Face-mask violation - Lycoming on the 33 now . . .

I certainly was not claiming Bwater influenced the panel in any way...I was simply illustrating my point that the NCAA cowers to any influential body, and there would be a graet example of how a influential body could change how the committe places teams.

I have issues with the NCAA in general, and the play-off commitee (as we all know) leaves a lot to be desired (in fact they are a joke)...but that topic has been debated to death here many times....

Albright intercepts and scores again but fails to convert on the PAT

Lycoming 14

Albright 13

[Lyco80]

Smith injured and Hanna intercepted - why did Lyco call a pass play with a cold qb who ended up overthrowing the receiver?

Albright now marching with less than 7 minutes to go . . .

[Lyco80]

Ball comes out and Lycoming recovers in the red zone - their own 13!

[Lyco80]

two more turnovers and Lycoming runs out the clock and secures the win - #249 for Coach G

Lycoming 14 - Albright 13

All the best, posters.

Lyco,

You guys have had a really nice turnaround to the season (although I'm sad that it started with the Bombers!).  Congrats on another win today.

[ACMob]

Ya can thank one of the "bum" teams in the NJAC for probably securing the #1 seed for DVC if they win next week!!

[Lyco80]

Thanks MIYH - sorry we are not going to the playoffs of IC fans might look for another shot to try and even the score on this year's contests.

Congrats on another win... Glad that you guys started to roll after getting us.  I'm sure IC would love to get another shot @ ya!

Go Bombers

Just to clear up a few facts. The Wu would clearly benifit from an taking an ECAC game. They are a young team that only will graduate a total of 4 seniors. Anytime you can get an extra week of practice for your younger players and add the post season feeling it has to help. Look at how it helped Kings get in the playoffs after an ECAC game. Del Val took an ECAC bid before they went on this current run of MAC championships. Furthermore let me remind all of my fellow WU alumni that WU took an ECAC bid the season before they starting winning all of those MAC championships in 2000. Lets also clear up one other fact. Zwann did not ask the players/coaches if they wanted to take an ECAC game. Nor did he turn it down. At the time, in order for a team to get an ECAC game they had to let the ECAC know by a certian time. Coach Zwann was sure the Pioneers would make the playoffs and never put in for an opportunity to take a game. Every real player I have ever talked to always says that they wish they could just put the pads on one more time.  Any player that would rather sit home on his ass instead of putting on his pads and playing in one more game should be ashamed.

Please allow me to apologies for the grammar and spelling in my previous post. I just returned home Sals. The WU D was very impressive today. Should be a great game this week in Doylestown.

[Pat Coleman]

I don't believe that's what we were told at the time. We had some pretty good sources in the department.

[WUDLINE]

This may be a case of conflicting sources. I travel to the games with a few fellows that I consider to be good sources. They where very close to the program during that time. However, I will yield to you if you have direct knowledge.

Congrats to the Aggies on their win today!!!  Not only did they secure at least a share of the MAC title (depending on the outcome of next week's games) but Adam Knoblauch achieved the honor of becoming just the 5th quarterback in NCAA history to pass for 10,000 yards and rush for 1,000 during his career.  What a banner day for the Aggies!!!

PS - Just to add a little intrigue into how this season will actually end, Rowan lost to Willy P.

I'd also like to compliment the Juniata football team and their supporting fans.  I must say that I was quite surprised to see the number of home support for this team in spite of their record this season.  Please don't take that last sentence as an insult.  It's just that usually when a team has a losing season, at least some of the games I've attended in the past, home support is sometimes hard to be found.  Juniata's home stands were packed and filled with cheering fans.  In addition, even though Del Val was ahead by a good margin of points by the end of the first half, Juniata came out and played with heart.  They never gave up.  They have some excellent talent on that team and it was very impressive to not see their heads drop once during that entire game.  They played with pride, guts and heart till the very end.  Great game Juniata Eagles!!!!
