FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

any delval fans heading to alliance, i highly recommend the wing warehouse near campus.  hugh wings with plenty of sauces to choose from.  also, take skunks up on his offer, great guy to hang with and he does know a little football.  the mount guys that post on here are all really great guys.  enjoy the trip and good luck this weekend.

My buddy is part owner of the Wing Warehouse, thanks for the free advertisement for him! 

[wesleydad]

been there twice and will always recommend it to anyone going to alliance.  figured i was going to meet the gang there this year until the seedings came out.  oh well, alliance is on the agenda next year for a road trip if i can swing it.

Skunks:

Yep, I'll be there.  I'm traveling with the team so my itinerary is somewhat up in the air, but I'll make a case for the Wings Warehouse.

I've met a bunch of the Mount Union guys before and can vouch for them, too.  Good people.

dlip thinks the Gulls will be more than Del Val can handle, especially with the loss to Widener. To dlip, that proved that Del Val was clearly not as "elite" as he had thought they were throughout the season.

dlip would be wrong it seems...Agies defense deserves much credit for containing the explosive Seagull offense. They showed great discipline today and came up big when needed. It also helped that the offense owned time-of-possession!

Congrats Aggies!

alright pbr is back from vaca...and your correct maAggie...as pbr has caught up some reading...dlip and u89 should do us all a favor and crawl under a rock and disappear....LD showed he has great knowledge and realized that 1 game against a traditional rival should not reflect the whole season...DVC is the best team in the east this year....PERIOD! (depending on whether people include Wesley in the east or south) Montclair/Cortland are close but not quite there....but honest to god reading some of this 'ish and garbage that was posted made pbr wander whether some of these people had any football knowledge or were blowing bones all day w/ cheech and chong. The overreactionby some was insane...What sux by losing that game is now we know who they have to play and pbr would of liked them steamroll the rest of the east before taking on da U...

O.K. pbr, U89 and dlip know nothing about football and our football picks/opinions are ish and garbage because our picks are different from yours or because they went against your team? wa wa wa cry dlip a ****ing river dick. Next time Del Val does not want to be questioned tell them not to lose to a ****ing **** team in Widener the week berfore the playoffs...injuries or not. If a team loses to Widener and then faces a team that played Wesley as good, if not better than Del Val, dlip wouldn't say it's garbage to pick them to to lose. dlip is hoping the Aggies can give Mount all they can handle...but he shouldn't even express an opinion or thought though dickhead unless it corresponds with yours 

what a f'n tool....what are u next gonna tell us how much u bench press and run a blazin' 40? don't choke on it while your smokin' your bone...could f'n care less who you pick but when u can't see the forest through the trees well that shows your intelligence...go stick jug a nice jug of merlot down your throat and play jenga w/ the rest of those tools and fools from da U and tell anyone who listens and cares anymore about how union was relevant back in the 70s and ruled eastern football....

Whatever pbr, this does not seem like the type of posts you usually post, most are solid, but fine. Bottom line is, is that we are all pulling for Del Val, so let's hope they make some serious noise in Alliance.

Amen to that, Dlip, and thanks for the good wishes for the Aggies!  Pretty much guaranteed that PBR, and all DVC fans remaining here will be listening to Gordon's call of the game - GO AGGIES!!!

[seventiesraider]

Wanted to add my welcome as well if your coming to Alliance. If you walk by the main entrance be sure to stop and say Hi to the old guy standing along the wall wearing the black number 99 Mount jersey, that would be me.

Gordon,

Stop by the north end of the box and say howdy.

[DVCFan11]

GAMEDAY. lets get it Aggies, shock the world today

[kate]

Good solid season for Del Val, winning the MAC and going into the second round of the NCAA's!  Congratulations to all the players and coaches.  Great coverage from Gordon, too!  (still wish Mr Mann could cover an Aggie women's b'ball game down the line).  GO AGGIES!!!

[seventiesraider]

A good strong performance by the Aggies. They battled hard for a half but lack of depth started to show in the second half. Here's hoping they can continue to build on what they have. They certainly have Mount Union's respect

[maAggie]

Great season Aggies! Good effort today against a superior athletically talented team! Thanks to all the seniors for four great years of football!

[Lyco80]

I did not listen to the game and have been mostly absent from here since the end of the regular season and with it any opportunity for Lycoming to continue playing.

The box score reads as if MU had their way with DVC on the ground but the time of possession is fairly close.

Was DVC that one dimensional?  Did MU dominate the play?

It is hard to tell from the line score too.

Like I said earlier in the year - MAC teams do not travel all that far outside the conference - I think it must have something to do with the coaches, strategy, game-planning, and of course, players.

MAC football - and this from 30 years of watching it - is usually founded on gritty defense and an offense that is either pass or rush oriented - but not usually both.

When  you look across the NCAA D3 teams you see playoff scores that often look like a basketball game.  That is not typically what we see from MAC teams.

This post is not directed at any one team or MAC program but is my overall assessment of how things roll for our schools both regular season and in the playoffs.

Congratulations to DVC on a stellar year and here's to the Vick Experience continuing into the playoffs for Philly!

Del Valley's main RB was really banged up, but gave a heck of an effort, the QB was also abused throughout the game and really banged up, but hung in there and gave a great accounting of himself.  I heard a DV fan say that Mount was the only team that matched up with the Aggies speed, and Mount's was better at every position. 
I am a lifelong Mount follower and have to give great respect to DV and the effort.  Actually with a first and goal inside the  2 and a chance to tie at 7, a false start pushed them back to the 7 and they could not get in. FG, but Mount returned ensuing KO 40  yards and took it in before half and it was all over as Mount's D was not giving up anything.  Del Valley defense was solid, physical and played their butts off.  The score does not give an indication of their effort.  Probably the best team Mount has seen all year, and the best game Mount has played all year.

Hope the Aggie fans enjoyed their visit to Mount Union (less the loss) and had safe journey home.  They have a team to be proud of...
