Re: Where Is Obserbear?
Season predictions? Eh, not willing to pass judgment just yet. Preseason ranking prediction: http://d3women.blogspot.com/2009/10/...edictions.html
I mean, for the season, so many of the top teams lost so much, but a lot of them have senior leadership, with the exception of Plattsburgh who has only three seniors. Hard to pinpoint but maybe the West will get some eyes leaning left because the east is going to be a battle to say the very least.

Re: Where Is Obserbear?
Obserbear would predict a break-out season for the Bowdoin College Polar Bears in their sparkling new rink (The Sid)ney Watson Arena by the bay in Brunswick, Me. They added talent at goal, on defense and up front. Nothing like a new rink to perk up a program.
My NESCAC pick is still Amherst until someone in the east shows they can be beat, and Gustavus Adolphus will be toughest overall"The great State of Vermont will not apologize for its cheese!"

Re: Where Is Obserbear?
I really wanted to put the Polar Bears in at #10 in my poll, but a friend felt that was a tad optimistic. Last season Coach Wilson was able to get her team to play at a higher level than past performances indicated was reasonable to expect; if she has added a couple of snipers (and the two Wild recruits look to be scorers), the Polar Bears may surprise and move back into the top tier of the NESCAC. Sorry to say, but this season's Bowdoin field hockey team may not be playing late into November, and that can only help the Polar Bears get ready to welcome Midd and Williams to the friendly confines of Watson the weekend after Thanksgiving.
I think Amherst and Midd are still 1-2, but I could see the PB at 3!!!

So the Polar Bears avenge an early season loss to Amherst and advance to the conference semis. So much for getting on the ice sooner.
They'll be playing in mukluks in another week --- maybe those Mainers are used to it, but I guess that means that Amherst gets the early season edge that Bowdoin probably needed...oh, wellIllegitimum non carborundum
Cartman: Ma'am, the Crack Baby Athletic Association is a storied institution that was founded over twelve days ago.
Cartman:Should I admit I was wrong, ask for everyone's forgiveness and go back to my original team? Nah, screw that, I'm just gonna keep being a d**k.
Cartman: Screw you sir, I'm going home.

Re: Where Is Obserbear?
Will any of the ice hockey crowd be up in Hartford for the NESCAC field hockey playoffs? I would like to go, but was in Aston last night for RIT@Neumann and an early season hockey fix (great game to start the viewing season) and just can not get away.
GO U BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just watching it on webcast -- Bowdoin dominating (hard to keep the 3x champs down) -- looks like they want it, but that Trinity goalie is sharp (Dinallo)"The great State of Vermont will not apologize for its cheese!"
