Considering the bad experience Stevenson had at Widener outside of the game, joking about the hubcaps won't go over well with them.

What happened? Kindly clarify.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

From what I remember, some people or another team got into their locker room during the game and most of their stuff was dragged into the showers and they found it all wet. But I think it may have just been one of the two locker rooms they had... can't remember all of the details. I just remember it was not a happy team leaving Widener that day and they were rather delayed as well in their departure. I purposely didn't keep track of what happened considering several factors.

[Warren Thompson]

Thanks, d-mac.

Leb Val coming off their bye week explodes on FDU Florham  41-14

Stevenson pushes back, but can't break through, loses to Widener 35-20 (adding insult to injury, their bus has it's hubcaps stolen in Chester when stopping for cheesesteaks ::

LVC came off their bye week last week and "exploded" on Wilkes at Wilkes, 46-0.

Are the cheesesteaks in Chester good enough to risk the team bus hubcaps? Advise soonest .... 

Nope!  Have to go a bit further north...

I remember hearing something about that, but you seem to know more details about it than I.  I believe there was also some interesting things that happened on the field with coaches too, namely Hottle flopping to the ground like a fish out of water before a play and Widener's coaches doing what they did at the time, which was run up the score.  It was so bad that OC Charles Eger got in a shouting match with one of Widener's fans who was upset that they were throwing the ball up 30 in the fourth quarter.

Wow

Board collapsed this week...How about some prdictions to lighten the mood:

Leb Val coming off their bye week explodes on FDU Florham  41-14

Stevenson pushes back, but can't break through, loses to Widener 35-20 (adding insult to injury, their bus has it's hubcaps stolen in Chester when stopping for cheesesteaks )

Lycoming takes frustrations out on Misericordia 51-7 (Simba tries to dress for the game but is stopped by NCAA officials)
Kings holds Del Val to 28, but can't score and loses to the Aggies 28-7

Albright takes an early lead, buoyed by last weeks OT thriller, and holds off a strong Wilkes charge winning 35-31

In non league action Wesley beats College of Faith 239-3   
and Mount Union beats whoever is next...by 70

bman - This board does die during the week..................I am jealous of the activity on the Empire 8 board

You talk about Chester being tough, I was on the mean streets of Doylestown last night and saw someone jaywalking AND another person litter. What is this world coming to?

If the weather stays this miserable throughout the afternoon, don't be surprised at the outcome of the DelVal vs. Kings game.

Oh, and Simba isn't suiting up today..............he stuffed defensive coach's Weser and Wiser into a trunk and will be calling the game. Although against Misericordia, probably not necessary

LebVal - 38     FDU - 7
Widener - 37   Stevenson - 14
Lycosimba - 38    Miserableicordia - 14
DelVal - 24      Kings - 21
Albright - 28    Wilkes - 27

Wesley - 86 - College of Faith Just As Good As Wilmington Per Waterboy On The Much Busier Empire 8 Board - 0
Mount Union - 42    Youngstown State - 10
Whitewater - 38      University of Wisconsin - 30
UMHB - 45       Texas - 35

Stay safe, dry and warm today...........and tomorrow..................let's go Eagles!!!!

Oh yeah..........."How 'bout dem Cowboys?"

[jmcozenlaw]

Gordon - Is Kings the last MAC holdout in not offering video coverage of football games?

[Simba]

bman & Jay...You Funny!

For the record, I'll be meeting with our Governor all afternoon in Skook County. I told him last week that the only way he'll win on Tuesday is if he comes up to visit us at Vito's for pizza and Lager's and we'll discuss...He'll be here at noon!

Ok, remember, the opposite picks below should do well here today!

Pride by 35
Aggies by 38
Warriors by 28
Dutchmen by 30
Colonels by 14

Keep warm in the stands today...

It actually wasn't Hottle... it was an assistant... and it was part of the play which tricked the defense as Stevenson which got the first down. Then the ref flagged the QB for a penalty on the play and basically admitted he was wrong later. It was a strange, strange game all around.

That's right, I forgot all about the first down.  Certainly one of the more original diversions I've ever seen.

I didn't know that happened...that stinks.  I have never seen the locker room doors unguarded...wonder how that happened.  I'd figure it was students if it was DV or Lyco, given the rivalry, but there certainly isn't any animosity with Stevenson(yet...).  Wonder if its the same ones that stole my car in the 80's...

There have been several issues with Fans over the years...part of the issue is that the new stadium, while nice, creates a chokepoint in getting out.  It forces away fans/coaches through the gauntlet of WU fan etc...and to walk side by side in many cases.  There was never any of that at the old venue...most of the visitors' parking was on the visitors side, and there was an open walk across the field hockey field, to the street/cars.  Most of the WU students/fans, disbursed back into the campus behind the old home stands...
good luck all today and safe travels...

Ahh, the good old days...

Kings seems unimpressed with the Aggies...
Upset in the making?
Rain and wind must be playing havoc with the DVD aerial attack...

bman & Simba - Not a lot of time to type as I have to thaw out and head out to dinner.

Who predicted the DelVal vs. Kings score right on the head??

I was there and will give you a few observations later.

[gordonmann]

I didn't realize King's didn't have video until I saw the question posed to me after the game. King's SID Bob Ziadie and his team do a superb job but they have limitations with the press box. So I understand if they don't do video.

Great effort by King's who fought til the end, even after falling behind by 17. Del Val killed itself with penalties, particularly on the offensive line, and got three points total out of three chances to score TDs. Very unlike them.

You have to be very good and a little lucky to have a special season.  Del Val was just enough of both today.

[gordonmann]

JM:

Wow! You hit the score exactly! For your next test, what color is my sweatshirt?
