wesleydad - After the game, stroll through bucolic Doylestown and stop at a nice restaurant for a bite to eat and drink...............vs. Chester. No contest:)

Nice win today Aggies! We have our very own T.O.!

The only bad score this afternoon was Penn State coming from behind to defeat the Temple Owls, 14/10. The way this very inexperienced football follower sees this MAC season is that Widener should be feared, but i sure hope that DVC continues to play every team real TOUGH!!!

Great win for the Aggies today. Aaron Wilmer seems like the real deal just 3 games into his freshman year. Lebanon Valley has three very good running backs and a very good receiver in #1 (Joey Smith?) but can't stop the pass and can't really throw the ball. The top three of four teams in the MAC all have a chance and I don't see anybody pulling away with it. The MAC very well may be decided on the last week of the season.

maAggie · September 17, 2011, 07:45:47 PM

Just gotta say it...nobody runs on the Aggies defense...All American or not! Congrats on a nice MAC opening win! Keep rolling DelVal!

wesleydad · September 17, 2011, 10:04:44 PM

enjoyed the game today. i saw 2 above average teams, one made too many mistakes to win. game was much closer than the score would indicate. maAggie, will have to disagree about no one running on the aggies d, guiles had 100 + yards on 13 carries, think he averaged over 7 yards per carry, i dont know why he didnt carry it more. del val has a nice qb who will get betteras he plays and the running back is very good. they will be tough and are likely the team to beat in the del val. leb val will win most of their games too. the jury is still out on widener as it seems they are getting by with d and special teams scores. gordan, nice to see you as always, thanks for asking about my son, really appreciated. good luck the rest of the year, i will chat with you here.

gordonmann · September 18, 2011, 12:26:05 AM

No problem. Good to see you, too.

By the way, Guiles final line was 13 carries for 67 yards. Kyle Schuberth of Del Val had 18 carries for 139 yards (7.7 per carry).

wesleydad · September 18, 2011, 08:37:59 AM

gordan, thanks for the correction, still think he should carry the ball more. guiles looked like he could break a long one on any carry. schuberth will be a good one.

gordonmann · September 18, 2011, 11:30:46 PM

No problem. Agree on Guiles who was Preseason All American for D3football. Del Val has a way of making great backs look pedestrian. Building an 18-point halftime lead doesn't hurt either.

Del Val runs the MAC .... been that way since 04 and looks like the aggie machine will just keep rolling with the emergence of another stud QB....

Could be. On the other hand, are you familiar with the proverb, "pride goeth before the fall"?

kate · September 21, 2011, 06:42:18 PM

Hello Warren, my mother recited that proverb to me all the time growing up. I do have to admit that i agree with you. If the Aggies are going to continue their strong play, they will have to really be on top of their game (no pun intended). Widener & Albright loom large on the horizon. Have to admit, tho, it's been fun following them on live stats the last three Saturdays.

kate · September 23, 2011, 09:46:34 AM

Actually, should add to the previous post that i mostly listened to Gordon's call of the game, and only checked live stats after leaving the computer for brief periods of time.

Just hope it's not pouring rain tomorrow afternoon.

gordonmann · September 24, 2011, 02:05:53 AM

It's raining. It's pouring. Will Del Val be scoring?

These and other corny rhymes for those who can't make the soggy drive to New Jersey.
