I can understand DVC holding a grudge for us leaving the MAC if they think we think we're better or something... but holding a grudge for not rolling over and playing dead back in '06? sorry, don't buy it.

BTW, Del Val was clearly the better team... I don't begrudge them the win. I do think the touchdown before halftime was tacky, though. *shrugs*

"TheGrove"

A couple of points : Your team made up for it this past Saturday, they rolled over and played dead the whole second half!

Tacky??? did you say tacky??? I guess the Aggies were supposed to rollover at that point? Your team had the opportunity to run out the clock and go into half licking their wounds. In fact, I thought they were. with just over a minute to play and starting in their own territory they ran the ball for a short gain and then called time out.
Soon after, another interceptrion sets Del Val up near midfield. I tuned to my wife and said now we can take a couple of shots at the endzone...... It only took One!!!

Sorry to upset you Warren....... but everybody put a "beat down" on the Aggies back then! Ancient history as far as the foorball world goes!

Give the Del Val squad the props they deserve! In today's world it's "what have you done for me lately?" and lately the Aggies have done quite well.

If those two teams that played Saturday played 10 times this year it would be the same story each game. Susquehanna was overmatched, outplayed, out hustled, outhit and out coached and in the end just flat "quit"

The Aggies have "earned" every award they have garnered past and present.

WOW!!!! with an extra helping of WOW!!!!!!!  Quite an impressive win for the Aggies today. Maybe a littlr bit of revenge maybe sending a message to the MAC deserters, maybe just a plain old fashioned beat down. Either way it was impressive!

Sets up a nice rematch with Albright. Aggies will have to guard against being overconfident as I expect Albright to come out with a nothing to lose attitude and a team playing like that can be extremely dangerous.

Congratulations to both Albright and Leb Val., they along with the Aggies did the MAC proud, a little unforunate that both don't have a chance to move on next week.

Go Aggies, one more win and you get to go Big Bear hunting!

Just a great day in Doylestown

Way to go Aggies.........Played a tough game in tough conditions........It's good to be 2 - 0 going into next weeks game with the giant from Delaware........ but the aggies have played those guys tough two years in a row..... I don't anticipate anuthing diffrent this year.

Go Aggies!!!!

Agrre with Gordon...... Cortland proving to be a worthy champion. Give 'em hell and shock the world!!! Would also agree that the MAC had a more competitive conference than the NJAC this season. I do bleed green ans gold but still believe that Del Val was playing better than anyone in the MAC at the end of the season and may have been a better match for Hobart. They stumbled in the middle of the season and it cost them dearly.... oh well, some day I will get over it!!!

Phil,

Maybe propaganda was a bad choice of words.

Here is a fact for you though. Rowan under Keeler was what I would consider to be a rogue program that stretched the rules of eligibility and  made a habit of picking up as many DI wash-outs as possible. There was no loyalty to players there, didn't maatter who you were, if he could find a DI  player to bring in and take your place he would.  Still doing the smae thing at Delaware.

Rowan is and was a very difficult school to get into academically. Would love to see the graduation rate of Keeler's football players under his tenure. Once Keeler left the program was strong until his players were out of the system. Coach Acorsi runs a much better program as far as being in the true spirit of DIII football.

GA Mangus at Del Val did the same thing to get his program moving forward. Beat the bushes for players that couldn't cut it at the bigger schools either academically or athletically and  brought them in to boost the program.  Sure, every DIII coach would love to have a few blue chip players fall into their laps but thise guys went looking for them. Coach Clements runs a completely different style in his recruiting and it seems to be working.

Don't get me wrong, Keeler and Mangus are both excellent coaches and have a win at all costs attitude which in their eyes may seem necessary. But, both are self promoters and were willing to take short cuts when available.

Just my opinion, of course, your's may differ!

maAggie

How is it you only trash talk after Del Val wins ??? Not only that but
you and you husband come on as a double team. Smooth!!! After beating Wesley a
nd Salisbury, Del Val should have walked through the MAC.  Maybe the ACFC teams took too much out of the AGGIES. And don't take this as Aggie hating, I am a Del Val, i know the parents and relatives of many of the Upper  Moreland kids and have watched them play for years.

PA_Wesleyfan,

Lighten up dude, just had to ask the question about the defense these teams play because all year long I heard about how good Montclair State was and how they were robbed by not getting a bid. They sure didn't show that much against an Albright team that Del Val routed 34 - 7 the week before. Honest question I thought!

Maybe I'm a little sensative about the NJAC since I have been exposed to years of Rowan propaganda loving just five minutes from that school. Sort of like you whose son went to Wesley yet lives down the road from Del Val. As I stated to you before, I always thought that the Aggies would win every game they ever played. I never waiver on that point. Hoping for Wesley to win the National Chanpionship, would be nice to be the only blemish on such a great team's schedule!

One last thing, as far as what Maggie posts on here or anywhere else I can guarntee you that they are completely her own opinions, we don't plan, plot or even discuss what one another does on here!

Question?

