FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[LANES]

Bman - Thanks for your comments regarding the WU football team. It takes a man to admit when he is wrong. I agree that this team may not have the individual talent that some of the WU teams of the past have had, but they fight together and play as a team. Maybe they will not go far in the playoff, but to respond from that Rowan loss and win the conference is pretty impressive. I think that this is truely a credit to coach Wood and his staff for keeping his team together. In the past this team would have quit and started to point fingers at each other in similiar situations like today. However, they stuck together and pulled out a great win.

Hitsticks-
Thanks for the congrats. You are right about the half time adjustments. Again I think Wood deserves alot of credit for the changes he made. The WU D has not allowed a third quarter touchdown in conference play all season. I would say that is pretty impressive, and speaks volumes about Woods ability to adjust. I would also like to give the Albright staff and players alot of credit on a great game and season, what a turn around. Great job.

WU, congats on the win. I listened and it was a great game, and "won" by WU for sure.  Smack talking from the cheerleader box pre-game is some of the fun from an Alum and fan point of view, bragging after a win is not quite the same.  This should also be a great game for a few more years to come. On a short note, the stream-cast was awesome, both commentators did an admirable job bringing realism to the air, and their take helped to really describe the game to one siting and trying to work, especially after sqandering a 21-7 half time lead.

Now, onto week 10. For those that have seen both teams, whats the deal.  Seems like a good match up, with possible playoff and pride reasons.  I cant wait for my weekend away, and the smell of mushrooms in the air.

ps. What a great conference, and this place has helped make it even better!

PSS, Great photo album Pat, did you get to actually watch the game as I see you shot alot of the turning points.

You know, I definitely don't absorb the game as well from behind a camera lens but I tried to take notes to help with that.

I have to say, that I have completely and totally eaten my words from thr Rowan game, when I accused this Widener team of not having heart...(still) I am not sure how far they can go, but nonetheless, they proved something today...

Congrats to Albright and their fans, although I was not able to go today, your team is the real deal...looks like we will have 4 tough teams (at least) in the MAC next year...

Although the season is not over, I must say that it has been a pleasure having the recent posters on the board...this was the most knowledgeable group on here in a long time...I hope everyone stays...

PBR...I feel your pain brother...here's hoisting one for you, the Lions, Aggies, and the Colonels...

right back at ya bman....pbr figures the wind came out of the sails a little w/ the loss at widener...wilkes was going to be a tough game no matter what. pbr would really luv to see everyone pick it up this week and finish strong w/ a win over albright and send the seniors out w/ a win in their last game.

Congrats WU, way to come back after the early disappointments this year.  Any chance of hosting a playoff game?

[gordonmann]

Maybe, if they beat Wilkes to finish 7-2, but a lot of things would have to break their way.  To get a sense where the ranking committee views Widener, they were 10th (of 10) in last week's regional rankings.  I think a first round game at TCNJ or somewhere in Upstate New York is more likely.

[PBR...]

have to admit pbr didnt expect TCNJ to be this strong this year....they have been impressive so far. gordon where did u have them ranked preseason pbr cant remember? at the top  or more around 3rd or 4th in their league

[Pat Coleman]

We had them pretty low, as did the NJAC coaches. NJAC picked them seventh of eight.

[PBR...]

thx pat! didnt realize most had them that low all the more impressive....good on ya tcnj!!!

NJAC basketball and football coaches are not that good at predicting the finishes of the conference teams.  Almost every year a team picked at the bottom ends up near or at the the top of the conf.
