MAC05...I see this is your first post. welcome to this board. Dont waste your time responding to "The Source". Nothing but negativity comes from there and anything you post regarding the MAC will get knocked. Just another closet Rowan fan on the Bandwagon....AGAIN!  Rowan is clearly a team that belongs in DII or DIAA but would rather stay in DIII and be successful. I wont post my opinions regarding personnel or recruiting as it is only heresay and really no one wants to hear it. I do think this will stir the pot a bit but who knows.
Anyway, good luck and again welcome to the MAC board.

Yes, Rowan, Mount Union, the WIAC schools (more because of b-ball success) and lets add Linfield to the list all belong in D-II or D-IAA because the other teams in D-III have not figured out how to maintain a level of success that keeps them on top of heap.  Lets add a couple of the Texas schools to that list too.

These schools must obviously be cheating to maintain their success.  Hard work, continued success and being good schools have nothing to do with it.  I know, they all have Dr. Moreaux' on staff to create good football players in a lab, growing them in test tubes and incubators.

Give me a break, I hate Rowan and they have never cheated, they have taken advantage of loopholes in the rules but that is not cheating, that was a result of a flawed NCAA rule which has been fixed.  Accorsi (sp) doesn't bring in transfers like Keeler did but his teams are still successful.

If Rowan went D-II or IAA the other programs would have to also and they aren't that dominant.  RU basketball is back with the pack.  The other sports on both the mens and womens side are good, among the best in the NJAC but you don't see their NJAC competition calling for them to leave D-III.  When it comes to game time it is put up or shut up and Rowan puts up almost all the time.

Stalker,

Agree with your post regarding your dislike for Rowan and the quality of other D3 schools across the land.

Always wondered why Mt Union was able to stay in D3 with all those victories.  Interesting to note that Hofstra moved up after some D3 success in the early 1990s - although there was that upset by Lycoming!

By the way, I know Dino Hall, former G'Boro standout and returner for the Cleveland Browns before they became the Baltimore Ravens etc.

Regardless, it is interesting to note that many teams remain extremely successful at D3 and to wonder aloud why they do not move up and what the outcome might be if they did:  for their program and in the vacuum they would create in their departure.

Enjoy the pecan pie!

Happy Thanksgiving to all MAC fans everywhere, especially any serving overseas in the most important uniform - the nation's.

They had no choice if they wanted to remain Division I in all their other sports.

bill,

maybe you should take some notes on recruiting from Rowan that way maybe FDU maybe able to get more than a couple wins a season, maybe they need a new strength coach too

Pat Coleman

Hmm, 16 posts and by my count you've been an a**hole in about 13 of them. We don't need this source material.

Best of Luck to DVC's Adam Knoblauch on his Gagliardi nomination!  What an honor it is to be in the running.  Here's hoping he wins the award!  GO MAC!

Welcome aboard!  Good to have another poster familiar with MAC league comings and goings.

The more the merrier!

It was sweet to see Dallas lose in OT today - as a true Eagles fan I am always happy to see anyone in the division lose even if the Eagles cannot win.

Here's to an Aggie W on Saturday followed by an Eagle W on Sunday!

MAC Attack!

Posters,
The regular season is over.  It's important that we, as MAC family, support the Aggies.  Yes, during the regular season they are the enemy, if your not an Aggie fan.  They are representing all of us now, so lets get behind these kids, coaches, and program and wish them well.  Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving, and wishing everyone a happy and healthy holiday season.  GO AGGIES!

The Source is a pinerider or has big brother on the team.

As for Bill's weight program. I loved it and benefited from it!

The Source....I dont know too much about FDU or their staff, nor am I familiar with their recruiting requirements. I pull for the Aggies and have been an Aggie fan for some time now. 

Rowan is Rowan and they can do whatever they want, all I was saying was that if they continue to be as dominant as they have been in the past maybe they should step up to better competition to get some respect in an upper Division. Maybe they just want to be the big fish in the small pond and are afraid to step up?? Who knows?

4Man...will be looking for you tomorrow...
