To all:

Check out around the Mid Atlantic on the main d3football.com Ryan Tipp's article about Dickinson's Ian Mitchell is really great.

Made me think about those I have lost.

Hat's off to Ian and Ryan.

Old, Agree, Ian Mitchell is a kid WHO GETS IT, not only a great athlete but a special person as well.

These teams are leading the pack so far. Who will win it all?? Vote..

As a side note...let's look at the Mules just a few seasons ago when they were plagued, or, as it has turned out, blessed, with nothing but young players, and they had a losing season.  Little did we know that those young players that were basically forced to take the field were gaining experience that can only be learned by being thrown to the wolves.  With that, let's not just count our eggs before they hatch w/ McDaniel; sure, the days of knocking Dickinson's quarterback unconcious are over, or holding Bernardo of the Mules to under 100 yards in both of his "projected all-american years"; but like Terrorizer24 said, you can't take away from the heart of the players or other staff when they're being led by someone who is out of their prime and has successfully driven the program into the ground.  They will rebuild, it happened in the 90s when Keatings first few years were winless, 2-8, and 3-7...things will turn, just as they seem to do for just about every team in this conference...

Who will win it all?  i'd go with the Mules based on what i've seen on paper thus far in the season...

Mates,

picks for this week.....

Devils )too strong for Terror)
Mules (finding a way to win..a war)
Hopkins (sets the table for a showdown in baltimore next week)
Dips over Juniata (closer than you think)
Aggies (an upset over a team that won't lose another game for a long while, the Gulls)

[muledaddy]

Mates,

Thinking out loud.The most interesting game around is  in Doylestown on route 202, home of
of the DelVal Aggies. This game will feeature 2 really good teams in a big match for big stakes. If
the Aggies can pull off the win, they aint no joke....having beaten Wesley and its other conference
leader/talent. They will deserve national ranking in the top 25.
The Aggies must stop the option running game, and can probably do so, under their talented coach. Turnovers will be the key here, together with the need for clock control/time of possession.
If I didn't have business up the road at Alllentown, where the Battle of the Burgs/Bergs will be fought,
I would do whatever it takes to see the Gulls v Aggies. GO AGGIES....

My picks for 9/27
Dickinson
Mulenberg
Moravian 
Juniata   I had to pick an upset no one eles had how eles am I going to get ahead!
DVC

I do believe Juniata is better than most think!

[BTEXPRESS]

Coachchris, after seeing Juniata in person last weekend against Ursinus, I have to agree with you.

The local paper in Allentown is thinking the Muhles could have a battle on thier hands;

Enjoy

I went with F & M only because of home field advantage. I said earlier that Juniata could surpise a few people this year. Maybe this is the game. Sticking with the homer.

[muledaddy]

  Old,

We do have a battle on our hands. This is war. The boys from Civil War land want to get their 1st
win really bad, seeing that an 0-4 start is really the end of a once promising season. They will throw
everything they have at the Mules and I only PRAY that we have a gameplan to meet the never ending
suicide charges of  the Civil War boys.They are coming, hellbent on successfully invading Allentown.
There is no respect, just bloodlust on  their part. We must be prepared to repel the invaders,forcing them
back to the graveyard from whence they come.Take no prisoners, show no mercy...to the victor goes
the spoils........THIS IS WAR.....GO MULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
