FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[Dr. xGSC]

I thought it was a great game played by two great teams, in conditions (weather and field) that were deplorable at best. We watched the game from the Brown & Gold Gridiron Club section in the end zone and, yes, I was a bit worried at the half. Great adjustments were made by RU and the D really stepped up. It was a game of two halfs and thankfully, RU won the half that counted the most.

The RU Sucks chant was a bit much as was the group of DVC supporters behind our tent chanting at 14-0, "Stick a fork in 'em, they're done" at every chance they had. But once the game was over, they were very commendable about RU and wished us well. 

Good luck to DVC in the future and to the fans as well, Happy Holidays.

they can loose by twenty this week, to come this far with backups i consider that a very successful season, and when it all comes down to it were still the beast of the east even with the second string

I'm callin you out, Fargo. I think you are a player, and players posting is not a good idea.

[Billman56]

Phil....Are you trying to tell me that Fargo is a DVC fan??? I hope not.

DR.XGSC....Good post bud...it was a good game.  I also heard the chant and send apologies...that  is not called for and in poor taste.

D3Phan....Hows that for good Karma???

Bill
Click on Fargo's name and check out his email address. He's posting from the DelVal campus.

If not posting from the campus he's using "delval" in his email address.

If he's a Rowan fan or player who went through the trouble of setting up an email address with "delval" in it – well, someone needs to get a life.

billman it was great meeting you. and we will be back!!! dr. x and jt good luck next week in representing the east!!! You cant turn the ball over 3 times inside your own 40 yard line and expect to win. It gave them life and you have to give rowan credit for taking advantage of the oppourtunity. I dont necessarily disagree with mangus comments, at best these teams played to a tie if not dvc out playing them. did dvc outgain and win the time of possession? he gave his honest opinion that in HIS opinion if dvc/rowan played 10 times that dvc would win the majority NOT ALL the games. Any good and competitive coach i would expect to say the same thing including all the coaches in ncaa tourney. If not i am not sure i would want them coaching my team.  again you cant turn the ball over and expect to beat any team. so good luck to rowan the rest of the way. you have been nothing but gracious in victory and we wish you well.

[Billman56]

Phil...I dont believe he is from DVC, he is just another loser, who most likely came from another board to stir the pot. All in all he must be a loser who throws cheap shots AFTER the game is played and hides behind a posting name because he has no "Cajones" to identify himself. All posters should just ignore him totally.

Fargo...goodbye loser!

[Billman56]

D3PHAN.....I didnt get any positive Karma points for that one!


Upbrmeasap....Good meeting up with you also, and glad the gang treated you like family in my absence...will see you next season???

[PBR...]

you will see me next season....assuming my body defrosts by that time!!! I went up top to watch that second half (probably bad karma on my part i should of stayed where i was to continue dvc's good karma...) and the wind was worse up there i was standing up with a bunch of other people and were jumping around and was just about frozen solid by games end!!! Thx to DVC football team and coaching staff for another great season and run in the playoffs!!! also thought the game changed alot when carmon went out hurt on the kick off return. being up high i noticed they rolled their coverage over to marshall and we couldnt stretch the field like we were doing in the first half with carmon and marshall playing.

Upbrmeasap:

Maybe so...but tell me, what possible purpose is served by a coach speculating on what might happen if they play another team 10 times other than to suggest that the team that won didn't deserve it and the team that lost blew it.  Perhaps instead of saying "if we didn't fumble that double reverse he wouldn't scored" he might have said "that was a dumb call in those conditions".....which it was.  And that kid had as much chance scoring as I do becoming the next Pope.

It was a great game.  The better TEAM won.  Again.

[PBR...]

what was the question that was asked? was it taken out of context? did the reporter ask if you played rowan 10 times who would win most of the games? how was the question that was asked was he led towards giving this type of answer? Also i think you have to cut him a little slack he just came out of a game with all kinds of emotions running....its not like he said rowan stunk and didnt deserve to be there and if we played them 10 times we would win 10 times.... come on...

UpBrMeAsap:

Momma always said, "Think before you speak." And if you're emotional, "Count 10 first." 
But there's more to it than that....I like to watch coaches on the sidelines...particularly when things go wrong...like when a QB throws an interception in the red zone...tells you a lot about them.  Try it sometime.

Ok, enough of this, lest someone starts throwing stones at MY glass house.   

Bottom line is DVC has become a very competitive team and they should feel good about what they've accomplished.  Getting where they are is hard, and sustaining it is harder.  Time will tell.

[D3Phan]

Just a quick comment on the chants that were heard at the game.....they were to be sure "chanted " by a bunch of idiot kids who probably have never played a football game in their lives......or couldnt make the grade....come on guys I don't think I would have been able to find 1 person their Saturday that would agree that Rowan sucks...and where it counted there was alot of Character shown...and that was on the field...

Good luck Rowan make the East proud!

Happy Holidays to everyone..safe travels to Rowan!!

[Lyco80]

I did not hear the DVC-Rowan game but can tell from the paper and the postings it was a down to the wire contest.  While I am sorry that DVC did not win I am impressed by Rowan's victory, especially given the injuries to key personnel. 

Congrats to DVC for the great season.  Best wishes to Rowan as they go against the Purple Raiders. 

Again, Navy triumphed over Army and kept the Commander-in-Chief trophy for another year in Annapolis.  Navy has the #1 rushing offense in D1 - not too shabby for a service academy.

Wesley has me surprised.  Where did these guys come from?  Does anyone think it possible we may have an all East coast final?  That would be a hoot particularly after all the smack about the Texas teams and the West being so overpowering the last few years.

All the best

D3:

There are idiots all over, and while I didn't like the "RU Sucks" chanting, that did not represent the majority of the DVC crowd.  Far from it.

[fargo]

on a serious note does anyone know if the del val quarterback is going to try to play in the nfl??
