FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[Mr. Ypsi]

I didn't see any of that coverage.  Anyone know if defensive TDs five games in a row by a single player is an all-division all-time record?  (Or at least d3 record?)  That just seems almost inconceivable to me.

(In his Heisman winning year as the first primarily defensive player to win, I don't think even Charles Woodson had more than 1 (or at most 2) such consecutive games.)

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

There have been a number of people trying to figure it out... but no one thinks anyone has done five... let alone four straight. However... no one can get any confirmation of anything.

Incredibly disappointing loss for the Aggies just now - in OT, to King's, 21/14.  Congrats to the Monarchs

Wow!!!

How about the Dutchmen this year, a close, until the end, victory @ Misericordia this week, but whats everyones opinion on their chances of winning their final 3 games (@ DVC, vs Stevenson, @ Albright)?

[Lyco80]

Dutchman,

I have a hard time seeing them win out - they have a stout defense but not much offense.

Of course, I have a vested interest in them losing a game or two. 

And, since I was in attendance at homecoming this weekend - wow - what a finish to the Lycoming - Albright game!

Tough one to lose for the Lions but what a pressure packed way to win - 24 seconds to go, fourth down, into a 20 mile an hour wind, and I think it was a 35 yard kick too. 

Anyway - a cold day in Williamsport but much warmer thanks to the lads - who really rallied late. 

Happy Halloween and All Saints Day to one and all.

I agree it will be a challenge especially with DVC and Albright ahead, and I'm hearing Wilmer will be back this week for DVC. I've seen all but one game this year for LVC and this is IMO the best defense it has had in a while, maybe even ever, but the Offense is shaky, i feel they have a top notch receiving core, its just they don't have a QB that can get them the ball as they have had in the past. Also congrats on the victory this past weekend over Albright, I'm sure the live stats i was following while at the LVC game do not do that thrilling game justice. I look forward to following the MAC the rest of this season.

No expectations this afternoon, just going to start out listening to Gordon's call of the DelVal/LebVal game.  At this point focused on Women's b'ball, But,  Good Luck, Aggies!

Huge congrats to LebVal winning in OT 34/31.  The best part for us, however, was listening to DVC Coach Hogan at the half talk about the Women's b'ball and their upcoming season.  How about the MAC!?   Like Gordon says, right now they look like the team of destiny.  I'm sure LebVal Nation is ecstatic!

A very nice win for the Valley, especially given that in recent years the Dutchmen had been "snake-bit" vs. the Aggies. It was also the 100th win for Coach Monos.

[gordonmann]

Congrats to Leb Val. I thought of you after the game, Warren.  Good to see Coach Monos and his team have this ride.

It's too late to edit my last post, but congrats to Leb Val on breaking into the Top 25.

[Warren Thompson]

It's too late to edit my last post, but congrats to Leb Val on breaking into the Top 25.

While it's nice, for the first time ever, to be nationally ranked, the recognition does pin an even larger target on the Dutchmen's collective back. Stevenson would dearly love to take down a ranked team that also occupies the MAC top spot (remember what I said weeks ago about  Stevenson being the little-noticed 800-pound gorilla in the MAC living room?). And, of course, there's the "small" matter of playing traditional rival Albright to end the season.

Wish we could have heard Gordon's call of the Aggie/Widener game yesterday!  We were in Annville watching our b'ball Aggie Women's team.  Truly sorry for Lebanon Valley's loss to Albright.  Congratulations to Del Val on that huge win!

[kate]

Huge good luck to our three MAC teams in their post season play on Saturday!  Lebanon Valley, please represent well and beat Wittenberg!  In the ECAC's Albright, take care of Juniata and Del Val, you can imagine what I'd like you to do to Franklin & Marshall!  .  Go MAC!
