FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[SaintsFAN]

ernie,

I WILL be there next weekend for the upset, I mean game in Kentucky.  Hopefully the Saints have some momentum for next week, coming off a big win in Bethany? 


Maybe we can meet Bob Gregg also.  If they are coming down. 

Hopefully we see a helluva game.

[EC Warrior]

So wait a minute, does all this fighting mean I don't have a fanclub?

EC,

I don't know about a fanclub, but you were without a doubt a top level Dback (despite what I said earlier), but I couldn't let you get too full of yourself, as some of you W&J guys tend to do . 
I like how u keep it lite and not get too serious, unlike a certain CRY BABY we both know.

I know you might not be looking that far ahead, but how far do you think Mr. Efficient Bobby S. can take the Prez. this year. 

Thanks man, maybe we'll get you in the fanclub eventually.

As fool Cool Bob Swallow, his fanclub is alive and well.  He will be #1 in every passing category when it's all said and done.  I think he takes this team at least a few rounds deep in the playoffs, and if they can find another gear, I don't think a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th round would be out of the question.  He took them to the 2nd round last year, but that was mostly behind a strong running game.  This year the offense revolves around him, and with his efficiency he can take them relatively deep.  But the question is, Bob will lead, will the rest of the Prez follow?  We will see what type of leader he is when playoffs roll around.

First things first tho: Waynesburg.  There is no chance W&J is looking ahead to the playoffs.

We'll be there, hopefully with AQ hopes in tow.

What's your stadium status?  I know we're playing at Dixie Heights.

[EC Warrior]

I am curious to see if anyone from Waynesburg does a better job at spatting than Tom McCafferty does.  This will be one of the key matchups in the game.  I was gonna say Nick Cherish, but that's not even fair, since not only did he have the biggest tri's in D3, his spat jobs were tops in NCAA (all divisions) during his days.

[PittTBCW]

Waynesburg should pray for rain I think. That is the only chance they have at playing W&J tough. I think the Presidents will roll this weekend.

[South Willy]

SaintsFAN...

I just hope the weather claers up for the BC passing game. If Joyner is on like he was last week your in for a long day, but that's a big if. BC is also running the ball much better this season. I enjoy getting single coverage from your BD on Cruse all day but that hasn't happened all season.

Should be a great game.

[Bob.Gregg]

Unless it's a driving rain, I see the wet turf HELPING the Presidents.

They are precise in their routes.

Other than being a little "off" on very rare occasions, (18-30, 230 yards), Swallaw has been touch perfect.

AND the Presidents can, and WILL, run the football.

From W&J's standpoint, I say, drizzle on, all day long!

[SaintsFAN]

Bob,

The stadium is scheduled to be finished in January.....the game is to be at Dixie Heights.  Its not a bad stadium to have a small college game at. . . stands on both sides. . .

They are still moving dirt and whatnot with the bulldozers now.


Willy,

I think you'll like what you see of the Thomas More secondary. . . they've improved it greatly with the additon of West at CB. . . he has great closing speed. 

its going to be a good match up , I believe.  The rain plays into our hands. .

Ya I don't see Bob having a lot of trouble unless there is a hurricane.  Defensively, I don't see Waynesburg being much of a threat throwing the ball.  Whether it's raining or not, W&J will be focused on stopping the run.

So, I guess everyone has officially put B. Swallow in the #1 spot among W&J QBs.  I'm still a little skeptical, and maybe b/c I've only seen him play twice in person.  His efficiency is unmatched and his pose is as good as Dawson's, but he never gets touched while dropping back to pass.
Dawson is the top dog to me b/c pressure didn't bother him.  My sophomore year we put alot of pressure on him, and sacked him about 4x.  I think I even remember him smiling once after taking a hard sack, then the next play he unloaded a 69 yd TD bomb to Virgin. 
I wonder if Swallow can handle pressure and still perform?

P.S
E.C there is no chance of me joining your fanclub

[Wes Mantooth]

i think its time for some predictions.

TMC @ Bethany

I look for Tommy Moe to roll in this one as pay back is a (you fill in the rest)
Collier runs wild for 198 and three Td's. Bethany maybe hangs tough in a couple years.

TMC 38 Bethany 7

Frostburg @ Westminster

Westminster is now officially the worst team in the PAC. They have no talent on either side of the ball. I know alumni are not thrilled with a team that used to be a NAIA national title contender goes to a bottom of the barrel D3 team. Frostburg wins this one.

Frostburg 28 Westminster 10

Saint Vincent @ Geneva

Geneva rolls in this one as Bondi runs and throws for 5 td's. This one is over about halftime. Saint Vincent's time is coming as Colbert used to put some offensive gameplans on us at W&J in the playoffs while he was at Bridgewater.

Saint Vincent 7 Geneva 45

Thank god for this game otherwise this might one of the worst slates of games in the history of the PAC.

