New website for Widener:

www.widenerpride.com

Looks pretty good.

News from camp.  Woody was able to pull in a couple of IAA and II transfers for this year.  I'll try and keep tabs on them.

Bye for now.

Any news fron the MAC camps? New to posting on this board but have been checking out this site for a few years.

We have news from every MAC camp including Del Val and the scoop on who Widener's transfers are and which ones at this point are likely to see significant playing time.

And all you have to do is order the Kickoff Preview to get that news.

KingSting999, the preview may even mention someone you know pretty well.

gordon any idea when is dvc changing their site? it keeps saying any day now....

Thanks Gordon, I already have my order in! Looking fforward to an interesting season with the Aggies. Feel that they should be stronger this year on the offensive side of the ball but have some big shoes to fill on defense. Hopefully there will be some new faces step in and solidify those areas so that the defense doesn't have a drop off.

The O line should be solid and the back field led by Cook and Isgro will be a strong point. Would like to see the Aggies try and control the ball a little more this season, especially early in the year, and burn some time off the clock and give the defense some more time off the field. Two early losses last year, especially the Wesley game, I feel were a direct result of the defense just wilting in the extreme heat..

Have all the confidense in the world in the coaching staff and Coach Clements seems to be growing into the position quite well. Looking forward to our first taste of Aggie football at this Sunday's intersquad scrimmage!

It seems as both Widener and Del Val use the company "ICS" to do their websites. Does anyone out there have any concept of what this cost? Matt at Del Val, don't you occasionally post/lurk here?

Why do I ask? Well, many of you older posters may remember that I personally designed and created our FDU website using a Mac about 10 years ago. It was cutting edge then, but....

Thanks....

I'll send you a Personal Message on the subject.

(Try Presto instead -- you'll get integration with the D3sports.com scoreboard system and save a bunch of time.)

big loss for dvc today as starting tight end michael barainyak suffered a very severe neck injury and had to be transported to the hospital. all dvc fans have michael in our prayers and wishing him the fastest recovery possible

[Matt Levy, DVC SID]

UPBR...Thanks for the kind words about the new web site. We h ave received a lot of positive feedback in the first 28-plus hours of the site going live.

Bill, why I can't get into the specifics of the cost, I can tell you that you can contact people at internetconsult.com for prices. I know thay they are now working with more than 200 schools and conference on all levels. A lot of schools in the MAC are in the process of going with ICS. DVC and Widener have joined non-football schools Alvernia, DeSales and Misericordia as far as sites that are currently live. Arcadia, King's, Lebanon Valley and Wilkes and the conference office itself have signed on with the company as well.

The season is just around the corner!!!

DVCfan11, I'm sure I speak for all the Wilkes faithful in wishing Michael the best for a safe and speedy recovery. My prayers go out to he and his family, and hopefully he'll be back on the DVC campus very soon.

I haven't been able to make it to a Wilkes practice as of yet, but things appear to be progressing well for the Colonels from what some observers tell me. Obviously many positions will have new faces, and from what I hear several freshmen and transferrs have a good shot of contributing early. We'll see how things pan out after the Courtland scrimmage and then obviously with a very tough season opener at Muhlenburg.

Matt, I don't know if you read my introduction a few posts back, but you may remember me from the program books you sent me after the 2006 season for my little collection- my thanks again for a first-class act among the conference SIDs.

Similarly, Presto has almost 250 schools and conferences in its network. Just figured someone should match the sales pitch.
