Ugh - the same thing that plagued the Warriors in their MAC losses - turnovers - showed up on a snowy and cold upstate NY football field.

I have not read the story line but you cannot win at this level by giving the ball away - it deflates your morale, gets you zero points, often gives your opponent better than average field position.  Need I say more?

My heartiest congratulations to Albright and DVC who finished as winners.

For Lycoming to be in the playoffs and a tri-champ of the MAC is a remarkable accomplishment that should not be lost like they did with the possession of the rock today.

Hats off to Coach Clark and now let's get those hot recruits who may be tempted to spend their years in Reading, Doylestown, Annville, Chester, or Wilkes-Barre.

Thanks for a good season Warriors!

Hail Lycoming!!!

This is true.  Congrats to Lyco, you guys gave us a tough game, but it's hard for any team to win - especially in the play-offs - if you throw 4 INTs.

Congrats on a great season and good luck in 09.

Congratulations go out to the Delaware Valley Aggies  and the Albright Lions on their impressive victories over two of the NJAC's best teams.  To see the Albright team bounce back from the loss they suffered last week and completely take it to Monclair State was impressive. Their players should hold their heads high for that effort against a team that many were shocked not to get an at large bid to the NCAA playoffs.

What the Aggies defense did yesterday was truly impressive. They held a team that was averaging 33+ points a game  to one lone 4th quarter touchdown. Kean was able to move the ball through the air gaining almost 200 yards in less than ideal conditions but the Aggies completely shut down their ground game limiting them to a paltry 31 yards all day long. On a day when moving the ball on the ground and eating up clock was paramount the Aggies certainly proved superior on both sides of the ball.

Sitting in the stands, on a cold and windy day, was well worth it to see the boys of fall give it one more go! The Delaware Valley football team has given me and my family four great years of memories that we will cherish for years to come. Coach  Clements should be commended for his hard work and dedication along with his staff. I shall truly miss these  times but hopefully will attend an Aggies game from time to time in the future.

I believe that most MAC observers would agree that over the last four weeks of the  season the Aggies were by far the most dominant team in the division. It's a shame that they suffered those two blips on the radar in mid season but that's football. Good teams respond to adversity and the Aggies certainly proved that they are a truly good team. It's nice to go out on a winning note so maybe it's just as well they didn't get the NCAA bid

Congrates also to Lyco on a nice effort at Hobart. I believe the MAC teams all represented themselves with pride and earned the MAC some props!

Well, the 2008 MAC football season has come to a close. Congrats again to the tri-champs in DVC, Lyco, + Albright. Additionally, big props to the Aggies and Albright on their ECAC championships over two NJAC teams. It looks as if the once mighty NJAC is merely a shadow of it's previously powerful self. Both MAC teams owned their NJAC opponents and deserve a great deal of credit for their performances. All too often the ECAC game seems to be a let-down to those teams whose aspirations included the NCAA's, but both Albright's seniors, and Del Val's class of '09 didn't allow that to happen and went out with a Championship win.

This season was quite a rollar coaster and as usual nothing could be taken for granted in the highly competitive MAC conference.  As was previously stated, it was a priviledge and pleasure to be an Aggie fan over the past 4 years. They certainly were a thrill to watch and I will miss Saturdays in PA. It's funny how things turn out, as my son was recruited by the highly regarded GA Mangus, and decided to stay and finish his career at Del Val under the untested Jim Clements. It was a good decision and our family is proud to have our son play for the young coach. He is a principled man who had the unenviable task of following GA, the man who turned the Aggies program into a winner. For him to win the MAC and ECAC game in just his 3rd year as head coach, is something of great pride. Another thought that struck me as I watched the MAC's Offensive Player of the Year on Saturday; here's a kid who came in as a Freshman and had to take over for a guy who was one of the best QB's in D-III history (according to the record books). His freshman year was certainly not an easy one, but my how far he's come! Hat's off to Mike on an outstanding season and congrats to him and all the Aggies on their post-season awards.

Thanks for the memories Aggies! They are all good ones...here's hoping the 2009 season brings another MAC championship and a return to the NCAA's!

Crazy Question:
I was wondering if anyone by chance would have a copy of the 2002 Mud Bowl 4 overtime game between FDU an DVC. The game was played at FDU. I have been in touch with both programs. DVC's tape ended up being no good and FDU cannot find the tape. Just wondering if any parents had a copy.....Any help would be great...Thanks

remind me of this next week....I'll look into it, but I have a feeling that the tape was destroyed due to poor conditions....

I just finished ransacking the closet for the 2002 game. It's not there; none of it - no wide, no tight, no checkerboard....
Could be a conspiracy  :D

I was not coaching at FDU that season, but I think the tapes didn't make it.....

congrats to dvc's wrestling team who put a beatdown on 2 Division I programs over the weekend and showed they are worthy of their #3 ranking nationally.
