FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

... I do agree that DelVal has come to be a perenial powerhouse in the MAC ....

"[A] perenial [sic!] powerhouse in the MAC"? Hardly. A good team, yes. Excellent, at times, of course, in recent seasons.

It's been a while since there's been a genuine "powerhouse" in the MAC (Lyco of old, in the days of the nine-game schedule, comes to mind ... sort of). In fact, in all of D3 right now, there's likely only one outfit that meets the definition of powerhouse -- and it's located in Alliance, Ohio.

interesting point warren, guess it comes down to everyones definition....imho was dvc a powerhouse in the mac absolutely. were they a dynasty? no in fact imho no mac college team has been a dynasty ever....(except for maybe dvc's wrestling team  )  BUT MUC pbr would definetly say is a dynasty no doubt about it

btw dvc wrestling team is preseason #3 in the nation...   8)

and yes lyco, susque, widener also had times where they were the powerhouse of the mac as well....

Mr. Thompson,
I apologize, maybe my claim that DVC has been a perennial powerhouse in the MAC stretches what you believe defines "powerhouse". I was basing my statement on the fact that in three seasons (2003-2005) DVC was 26-2 in MAC games, also from 2003-present they have racked up a conference record of 44-8. So in my theory, they have been a perennial powerhouse in the MAC of recent simply because their conference record for five years has been tremendous making them a powerhouse in the MAC, year in and year out...MUC surely is a powerhouse, but honestly who is not aware of that?

KingSting,
I know players that were at DVC and helped turn that program around, and I've often offered congratulations to them about where they've helped get their program. With that, I understand your proud of your son, and I would be too. That has nothing to do w/ any of my posts...I'd like to keep it to the facts. (Not trying to make any of this personal) Congratulations to your son and the Aggies as well as the rest of the MAC for an awesome year of football.

Thanks,
Thee Apprentice

Del Val will open at home against Johns Hopkins and then travel to Kean.  The third game is still up in the air.

Don't I wish. My in-hospital PT lady was about that good looking, but her demanding regimen would make Navy SEALS cry for mercy ....

To the Apprentice,

Thanks for your reply, I apologize for getting a little heavy handed in my blogs. I truly do wish for Lyco to do well in the upcoming playoffs. I do think that Hobart is very beatable if you guys play well.  A strong showing by Lyco would be a boost for the MAC, just as the Aggies two wins over Wesley and Salisbury. We may have different opinions when it comes to playing each other, however it's just like most families, "It's okay for us to pick on each other, but just try and let someone from the outside do it, fight one, fight all!!!"

Good Luck to Lyco, Albright and Del Val this weekend, bring home three wins for the MAC

[TheApprentice]

Sounds good KingSting. Thanks for the response!

I posted a Hobart-Lycoming "preview" on the LL board if anyone here is interested. 

Very even match up, but being a homer I am picking Bart to win in a very close contest.

Good luck this Saturday in Geneva.

Any Lyco or MAC fans driving up for the game here is a helpful link from the Bart website:

Appreciate the directions link....looking forward to a good game in New York. Weather should be nice and cozy I assume!

What are the Hobart injuries as of late heading into the playoffs??

starting TE and RB's are out.  starting QB has a separated shoulder, few other guys banged up here and there - not unusual after a long season.....
