Here are the non-conference games I know about for next year. Coaches have been fairly open with me about them, so I don't think I'm sharing anything secretive...

Del Val: Iona, Wesley and one open slot. I'd be lying if I said I weren't trying to help them fill it.

Widener: NC Wesleyan, Rowan, Wesley
Wilkes: William Paterson, Montclair State, Rowan
King's: St. John Fisher, Ithaca, Hampden-Sydney
Leb Val: Susquehanna and two other teams I don't remember

Lycoming: Ditto

I didn't ask Coach Sandusky at Albright. I did ask Coach Mosca at FDU-Florham, but I honestly don't remember what he told me.

That's great, Gordon, so long as the "two other teams" you "don't remember" in LVC's schedule are not Mt. Union and St. John's ....

Thanks so much Gordon. Any word what week the Ithaca/King's game is?

PBR... · October 30, 2006, 08:04:41 PM

excellent gordon, how 'bout for that third dvc slot rowan/rpi/hobart possibly? even ithaca? i would really like to see dvc take on mt. union at some point(no i havent broken out the scotch yet tonight...) i just would like to see mt. union play in person if dvc played them out there it would give me a reason for a road trip or on the long shot they came to doylestown....

Word out of SJF camp is that they've scheduled Mt. Union in 2008....

Waren:

Ha, I'd remember one of those. I think it's a couple Centennial schools (Juniata? Gettysburg?) but I don't remember for certain.

Tecmo:

If I recall my conversation with Coach Mannello correctly, it's week 2 after King's plays SJF.

Up:

I'd enjoy one of those match-ups, too, but there has to be an open week for one of the teams you mentioned. If Rowan has added Wilkes and Widener, I'm not sure there's room for a third MAC team.

bill · October 31, 2006, 09:10:56 AM

FDU's non- conference games next year are Juniata, TCNJ, and Willie P.
After 2007, I think we play Alfred instead of Juniata...

PBR... · October 31, 2006, 09:17:12 AM

alright gordon if there is no room for dvc then you need to help steer them to cortland or some of the LL schools if possible...rpi/hobart/union etc.....one of them i would think would have an opening and is not too far to go to bus wise for the team...

For those who would like to see more MAC vs. "others" contests, it's not very far away.

Plus after Susquehanna moves to the LL, they're keeping some of the "traditional rivals" as OOC opponents. I know next year Lyco is on the slate, as well as two others I forget...

bman · October 31, 2006, 10:11:23 AM

Wow

Boy did I miss an active MAC board this last week....! How DARE they require me to do actual work at work!

In deference to those in the middle, it seems that Widener's schedule is front and back-end loaded. While they hung with Wilkes (and could have won) and lost that tough one to Lyco (where anything could happen) I feel it is a bit early to talk about playoffs for WU.

They have Salisbury this week, (while down this year) hung in with Wesley and Del Val who while having some issues, is every bit as good (or better) than WU...

one week at a time guys....then if we perform....maybe the seeding gods will smile

formerwu · October 31, 2006, 03:47:02 PM

bman -

Don't complain that your doing to much "work" at work. We all know that you sit in on every available meeting so that you get free bagels and donuts.

I'm not too worried about Salisbury this weekend. That conference doesn't do anything for me. The big game should be in 2 weeks when we hoist the "Keystone Cup". I still can't get over that DVC has had that thing for the last couple of years.

Oh, and bman - your still fat.

PBR... · October 31, 2006, 04:00:46 PM

and dvc shall have the cup for several more years....

bman · October 31, 2006, 04:15:28 PM

FormerWu

Have you been smoking something? Maybe you don't have respect for that conference, but many teams the last couple of years that have taken Wesley lightly have gotten a quick education....it is meaningful to me that Salisbury hung with them...for whatever the reason.

DV will be a good game, but until we prove that we can beat a top team in our conference, I will hold-off on filling the ballons, and cutting the confetti...

and your just jealous that I can smoke you in the 40...what are you now? 270?
