FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[Lyco80]

To all concerned irt Lycoming defecting the MAC:

I shall be on campus the third week in March and see what I can discover from my Alumni Board vantage point.

My guess, these are merely rumors, however, you never really know for sure.

Concur with concerns about recruiting especially from Philly area.  Something to consider - the demographic pool of college-aged students is not shifting northward but south.  Therefore, if there is a move to be made that aims to meet the expanding marketplace for all students - not just student athletes - it makes sense for Lycoming to look towards a Conference centered in Maryland. 

This comment comes from listening to the way ahead as defined by the college president for all liberal arts colleges within a 500 mile radius of Williamsport, PA.

Just something else to ruminate on.

The new QB is on campus and taking classes....Bossman you were right and I stand corrected on the Greco thing...but did see him at the games in some capacity.

[PBR...]

solid and great news billman with this qb in place i think we will stand to have a tremendous year next fall....is it labor day yet!!! billman anyword on the staff on the off side of the ball and who will be coordinator etc.?

[Billman56]

UpBrmeasap...I havent heard anything since my last post...however are we overlooking a great football mind here as relayed to "O" coordinator position...What about Bill Manlove, experience and talent...With him in the "O" coordinator position, my opinion says the Aggies never miss a step....His health and how the position would affect that would remain the question, but my vote would be for him to take the reins on the "O" side of the ball.

[PBR...]

i would not mind manlove taking the reigns but that would raise a couple of questions of them being does he want it? can his health handle it? have to admit he really turned into a huge aggie supporter with mangus. also would it wrankle any of the off coaches still on board....time will tell. great job by the aggie wrestling manhandling lyco the other night!! my sister a lyco grad thought it would be a lyco walkover and boy was she sadly mistaken!

With a name like 'Bill Manlove', that dude must have been a serious badass growing up....being the Offensive Coordinator would be a walk in the park!!!

[Billman56]

Union89...I have got to agree with you regarding Manlove. I know and everyone knows his experience and credentials speak for themselves. It would be a good fit if his health is good, and if notthey need to go get an "O" coordinator.

It's Greco

[bossman05]

Is it official?

[PBR...]

i havent seen anything where that is official although i would think greco would be a likely and good candidate. I asked pat coleman as well and he has heard nothing official as well. Billman your source at dvc have any input on who the new off. coordinator is yet?

[Billman56]

Upbrmeasap...I still havent heard anything regarding the "O" coordinator position but will check asap...will keep youn posted..

[patcummings]

Coach Manlove wouldn't want the gig - he's enjoying life and hanging around football...he loves what he does per his own words to me a few months back.

I haven't heard about Greco and wouldn't know how to analyze it one way or another. 

Warren - I wouldn't blame the Centennial for the initial breakup way back as much as I blame the rest of the MAC for thinking they could function effectively with as many teams as they thought they could...

That's a fair point, Pat. Back then, the MAC was a bit dysfunctional.

[Billman56]

Upbrmeasap, Bossman05....As far as anyone knows the "OC" position is still up for grabs....still taking applications is what I hear...should know something by weeks end..
