I have to admit that (1) I am new to posting on this board; (2) I have followed many of the posters on the board for years and (3) I have no skin in who wins and who loses.............I just love small college football and happen to live in the bucolic Doylestown, PA area.
My question is for skunks_sidekick. What did DelVal ever do to you? Your comments have a bit of venom in them and you have a bit of a "mine is bigger/better than yours" complex. Were you not hugged enough as a child?
Because an occassional poster on the board brings up the every-now-and-then "East Coast Respect" factor, that is no reason to bash an "excellent", but not "elite" program. There truly are only two "elite" programs anyway, with only a handful of programs who truly care about becoming "elite" and settling for "solid" or "excellent" in the classroom first and on the field second.
Whether you're going to school at the midpoint between Philadelphia and New York.......or between Akron and Youngstown......or anywhere else, these kids (all of them) deserve nothing but our utmost respect whether they play for MTU, Whitewater, Kean, DelVal or a winless program.
Good luck to all of the teams and all of the STUDENT-athletes, regardless of what coast they're from, and let's truly keep all of this in it's proper life perspective........as much as we do love it!!
