[MOJO]

Hello Posters,
Hope this post finds everyone in good health and spirits.  I had the opportunity to catch the tail end of an LVC practice the other day.  My advice to their opponents, BEWARE!  Unless injuries prevail or they go brain dead, the Dutchmen will be in the top half of the standings this season.  No, they are not a DVC or Wilkes caliber team, but be assured they will competitive.  This is gonna be a fun and interesting season, much parity exists between the teams in the MAC.  Wishing all the teams a fun and injury free season.  Go Dutchmen and Go Warriors.

MOJO "parity" and competitiveness are two different things. I don't believe there is parity, however, more competitive games will be more exciting and hopefully prepare the MAC Champ (DVC of course) for the post season and a win against Rowan. The AGGIES I'm sure will be ready for FDU and everyone else on their schedule. Did hear that the Jaworski kid left camp already though...looks like the QB field has been narrowed to two real competitors.

I find it so strange to look at the MAC boards and not see the names of Lyco and Widener at the top of the pre-season talk.  Now all I see are DVC, Kings, and now beyond all belief the Flying Dutchman of LVC.  My how things have changed.

Warren are you out there?

Hey LVC, I am taking the family to Dutch country to visit the Wonderland.  Any suggestions for the 2nd day?  I may stop at the water park on 30, but it looks a little cheesy.  We did Strassburg the last time we were there.  Thats only good for about 2 hours.  Any feedback or help would be appreciated?

Also in Strasburg: the state railroad museum and the National Toy Train Museum.
The latter is interactive ... push buttons and the trains move, etc.

Landisville, near Lancaster, has a farm museum (and, I think, a petting zoo).

Then there's HersheyPark.

(How old are your kids?)

8 and 6.  We did Strasburg and the train museum 2 yrs ago.  I feel it is good visit every 15 or 20 years or so.  I'm not much of a train guy.

We are going to DW tomorrow and should stay the whole day.  We are going to eat at Good n Plenty.  For Sat night dinner I saw a microbrewery in Mt. Joy that looks interesting (Bube's Brewery).  Ever hear of it.

The wife is gonna hit the outlets at Rockvale and Tangiers as well.

Hershey Park is great.  But 2 parks in 2 days may seem to much. 

Let me know if your BBQing Sat night. ;-) 

I may stop by and see BMAN on the drive home Sunday.  He said he'd have a beer waiting.

Check out the Lancaster Brewing Company:

It's closer than driving to Mt. Joy.

Posters,
I concur there is a difference between parity and competitiveness.  With that being said, I  firmly believe that the top 5 teams in the MAC this year can beat any of their competition depending on the will of the football Gods.  Yes, without a doubt, on paper Wilkes and DVC are the cream of the crop in the MAC.  With that being said, catch DVC or Wilkes on a down week or have them incur some injuries to key personnel, and all bets are off.  My comments concerning LVC are based strictly on visual observation.  The kids appear to be bigger, faster, and stronger as a team, than in years past.  This is not to say that there have not been kids that played at the Valley that could not have started and starred at their respective positions at some of the historic powerhouse MAC teams.  In short, the season is not gonna be over until it's over.  Don't be surprised if DVC or Wilkes get's upset along the way by someone besides each other.  Well, here's to a great season for all.

Up you are correct--the scrimmage is at 10

[patcummings]

So who has the lead for the DVC QB job since the main newbie that was being discussed was Jaworski?

[gordonmann]

I don't have any additional insight on that other that I saw a little of practice on Sunday and was impressed by the kid wearing No. 8.  If that's his roster number, it's Mike Isgro, the freshman from Absegami, NJ.  He's tiny but looked pretty good.

That being said, lots of quarterbacks were taking snaps including last year's back-up Hasenauer.

With 11 QB's in camp the job is still up for grabs. In my opinion, starting a freshman would be a mistake, although you have hime for 4 years. The Aggies are loaded and poised for yet another run at the MAC title, and the QB decision is crucil. Gordon, you mentioned the one QB you saw and described him as "Tiny". This in my opinion would mean a lot of roll out play calling as tiny dosent get it with the size of the horses up front.  The Aggies need a QB who be a leader and and command such and I dont think a freshman is in order, especially when maybe 1 or 2 games may mean winning the MAC title or losing it.  I am also sure all who are involved with the decision are doing their very best and at the same time losing sleep.  Well we will wait and see what takes place on Saturday when Del Val goes to Ursinus.  we may all be surprised.

uPBRme ASAP...are you going???


GO AGGIES!!!

[PBR...]
