FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[MOJO]

Bossman,
Pursuant to your inquiry concerning LVC, I will admit I was somewhat surprised.  I expected them to get past Gettysburg.  I did not get to the game, as I had to be out of town for the holiday.  I did listen to the game over the internet and I would attribute the success of Gettysburg to the return of Coach Streeter and the ability
of making the big play.  Gettysburg is a far different team with Streeter at the helm than without.  In reference to your comment concerning this being the usual LVC team,  I still believe this team will finish in the top half of the MAC this season.  Considering this statement, if coming to fruition, would be a big jump for LVC.  LVC historically has had some great players, ie: in 2003 they won one game, however, offensively one could make the argument their skill players were as good as any in the league.  Defensively they were challenged and they had 4 froshmen and one junior starting on the offensive line.  You can't put together a winning program with those type statistics.  This is the first year within recent memory that the school is
giving the program the tools they need to win.  ( 11 coaches and close to 100 kids in camp)  I still very much agree that DV appears to be the team to beat in the MAC.  My question to you is Moravian that good or has DV read too much of the press clippings and took Moravian for granted?

Macfan762: You have a selective memory of game day! Moravian was flagged 7 times for a total of 60 penalty yards including at least one unsportsman like for 15 yards.

Empire8fan: Did anyone ever find out why the St John Fisher Coach called that pass play in the fourth quarter that resulted in the interception and cost them the game against DVC in round 2 of the playoffs last season? For the life of me I can't figure what he was thinking... That QB didn't throw for 50 yards all game.. I guess he had a brain fart!!

i dont know, im a AU alum, i have no idea...

Mojo:

Moravian is very good.  They were selected high in the coaches' poll, got Top 25 votes in ours and certainly weren't overlooked by Del Val.

I don't think Del Val took them for granted.  Two good teams played each other and the outcome was close.  That's not an indictment of either squad.

By the way, congrats to former Aggie, now Rowan Prof Whetstone who -- like Matt Murphy -- intercepted two passes on Saturday.

It is now Tuesday, no more Monday Morning Quarterbacking....
What are the big matchups for this weekend? 
DVC plays FDU, could FDU go for the big upset like when they got Lycoming a few years back?  Over 100 players seems like a good start for that program. 

[gordonmann]

Of all the match-ups this week, I'd circle Leb Val and King's.  Both come of disappointing, but non-conference, openers so this is sort of like a fresh start.

If Leb Val is going to crack into the upper half of the conference, they have to win this game.  I'm surprised King's gave up as many points as they did to SJF, so we'll see how they fare against Kelly and company.

here here...bottom line is injuries and bad calls are a part of the game and good teams find a way to over come them. so cheers to dvc for a solid win against against a very good moravian team. i couldnt make the game but sounds like knoblauch should be called the ice man he is definetly cool under pressure... i am looking forward to a dvc-fdu game this week. it should be a good game. so enough with complaining about late hits and bad calls the game is over and the next game is on the horizon.

Gordon:

And let's not forget the OT finish to last year's LVC-King's game.

   Get over the late hit call and move on.....I saw the game and personally didnt feel it was that late of a hit. Unfortunately it hurt Moravian and so goes the game. It could have been Del Vals OB that went down also...thats the game they play...football. As a fan you should know this.

Bossman05 is right on the money with his comments.

This is a much faster game than the one we used to play and unfortunately injuries are more prevalent at this level.

[Billman56]

Gordon...Have we lost that many posters during the change to this new format??? I miss all the trash talk and hype....where is everyone???


Macfan762...The mark of a great team in my opinion is consistent winning....they try and do most everything right. By running it up on every opponet is not the sign of a great team. Saturdays game between Moravian and DVC was a good game.  I guess if Moravian ran it up on Del Val then they would be a great team in your opinion???  Every team has to put up with referees and thats something we as fans or even the team coaches cannot control so we have to live with their calls.   A romp through the MAC is winning each game as they come along. That is the mark of a Great team.  There is, in my opinion, no romping through the MAC as there exists so much parity in all the teams that once again "any given team, on any given Saturday..."

BTW.....who is the team you pull for week in and week out???

Considering that Kings had 19 starters back yeah im surprised as well....i figured w/ all that fisher lost the game would be much closer.

I believe it is clear that I've dropped the subject days ago.  I give you DVC guys credit.  You have a funny way of zeroing in on one aspect of a non-DVC fan's post and dwelling on it days after it is dropped.  However, other points like the inconsistency between DVC's good (not at all great) performance and the belief that the DVC 2nd team will see time against FDU get ignored.  Let's see what the season brings.

[PBR...]

macfan we may zero in but you dont answer the question....2 posts above your last post it is asked which team you pull for week in and out? but alas you dont answer and just continue to stir the pot....and yes dvc second teamers very well may see time against fdu this weekend. so pls enlighten us with your team and more of your wisdom and prediction of the outcome of the dvc/fdu game this weekend...

[macfan762]

In one of my earlier posts, I indicated that I was a fan of Moravian.  As for the pot, it seems to do a good job stirring on it's own.  I am new to this website and the posting area.  I think it would be much more interesting if other people would post objective views.  It gets a little boring trying to predict whether DVC will be good, great or tremendous on a particular weekend.  I am not a believer in trash talking, but that's just me.  Just remember, the more you guys pump up, the bigger the target.  A few years ago, everybody wanted to beat the Dallas Cowboys, now, nobody could care less.

I'd never thought I'd see the day that all anyone wants to talk about it Delaware Valley.  It used to be all of the Widener & Lycoming alums monopolizing the board.  BTW how good are they this year?  I saw Lyco has not played yet and opens with my favorite team this weekend.  Did Widener play and were they any good? 

[PBR...]

lyco who??? widener who??? never heard of those schools....
