Sorry about that wesleydad and Pat that was not a needed comment........ I have just heard it from so many dads from a certain high school down here that it grates on you a bit.....  Wesley does have an outstanding program...Drass does an outstanding recruting job

[wesleydad]

cjsjags, no problem.  i was not offended by it, my son is from pa and did get looked at by temple and kutztown, unfortunately he did not do well on that thing called the sat.  he is very lucky to have been given a chance to go to a school like wesley and still play football.  coach drass has been very helpful in his growth as a football player and more importantly as a person.  things happen for a reason and he ended up there, 2 semis and 1 quarter in the 3 years he has played so it has been fun.

PA, no set time, and yes you enter off 202. The further you are from the stadium entrance, the less likely the rent-a-cops will bother you.

And Pat, while Wesleydad may be a vet poster on the board, his posting on the MAC board was just trying to stir things up. Additionally, though I'm a second stringer on this board, I've followed Wesley football for a number of years, even before my son's tenure at DVC and I've not missed an Aggies's game over the past three years. I've even had the pleasure of taking in 4 years of Centennial Confernece games including the 2 years G.A. was coaching there. So, while I've declined to partake in the lively banter of this board prior to now, I've been around quite a while.

Funny I was out at a bar watching the Florida/Miami game when up on the espn scoreboard was the Del Val game........

One benefit of playing d-1aa teams is that your score gets to be on espn....

Yes, the press box phone was unusually busy this week, largely thanks to an aggressive ESPN staffer who wanted frequent updates.

Hello Gordon, Pat and PBR.....1st chance for me to get on the board this year...too many prior commitments...It sounds as if the DVC "O" is kind of struggling but with that weather I am sure putting plays together was difficult...couldnt make the game but should be there this week and also next...I read that DVC is predicted to tie for 2nd in hte MAC along with Albright. What is your take on it? As everyone knows the MAC is always a dogfight. What are your guys predictions. Gordon, will stop by booth in the next couple of weeks....see you soon

GO AGGIES!!!!!

Hey PBR   Where do you keep getting those pictures....they are not in the photo gallery...LOL

[@d3jason]

PBR and Knightstalker should start a board with their all-time greatest pictures...

Hey Sting, I got your back on this one! Seems like Wesley dad was just looking for someone to respond so that he could assert his(team's)superiority. Otherwise, why bring up last year's game and insinuate DVC was lucky to be in the game, only thanks to some gifts from Wesley? It would be different if some of the DelVal folks were over on the Independent site talking a little smack, but he came here looking to turn up the heat.

I'm not so sure we can put too much stock in the O's performance Saturday. Due to the weather the passing game was basically a no-go. Therefore, Mike's running was pretty much eliminated and it makes it easier to defend when you know it's a running play. Will we get any better guage this Saturday? Maybe not, as Wesley is indeed a very good team. It may be like last year when the Offense never really started producing until we got into the MAC schedule. These first three teams are all challenging and we don't necessarily match up well with them. But, that doesn't mean the Aggies aren't going to put up a fight and if they can limit mistakes on both sides of the ball, it could again be anyone's game, as it was last year.

Good to see some of the old Aggies' posters back on the board. It's been kind of quiet, and boring since you've been gone.

Just for that here you go.

Is there any specific time that people are allowed in the parking lot  for the games?
Am i correct that you enter from 202?

Yes, you enter from 202, about 1/4 mile from Rte. 611.  If you hit the 7/11 you went too far.  The last time I stepped on a football field in uniform, Delaware Valley beat Wesley 30-29 back in 1992.  Good luck to both teams this weekend.

Thanks. I live right down the road from the college but I haven't been to a game there since Wesley scrimmage in late nineties. And when the East/West games were played there it was a just a tad different landscape. I just wanted to make sure when I give out directions.

Hangtime:

Good to hear from you.  Hope you're doing well.

I agree with FeartheRam on the offense.  It's too soon to tell whether it has improved or not.  On one hand, the weather took away the passing attack for both teams and the Aggies were still able to pick up yards on the ground, even with Iona expecting the run.  Cook looked very good and Adam Smith made a nice contribution.  On the other hand, Iona graduated a lot of guys off the unit that held the Aggies to 30 yards in 2007.

I can't give away the trade secrets we published in Kickoff, but I think the Aggies will be competitive for the MAC title.  Those last couple weeks with Wilkes, Albright and Widener will be huge.  But you can't discount anyone given last weekend's results.  Winters had a monster game for FDU, King's did well against Randolph-Macon, Leb Val won a game in bad conditions and Lyco played very well as underdogs on the road at a Top 25 team.  Should be a fun conference season.
