Hey Union89 -

Thanks for the compliment on page 2501. Very much appreciated.

Looking forward to Saturday's game!

You deserve the accolades for a very well done and comprehensive piece of work.

U89 just hopes your football team is not as impressive come Saturday.

In all seriousness, I was at the Union/Muhlenberg game last year and was very impressed with the team....the Mules dominated the Dutchmen in every aspect of the game.

Any thoughts on this years contest??

I haven't seen our team play yet ... didn't go to Wilkes and off last week. Obviously we are very young at key positions and I'm sure our play will reflect that over the course of the year. We'll have our hands full on Saturday! Union is always a solid program.

+k to Falk. Is it me U89 or are the Mules fans just awesome? dlip thinks back the past two years and all he can recall is great posts by Mules fans. dlip is thinking that Saturday is going to be a great game.

come on dlip get w/ the program...all schools from PA are cool  8)   pbr has had many friends graduate from muhlenberg...its only 30 minutes from pbr's crib

EDIT: Plus the worlds oldest brewery and fantasmic beer....yuengling

Don't they serve food too.  JT and MJT visited the brewery a few years ago.

believe they do now, back in the day it was strictly a tour then lets go consume! u want food? here is  some herr's pretzels....

fwiw pbr agree's w/ the mules sid ...they are very young and at this stage of the season pbr gives the nod to union. pbr see's a 21-10 maybe 21-14 union win. the hope for mules is a long drive for union and they are emotionally spent after the big win over ithaca since its very hard to get charged up again 2 weeks in a row.

FYI to those of you that get Time Warner Sports in the Central New York market. The Hobart-Carnegie Mellon game will be broadcast live at 12pm on Channel 26.

I'm not sure if its' being shown in other Time Warner markets i.e. Western New York and the Capital region.

Did the Herr's tour too.  Their chips are good too.  Less salt does make a tastier potato chip.

[K-Mack]

Congrats on 2500 pages, y'all.

So K-Mack needs a little advice from the LLPP. Coming to town this weekend. Definitely going to Rochester-SJF at 7, but for the early game

a) Carnegie Mellon-Hobart (starts at noon and shorter drive)
b) St. Lawrence-Alfred (might need the 1 p.m. kickoff since I fly in that a.m., and have never seen either team play)

Someone in the know, help me decide.

Also, if any of you are in the area on Saturday, definitely drop me a line. Keith@D3football.com or the ATN board or here or whatever.

(secretly wants Tennessee to magically pull out a W on Saturday, FWIW)

Where are you flying into?  If it's Rochester, Alfred is about 81 miles (75-90+ mins) directly south on the 390.  Geneva is 46 miles (about 50 mins) east of Rocho on the NYS thruway (i-90).

I'd actually advise a triple dip of going to Hobart-CMU first half, listen to 89.7 FM WEOS en route to Alfred, see Alfred late 1st-early second half.

Roll up to Rocho, grab a garbage plate at Nick's (if that's still around), then hit the courage bowl for the night cap.

Otherwise, my biased opinion is Bart-CMU.  The last two games have been decided by a combined 6 points.  The Larries are improved (at least good enough to beat Norwich) but may get stomped by Alfred.

Thought about the Triple dip, but looking at the map, I wasn't sure it was possible necessarily. Or worth it. Though I think when I had that thought, I'd forgotten about the staggered start times at Bart & Alfred.

That's a heck of a lot of driving, but I would like to see all three campuses.

Even selfishly I'm torn. I've seen Hobart and CMU, and never the other two ... but shorter drives are always fun. People I'd like to meet at both places.

So basically I came for the biased opinion. Good stuff, it helps.

Pep would add that the drive between Geneva and Alfred (usually 90 min), no matter what routes one takes to get through the Finger Lakes, is quite enjoyable. Pep would recommend from Geneva, take Rt. 14A south (left off Rts. 5&20 west of the Boz) to Penn Yan, then take Rt. 54 South to Bath, where you can pick up I-86 West....take Exit 33, right on Karrdale Ave., right on Rt. 21 thru Almond, right on Rt. 244....straight into town to the light where you take a couple lefts and follow drive into McLane Parking Lot. (If you're coming to Alfred, let Pep know and he'll reserve a parking spot behind the Merrill Field grandstand, which is a left coming into town)

Follow your tracks back to I-86, go east to Exit 34N, follow Rt. 36 north to Dansville where you hit I-390 north to Rochester. Easy!

Let Pep know if you're coming; he'll give you the nickel tour and accentuate all of the positives of Alfred where Pep is serving a life sentence. 

`Bart kickoff @ noon. Awesome tailgating at Bristol Fieldhouse parking lot behind the field. Fans would love to party w/you K-Mack! Hope to meet you at the festivities.Go `Bart!!!

I said it earlier on the LLPP, but since you have no horse in the race K-Mack I think your best bet is going to Geneva.  From your perspective you're looking for the best game and Bart-CMU gives you the best chance of an exciting finish.  If the Pumpkins come out flat again you may regret the decision and we'd absolutely love to have you down at Merrill, but you can wait for the first round of the playoffs to make the trip!

On Saxon Warriors!!!

You guys are making me think I should try to do all three. That would mean first half at Hobart though, because of the earlier kick, and second half at Alfred, where all predictions are that it will no longer be a game by the time I get there.

90 minutes mean I miss some game. And this is going to be a LOT of driving. K-Mack thinks he will hate himself on Saturday.

P.S. LOL @ MJT.

Well it's about ****ing time! What a ****in joke that Red Hawk **** was. Here you have this great college, with amazing academic and athletic history, known by all as the Engineers and then they started pulling this Red Hawk **** out of no where. dlip was always like what the ****. Anyway in all seriousness dlip thinks its a good move. RPI is the Engineers. Try calling Adam Oates a ****ing Red Hawk.

That quote jumped out at me when I read the article a few days ago.  Now that athletics have been getting some serious attention from the administration, it's important for all the teams speak with a single voice--well, at least when introducing themselves.

I'm going to keep an eye on home field Susquehanna.  I have no idea how to handicap their game v. Lycoming.  The MAC teams always seem willing to beat the snot out of each other, but will Lyco bring that 'tude to an out of conference game?  If Susquehanna wins this Saturday, they could be a team to make some serious hay in the LL.
