Where the new coach turning the program around in one year and the facilities may have a positive impact on recruiting, the secret lies in the financial aid packages that Albright offered. In regards to other MAC schools, Albright threw around more money to entice more students to enroll in the university, whether it be athletes or not. (Not sure if it is true or not, but rumor has it that Albright is fiscally not doing well, so they are trying to get the most enrolled in the university as possible.) Also, they were able to get their packages out earlier then other MAC schools. I know when I was going through the process, why hold out for another school when you get a good package off the bat. Maybe these reasons are responsible for a big class.

But remember it is quality not quantity....That is if your good prospects don't fail out before they become impact players.

Widener's OOC Schedule:

September 13th -  North Carolina Wesleyan @ Widener

As a Montclair fan, I'm trying to figure who our out of conference game would be this year. Wilkes and Widner could be candidates. Any thoughts from the MAAC faithful?

Widener is out.....Their OOC games this year are NC Wesleyan, @ Wesley, and @ Frostburg State

Congratulations to the 11 from Widener who garnered All-Mac honors. Keep on rolling this weekend out in Ohio.

Goodluck to Albright this weekend in their ECAC game.

Hopefully a few postseason wins will show that the MAC really wasn't that weak of a conference this year.

Its just about that time....Last four weeks of the season are turning out to be the biggest....After an abismal start to the season, this is what the MAC is all about...Hopefully, when all is said and done though the team that wins the league crown will be ready to go in the playoffs and not banged up/revert to their awful out-of-conference ways....I hope everyone is like me and are on the edge of their seats to see how the dust settles at the close of week 10...

BTW we need some more posters in this forum....I signed on early this morning and the MAC was at the bottom of East Region Football...How 'bout some trash talking boys

To CDTLB and other pre-season aficionados,

Remember - Georgetown soundly beat Villanova two times in the regular Big East season before they met for the national championship in 1985.

As I recall, Patrick Ewing never did get that NCAA ring, or come to think of it, that NBA ring either.

That is why they play the games - I say, Coach G and staff will use this ranking for motivation every time they play someone higher than them.

Let's see where Lycoming stands when the dust clears - the gridiron is a good place to find the true strength of teams.

Best of luck to all MAC teams, but especially, GO WARRIORS!

Lyco just curious why you made it seem like the preseason poll was an attack on the Warriors? I was merely stating what the coaches came up with and going in to camp the MAC coaches figure them as the third worst team. And for future reference please keep your metaphors out of the mid 80's and to a time when I was actually alive so I can relate to them (joking of course)

cd...lyco has been around a long time and my guess would be lyco doesnt consider it an attack against lyco but is merely stating that he totally disagrees with the poll and is on the record of stating he thinks lyco will finish higher than this poll predicts after all the dust settles from the season. also if you think this is an attack just wait until the regular season starts there will be plenty-o trash talkin and attacks on teams....

This an attack? No.    A warning? Definitely.     Can't wait for the trash talking to start. Game On.

Just thought everyone would like to see the poll. On another note, I want to extend my condolences to Bo Tkach's family. As a former teammate of his, it really puts in to perspective just how short life really is.
