296 total yards offense and only 3 points for the Warriors!...5 times they drove inside Albright's 30, including the first one to the one yard line where a fumble went out of the end zone...Another of the 5 drives went to the seven yard line which ended up being the only points of the game, a field goal...Hopefully the Warriors will finish their drives with points next week and pick up a MAC win at Miserablecordia!...Simba

Well, guess what?...We couldn't eliminate mistakes again; hence, we lost, again!...You know right away what kind of day it's going to be when you march down field on your initial series to the two yard line and then turn it over!...After only three games played this season, the Warriors have again been relagated to a "Spoiler" role this season!...Simba

Last week the Warriors were plagued with inconsistency:

They LEFT 5 POINTS ON THE FIELD missing an easy field goal and two extra points...
Two 10 play drives ended on 4th down with TWO MISSED BLOCKING ASSIGNMENTS...
There were TWENTY MISSED ASSIGNMENTS on offense...
The offense had EIGHT DROPPED PASSES...
SIX PENALTIES on the offense...
THREE SACKS...

Need I say more why we lost to Kings?..

Ok, Today the slate is clean as we travel to my relative's Lair in Reading, The Lions of Albright...It's The Pretzel Bowl Game...Very cool and exciting environment as it benefits the local Masons and all they do for kid's charity work....I played in one back in '76 and will never forget it (2 rings instead of 3)...We blew a 10 point lead and lost to go 1-1 at that point in the season...We ran the table the rest of the season going 8-1 but unfortunately, so did Albright as they took the MAC North Crown...

The Lions are playing with a chip on their shoulder after dropping their first two after having the proverbial bullseye put on their back in pre-season rankings...It won't be easy but if we eliminate or even limit our mistakes, the Warriors can pull this out today with a "W"...Simba the Lion

15 years ago on Sunday, the Lycoming Football Family lost one of our own at The WTC...Justin "Judd" Molisani Jr., was Senior Vice President for Euro Brokers and was only 42 years old at the time of our Nation's worst tragedy...At 6'3/300lbs, Judd was one of our biggest OT's but what was even bigger, was his heart...He always had a smile on his face and those who knew him would tell you he was "just a big teddy bear"...He would help you with anything when asked and would volunteer when not...Prayers for his wife Jodi & daughter and all those who died on this weekend of remembrance for the 9/11 2001 victims...Simba

Fellow Lycoming Warrior & Sigma Pi Brother, Jerry "Goose" McGinn, informed me yesterday that he'll be doing the Penn State/Pitt Game this Sat at noon on ESPN...

Coach Clark gives a testimonial at the annual banquet for #31 Tyler Kapinus who in the process of saving his father's life last May, lost his leg and was unable to play football this past season...What an inspiration for all of us as to the goals he set for himself from his hospital bed that day and accomplishing them when camp started in August....Simba

After five years of annual voting (first 3 years on paper ballots, the last two years electronic) we finally got the "G" in!...I called him right after it was announced on ESPNU today and you could hear the emotion in his voice while speaking to me, always humble, telling me that it was us back in the 70's that started it all and are responsible for it...I respectfully said "No coach, it was your leadership over your staff and us along with strong values of tradition and family over the years that made this happen."

Congrats Coach and as you've stated many times, "Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior!"...The entire Warrior Family is celebrating your success today!

Ha. Yes, the folks in Pottstown still remember that well.

Simba, you've mentioned Pottstown before. Is that where you live?

Pottsville Gordon...This short You Tube explains more...Have lived here for over 50 years...That's a lot of Yuengling!...

Anyone interested in reading about some NFL history...Today is the 90th anniversary of the great small town victory over the big bad boys of Chicago at Comiskey Park in 1925...And to this day, the Cardinals (dis)organization claims the 1925 NFL Championship as their own after getting beat on their field 21-7 in the Championship game!!!...The Maroons Curse lives on...The Cardinals will never win a Super Bowl until they give back The Stolen Championship!!!

Lagers, Bleenies, kielbasa and bean soup on the Gameday menu for the Skooks today...The aroma in the air should be good before, during but I don't know about after consumption!

Simba out...

QuoteSimba - What the h#$% happened on Saturday??? Did you leave the 4 out before the 1? I can't recall a Lyco season like this nor a Lyco/Widener score so lopsided. I expected DelVal and Lyco to both struggle this year given their decimated rosters but at least DelVal is showing up and competing. I have a feeling that after the Widener embarrassment, Lyco and DelVal will be a very close game that could go either way

jmcozenlaw...

It was called "a good 'ol fashion whup ass!"...
No consistent line play from our offensive line (total offense 125yds with an ave. of only 2yds/play)...
This comes after two games where our RB, Bowman scored eight rushing TD's!...
No gains on first or second down (ave. of 9.6yds to go on third down)...
So do you think they were blitzing on all third downs? (6 sacks)
Our defense gave up 450+ yards...
Five turnovers...
Need I say more?...
Remember earlier in the season when I said that if Albright won, we would have a loosing season since they had not won from '77 to '04 and when they did win in '04, '06 and '07, we had a loosing record?...Well now 2015 can be added to that string...

One thing positive...Our seniors will graduate with a degree from a great school and when all things are said and done, that is what's important!...
