alright bossman a prediction...another dvc mac championship coming up this year...

[john merrick]

Bossman,
Sorry if we were boring you with our conversation.  Truth is that economics affects what happens on the field much more than transfers or new turf!

We let one get away to the competition...

Simba,

Glad to see you on here.  Coach G, and Lycoming College football, are a feeder program for other schools' coaching staffs.  Funny, but if you think about it, it is a tremenduous compliment to the program, despite the fact that you continually train and then lose quality people. 

I suppose the real question for me is what will happen when Coach G decides to retire.  Will the program go outside or promote from within?  Both have advantages and disadvantages.

Here's to a good year for the Warriors.  I think it is time for them to reassert themselves in the MAC.

It will be very interesting to see what develops across the MAC per realignment issues.  I suspect we will see some schools from the MD and VA area invited into the league.  Why?  That is where the population demographics are moving for prospective students.  And, believe it or not, colleges are not about football wins and losses but about butts in the seats.

Still no word on our orders - Japan looks like a no go now.  Baby due late June - boy!  Promote to Captain in August - yea!!

Hope to see you in the Valley this Fall.

Blessings.

Wow..sorry to see GB go to Susquehanna.  Coach Brown was a great mentor with real world (NFL) experience, and always had the kids attention.  My son only knew GB one year, but they developed quite a relationship.   Good luck to him !

Lyco80...when I was up for the banquet, it seemed nothing was certain about Coach G and his retirement.  Is there any sense about how much longer he will coach?  Of coarse, I being selfish saying I want him to coach at least through 09.

congrats on the child..

I won't be posting much after june 15...entering Pa State Police Academy...praying to make a couple games this year thanks to my new commitment

The thought of a third consecutive MAC championship  would be out of this world. The entire "D" is back with the exception of one, and the three "O" seniors who graduated are  a big loss. We all know the QB is key this year. returing running back Sheffield is an outstanding runner and I am looking who else will be stepping in.  But all in all it should be another exceptional season. Wilkes, Widener,Kings, Lyco will provide their usual testing of the team as well as LVC and Albright will be another question mark with a new QB and do not count out FDU as their program is on the rise.  Hope to see you at the tracks for tailgating.

right on hangtime i agree sheffield played a fair amount last year and will be a very solid starter. key will be making sure the qb doesnt have to carry the load with plenty of returning starters on the offense just make sure the qb doesnt lose the game for us and let them ease their way into the starting role. coach clements and greco will have this team ready to roll right out of the gate.

While I would like to share your enthusiasm, I'm not quite as confident as you two. First of all you not only lost 2 exceptional skill position guys on the offense you lost probably the best center you'll ever see play at Del Val. It's great that there are a large number of starters on D but they had their problems last year, one of them was injuries, so they'll need to be much better this year. The offense will be different as it will try to be a grind it out type as opposed to the flash of the last three years. That will require a very strong O-line.

This is a tough conference and it won't be easy to win it for the third year in a row. Obviously, teams will be gunning for the Aggies once again. Let's hope the returning starters come ready to play and some of the younger guys fill the holes.

Go Aggies!

ftm good to see you around post more often....while i see your points in losing key people we do have a ton of returning starters and with wr's, 4 lineman and a tailback with a  good amount of experience. I think greco and co. will be a little more conservative but they will surprise people with how much they do throw the ball. carmon is a stud at wr and will outjump most db's for a ball and marshall is a nice compliment. If they work hard in the off season i think they have a legit shot to win the title again.

Did you receive my email prior to today?

Like we talked about earlier the QB will be the key and in question as to who it will be. In any event it is going to be another exciting season. For me personally the last 3 years have been outstanding.

FearThe Ram

I dont see the Aggies changing their attack all that much into a grind it out offense. I wouldnt think they would leave those 2 outstanding receivers, Carmon and Marshall just running patterns and not getting the ball. Those two are All American caliber and they should be getting the ball consistently. Obviously there has to be a mix and at the time you have to go with whats working. keep the faith baby...its not August yet.

hangtime negative on the email i havent received anything yet....

GO AGGIES!!!

[PBR...]

you got me.....i was nice and have behaved myself and not really stirred the pot at all with my last 50+ posts and my karma is still locked in at -29 so screw it!! LOL!! I asked pat awhile ago and got some answer about how i didnt have enough posts to start getting a better karma well its now almost 100 posts later and i am still stuck on -29....

[Pat Coleman]

I never said that. The number of posts only affects your ability to impact other people's karma.

I've also noticed that complaining about your karma only leads to karma going even lower.

thats alright pat we arent here to make friends only to win mac games and by the looks of it dvc has been doing that now for awhile.... its all good pat!!  8)
