FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[PBR...]

>>>However, if this were a mutual fund, where would your money be<<<    I can guarantee you I would be shorting lyco!!! they are falling quicker than tyco....point of interest how does dvc's winning percentage the last 3 years compare to lyco's?

Upset Special!!!!!!

Delaware Valley will go down this weekend for two reasons.

1.  They are slightly overrated, I say 18th in the Nation not top 10
2.  I am still slightly bitter at the Fisher game in the playoffs last year, I can admit it

Fellow Posters,
I feel LCCALUM, brings some good ideas to the forefront.  The question that must be asked, pursuant to posters who claim,"if it ain't broke, don't fix it", is why are certain programs entertaining leaving the MAC.  Is it because they feel they can't field a competitive team?  If you're competing in a league where there is recruiting parity, you will certainly increase your odds for success.  For those posters living in LALA land thinking there is academic paridy within the MAC, you are misinformed.  You know and I know there are programs in the MAC that have players that would not be accepted at some of the other MAC schools.  Albeit, these are individual school decisions that substantially effect their ability to recruit the best athletes.  A school that accepts marginal students vs a school that doesn't, has a distinct advantage on a Saturday afternoon.  The proposal LVCALUM is bringing to the forefront, would certainly level the playing field.

Pat,

All the more reason to try to pick up a 12th team.  Any possibilities?

Billman56,

The reason I made my post was because of all the posts I had read indicating that up to 4 schools had applied for membership in other conferences.  I think the sudden departure of more than 1/3 of the MAC's football playing institutions would be a serious blow to the conference, even if those schools were not historically successful in terms of wins and losses.  Besides, it's a Middle Atlantic Conference discussion board, and I was discussing the Middle Atlantic Conference.

Bman,

My pop is on his way down for the Widener homecoming festivities tommorrow. I think there will be a nice contingent of PMC grads on campus.

Who's the favorite on Saturday?  Are you doing any of the homecoming stuff on Friday and Sat?  Maybe you'll run into him and my Mom.

Guys
I could go on for quite some time about this one, but here it goes -
1. Most of these league discussions about who belongs with who in what league go on at the presidential level, not at the coach or even AD level. In fact, that's why the first version of the MAC football was set up the way it was. It had absoultely nothing to do with geography, and everything to do with whose president didn't like who.
Moravian was angry that they didn't leave (get in) to the centennial. The former presidents of Widener and Susquehanna thought that they were above everyone else, and didn't want to be associated with the likes of a DVC, Upsala, Wilkes, and FDU. They also didn't like Lycoming for a number of reasons (including getting beat often), and put the ridiculous combination of Upsala, DVC, FDU, Kings, Wilkes, and Lyco in the same football conference. (Ridiculous by geography , that is)
2. I know this is a DIII football site, but there are other sports out there. It upsets other schools when teams in the conference throw ALL of their resources into one or two sports, and can barely field teams in the other 14-16 sports. That's another reason why schools get upset with each other....
Gotta run

Before I forget to remember...

You can catch the dueling QBs on Saturday as John Port and the Lions look to get back on track against Adam Knoblauch and the Aggies.

Pregame begins at 12:30 PM with kickoff at 1 PM on www.sportsjuice.com.

Also, for those who care (and those who don't), the Aggies recap of the FDU-Florham game is posted on the team site here.

[PBR...]

game face on for albright!!!   GO AGGIES!!!!       No more coming out of the gate slow its time to step up and lay the lumber to them and drop 21 pts. on them in the 1st qtr and put the game away early!!!

[WUDLINE]

Lyco 80
I certianly will argue that the program at WU has generated a much successful output as your Warriors. Even the bad years at WU have not been like the back to back seasons in Williamsport. I will agree with your point about it being early to throw it in. Coach G is an excellent coach and will eventually right the ship. Hopefully for your sake it will be sooner and not later.

[Chum Slam]

Once again, I HATE LYCOMING ! also DVC is not a top 10 team. Their record might be a top 10 record but if you matched them up against any of the top 10 teams in the country they would be dismantled. We saw what happened last year when they played a decent team in Rowan. Not pretty. and once again, I HATE LYCOMING.

[PBR...]

chum slam thats why its decided on the field and we will see if dvc makes it into the final 10 period....that simple and obviously they are the class of the mac and you may not like it but facts is facts....

[Chum Slam]

Right now they are the class of a tough MAC. Not for long though, they do not have the talent to stay at the top for long. I wish them all the luck in the world IF they make the playoffs. Like last year I will be at their playoff games rooting for them.


On a lighter note....LYCOMING SUCKS !!!!!!!  ahahahahaha Take your junk school and junk town and just burn it to the ground.

[maAggie5]

MoJo: That's just stupid! That's the excuse Notre Dame used and look at them now? Seems like it just takes the right coach to me!

[boobyhasgameyo]

MaAggie,

     I dislike Charlie Weiss with a passion.  I don't think he will keep winning, you heard it here first Notre Dame will lose 3 more games before this season is over

[Chum Slam]

I cant stand Notre Dame and I am not a big Weiss fan. But what he did for that kid and his family, the one who was dying of cancer, was one of the classiest things I have ever seen someone do. Charlie Weiss is a good man.
