Thanks for your kind words, Gordon. One of my new projects is to stay out of hospitals (especially operating rooms).   

[PBR...]

That said, have fun with Mount Union in the regional finals... LOL just kidding.  I couldn't be so bold as to look so far ahead. 

[kate]

WOW!!!  Way to go AGGIES!!!

[gordonmann]

PG04:

I said the same thing to Aggies Coach Jim Clements.  Needless to say, he's not too concerned about that at this point.

He has done a tremendous job, as has Offensive Coordinator Duke Grecco and Assistant Head Coach Greg Fedick, maintaining the momentum that Mangus started.  As Keith said in ATN this week[/url, this is now a successful program and not just one very special four year run.

[gordonmann]

Here's a weird note for you.  Depending on next week's finals, the MAC could have wins over conference champions from the NJAC (Kean beaten by Del Val), Centennial (JHU beaten by Del Val), ODAC (Randolph-Macon beaten by King's), Liberty League (Susquehanna beaten by Lycoming) and NEFC (Curry beaten by Widener).  Or none of those teams could win the title.

Actually, the MAC is guaranteed of a win over the NJAC since that crown goes to Kean or Montclair State (beaten by Wilkes).

[pg04]

Long live the MAC!  er-- something.

Just got back from the Delval/Albright beat down.  Congrats to Delval for winning the MAC and good luck in the playoffs, you should certainly get one if not 2 home games.  I was very surprised on how bland Albright's offense was, they ran out of the same formation almost every play with little success.  Delval was clearly the better team, bigger, faster, and better coached.  More evidence that being undefeated doe not equal Top 25.  Albright is far away from that lable the way they played today.

Nice to talk to you again Gordan, looks like you will be busy for a couple more weeks broadcasting Delval games.

In my total excitement over the Aggie win, forgot to ask Gordon if Matt Levy is OK?  Since the game seemed in hand, was out helping the family on leaf duty & missed half time - did hear the Intelligencer reporter, though.  Then, heard you, Gordon, say something about Rosemont, so i assume you talked a little B'ball.  Still on an Aggie high!!!

[Boxer7806]

I just want to thank DVU for making my poll look good. I had them at # 1 for the past few weeks over Albright and Alfred.

[maAggie]

Gotta give it to the Aggies, that was one heck of a performance from the opening whistle to the TD by #2! Coach Greco has certainly grown into the O-coordinator position and thought today's play calls were proof that he's made this HIS offense. Coach Clement's defense was awesome once again, and they certainly showed who was the better team in all aspects of the game today!

Congrats to all the seniors who have had four great seasons, and especially Mike Isgro who has been a pleasure to watch play the game. Neither he nor Coach Greco had an easy time erasing the memory of their predecessors, but I think both have done so admirably.

Another MAC championship and Coach Clem's first NCAA bid, speaks volumes about the program. Congrats to Gesswein on tying the sack record, look forward to seeing him break it next week.

Sorry to hear Warren has been under the weather, and congrats to LebVal for a big win. The MAC has certainly proven it's strength this year vs their out of conference opponents and perhaps have gained a little more respect in the process. The Aggies can bring even more respect by making a lot of noise in the NCAA's,

Congrats again to the Aggies...let's close it out big against Widner and add the Keystone Cup to the 2009 spoils.

Kate:

It was a special day at Del Val and I don't want it to end yet, so I'm still prowling the message boards.

Matt is fine (and very happy, too, I suspect), but he's normally pretty busy at half time of the home games.  Hopefully he can join me to talk some hoops at half time of the Widener game.  I did talk a little women's hoops, mainly teasing the two women's basketball players who work in the press box to see if I could get a rise out of them.

[LANES]

Hats off to Del Val.  Once again had Albrights number from the start.  Good job on the top 25 here as it was more accurate than the coaches poll.  Good job Pat and Crew.

Even though it was a quiet year in here it still is a way to bring back fond memories of my D3 years and a place to once again connect with the inner beast that we all once enjoyed.
