HA!.. well played...in fact your probably right as dvc got tired of pitching shutouts in the mac (not much of a challenge there...) and moved on to div I and II schools...

I think that's just a wee bit outside my driving territory.

HA! greyhound is your friend...(or ask the coach to jump on the team ride out there!) btw dvc is closing in on wartburg and augsburg as at the national duals took augsburg to the wall in a losing effort 25-17 in the semifinals but justified their #3 ranking by beating #4 Coe in the consolation brackets.

Good to see the DELVAL wrestlers will be well represented at nationals. I watched Rocky Mantella as a mere 45 pounder a long time ago.

What's up with the MAC teams? Del VAL and Lycoming both have open dates to fill and both declined to play Wesley? Widener couldn't decline Wesley's invite fast enough last year. You would think with the teams still needing games that a top non conference game opponent would be a good warm-up for the conference schedule.

Lyco bleeds BLUE and GOLD · February 27, 2009, 06:13:21 PM

PA_Wesleyfan,

Lyco has no open dates for the 09 season, Open with Rowan at home, then a trip Bridgewater, and then Susquehanna. Then MAC play.

Go Lyco

I was just suprised that they opted out of a oral agreement to play Wesley and pick up Rowan instead. It's possible that Del Val has filled out their scedule by now too. As good as Del Val should be it could have become a great rivalry with both teams recruiting the same areas in S.E Pa and and NJ

well based on who got the at large bids this year imho the judges showed that playing a tough schedule and being rewarded for that werent in that cards. they seemed to go strictly by record, unlike march madness where your rewarded for playing tough opponents the at large bids seemed to go to teams with 1 more win against a weak sister opponent and no one was rewarded for playing tough schedules. so as much as pbr would love to continue seeing a great rivalry form imo the judges have spoken and are encouraging teams to play weak opponents and pad your record.
