Former Albright player/grad here... Reading High contributed a couple million I believe for the stadium, along with a couple million from the college itself, along with a million (i believe) from a local alumnist.  The money for the new weightroom was largely contributed from a local women in the Reading community who lived a few blocks from the campus as a child. The story from what we were told was that when she was a young child, an albright football player taught her how to throw a spiral, and she never forgot that, and contributed to the college.

if they can get a win sat. what are albright's chances of possibly getting a spot in the national playoffs?

Congrats from an albright fan to Widener on there win today. They really deserved it after falling behind by two scores at half and taking it to Albright in the second half.  Two things I picked up on during the game were Albright did very minimal adjustments at half time. Not exagerating here but Widener must have completed 15-20 hitch routes throughout the game, and other than one INT on a hitch, Albright failed to mix their coverage schemes.  They pretty much ran two different plays there last posession (draw and hitch) and Albright never switched it up once.  The other thing I noticed was correct me if I'm wrong but heading into the game Widener was leading the MAC in penalty yards coming in and today played a very disciplined football game. Maybe one or two penalties throughout the game.  Big showdown next Sat. in Reading for second place. Quick question, will the loser of next weeks game get a chance at an ECAC bid?

rama totally agree with you. I was just wondering, anyone from wilkes on here, out of the 26 players that were suspended, how many of them were starters? thanks for any info.

i was able to attend the wilkes albright game this weekend, and believed that albright won this game by much more then what the score showed. albright wasnt as aggressive in the 4th as what they were in the earlier periods. earlier in the game they were able to score from anywhere on the field that was neccasary and in the fourth they played much more of a conservative game. only wish that wilkes had a full squad to answer any questions on how legit this albright team is...

here is an article that was in the reading eagle today about Albright's new coach...  http://www.readingeagle.com/re/sports/1613581.asp

Yes it is correct that Marzka was named the head coach. It was official this afternoon at a press conference held at albright.  The OC from UP was a finalist, as was the former OC from albright who is now at kutztown. Marzka was said to be just a better fit for the program, and he has a great winning reputation behind him.

Sorry made a couple mistakes in my previous post... he was the assistant head coach at thiel college, and was the oc as well.

just got some news from a good source on the team that Coack Marzka (spelling) has  been named the new head coach (official decision may not have been made yet). He has been the coach at Teel College the past few years.

Some news out of Albright, as Coach Sandusky has resigned. No word yet on who will be replacing him.

As far as albright goes, it looks like transfer Kelly will be taking over for Port. The offense has some freshmen that have stepped up in camp at the receiver spot and will be seeing some playing time. As far as the defense goes, they return alot of players from last year and this will be a defensive oriented team i believe. they look to be a physical defense. will have to replace graduates butler and manotti, and returning db johnson who is done for the year after breaking a collerbone in their first scrimage
