Good catch...thanks!  I had a brain freeze when I saw Rowan (Who would be a great fit for the MAC)....OK the MAC had one....but we did have one of the all time greats in Billy "White Shoes" Johnson 

PBR...As you know I am a regular on LLPP, but I wanted to provide ample warning...

[PBR...]

As I recall, Widener sent another player to the NFL from the Billy Johnson era: center Joe Fields played several seasons for the Jets.

It could be argued that the best D-III player so far has come out of the NJAC, one Sam Mills.  The second best is probably from the OAC, London Fletcher.  The third is Pete Metzelaars from Wabash.

Stalker,

Nice choices, Sam Mills as a Red Hawk Fan and London Flercher as a die hard Ram Fan since Roman Gabriel.

Knight/Rams

That's a stretch to say the least...I only say that because "Whiteshoes" "Invented the touchdown dance (I think it was the funky chicken)...
...Mills was just good (and word is he couldn't dance)

[Knightstalker]

Billy White Shoes Johnson inventing the touchdown dance is enough for me to take more points away from him.  He led to such fine gems as Deion Sanders, Michael Irving and TO.  Thanks White Shoes.

[formerwu]

White Shoes by far over Mills.  Not only did he have a better dance, His fashion sense dictated one's shoe color from everybody in the NFL down to Pee-wee for close to 30 years.  Shoes have now gone back to black.  Black is the new white.

Billy would make green shoes look good.

BTW - Don't forget Dino Hall out of Glassboro State back in the late 70's

[bman]

I thought Roman Gabriel was an NC state grad???

Former WU...  Did you have White shoes?

Maybe you can do the broom drill in them

[PBR...]

looking at dvc's schedule the one thing i am kinda looking forward to the night game at widener at 7:00pm. hopefully this will become a tradition of playing the game at night albeit i am not a huge fan of chester in darkness....

PBR

just bringa flak jacket and some small arms, and you will be fine...my car was only stolen once there....

oh...if you have some mace, bring that too...

[jb]

Small arms....that's like bring a knife to a gun fight!

heading to chester for a night game remove your steering wheel, flatten your tires, maybe...just maybe your car won't be stolen.

I'm kiddin' of course!


GO LYCO!!!

[PBR...]

LOL...pbr is thinking of going to a junkyard an buying a car for $100 to drive back and forth to that game.....

Hi everyone, first time poster here so go easy with the flames. Albright Grad and 4 year starter/capt.  I was looking for somewhere to quench my thirst for real good info on the league, and teams as it is hard to comebye as an alumn, or working stiff with little kids and thin time for heading out to the games.  It appears i have found a nice place to fill in some gaps. Of course I miss the scene and the hitting, but my body will suffice with the info. Having been through a few coaches at 'Bright, I feel way out of the loop and need to get a taste of the scene again to keep me whole. I will add what I can whenever I can as I have been there.  I look forward to an interesting season as I pick up the ball and head north again. Thanks!

Well, welcome -- we need more Albright fans. What era? Saw some great Albright/Catholic games in the mid-to-late '90s.
