FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[PBR...]

yes billman i dont know why dvc tends to start out a little slow but they need to wake up earlier because at some point it may catch up with them. i am not sure whether the coaches need to do it or the captains and seniors but they need to come out of the chute much quicker

[Rosey]

Predictions for 9/10

Widner over Wilkes
Moravian over Susquehanna
Delaware Valley over FDU
King's over Lebanon Valley
Albright over Ursinus
Lycoming over Juniata

Opinions appreciated...

Rosey:

I'd agree with one exception -- Leb Val over King's.

[Warren Thompson]

Thanks, Gordon ... I guess.

Hope you didn't put the hex on the Valley. 

[Rosey]

gordonmann:

Very interesting... I didn't think people would give Leb Val that much credit.  I thought that it was easy to pick King's over Leb Val, but you think different.. fair enough... we will see this weekend of course.. good luck!

This is a story about Moravian from todays Express-Times:
Moravian

[MOJO]

LVC over Kings is a sure thing, as long as Kelly is healthy.  This kid is as much a threat on the ground as he is in the air.  Not your usual D3 QB.  Everybody wants to talk about Port, he definitely is good, but he is a drop back pro style QB.  He is not much of a threat on the ground. If he has protection, he will kill you in the air.  Kelly, although a good passer, probably is a better runner.  This kid has wheels.  Go Dutchmen! 

[splik]

Is Kelly from LVC running or running for his life?  What kind of offense does LVC run and are they any good at it?

[gordonmann]

Rosey:

For what it's worth, I think Leb Val's offense with Kelly and his receivers can score.  I'm less confident in King's ability to do so.

Now Leb Val's defense is another story...

[bziadie]

Gordon, and that assesment comes from the fact you have seen how many King's games the past three years........?   

I think the answer may be one (1)

[bziadie]

.....and that was last season.

[Pat Coleman]

I believe Gordon has seen King's play each of the past two seasons -- against Wilkes in 2003 and Delaware Valley in 2004.

And I saw them score seven last week against St. John Fisher. Fisher isn't exactly a defensive juggernaut -- allowed 23 a game last year.

I'm definitely going to defend our guys' right to express their opinion because I know I can trust them to punditize (?) responsibly.

rowan got taken out behind the woodshed and beaten like a rented mule....

So does that mean that DVC got beaten like the rented mules, rented mule?   

[gordonmann]

Actually if we go three years from September 9, 2005, I've seen them three times -- Wilkes, Del Val and Widener in 2002. 

That clearly makes me an expert. 

In all seriousness, I'm not an expert on King's offense.  I just have more trust in Leb Val's offense with their best player back (Kelly) than King's without their's (Jackson).  Barnic was just 8 for 22 last year against a dreadful Dutch pass defense and that was with a running back who could take pressure off him.

Again, just my opninion.  That combined with a dime gets you a steaming cup of JACK SQUAT to quote the late comedian who lived in a van down by the river.

If I'm wrong it won't be the first (or last) time. 

Stalker:

I figured, at Del Val, they would choose not to beat donkeys or other important partners in the agricultural process.
