Adam Knoblauch is a excellent QB. He has had a great career at DVC and it has been a pleasure to watch him play. The football fan in me will miss him. However the WU fan is glad next Saturday is the last time we have to compete agaist him. Congrats again on a great accomplishment.

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

Have some heart.      Why on earth would you call ANY team a "bum" team?  Just because a team doesn't have more wins than losses doesn't make them any less deserving of a powerful win.  Things went right for Willy P today and congrats to them.  That is, who I am assuming, you were talking about.

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.

wudline, in 1999 we never took an ecac bid bc we never recieved one, they are hard to get when a team goes 6-4. regardless of your misinformed knowledge of the 2002 season along with prior seasons. like i already said, if wu gets a ecac bid this year they should take full advantage of it. wu 2002 team was offered an ecac bid that was declined bc the team thought they had a good chance to gear up for the playoffs.  we didnt meet as a team to watch the selection show as a team bc we didnt control our own destiny at the time. our season ended via internet at the moment. the last thing on anyone had in mind that week was gearing up to play moravian again for the ECAC TITLE.  we all went to widener to have the oppertunity to practice on thankgiving in the am.

HATS OFF TO WILLY P!  GREAT WIN!!

It was one of your posters that used that term.  I root for Kean and WP in the NJAC.  Many believe that they are "easy" wins and in the past that might have been true.   Again, I was only be sarcastic towards the poster that used that term. 

Ask Wilkes how "weak" Willy P is this year!  After they beat Husson next week, WP will finsh at .500 for the first time I can remember.

[Lyco80]

It is interesting to note how quiet all the "put a fork in them" posters have become since Lycoming has won the last four games in a row.  For the record, when everyone was counting them down, and out, I, and a few other stalwarts, continued to have faith that Coach G and the lads would right things. 

This week's game against defector Susquehanna will provide an interesting chance for Coach G to move to 250 career wins.  This is a milestone few coaches achieve in any sport - let alone a competition as prone to change as D3 football.  My hat is off to him and his staff for a career of excellence and hope many Warrior alumni - both football and otherwise - will make the trip to Williamsport this weekend in the hopes of seeing some D3 football history.

Simba - may make the trip from VA - right now it appears we will be executing orders to Japan for three years in February 2006.  This may be my last chance to make it for some time.  Let me know if you plan on attending.

Congrats to DVC and WU on strong seasons - I hope you both make it into the playoffs.  Also - well done to a very physical and talented Wilkes team.

Go Warriors - #250 is within your grasp - Beat the Crusaders!

All the best.

Dont worry man... Here I am!!!

Put a fork in Lyco!!

I am sure you are so thrilled to post about winning the last four straight when Lyco has such a great tradition..  It must tickle you to death to pound your chest that Lyco has had such a great season.

Dont worry man, soon enough Lyco will be completely finished... The power will shift to DVC, Albright, and Widener has always had a pretty good team...

Lycoming's slide isnt over.  They will lose more games next year too.

[MOJO]

Patron 2,
Why so much antagonism towards the Lycoming program.  Granted this is not the same type team as the LYCO teams of old.  With that being said, the one commonality shared with those past great teams is character.  These kids found ways to win.  Be assured LYCO is not done!  Much more parity exists in the MAC from top to bottom,than in the past, and be assured on any given Saturday one team can defeat another.  DVC has become the class of the MAC, however don't think for a heartbeat that they can't be beat.  Even the top dog must be ever vigilant.  Although we all have our favorite teams, lets not forget all these players are fine young men. 

[patcummings]

Don't automatically think DVC can get the top seed in the region with a win against Widener.  A 4th ranked Union win against 3rd ranked Hobart sent them to 9-0...add on to that this week's game against previously 6th ranked RPI and the Dutchmen have a chance to pickup the top ranking. 

Union's quality of win index would most likely be higher than Del Val's.

[Pat Coleman]

Dunno about that -- Delaware Valley would pick up just as many QOW points from beating Widener as Union would from beating RPI. Even though Union has two fewer regional games to divide that boost over, Del Val's QOW lead should stand up unless one team or the other has a significant number of other opponents' records change.

Zoolander
I was speaking of the 1998 Wu team that played Monclair at home in the ECAC game. To this day, coach zwann contributes much of the future success of the program to the extra practice time he had with the young players in 1998. We all try to forget about the 1999 team that started with such high promise before fading away. As for your statmentabout my misinformation I will offer this info to help you understand.
It was stated that Zwann asked the team and players if the wanted to play an ECAC game. He did not. At the time the so called bid that was turned down was the initial  bid sent to almost every school on the east coast with a winning record. It was to ask if a college would be interested in playing in an ECAC game if the did not make the NCAA playoffs. The ECAC then comes back to the teams that do not make the NCAA an have shown an intrest in playing an ECAC game. Zwann declined the initial offer.

[Lyco80]

It is good to know that you are not lost since I was about to initiate a milk carton campaign in hopes of locating you, Patron 2.

Concur with Mojo in regards to MAC parity.  The pending desertion of Susquehanna, Juniata and Moravian will alter things.  How much so is a matter of speculation.  However, the remaining teams will continue to hold Fall weekly slugfests that will sometimes depend upon turnovers, penalties and field conditions for the winners and losers.

Not sure what your hostility to Lycoming is but that a demon you will have to exorcise yourself - sorry but I cannot help you with it myself.

Winning seasons, MAC championships, NCAA appearances, twice in the Stagg bowl in the 1990s, all point to a tradition of excellence and success.  I remain quite bullish on Lycoming's stock and am sorry you think I am pounding my chest when I am merely trying to call attention to facts - not feelings.

Regardless, I am delighted you are a poster and am glad to see you took the bait and responded.  Witty repartee is most welcome.

Go Warriors !

All the best.

[Simba]

One career NCAA leader congratulates another after the game....One more win Warriors and your two goals set prior to your "Playoff" game with Ithaca will be attained (win out for a winning season and 250 wins for the "G").. Take no prisoners this Saturday and the second half of the season will end in a successfull "Crusade"...Simba



Lyco80...Will be observing from the hill behind the fence as I've done 3 games this year to ensure all tailgaiting festivities meet Lyco standards...hint: Dick Yuengling, Lyco class of '66...

[Dynasty07]

[bossman05]
