So, yes, Widener has changed from light blue to royal blue?

Royal is essentially the blue sported by the Indianapolis Colts (at least to my perception).

[Knightstalker]

Colts, Bills, Giants are all Royal Blue.

[Warren Thompson]

With all this talk anent 'royal blue,' I have to wonder if us regular folks might also merit a shade of our own ... say, 'commoner blue.'

Widener could call it endzone blue...

[bman]

For LVC

That might be Burgh Blue and Amish Amber ...all painted with Dutch Boy of course....!

[Warren Thompson]

Simba:

Thanks for the color photo. Widener is, indeed, attired in royal blue, white, and yellow -- though the color arrangement could be done more tastefully. *

bman:

Is 'Amish Amber' akin to 'Yuengling Yellow'? Advise soonest ....

-------------------------------------------------------------

* What does the Widener family think about this change of colors? Will they
go to court to remove their name from the institution? Let us know, please. It's a burning, if not colorful, issue.

Albright rolled easily this weekend.  Jon Port looked like him old self on saturday.  Congrats to him throwing for over 10,000 yards over his career making him eight all time in Divison III.  The Defense again looked solid.  They shut down Susquehana's offense.  Albright looks as if they are starting to gel.  They got Kings this weekend so we'll see.

MOJO and Warren,

Since we are gonna call a spade a spade... I am not a nice man... And the Juniata vs. LebVal game is the biggest pillow fight of the year..  Last year it was Lyco and Juniata...

Billman56--  Final comments:  you don't want to know who I root for period!

I'm sure all the voters of d3 top 25 have observed each and every team within the poll to "qualify" their choices for your approval of the poll results.

And the term "lame" best describes the team YOU root for pal.

PS:  Please direct all negative comments to the NJAC board.  Thank you!

ACMob, I haven't seen your Top 25 every week for comparison purposes. It ain't as easy as you think.

I will refrain from comment until I see the field and colors myself.. Personally, I have not heard much of anything.  The changes were not advertised well, nor were they reflected on any of the websites.

That is one complaint I have with WU...they hold onto info like precious stock tips...

[CJSJAGS]

I listened to the Albright vs Susquehanna game on the interenet from half time on.  I heard Rowlands' name called a few times. Did something happen to Albrights middle linebacker Minotti? 

[MOJO]

Patron 2,
The point I was trying to make is that although LVC and Juniata appear to be weak teams in the MAC, there are individual players on both teams that are quality athletes.  By making statements that these young men are losers offends me and I feel is a grossly inaccurate statement.  I'm sure that it's no easy task to make the commitment it takes to play college football, when you are on a losing team.  The fact that these young men make this commitment, in my opinion, makes them winners regardless of their record.  Personally Patron, the only one I am suspect of being a loser is you.

[Warren Thompson]

MOJO:

Consider the source and simply ignore Patron2.

Hello, fellow d3 fans!  I'm interloping from the ASC board this morning, as I'm planning to be at the Delaware Valley/Lycoming game Saturday taking photos for d3football.com--assuming I'm able to get back home from Texas (Rita is coming, Rita is coming!).

Sparing the bravado, can anybody give me some information on who the players to watch are on both sides?  What type of offense/defense does each squad run?  Any information that can help me capture the game effectively will be greatly appreciated.

And don't forget to check out the Photo Galleries link on the main page to see unedited samples of what I did this weekend at both the McMurry/Austin College game and the Hardin-Simmons/Louisiana College game.  These prints will be cropped, color/contrast corrected and sharpened before they are sent to players and parents that have purchased them.

Prints are available from those games, and will be available next weekend from the Lyco/Del Valley game.  100% of all the proceeds from the sale of these prints will go to support this website, so I hope that you'll be ordering early and often next weekend!
