FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[WU_Joker]

Gordonmann: Thanks for your reply and analysis. Your sources are correct. If the punt is tipped and retrieved by the punting team behind the line of scrimmage, the punting team can advance the ball. If it had been tipped and went beyond the line of scrimmage, then the receiving team must touch or fumble the ball for the kicking team to recover the ball.

[WUDLINE]

Gordonmann & Wu_Joker :
My sources have informed me that the officials ruled the punt was actually not touched by a Widener player and was recovered behind the line of scrimmage by a del val player. I had never seen this occur before and have to admit that I was not sure about the ruling myself. However, I am told that the officials actually got the call correct. A punt is a free ball until it crosses the line of scrimmage and can be advanced by either team.

Even more amasing is that the refs got it right... I have seen that happen in a game not very long ago.

Thanks for the update, WUDLINE. As I was saying before, lots of things going against WU that were going for them last year. Next year, with a healthy team and a predominant sophomore and junior starting class this year back, they will no doubt contend for the title. In the meantime, hats off to a Lycoming team that had a great turnaround that included havig to adjust to a new coach. I know there are a few games left and am not declaring them champs yet, but a nice season nonetheless.

[The Observation Deck]

At 3-7 last year maybe it would be better if the new coach came in without any knowledge of last year's players.

This seems to be working out.

Yo Gordo!

What's the procedure for breaking ties if three or more teams wind up with the same record??? with each beating each other! There are still some interesting scenarios still in play. A monkey wrentch or two thrown into the mix and we could wind up with four teams at 5 - 2!!!

Have to agree that Lyco gas the inside track abd deservingly so but this could get real interesting if they should stunble in one of their final games.

KingSting:

That's a good question.  I've held off on talking about the tie breaker possibilities until the picture becomes clearer but obviously there's not much time left for that.  After this weekend's games, I'll try to get the tiebreaker rules and provide some analysis there.

Famous last words, but I'm going to try to get to Ralston Field earlier tomorrow.  I'll be wearing a Tigers cap.  If you see me, stop me and say hello.

[KingSting999]

I will definately be at Ralston tomorrow!!!! Know that they boys will put on a good show from both sides, always a real head banger of a game. Unlike the contests versus Widener where there seems to be a real undercurrent of dislike for each other  I anticipate a real competeive game on Saturday and may the best team win!

I hope all players come out of it healthy and wish all of the Aggie Seniors a special thanks for four great years of football, I'm kind of lost with what to do with myself after these next couple of weeks! It will be the end of a very long road, but it's been a really nice ride!!

As always.............. GO AGGIES!!!!!!!

Gordon and KingSting,

Good to see you will be at Ralston tomororw- I hope to get there early myself as well. If the weather is decent, I will be decked out in the gear from my favorite Formula One racing team, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, in celebration of their recent World Championship. In any event, I will be around the visitors press box, so I hope to see you there!!

[Lyco80]

I am without speech.  I just heard the stream and the announcer said King's was leading of Lycoming 24-7 with only minutes to go in the game.  Could it be they were looking ahead?  This really puts a damper on a great story and good season.  Even if the Warriors can get a share of the MAC now it will never taste as sweet.  Congrats to the lads from King's.  I hate to rely on other teams to help your team to win something - winners craft their own destiny - it is just that simple.

Simba - did you see the game?
