absolutely gordon the entire league could turn out to be fairly close this year. it is a year of ? and change in the mac its going to be a fun year to watch

[Simba]

PBR & other fellow MAC Posters...There's more motivation this year than the past 3 years (last MAC Championship 2003) for the Warriors to win the MAC...Since 1975 (Lyco's first winning season in 17 years) any player who stayed at Lyco for 4 years, has won a MAC Championship!...I don't know of any other MAC team that can make that claim...."G" is very high on this year's recruiting class and very optimistic on keeping that streak intact!...Yes, the road through Wilkes-Barre and back to the top will be a challenge this year but as always, the "G" men will be up to it!...Simba

Ewing and Georgetown won it the year before they played Villanova, beating Olajuwon, Drexler and Houston's Phi Slama Jama.

It's only like one of my greatest memories from being 8 years old. 

And now back to your regularly scheduled MAC football chatter.

K-Mack,

Appropriately corrected, but then, Sleepy Floyd did make that pass to James Worthy too.

Lyco just curious why you made it seem like the preseason poll was an attack on the Warriors? I was merely stating what the coaches came up with and going in to camp the MAC coaches figure them as the third worst team. And for future reference please keep your metaphors out of the mid 80's and to a time when I was actually alive so I can relate to them (joking of course)

CDTLB,

Okay - since you have not the longevity to appreciate sports history or trivia when trusting on prognostication for one's belief system, ala pre-season polls or even punditry, permit me a current anecdote:

2004 - Yankees are up 3 nil over Boston - and everyone knows that no baseball team ever lost a playoff series after being up 3-0, but somehow, the dreaded Red Sox still have a World Series ring in what many believe is one of sports history's biggest collapses of all-time.

And, oh by the way, I am a Yankee fan, and thanks for paying for my social security check when and if I get to retirement age.

My sentiments were nicely captured by uPBR - and then Simba - the beast!

My hats are off to both you gents.

And by the way, even though I am in Japan, I checked and Lycoming defeated Widener last year, or, at least if you can believe anything you read, after all, American history students know that "Dewey Defeats Truman" but someone forgot to tell that to Harry.

simba all good things must come to an end!!!  LOL....pbr is rooting for coach g as he is a solid man and his record speaks for itself (pbr just doesnt root for them when they play the green and gold of dvc)

[Lyco bleeds BLUE and GOLD]

Hi, Im new to this board. I am a die hard Lyco fan, have been for about 15 years now. Coach G is a legend and the program he built is one of the top in the country.

I must say that Ive read your discussion on the MAC preseason poll and while ill agree that the number 6 spot was a bit of a shocker i feel that this years team will open some eyes this year. Lyco has a truely explosive wide reciever, sophmore Brad Shellenberger, he started last year as a freshmen. Said to be one of the fastest kids in the MAC. There is alot of hype around williamsport on him as well as the rest of the team. they should be doing some very big things this year.

I think the only question mark on the team is toss up between Sean Hanna or Colin Dwyer for the starting qb roll.

I know Coach G is very excited with the freshmen class this year hopefully some kids can come in and contribute early but thats very hard to do under "G".

SEPT 1 ITHACA...cant come soon enough

[Lyco80]

When looking at the preseason poll, someone reminded me to keep the vote totals in mind along with the positions.  Lycoming may be sixth, but there's an incredibly thin margin between three through 6.  That speaks to the parity in this conference coming into 2007.

3. Delaware Valley (1) – 34 points
3. King's – 34 points
5. Lebanon Valley – 33 points
6. Lycoming – 31 points

G-Mann,

Thanks for putting succinctly - my point exactly.

[Lyco80]

Camp has started and it looks like it will be a great season!!! Team Lyco official post for d3sports.com what do you think of the team/schedule/recruits

I know that the Freshman class looks thick and you cant beat the senior leadership...

Do we have a Kicker in place as of yet?


Spidaz, welcome to the message boards.  To generate more activity, I have merged this topic into the MAC board.   good luck and have a good season.  I hope that you find your kicker! -- Ralph Turner

[realistic]

you'll probably have better luck on this topic in the MAC thread as opposed to a new topic.

[fisheralum91]
