FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[maAggie]

Thanks Aggies for the amazing display of great football that we were treated to today! Matt Cook you were awesome and congrats to you on setting a new TD record, Mike Isgro--what more can be said, you have been so good over the years that it would seem you couldn't surprise us, but you make it look so easy at times that it's just silly! Goose, 12 tackles??? You were out of your mind today...Squittiere and Whiteside both were awesome and the guys who subbed in in the 2nd half did yourselves proud with your performances as well...over 640 yards of offense and a school record setting 66 points....sooooo much fun to watch!

In case Susquehanna forgot what a MAC beat-down felt like, they were quickly reminded of why the ran from the conference...

Once again the MAC did themselves proud with wins by Albright and Leb Val today, congrats to all...Nice way to end an excellent season for LVC....

Aggies need to find a new level of intensity to bring next week when Albright comes back to Doylestown, bring it early and often guys!

Good showing today by the MAC conference.  You guys proved why you were the best conference this year in the East today.

Good luck to the winner of the DVC/Albright game!

delval fans, nice win yesterday.  i almost feel like delval is my second team since I have seen them play 5 times the past 2 years.  good luck this week against albright, a game I saw this year, which I expect you to win and then on to alliance.  I will be very interested in how you do there.  the way things are lined up, we may see each other again with a shot for the stagg bowl, that would make for a fun day in dover.

I wonder if you remember the days not too long ago when Susquehanna inflicted a "MAC beat-down" on a good many teams, including the Aggies.

pbr remembers them warren all too well....that is why we are enjoying the run. it started w/ coach mangus and now coach clements and staff are looking to push further into the playoffs.

Sorry to upset you Warren....... but everybody put a "beat down" on the Aggies back then! Ancient history as far as the foorball world goes!

Give the Del Val squad the props they deserve! In today's world it's "what have you done for me lately?" and lately the Aggies have done quite well.

If those two teams that played Saturday played 10 times this year it would be the same story each game. Susquehanna was overmatched, outplayed, out hustled, outhit and out coached and in the end just flat "quit"

The Aggies have "earned" every award they have garnered past and present.

I have fond memories of a 77-7 beatdown of those Aggies in '94...

u better hold onto those memories from 15 years ago as this loss is what people are going to remember for a long long time....not a dvc team that won zero games that year giving up that many points. this year was 2 conference champions going head to head and having that bad a performance speaks volumes....good luck next year in your new league.

pbr,

isn't there some bad blood between SUS and Delaware Valley from a newspaper article when SUS was making the switch to the Liberty League??

I heard it mentioned academics or something and may have played a role in this game --- a Harbaugh vs. Pete Carroll situation.

not sure it was bad blood per se....eventhough susquehanna would not go on record they let it be known that they were leaving the league because in their minds they thought they were above many of the teams academically in the mac. they wouldnt be able to compete against many of the teams because they werent able to recruit like athletes. when in most peoples minds that pbr talked to from many of the mac schools from admin/teachers/students/alumni it was susquehanna  wouldnt make the commitment to compete. they had their teeth kicked in for many years and knew they really werent going to be able to compete in a very tough conference. at the time dvc was rising from the ashes, lyco and widener were very tough as well. kings and wilkes also were having solid teams so when you look at your chances to win they were juniata and leb val..... plus a whatever weak sister  ooc games they could schedule to prop up their record. so they would have to make a commitment for a very good coach who could recruit in their view top academic/athletes or look to move to a different conference. they obviously chose the latter....but that necessarily wasnt the pay back for dvc it was from the 2006 season when a bad susquehanna team came to dvc and knocked them out of the playoffs in the qb mike isgro's freshmen year.

OK, I keep hearing that refrain and I don't get it... I understand it sucks to get taken out by a lesser team when you're nationally ranked and have that keep you out of the playoffs, but the tone is as if Susquehanna did some horrible injustice to Del Val. Should the Crusaders have just forfeited the game so you could keep your ranking and go to the playoffs? Isn't that why they play games? To win? No matter how many games a team has won they should never give up and roll over because another team is "better"... ask a bunch of NFL teams this season (i.e. the Bengals and Steelers yesterday...)

I can understand DVC holding a grudge for us leaving the MAC if they think we think we're better or something... but holding a grudge for not rolling over and playing dead back in '06? sorry, don't buy it.

BTW, Del Val was clearly the better team... I don't begrudge them the win. I do think the touchdown before halftime was tacky, though. *shrugs*

nah grove susquatch did exactly what they were supposed to do in 2006. they came in and won period. my point is that this years dvc seniors hadnt forgotten about that game as it was what many thought the last dvc/susque game. dvc wouldnt have a chance to make up for falling short the following year since susque was moving on to another conference,  thats all. susque did nothing wrong in fact obviously did things right they won the game. but for this years dvc seniors they never forgot that game as they were heavy favorites and thought they would never get another shot at susque to show them how good they could play.

OK, makes more sense when you put it that way. I forgot that was our last year in the MAC. Geez, time has flown.

"TheGrove"

A couple of points : Your team made up for it this past Saturday, they rolled over and played dead the whole second half!

Tacky??? did you say tacky??? I guess the Aggies were supposed to rollover at that point? Your team had the opportunity to run out the clock and go into half licking their wounds. In fact, I thought they were. with just over a minute to play and starting in their own territory they ran the ball for a short gain and then called time out.
Soon after, another interceptrion sets Del Val up near midfield. I tuned to my wife and said now we can take a couple of shots at the endzone...... It only took One!!!
