Can't quite figure out who wrote the Del Val tuition quote, but according to the new Princeton Review, the Delaware Valley College tuition is $27,234.00.  That's not exactly what the quote stated.  Huge difference.

think he misspoke and meant tuition/board/books/etc....was 39K....but then again that person hasnt been spot on in a point yet so who knows...

Alfred will scrimmage Susquehanna at 7:30 p.m. Friday, August 27 (Lord willing, the grass "grows" and the creek don't rise). Pep remembers that in the past, AU has scrimmaged Cortland State and, years ago, Lycoming, quite regularly. This will be the second straight scrimmage with Susquehanna. A few years back, AU met Muhlenberg "half-way" in Binghamton.

Ithaca traditionally scrimmages Cornell....Pep saw that Widener has scrimmaged Penn in the past. Does that still happen, and if so, where and when do they meet? Pep would love to see his Saxons go up against an Ivy school but doesn't see that happening anytime soon. Forget the ivy, Pep would be happy if some grass would grow on that paved parking lot that they're calling Merrill Field.

Exactly what I meant.  After you add up tuition, room and board, fees, you are looking at almost 40K.

AU:

I'm not sure of the date for Widener/Penn but they normally play each other at Penn's historic Franklin Field.  It's a great old stadium - one of the oldest in the country - though it looks kind of funny with no one in the stands.  I watched some of the scrimmage a couple years ago when I was a grad student at Penn.

Union usually scrimmages Yale. He loves the step up in competition but all to often some major injuries have come from that scrimmage. It's a slippery slope.

Hello All, first time poster..looking forward to the season starting!  Can't wait for September 4th and the opener at Alfred.  I have heard that Widener will not be scrimmaging Penn.  Any idea on who and when?  I am assuming it is around the weekend of August 27th or 28th.  I would like to attend and see what the new regime has planned at Widener!

Welcome aboard, WU! Are you making the trip to Alfred? Right now, the only seats at Merrill Field are for the visitors. If you've never been to Merrill Field before, aside from a light pole at the 50-yard-line, the visitors' bleachers are built into the hill and give spectators an outstanding view of the action.

Meanwhile, on the "home side," the grandstand is beginning to take shape with a prefab press box waiting in the wings to be lifted to its rightful spot hanging over Kanakadea Creek.

Should you make the trip, WU, please be sure to touch base with the AU Pep Band....Pep is the peppiest one...and only one with gray hair!

Also, Pep is curious who Widener will scrimmage if not Penn.

On Saxon Warriors!

My confirmation is added to previous post - Franklin Field indeed - as a boy I watched the Eagles play there before the Vet was built and while in high school played a soccer game on the pitch too.

had to post this....

Down at the Outer Banks with the fam last week.   As I am sitting on the beach, a guy my age walks by with his family, and he's sporting a Lycoming lacrosse T shirt...as he passes, I look up and say "Dude, Lyco sucks"...and without missing a stride, he looks at me, and replies "You must have went to Widener"...

We both laugh, and he goes on by...never saw him again...

classic...