Super Bowl of the PAC. 7-0 vs. 7-0

#8 W&J @ #21 Waynesburg

I am not impressed with Waynesburg and that has nothing to do with my bias towards W&J. The prez step up for big games and the Heller wall is not going to intimidate them at all. I look for Gitlitz to have 22 tackles 9 solo and a FF. Offensively the burg can blitz all day long out of the 3-4 and they will get burned as Swallow is not affected by pressue like Chris Edwards could be at times. Also Sirianni has concocted a nice screen game that will neautralize the blitz. Todd Young chest bumps with the lineman will be plenty. Swallow has 3 td's and runs for one supermanning over the goaline.

W&J 31 Waynesbug 13

Big Ern i do not think i will be at the game but i have not made up my mind yet. I have a game friday and films usually follow in the morn. Get at me.

[PittTBCW]

Prediction Time:

TMC @ Bethany

TMC is on the road against the Bison after a heartbreaking loss to Geneva. TMC is getting things going as their young players are getting experience while Collier and the defense is playing tough. Bethany put up alot of points last week vs Westminster but they will face a tougher Saints defense that will make things tough.

TMC 21 Bethany 14


Frostburg @ Westminster

Westminster is wondering what happened to them. They have been beaten handedly by TMC and Bethany and play home to visiting Frostburg. Its a good think they have good tailgate parties because they will need to be impaired to witness this one.

Frostburg 35 Westminster 6

Saint Vincent @ Geneva

Geneva won a close one last week vs TMC. This week they get a breather. SVC will face a good team that is out of thier league. SVC is looking for thier first win but the Golden Tornadoes will be too big, too fast, too physical under the lights in Beaver.

Geneva 42 SVC 7


PAC Game of the Week:

W&J @ Waynesburg

The battle of undefeated teams in the PAC square off is Greene County. Its a short ride to Waynesburg but their is a homefield advatage. The one sided stands and train tracks behind you at Wiley Stadium create a unique environment. The Waynesburg faithful will be ready for this game. However, the Yellow Jackets will not. W&J is out on a mission this year and they are going to show why they are contenders this year. Swallow and company are a threat in the air and on the ground. I look for a big perfomance from Swallow and McCafferty while Jones and Matthews get it done on the ground behind thier offensive line. The defense is not getting much attention this year but when they shut down Heller and force the Yellow Jackets to throw you will see why they are the best defense in the PAC.

W&J 41 Waynesburg 7


Grove City and Thiel off

GOOD LUCK to all PAC Teams! 


Keep Fighting TOMCATS!!!!!

here's my opinion on dawson,edwards, and swallow

-all three had unbelievable accuracy. edwards had the strongest arm followed by dawson with swallow bringing up the rear. i caught balls from all three, this is the order of arm strength, dawson's might have been a little underrated.

dawson- great qb, threw for over 10,000 yards. was a playmaker, didn't get rattled. if certain things occurred or did not occur during his senior year this discussion would be who is the 2nd best qb in dubj history behind dawson. however, this isn't about woulda, coulda, shoulda. limited playoff success but his sophomore and junior year he was untouchable. his senior year brought him back to mortality and left the door open for swallow to make his move.

edwards- over 7,000 career yards. could throw the ball threw a brick wall AND hit the scoreboard from the 10 yard line at cameron. could get rattled when hit. stoic on the field. no real emotion either way. was a good and bad thing. rocket arm is his claim to fame. AND the most playoff success out of any qb on this list to date.

swallow- making moves. accuracy MIGHT be the best of all three. all 3 were amazingly on point with their throws. tied with dawson for best touch passes. doesn't have the rocket launching arm but doesn't need it. he is better than edwards but i'm not putting him past dawson...yet. let's see how the playoffs pan out and not to mention next year before we take the crown from dawson's head.

top dogs:
1. dawson-(let's face it, if things continue as they are, he's just warming the seat for swallow.
2.swallow- barring an injury or a radical change of behavioral choices he'll be top gun soon enough.
3. edwards- i'd take edwards over either for a reunion im dodgeball tourney. ern i would pick a blind armless girl over you.

-ECwarrior what is it that attracted bigern to heath high again??

[bigerneatsboogers]

on a technical note...

when i say i caught balls from all 3 i only mean in practice. i never played a down. ECWarrior is my hero. i got #14 tattoed on my inner thigh...








....seriously

What "certain things" happened in Dawson's senior year?  

I think saying "limited playoff success" is too good of a compliment.  Dawson won 2 playoffs games in his career.  Bob already has half of that (Edwards only had 2 wins also I believe, but we can agree he is not in the top 2).  I understand your point that Bob will be considered the best after he puts up some more numbers, it is just a matter of time now.  His playoff numbers/wins will put this argument to bed anyways.
