It's more than that.

Some schools that are members of the ECAC choose not to participate in some playoffs, like the NESCAC schools.  But Lycoming isn't a member of the ECAC at all. I don't know why.

They probably don't want to pay the ECAC dues.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Don't forget, too, that the ECAC post-season is paid for by each individual institution... travel, hotels, meals, etc. Those are paid for or reimbursed by the NCAA. There are only about 150 schools who are in the ECAC compared to 443 schools in the NCAA.

Best luck on Saturday to the Del Val Aggies taking on Muhlenberg in an ECAC South game in Allentown!!!

I am rolling up to Chester tomorrow for the WU/SU showdown.   I will have my normal Nebraska "N" cap on.  Anyone from the boards that wants to stop by and chat, please do...
Good luck to both teams, and safe travels for those coming into town...

The world -- well, some of it -- wants to know why you normally wear a "Nebraska 'N' cap" instead of a bright blue "Widener 'W' cap."  [Do you maybe have 'Husker roots?]

[bman]

A very fair question.

To be brief...yes, I have some connections in Nebraska, that have had me following the Huskers for the better part of my life...and I have always loved the style of Nebraska football under Osbourne (not so much these days)...

And you have to admit, when you wear a Nebraska hat (with a Widener hoodie) to a Widener game, you're fairly easy to spot...

And, of course, if you wore a Widener hoodie and a Lyco or Del Valley hat to a Widener game, you just might be even easier to spot ....

bman, good luck tomorrow.  i think widener may be in trouble, but one never knows.  the ball bounces funny ways.  have to make the trip to wesley eventhough the game 10 mins away may be a better one.  just cant miss the possible last home game of the year, well unless all kinds of craziness happens.

Good Luck Widener next week and don't let nobody say you can't, because today you proved many people wrong. I'll be cheering you on. Let's show the North that you guys are for real.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  +K  It will take alot to overcome the next obstacle...but would love to see it happen!

[gordonmann]

Whatever happens next weekend, congrats to Widener on a great postseason showing. Very impressive W today.

[bill]

Congrats to Ike, Fett, and the staff at Widener.  I didn't think it would take too long to get things going there...Widener wants to win, and fully supports its program.  Great job!

[wesleydad]

congrats to widener for the run in the playoffs.  you have certainly solidified your ranking by your play so far.  now you get to take on the mighty mount.  good luck next week, enjoy the experience and give them a game, they will certainly be happy about it if you do since they have not had anyone step up so far and challenge them.  really nice people in alliance, have fun.

[SU Backer]

 Congrats to Widener, now pulling for you guys to win it all!