What kind of defense do they play in the NJAC???

Albright shuts down what was supposed to be a decent Montclair offense and the Kean team which was averaging 33+ points a game were almost completely shut down by Del Val. Do you play like arena football where no body stops anyone???

I know your answer.......... your teams didn't take the games serious, right???

Congratulations go out to the Delaware Valley Aggies  and the Albright Lions on their impressive victories over two of the NJAC's best teams.  To see the Albright team bounce back from the loss they suffered last week and completely take it to Monclair State was impressive. Their players should hold their heads high for that effort against a team that many were shocked not to get an at large bid to the NCAA playoffs.

What the Aggies defense did yesterday was truly impressive. They held a team that was averaging 33+ points a game  to one lone 4th quarter touchdown. Kean was able to move the ball through the air gaining almost 200 yards in less than ideal conditions but the Aggies completely shut down their ground game limiting them to a paltry 31 yards all day long. On a day when moving the ball on the ground and eating up clock was paramount the Aggies certainly proved superior on both sides of the ball.

Sitting in the stands, on a cold and windy day, was well worth it to see the boys of fall give it one more go! The Delaware Valley football team has given me and my family four great years of memories that we will cherish for years to come. Coach  Clements should be commended for his hard work and dedication along with his staff. I shall truly miss these  times but hopefully will attend an Aggies game from time to time in the future.

I believe that most MAC observers would agree that over the last four weeks of the  season the Aggies were by far the most dominant team in the division. It's a shame that they suffered those two blips on the radar in mid season but that's football. Good teams respond to adversity and the Aggies certainly proved that they are a truly good team. It's nice to go out on a winning note so maybe it's just as well they didn't get the NCAA bid

Congrates also to Lyco on a nice effort at Hobart. I believe the MAC teams all represented themselves with pride and earned the MAC some props!

ECAC Game between Kean and Del Val looks like it might be an offensive barnburner. Teams seem like mirror images of one another on paper.

Kean averages 33.4 points per game and allow 23.9.
Del Val 26.2 and 19.5

Each team has one feature running back
Kean - Chunn 137.5 yds per game
Cook - 116.9 yds per game

Quarterbacks
Kean - D'Ambrisi 184.4 yds per game  - 135.56 efficiency rating
          16 TD's 14 interceptions
Del Val - Isgro 165.3 yds per game - 137.51 efficiency rating
          21 TD's 4 interceptions

Wow, look for some points to be scored barring foul weather.  Looks like it could be a 45 - 42 game. I guess which ever defense can find a way to slow down the other team's offense will have the upper hand. I wouldn't look for alot of punts in this one and it could be really enjoyable as both coaches could use every play in the playbook and gamble at anytime.

Looking forward to one moore game at home where the Aggies have done pretty well this season (only losing to Iona in the season opener). One advantage that the Aggies may hold, and it's one that has been proven over the years, Kean is a turf team and will be playing on the real stuff. It just seems to me to bring some of the speed advantage other teams may have back to a neutral factor.

No matter the outcome, it's been one hell of a ride for the Aggies over the past six years. This will be my son's final game so it will be very emotional for our entire family. Win or lose it's been great, his class entered with a MAC championship and leave with one. He's number "5" in the program and will always be number "1" in our hearts.

One final time, with gusto......GOOOOOOO AGGGGGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To the Apprentice,

Thanks for your reply, I apologize for getting a little heavy handed in my blogs. I truly do wish for Lyco to do well in the upcoming playoffs. I do think that Hobart is very beatable if you guys play well.  A strong showing by Lyco would be a boost for the MAC, just as the Aggies two wins over Wesley and Salisbury. We may have different opinions when it comes to playing each other, however it's just like most families, "It's okay for us to pick on each other, but just try and let someone from the outside do it, fight one, fight all!!!"

Good Luck to Lyco, Albright and Del Val this weekend, bring home three wins for the MAC

04 DV wins 26 -19
05 DV wins 31 -13

2003  Del Val 38 Lyco 27
2004 Del Val 38 Lyco 27
2005 Del Val 26 Lyco 19
2006 Del Val 17 Lyco 16
2007 Del Val 31 Lyco 0 (that had to sting)

Now I understand your pain and frustration apprentice, now I understand what brought you out of the woodwork.

You are right, I haven't been an Aggie fan for long, just the four years my son has played there. These ar the only four years I really concern myself with. I am truly sorry if that doesn't meet your standards of a real fan.

2008 Lyco 10 Del Val 7 . Congratulations, you finally got that monkey off your back! Now just be careful he doesn't junp back on there next year.

As much as I hate to say it, my time on this board is coming to an end. I will stop by occasionally and check it out but doubt if I will post much. I will move on with my life as will my son and discover new ways to pass the free time I have. The Aggies will always hold a spot in my heart and I will always be a fan.

Question. Did the loss to Ions figure in the Aggies eligibility for the at large bids. I know that no three loss team would get in but without that out of division game the Aggies were 7 - 2, with two wins over ranked opponents.  Anybody have the answer on that?
