FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[gordonmann]

Our contention took us through a very tough eastern bracket (all 3 wins vs top 25 teams)with some huge wins on the road for a young team. And the 40 point loss at MUC, we should have won the game, there is no doubt in my mind. and the following year we beat the #3 team in the country in W&J. But we wouldnt know anything about being contenders. Plain and Simple DVC is not on the WU and Lyco plain yet, I believe they will be soon but not yet.

Easy, killer.  I didn't say you weren't contenders. 

If you look at my post, you'll see my point was that under differing definitions of "contender," different teams can claim to be one.  Under one definition, Del Val can make that claim for 2004. 

And Widener certainly can claim that for the 2000 season.  I covered the Widener/Springfield playoff game and was very, very impressed at how prolific the offense was and strong the defense was.  Which side did you play on, out of curiousity?

I won't dispute your recollection of the Mount Union game other than to add the game story indicates your leads were 7-0 and 13-7 and the Purple Raiders had a 22-point lead by the second quarter. 

I do agree with you, though, that Del Val is not on Widener or Lyco's level from a historical standpoint - they're not even close.  They have a long way to go given Lyco's tradition and Widener's two titles.

readytorock...Dont ever take lyco or wilkes too lightly. This week is going to be a test. Every week will be tough from here on out. Everyone wants to bring down last years Champion along with improving their record this year and every team will be up for it. DVC has to bring their "A" game each week.

Coaching changes are part of each team and also with Lycos staff who have been their forever, you can never count them out as long as Girardi stays there.  How is that Simba.....Glad you are back...let the "Hurling" begin.
Lyco...13, WU..7

Try to get there early rockman...it is going to be a packed house!!!

were Hobart's unforms as ugly as Susquehanna's used to be? 

[gordonmann]

Hobart and Susquehanna have similar helmets, though Hobart uses a different insignia obviously.  Some of their rivals call them the Pumpkinheads.

[PBR...]

dvc takes wilkes out back of the woodshed and delivers their beating this week, while lyco is on deck  to have dvc hit them with so many lefts they beg for a right!!! and lvc is in the hole for their smashing!!!

Yes we had the elad twice that game, and they were up twelve at the half. I played offense, and it was F'ing cold in Springfield.

Diary of a Bad 3 minutes in the Bman household last night:

Bman to Wife:  Hun, I will be leaving for the Lyco game at 11:30
wife to Bman:  No you won't, you will be leaving at 8:00...but not for Lyco, but for Sesame Place....you promised...
wife to Bman:  And I already bought the tickets, so don't try to get out of it...
Bman to self:  Damn....

And for the Double whammy:

wife to Bman: Oh, and we are taking my niece and her little friend.
Bman to self:  Damn....


Simba...good to have you back...

Heres something that really bothered me. Last year at homecoming my friends and I go thrown out of the game for being "too loud". We were not using profanity or slurs or anything like that. We were escorted out by Widener campus safety, about 50 of us.    I hope that doesnt happen this weekend cuz I am gonna go nuts !

[PBR...]

are you kidding me??? what is going on ....my friends had a similiar thing happen up at penn state and a number of college presidents have told their student body to not be too rowdy or loud or people will be escorted out of the stadiums....its ridiculous are we supposed to pay our money and sit on our hands and not say anything and be a impartial observer?? i am getting so tired of this stuff!! 

[Chum Slam]

Atleast im not the only one.

When you get older, I will be a good day if you just make it out of the hospitality tent....

[Chum Slam]

We had a keg up on the baseball field, then hit the tents, then the game. Great day, until we got the boot.

[Billman56]

Ubrmeasap....at least DVC will not be beating up on that mule again!! The large animal sciencs majors were upset earlier!

Rockman....7:am is not too early...I'll bring the coffee. Hope the weather holds out. I heard the field though, is saturated and has been for a while. The visitors sideline is really bad.  What we dont need is another quagmire like the Juniata game from last year. Maybe we could get the turf management majors to make the football field a project???

I still like Lyco over Widener

GO AGGIES!!

[Knightstalker]

I have been told by security that I am too loud at basketball games in the NJAC.  One time I was told if I continued to be that loud I would be asked to leave, that is when I shouted to the home crowd that security thought I was too loud and were going to tell me to leave.  I asked if they wanted me to leave and they all shouted no.  I won't name the school but its initials are TCNJ.  I don't know about everybody but I appreciate a visiting teams rowdy fans as long as they keep it peaceful, no fights and no personal attacks.

[Chum Slam]

I love rowdy away fans also. I dont even mind personal attacks, it shows that they are passionate about their team and I respect that. MUC's fans were by far the worst ive ever seen.
