FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[jb]

 I feel like I should weigh in on this conversation about Lyco's demise between Lyco80 and patron2.  My son, a Freshman @ lyco was on Juniata's, Susquehanna's, LVC's, Albright's, Bloom's, and Ship's radar coming out of school.  All quality schools in their own regard, some alittle better academically, some alittle better facilities,some good in football, some good in Basketball, some good in Baseball.  My son qualified for acceptance in all those schools, but chose lyco.  HE'S REASONING- Lyco just felt right, because so many things were similiar in nature and we compared, and crunch numbers, analyzed everything.  We do have Family that attend some of those other schools I mentioned so we had an insiders view of their schools.  My son couldn't be happier with his decision, and after the way the team finished up with 5 in a row, there's no their done.  Good Football players, in good academic standing are still choosing lyco over other schools.  So what if there not getting most of the kids out of the Catholic league in philly.  Plenty of ball players around, would love to see lyco make a bigger push in Dist.3 (Mid-Penn).  Patron 2 your arguement doesn't hold water, no dynasty has lasted forever, NONE!  Patron-where did all this hate come from?  No one hugged you when you where little?

Hmmmmm ... I see that Widener, some of whose fans and ex-players have recently heaped contumely on the ECAC Championship Bowls, is in fact hosting one such contest. Apparently no slaps in the face this time around ....

First and foremost congrats DelVal and Wilkes for getting into the dance. I wish you both only the best of luck. And Ill be at the Wilkes game Saturday.

After witnessing the horrendous performance of Widener and DelVal Saturday I think DelVal is gonna have a tough time in the post season. Their lack of a power running game will hurt them, however they have been there before and know what it takes to win.

I think Wilkes has a good chance to shock Rowan this week. Wilkes is very strong up front on both sides of the ball and very physical. I think they will pound the ball and control the clock. If they can keep it close they have a chance.

Good luck MAC teams this week.

[Lyco80]

Chum,

No disrespect intended, merely trying to attempt another way of post-quoting.

I agree about Wilkes - they played a very physical brand of football at Lycoming during the homecoming game.  They seemed to tire in the second half or Lycoming made the necessary adjustments.  However, throughout the contest the were aggressive and relentless.

I think we may be pleased with the way the Colonels represent the MAC - but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the post jb.  Perhaps I can meet your son when next I am on campus.

All the best

widener is facing a good team for the third straight week,  this ecac game surely will be an excelent chance to end the season on a high note.  8-3 sure would look alot better than 7-4.  good luck to widener, wilkes, and del val.   the mac looks as if its evolving into one of the top confrences in the nation.  big week guys!!!  3-0

this bid is no slap in the face, obviously.  its a great chance to play another opponent from a confrence that they had rarely ever played against.  however; if widener was facing another mac team, that they had already taken care of, it would be stupid to play.  just make it a jv game for the younger players.

UTah, JT... what is up with the haters on the E8 stealing all my karma like it was their's... damn I am tired of it

NNR, if you have around -5 to +5 kharma thats a good thing.  It means you have the balls to speak your mind.

[gobombers]

He's been complaining about it all day.

Low Karma is to the LL posters, what the spelling IthIca is to Ithaca posters.

zoolander:

While the MAC is not, overall, on a level with, say, the OAC or the ASC, it has never been one of the "low" football conferences.

It's one thing to "have the balls to speak your mind." It's an altogether different thing to spout nonsense, insult, and wallow in other great shame and vice ....

You are right Warren!!! but from -5 to 5 isnt that bad.  Here is how I see it.

Kharma Scale

+50 Kharma or above- Pat Coleman or another administrators that people are afraid to smite because they think d3football.com people will find out about it and do bad things to them.  They will roam every board on postpatterns, gaining respect and fear from posters across the land.

+20 to +40 Kharma-These are the types of guys that have funny comments, witty posts, sarcastic responces to unfunny posts, and a general positive mood on the board.  About 25% of their posts are actually about football, and 75% of thier posts are on one board.

+5 to +20 Kharma These are the guys who are pretty funny, generally positive and who usually know quite a bit about football and will bring up good points in discussions on the boards.  They won't kiss ass, but they won't spew ignorance either.

-5 to +5 Kharma  These are the dirtdogs of d3football.com.  They arent afraid of pointing out stupid posts.  They will antoganize posters that deserve it.  They have the time to go back to september posts from other posters to point out stupid things they said.  They will often go to other boards to look for stupid things people say and then laugh at them.  They aren't nice, but they bring the goods.  They speak the truth even though the truth hurts.  And they will be in your face about it.  A cocky lot this group is.

-25 to -5 Kharma  These are the cavemen of d3football.com.  They spew negative posts like snow in a blizzard.  They put down other posters.  They put down teams.  They blame every loss their team has on field conditions or injuries.  They usually whine and instead of bringing up facts or stats to back up their arguments they say things like "I heard [your team here]s quarterback is gay".  They rarely apologize about stupid things they say, and their posts 95 percent of the time are about other posters and not football.

-25 Kharma or below These are the people who have an agenda.  They want to get a coach fired.  They want to bring up personal things about people on the website.  They rub it in your face if thier team is good and disapear when their team is gone.  They will make up fake email adresses and get more fake usernames.  They are a sorry bunch of characters who might be unemployed and spend their time thinking about how to find out where "montclairfan99" lives so they can mail them dead fish and rotten eggs.  This is a lot to avoid at all costs

JU,

And yet, within three posts, your points are so eloquently made.

Touche', mon frer!
