailback Dave Dosil and it's fierce pass rush would bother South air game.

The game will never be played so all we have is speculation.
