Does anyone share my opinion that Wilkes and Deleware Valley are the class of this leauge? I just think in the end, these two teams will prevail on top. I know Wilkes has been getting the most love on the ERP, but I think head to head, Deleware Valley might be them. I credit the fast start of some of the other teams strictly to a weak schedule. Any opinions?

that is exactly why this weekend is huge...a large %  of people have been touting wilkes all season. now they play a very good albright team that has been hanging in the shadows but is very well coached and has good players. this is a gigantic game for both those teams and will let everyone know either wilkes is as good as people have been thinking or albright was going to be one of the teams at the top of the mac like pbr thought at the end of the season. weather could also play a huge factor in the mac games tomorrow w/ at least morning rain forecasted and possibly into the afternoon....

Sorry, but I'm not buying Wilkes being up in the class of the MAC with Delaware Valley and Albright until they do it against MAC opponents.  The Muhlenburg win has been devalued after Gettysburg dominated them, and while the Montclair State win was impressive and the Christopher Newport win was a good one, I'm still not convinced either of them is top notch this year.  With quarterback play being at a premium, you still have to go through four year starters Mike Isgro and Tanner Kelley if you're going to win the MAC.  This goes for my Flying Dutchmen as well, who get their shot to prove themselves against the Aggies tomorrow.  Until Lebanon Valley wins a big game in conference, they can't be mentioned in the elite class either.

While I know that Gordon usually has the market on Delaware Valley broadcasts, if you are looking for a different view from the underdog program, the Delaware Valley at Lebanon Valley game can be heard at http://www.wmssfm.com/live.shtml.  You need Real Player to listen, but it is a free download.  Here's to a great weekend of MAC action starting tonight at FDU!

Of course you're not sold on Wilkes, you're a Leb Valley fan.

BAK4LVC,

You want to talk senior QB play in the MAC, and how Wilkes may not measure up in that catagory? Let's talk....

I've seen the first two Wilkes games this year, and I can tell you that the play of senior QB Rob Johnson has been a major factor in the 3-0 start. While he may not get as much attention as the more ballyhooed seniors around the MAC, Rob is a great athlete who is in his second year as a starter, and has grown very much in his four years with the team. I worked with the program during his first two years- he even lived nextdoor to me in his freshman year. So don't sleep on the Colonels because of QB play- Johnson is powering that offense, and a young group of wideouts is earning their stripes as they go along.

As for the schedule, Muhlenberg was in a rebuilding year from the start- everyone knew that. But if any of you are wondering how Wilkes is going to tackle Albright's horse, look at the Colonels game with Muhlenberg. In 7 years of following/working in the MAC I've seen some darn good backs- Steve Cook, Chris Jacobs, Richard Jackson...and Muhlenberg has a freshman RB who has the potential to be as good as  any of them. While I haven't seen the rest of the Centennial, I would be shocked if that guy isn't in the running for rookie of the year in the league. So the Colonels have some experience with that, and the D-line has been developing more and more each week. Still, the strenght of the team is the secondary- five experienced, heady guys back there, all with great awareness, toughness, and charecter.

So my friend, take it from a Wilkes insider......this is the sharpest, most focused Wilkes team since the title year of 2006, which gave me that nice ring on top of my dresser Hopefully we'll see you at Ralston Field next week- until then, enjoy this week's action!

Hey G,

Can't sleep, came down stairs and saw you lurking. I think Wilkes is the real deal also. As I said (3) weeks ago you guys are tough and well coached. We start to step it up against Willy P tomorrow and see what happens from there. Good luck tomorrow.

rams1102,

Good to see you on- I was up for the crash-extended version of Formula 1 qualifying for this week's race, s I had to check in as well. Thanks for the compliment- hopefully the guys will keep it going today against a very good Albright team.

Make sure the Red Hawks take it to Willy P today- we lost to them twice when I was with the Colonels and should have won them both. Have fun out there!
