Could this MAC imPOSTER also be responsible for the Taco Bell Green Onion fiasco? Is there a DVC connection?

The Guru will seek, find, and then destroy!

[PBR...]

negative on the dvc connection....rumor has it that angry cortland and/or rowan fans are behind the burrito supreme fiasco...

[Dr. xGSC]

Don't think that Cortland or Rowan have anything to do with agriculure, so it must be DVC.

[PBR...]

LOL...rowan looks like it was dropped out of a 747 into the middle of new joisey's prime ag land....right smack in the middle of corn and tomato country, nothing but miles and miles of fields surround the boro

DOG,uPBRmeASAP.maAggie,  Hey guys thanks for the feedback it eases me a bit.

maaggie,
If you had read my previous posts, I agree with you that the DVC QB is a good one and will develop and one to be reckoned with down the road and I did not solely lay blame on him. I stated that it was MY OPINION ONLY many times that a freshman, any freshman would  not have been my choice. But that is why we have Vanilla and Choculate and Strawberry.

Yes there were many problems below the surface contributing to inefficient play.  Well in any event thank you guys for the input once again and please enjoy your holidays!!

Pat and Gordon, enjoy you holidays also and to all the MAC posters.

[maAggie]

Thanks for the holiday greetings and right back atcha and all other posters. I understand your point but I differ with you in that you always play the most talented and best player. Obviously, through all the practices and such the freshman showed he was the BEST choice for not only this season but the future as well. While that may seem to you like the seniors were cheated, the fact is that they wouldn't have had any better of a chance to repeat the previouse years' results with a less talented QB.

That's water under the bridge so to speak, and instead of looking at this season's failures, try focusing on the great years and all the wonderfully athletic plays you got to witness during your son's tenure. There's no point in letting a few disappointing games taint all the great times you shared with your son at DVC!

Merry New Year to all.

I am kind of late to the D-III posting as we just completed a military move to Japan but wish to opine about playing under classmen at the expense of upper classmen. 

It seems tempting to constantly look to the youth to develop someone for later on - the freshman who matures into a one of a kind player his senior year, for instance. 

But what about the coaches loyalty to someone who has paid their dues for four years waiting for a chance.  Yes, I understand that this is competition and the better person should play - but after all - isnt't that largely a subjective assessment? 

I mean, these scholar athletes are really practicing for the chance to play - not professionally - just play.  After all the cheering is over and the last jockstrap has been washed and discarded it is the camraderie and moments of exhilaration on the field you remember.  Sure the won-losses are part of that but . . . 

All I am saying is that coaches have a tough balancing act between utility and loyalty and must always appreciate how their decisions play out across the locker room.  From where I stand - loyalty is one character trait that motivates young men to jump on hand grendades.  And I should know, I have served five different times in my 21 year career with folks who do this from time to time - the U. S. Marine Corps.

Ahhh, but there's the problem. It basically boils down to a feeling of entitlement. "Put your time in" and you deserve to play...no, not a chance. It should always be the best athlete and the best player suiting up. Who gives you the best chance to win? That answer determines who suits up and gets on the field. If it's a freshman, so be it. Every college athlete must know that their position is up for grabs every camp. Recruiting means looking for the best players and getting the best players on the field ASAP. The mentality of "putting your time in' has become a mantra since your kids played midgets, it's time to let it go. You also have to realize that it's not subjective to the coaches who see those kids in practice everyday, they see the ones who outwork and outperform their teammates in practice and those are the kids who "EARN" their way onto the field. At the college level (from III to I) it's about winning and that means putting your best 11 on the field every down.

lyco i see your point and kinda of agree to a small extent....but to me i have to kinda side w/ ftr on this one....i would give the upper classmen the nod if everything were equal but if the underclassmen outplays them in camp and practice i have to go with them, i undertand the loyalty thing but to me as a coach you have a responsibility to put the best team on the field which includes the best players....also the coach has a responsibility to the other players on the team who come there and bust their humps to win, and the coach also owes the administration, students, alumni, fans of the program to put the best team/players on the field...regardless of his personal feelings

Anyone catch the short film during halftime at the Stagg Bowl?  ESPN did a quick video of what it is like to play D3.  If I am not mistaken, it looks like it was shot at Lyco.  Anybody see it or know anything about it?

[Lyco80]

did not see it, due to time zone and AFN commercials during breaks but would love a video link if someone comes up with one - David Person field!

Has anyone heard who might be the front runner for the Albright head coaching job?

[hit1sticks]

just got some news from a good source on the team that Coack Marzka (spelling) has  been named the new head coach (official decision may not have been made yet). He has been the coach at Teel College the past few years.
