FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[PBR...]

pbr lives in between doylestown (dvc land ) and allentown so pbr would likely make the trek out on int. 78 to lvc land(similiar initially to the route pbr takes when he hits the psu games)

Ah, good ol' I-78 ... where truckers who flunk driving school do their practice runs. 

LOL...that and the home of Cabela's at Hamburg...man people drive from all over the country to see that...have to admit it was pretty cool the first time pbr visited the store.

Albright 41 - Lyco 0
DVC 27 - LVC 21
Wilkes 21- FDU 20
Widener 35 - Kings 28

also gordon or anyone else why is dvc playing again at lvc? this is at least 2 years in a row now correct?

I'm not sure why the MAC sends teams on the road to the same opponent in back-to-back seasons.  I don't think it's the change in membership since Leb Val came to Del Val in 2004 and 2005 when there the conference was stable at 10 teams.

Speaking of which...

If you don't want to brave I-78, check out the game online...

Fair enough, though the oddball MAC schedule (someone played 10 games but it counted as nine), I guess it was hard to keep it symmetrical.

[bman]

Pat

Anyone who played 10 mac games only had 9 counted...WU had that scenario at least once...

If I remember correctly Wilkes was on OOC game for us (not sure why)

[PBR...]

aggies looking good so far in the second qtr!!!  pbr's got gordon on the airwaves

LOL...gordon nice reference to the mike shanahan freeze the kicker!!!

[gordonmann]

Thanks, PBR.

Glad the broadcast is coming through.

Leb Val has 56 yards on first drive and 30 thereafter.

That's what I said.

Someone -- as in one team -- played 10 games but only nine counted.

Whatever the reason for this never-ending "road" schedule-it's really stupid. Having to go back to Albright is bad enough, but "at" Widner again is just horrible. However, it looks as if the Aggies have learned a lot playing that rough early season OOC schedule. Some of the young guys on offense are really stepping up and Shef is recovered and playing well. The "O" line has been excellent and I think the running game success has helped greatly in that regard. The defense continues to be tough and really killed LVC's running game with an outstanding back(Parker). With the exception of the opening kick-off (would have liked to see us make an adjustment sooner) the Dutchmen had no success moving the ball(unless you count all the questionable penalties).

So, let's keep the ball rolling this week against FDU Aggies. This offense is fun to watch when it's clicking the way it has been the past two games.

[PBR...]

pbr just looked over the stats from the game again and gordon your right...very lopsided to say the least. the aggie O rang up some huge numbers and defense once again was stellar. good to see the passing game on track and the rushing numbers were huge. not a very happy homecoming out at lvc for them.

wow, Hamburg got mentioned on d3football.com's message boards....they are definitely moving up in the world.

We hit Cabellas every time we head out to Albright.  Can make for an expensive weekend for sure, so I try to leave the wife and kids at home as they tend to redirect my energies from the outdoors.

For those of you who dont get the full report, this one is making me feel really good as my teams got pounded every year we played them...

Football:  Albright returned a punt, a kickoff, and an interception for touchdowns in a 40-7 MAC win over Lycoming on homecoming Saturday afternoon in Shirk Stadium. The Lions, who have now won four straight games after a season opening loss at Salisbury, are 2-0 in conference play and 4-1 overall in 2007. The loss leaves Lycoming at 0-5, 0-2 this fall and still searching for head coach Frank Girardi's 250th career win. Tanner Kelly threw touchdown passes of 59 and 15 yards to Keith Allen to give Albright a 16-0 lead before Lycoming scored midway through the second quarter to make the score 16-7.  On the ensuing kickoff, Nate Romig raced through the Lycoming kick coverage 90 yards for a touchdown, restoring Albright's 16-point lead.  Three plays later Brett Gaul stepped in front of a Tim Hook pass and ran untouched down the sideline 37-yards for a Lion touchdown to push Albright's advantage to 30-7.  Early in the third quarter Will Alston returned a Warrior punt 78-yards for a touchdown to put the Lions on top 37-7, and John Whelan's second field goal of the afternoon capped the scoring late in the quarter to give the Lions the 40-7 win.  Albright's defense was solid all afternoon, holding Lycoming to 246 yards of offense, and the seven points allowed marked the second time in three games where the Lions kept an opponent out of double figures.  Allen led the offense with six receptions for 141 yards and the two scores, while Kelly finished the day 11-16 for 182 yards.  Gaul and Andrew Kibler each had six tackles to lead the defense.

yeah...pbr wasnt going to say anything as its got to be painful up in williamsport, pa at lyco....pbr does feel for simba, lyco80, pbr's sister, et al...coach G has been a very good coach for a long time. boy have they been struggling the last several years.

[Simba]

LANES...Congratulations on your victory over the Warriors...
I was there to witness the total domination on both sides of the ball by the Lions as well as special teams...A well-earned victory; however, you're mis-informed about "G's" 250th...He hit that milestone on the last game of the season in 2005 against Susquehanna....The Warriors ran the table that year after upsetting then #7 Ithaca in overtime at mid-season thus getting him #250 four games later...Looks like you have the weapons with Kelly and Romig to run the table this year...Good luck....Simba

Simba, it's fairly clear to me he's copying and pasting someone else's recap and not writing that himself.
