FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[Lyco80]

On the Empire8 page the IC coach is quoted as saying he thought they would block the kick.

I would say you should try and do both - block the kick and attempt to save some time in case you need to try for another score yourself.

Funny - if you go to E8 the chatter is all about how IC could not mount a rushing attack and no one gives any props whatsoever to Lycoming for stuffing them.

Lycoming is not what the program was in the mid to late 1990s for sure but beating IC is a quality win particularly when you hold one aspect of their offense to minus yards.

I think the lads acquitted themselves nicely.

Go Yankees - Go Warriors!

This weekend on ITH (this Sunday @ 7:30 PM ET) we will interview a key player in the weekend's slate of games, as well as welcome Springfield College Head Coach Mike DeLong live at 8:10 PM ET.  We'll be discussing SC's reasoning behind leaving the E8, his views on the "weakness" of the East and the possibility of another year with MUC in the "eastern playoff bracket" (Coach DeLong is on the championship selection committee), among other topics.

Log on to www.inthehuddLLe.com this Sunday!

I agree that IC should have tried to save time, the whole "block the kick" thing is pretty lame...

It was a quality win vs IC for Lyco, make no mistake about it...

However I wouldn't hang your hat on shutting down Ithaca's run game.  In Ithaca's season opener vs a horrible St. Lawrence team they rushed for 98 yards on 36 carries and 61 of those came on two late Ithaca TDs of 30 and 31 yards...

Widener held them to 2.6 yards per carry and 74 yards overall...

The Ithaca team this year is horrible at running the ball...

[gordonmann]

Sort of quiet on here, but nonetheless...

Lebanon Valley (1-2, 0-0)
vs.
Delaware Valley (2-1, 0-0)

Forget about the overall records because it's a new season for both teams with conference play beginning.  You can hear the action starting with pregame at 12:40 here.

[Lyco80]

This board is way too quiet. 

Maybe this will liven things up a tad. 

I know we are only about a third of the way through the season but I could not be more pleased that DVC and Lycoming are tied for first in the MAC. 

The pre-season poll for Lycoming was a fourth place finish.

Perhaps there is some crow slowly roasting on a spit for those who doubted.

Perhaps not - time will tell - but for now - Go Warriors!

Go Yankees!

After one conference game, first and fourth are the same thing. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

[Lyco80]

Frankly, I do not see how I could be accused of getting ahead of myself with the various disclaimers in my post about it being early and all.

Also, since you rose to the hook, are you one of the preseason soothsayers who ranked them fourth and are now defending your previous position?

Like I said, time will tell, but at this point in the season, I am well-pleased at a 3-1 showing regardless of how many conference games have been played.

I like their chances at a much better showing than fourth and this early success may be a harbinger of this result.

We will just have to all stay tuned . . .

That's what Pep is forever telling the band!

Did you get Kickoff?

One conference game. Four teams tied at 1-0. First place is the same as fourth place right now.

[Lyco80]

Like I previously stated, "way too quiet in here."

[PBR...]

LETS GO DVC!!! No let up...Time to go take care of bizness

[gordonmann]

To PBR's point...

Delaware Valley (3-1, 1-0)
vs.
FDU-Florham (3-1, 0-1)

From the land of contingency plans, there are two links to our broadcast.  Try this one first.  If that doesn't work, try this one.  If that doesn't work, weep gently for me.

With any luck, we'll be on the air with pregame at 12:40 pm and kickoff at 1 pm.

[Lyco80]

Okay, Lycoming wins today 50-0 against Albright, and we are now 50% of the way through the season - all the baloney about conference games notwithstanding.  4-1 in a ten game season is halfway no matter how you slice the baloney.

It seems it may be time for people who picked the Warriors to finish 4th in the MAC to begin to reconsider their initial assessment.

Granted the real test for the Warriors will be when they meet the remainder of the MAC:  Widener, Wilkes, DVC, FDU, and LVC.

Still - 4-1 is a great halfway point and probably better than most predicted.

Way to Go Warriors!

Huh?    So lyco is 4-1 and as you say have by far their toughest games to play.
So if they go 1-4 that would put them at 5-5 for the year which would put them probably about in the middle of the conference right where some people predicted. Don't think anyone is going to retract anything until the season it complete and the ink dries. Note I don't think they will go 1-4 the rest of the way. I think based on how the MAC is shaping up they could win at least 3 of those games.


BTW....DVC is putting a beatdown on FDU right now.

[maAggie]

Beat down, Pbr...that's an understatement! School record for offensive yardage...perhaps the blue devils should show more respect to DVC...

On a different note-Lyco unless you finish first, the rest are last place...
