FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

I will be driving to the Eastern Shore of Maryland for Labor day weekend. Saw that Albright will be playing Salisbury. May get a chance to see some good action.

Salisbury has just built a nice new facility

The new stadium Salisbury has built looks great, and is likely on of the top facilities in d3 football. I still believe that Stevenson's facility is better! The best stadium has to be hands down the recently built facility at UMHB!

Less than two weeks from now on Sept. 2, the DVU Aggies will be in Dover playing Wesley.  Should be a good game - any comments, trash talk, anything???  It'd be great if this weather broke.  Good luck to ALL the MAC teams in this 2016 season!!!

Looking forward to the Wesley/DVU game. It should be a good game. I would not be surprised if DVU wins.

Looking forward to week 1 for the MAC! The DVU/Wesley and Albright/Salisbury games should provide a good OOC measuring stick for conference contenders to gauge how the MAC ranks against other conference powers. Other games, such as Kings/Moravian and LVC/FMC should give the rest of the conference a good indication if the MAC will have depth or be top heavy this year. Finally, the Misericordia/Utica game should give a glimpse of how far the bottom portion of the conference has improved and could be telling of truly how far apart the gap is for those bottom teams to become a contender both in conference and regionally.

Wesley returns plenty of playmakers on the nation's top offense from 2015. Shade, Okike, Kemp and Baynard will keep DVUs hands full. Even without Callahan I see Wesley getting into the 30s in points. The question will be how much Wesleys defense has improved from 2015. They left a lot to be desired.

Pep had the pleasure of visiting the UMHB house a few weeks ago. Outstanding venue...visitor stands are exceptional seating and view of the field. While Pep didn't go into the Press Box, from a distance it was apparent that there wasn't anything they hadn't thought of. Haven't experienced a game there so can't really judge game day atmosphere/experience, but the facility certainly lends itself to a fun day at the stadium!

Pep also visited venues at Franklin College, IN and Clemens Stadium in Collegeville, MN (home of the Johnnies) in his recent coast-to-coast excursion.

They're all nice, but Pep is partial to "The Pit," aka Merrill Field aka Yunevich Stadium, sandwiched between Pine Hill and the shores of the Kanakadea.

Anyone who will be traveling to  Dover Friday for the Wesley/Del Val game give yourself a bit of extra travel time. The traffic is brutal down rts13 and 1 with shore traffic especially with the holiday. Safe travels

Let's face it...traffic is always brutal on 1, 13, 113, sometimes 9, and 1a....

I would be blown away given what Wesley brings back and what they brought in!!

I could QB Wesley to a 10-0 record this year..........and I'm 46 and never played the position. I don't think anybody gets within 10 points of Wesley this year..........until the second or third round of the playoffs.

I think that winning a conference like the MAC is most program's "Superbowl" given the level playing field (for the most part) within the conference. I'm not sure building a super power is very high on the list of most of the president's within the conference.

Hyperbolic optimism. I think Wesley will have one, maybe two, games that are decided by 1-2 td's in conference play. I'd go with SU being one of those teams, and the other being Rowan, or surprisingly FSU.

You don't really think Wesley could just run the ball to 10-0, do you?
