hmmm...albright/usc   reading/l.a.   very comparable in pbr eyes!!
pbr is jealous that he did not go to pepperdine right near tgp

TGP probably would not have attended his undergrad alma mater if he had realized there were colleges in SoCal that were on/overlooking the ocean.  Pepperdine and UCSB - hard, if not impossible, to top that scenery.

Not surprised, especially since the Guru tends to dot the i and cross the t.

That's what being an editor is all about. :)

Funny, I did google it yesterday, but got lost between the o and the u.

uPBRme:

I'll save most of my thoughts for the MAC Preview in the Kickoff (teaser alert!) but I'd switch the two Vals in your ranking if it were my ballot.

Gordon,

What can we look forward to in the kickoff as some of us will be reading it for the first time? Is is run of the mill fact sheet and some quotes or will there be some opinion mixed in for fantasy and intrique?  Cant wait for what I expect to be my best spent Eight bucks since enjoying a few Yeungling Black and Tans and cheesesteaks at Ronnies in Reading...

Let the games begin!

Pat Coleman

I'll jump in in case Gordon doesn't stop by soon.

There's a fair amount of 'just the facts' but where we differentiate ourselves from the SIDs' preview is we give you an honest assessment of each team, good or bad. The SIDs, as publicists, are going to put the best possible spin on everything.

We'll tell you how each team is going to finish, predicting their final record and the conference standings. We'll also rank Albright (and the other 237 teams), in order.

We'll also predict various other random events in Division III for the season, feature players to watch from each region and breakout teams, etc.

Pat's correct.  It's primarily fact presented through the eyes (or finger tips) of the individual writer, so they have his or her take on them.  Plus there's subjective predictions.

I'm willing to chat with you (or other interested subscribers) off line via email or the private messaging system on these boards about anything in the MAC section of the Kickoff.  That way I can elaborate on anything or you can tell me personally which parts I should stick in my ear. :)

I won't guarantee instant responses, but I enjoy covering the MAC and would welcome the chance to go through the season with you and any other subscribers.

PBR...

gordon your prediction of dvc winning the mac pbr thinks is spot on!!!  ;)

Got it. Now who do I have to bribe for a sneak peek and or a black market copy of said materials?

Pat Coleman

Well, the materials aren't available until a few days before publication, so there's nobody to bribe. :)

In reference to the Bo Tkach tragedy, I just wanted to set the record straight...Bo's father, Jim played football at Lyco on defense (LB) which in the mid-seventies era was ranked #1 in the Country in overall team defense...Jim did not play for Lehigh as his son Bo did briefly before transferring to Wilkes and excelling both academically (with honors) and athletically...I thought I would share the Sports Writer's Blog from the Allentown Call where Bo's Dad and my former Lyco team-mate states the facts surrounding the tragedy...I know my fellow MAC posters on this board feel the same as I do when I say God Bless Jim and his family and may Bo rest in peace...Simba

Smell of football in the air.

Picking up my 7yr olds football equipment tonight.  Practice starts this Thursday.  If he has his fathers talents, he will definitely be posting on D3.com in 15 years.

get out!! too funny...i think alot of recruits are obviously probably hit by weidner, dvc, lyco, albright. big al was always fair people didnt always agree with some of his coaching but everyone always said the best players were on the field he played no favorites.

formerwu

He told me when I was at campus on my visit that I would be pencilled as a starting DB.  I didn't believe him. 

I wound up going to Widener and started from day 1 there.  I guess Big Al was right all along.
