FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

Jay:

Good to hear from you.  I don't think there's any video from last week's game beyond the game film.  There is, however, a video highlight of the game tying touchdown. It may be in D3football.com's weekly highlight reel. If not, I can find it for you when I'm on a faster internet connection.

The video feed for today's game is provided by Washington & Jefferson College. The home teams usually handle video. This is W&J's first attempt at video. Take a look and let me know what you think because I think we can duplicate the technology at Del Val.

Hello fellow MAC posters:

My life is crazy of late and I have not even been paying attention to what has been going on with D-III this season.  For instance, I did not even know Lycoming was playing Rowan let alone upset them with tough defense until several days after the game.  I hope to stay a bit more tuned in but you can never tell when you are in the military assigned to DC for duty.

It appears that the Warriors will go 2-0 as they are pounding Westminster now with only minutes to go.  Perhaps the lads from Williamsport will contend for the MAC crown - as usual Coach W. has the defense snarling and scrapping for every yard.

Another "heart attack city" game for the Aggies, as they held on to beat a great Washington & Jefferson team 20 to 19!  Again, congrats for the big away win!   Didn't hear your call of the game, Gordon, as my computer wouldn't plug me into the audio, couldn't get the video either, but the live stats were spot on.  GO AGGIES!!!

Exciting win by Stevenson in 2OT over CNU, 46-43. Congrats to Coach Hottle and his kids.

Congrats to Albright, going 2-0 with a convincing win against Geneva, 46-10. Next up is Wilkes.

[gordonmann]

Yep, it was a nice non-conference showing for the MAC teams. They finish the two-year MAC-PAC challenge with an 11-3 record. Wilkes and King's couldn't play today because of the flooding.

An absolute thriller.  Congrats from Newport News.

You are stationed in DC now?  I am so sorry, no military man in his right mind ever wants to get near DC.

gordon, looking for a game to see this weekend.  what are your feelings on the del val - leb val tilt?  leb val looks ok on paper at least and they did go 5-2 in the mac last year.  del val d looks good as usual, offense may be down from the last couple of years.  let me know when you get a chance.  traveled to bridgewater to hang with stone station in week one and went to kean last weekend, think maybe a shorter drive is in order this week.

Good luck to the DVC Aggies this weekend as they take on the Lebanon Valley College Dutchmen at home.   This weekend's weather looks to be more conducive to football - much cooler!

Wes Dad:

I wrote you a long, detailed analysis. Then I hit the wrong button and it all disappeared instead of posting.

So here's the very short version.

Del Val has a really good run defense and Ben Guiles is a really good running back. That makes for an entertaining match up. Del Val's offense needs to improve for them to meet the high expectations which now include a national ranking. The freshman quarterback, Aaron Wilmer, looks really special, but he needs better protection.

If you can get to this game, hopefully it's a good one. And if not, then consider driving to Chester instead for the match up between Lycoming and Widener, which should be very good.

[wesleydad]

gordan, thanks for the info.  i had thought about the widener game but i had heard about the scrimmage against wesley which didnt sound very good for widener.  the drive is easy, 10 minutes so i think my choice will be made by how i feel after happy hour tomorrow evening.  wake up feeling good, trip to delval and see the ranked team play; feeling a little groggy may lead to widener.  may see you saturday.

Before i type my brief post, just want to reiterate "PBR - You Are Missed!"   And now, that's the beauty of the MAC football teams, truly on any given week!  Just a few years ago FDU knocked off Del Val, and last year in that final regular season game, Widener beat us.   Not, certainly, that i like when that happens, but it sure shows parity.   GO Aggies!!!  I'll be following Gordon's call on the computer.

Gordon - I had a problem accessing the video of the DVC vs. W&J game last week. I was attempting to download something to be able to watch but it didn't work. I remember watching the DVC at Iona game on the internet a couple of years ago and technology keeps evolving. Hopefully DVC can figure out a way to stream it's games. I'll say hello to you at tomorrow;s game.

On a totally unrelated note.........(1) have you heard anything about the DVC Men's Hoops team re: freshmen and/or transfers and; (2) any news on Brandon Totten's replacement for the wrestling team?

Thanks Gordon.

[gordonmann]

Jay:

Sounds good. Please do say hello tomorrow.

I don't know anything about the wrestling coach or hoops teams. I do a lot of work for D3hoops.com but am pretty much clueless when it comes to wrestling.
