If I had to make an "Educated" guess, I would think that they are trying to portray a more "elite" academic profile to prospective students...and maybe get a piece of that NE "Old Money"

As far as going on Sat...highly unlikely given that I have a 4 year old and a 12 week old, and a spouse that is going to be out....

I can see it now, as the loudspeaker booms "Will the owner of the toddler playing in the 20 yardline, please remove him immediately....we need to get on with the game...."

Well, whatever the reasons... I can tell you that as a fan, I will miss the old traditional rivalries. I know that with the Liberty being an 8-team league, there's still opportunities to play those old rivals as OOC games, but it's not the same.

I mean, sure, playing Lyco this weekend with no MAC title on the line ain't like it used to be, but it still means something. Playing them next year as a "hey, remember us?" kind of thing won't have the same oomph.

bman · November 09, 2006, 04:36:22 PM

that's some hangtime!...

Re - SU's move to the LL, it would be nice if from a football context we could move when we have down years...

I would think the Board had more say than the AD ...

Looks Wesley is going to be invading the MAC next year.

Read http://www.newszap.com/articles/2006/11/09/dm/central_delaware/sports/dsnsp03

Wesley will play Widener and DelVal next year. Hope it's a home and home with DelVal. Live 10 mins from the college. And Welsey has a few Central Bucks alum.

Tried diverse approaches, but still can't find anything about Wesley coming to the MAC. Must be something at my end ....

I think the meaning of invading the MAC, only means that they have 2 MAC games scheduled next year, not that they intend to join the MAC...

PBR... · November 09, 2006, 08:33:15 PM

i agree bman although sounds like the coach wouldnt mind joining the league ....any thoughts on merging with the njac to create a mega conference in the region??

gordonmann · November 09, 2006, 10:04:25 PM

Wesley has plans to play Del Val and Widener. I've mentioned that more than once on this board.

Speaking of Widener, Khalee Prothro has been cleared to play on Saturday. I don't know what Kabba's status is.

PA_wesleyfan · November 09, 2006, 10:05:16 PM

Wesley is playing them both not joining the conference

Taken from the Newszap.com web site and Downstate newspaper

" New foes in '07

Drass has heard the questions about Wesley's schedule.

"Why don't you play some tougher teams at the end of the season to get ready for the playoffs?" people ask him.

"Heck, I'm scheduling people that will return our phone calls," the Wolverines' coach and athletic director answers.

First-time Wesley opponent Morrisville, which has only fielded a football program since 1976, is in its first season in Division III after moving up from junior college status. "

Dont tell me you will be at the game this week?

No wonder the weather has changed...LOL Just Kidding. Yes we will be there tailgating somewhere around Shwartz Hall or something like that. I have been lurking reading the posts and really had nothing positive to add to the posts. Nothing negative either. I hate to see the season coming to an end as always but it has been frustrating some for the Aggie fans at times. But I am looking for a "W" tomorrow in Chester. If you see us stop over, you are always welcome. Burgers and dawgs....Hope to see you there.

GO AGGIES!!!
