Admittedly, It took me several minutes to figure this out....(I'm a little slow)

Awesome 

[bill]

Don't forget the gritty streets of downtown Madison, NJ. The police here sometimes have to issue parking tickets and field noise complaints....

I hear the police have been issuing tickets for that run defense 

That's assuming the police can even find said perpetrators... maybe the MP's should issued an AWOL report!

Bill - I know the men's hoops team was very young and has just about everybody back. Did the women's team reload in a big way? I know they get Crooms (sp) back after the knee injury and they had a few other stud underclassmen behind the Dayon twins.

[bill]

Well....yes, the guys bring everyone back, and there are a few players with a chance to make an impact as freshmen.

As for the ladies, we'll see

Yes, Rachel Groom is back from her knee injury, and don't forget (who could) Shalette Brown. In my opinion, she's one of the top returners in the nation, period.  We'll have to see how they gel as a team. I can say this - there are quite a few physically impressive ladies new to the team. We definitely got taller. Practice only began Thursday, so they're going to need to crank things up.  I'm rather hopeful that we'll be back in a big, big way.

There is only one of the 3 games that should be interesting this week. If the underdogs in the other 2 should pull an upset it would be HUGE.

Widener by 17
Albright by 21

Kings vs Lyco - Kings goes pass and hits then it will be a VERY long day for Lyco I think. Kings stays or is forced to the run and it will be a closer game. Still Kings by 7

[kate]

Congrats to King's - final score Lyco 26/King's 30!

At least you said "one of"... because the top returning player in both men or women is Sydney Moss.

Dave

Oh don't worry, I haven't forgotten about her. She's in a class all by herself. That's why I said "one of"...I'd put Shalette somewhere in the top 10....

Del Val's Rasheed Bailey has signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars and is currently on their practice squad!  Congrats to him!!!  Are you watching Eagles?

[bman]

Mid week already and no commentary on this weeks slate of games....which is awesome!  Essentially Albright will look to put themselves totally in the driver's seat, with a win against Del Val.   Del Val's hopes pretty much end with a loss...
Winner of Widener-Stevenson still has hope, and Stevenson's fate lies in their own hands still...if they win on Sat...
And Lyco FDU should be a good one...

Let's have some predictions!

...and it too early for Basketball on this board....

[Simba]

After listening to both Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" and Peter Frampton's "Frampton Comes Alive" albums,  I am now in "Simba Pi" mode to make my predictions...

Lyco by 10 (Need 4 in a row to break even)
King's by 14
Wilkes by 3
Widener by 14
Del-Val by 7

Now it's time to "Get the Led out" and play "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "Dazed an Confused" with these picks!

Simba

[wone3]

OK I'm going to make my actual picks and place my hoped for scenario after it....

Lyco should beat FDU by 14-21 pt range
Kings over Misercordia - I agree with Simba only cause Kings O is doing not much 14 points
Lebanon Valley 3-10 point range winners (Leb Valley has the D, they just need to find their O)
Del Valley vs Albright- Albright by 7-10 point range tho could be even 14
Stevenson-Widener - hate to say it with Family/Homecoming weekend(yes I'm at that game to watch it and my kid at halftime band show) but Widener will squeak it  out by 3-7 point range but definitely no more that 10. Stevenson lost to Widener last year up there by 11 (34-23) and improvement should be on both sides but I think slightly more for Stevenson to make it closer.

My ideal tho would be for both Del Valley and Stevenson to pull it out and turn this to a 3 horse race with only a few weeks left and make the Nov 3 game at Stevenson vs Albright even more interesting and have to wait thru including the last week with the Widener/Del Valley match up.

Either way it has been a fun and interesting year for sure.

Delaware Valley looks really good right now against Albright, moving at a different speed.
