Yeah !! I was posting the score for a MSU fan!!  And I wouldn't worry about a game played in 1997 cause its almost 2006.  However, I did listen to that game on the radio and it was probably one of the biggest homer officiated games I ever heard.  Rowan probably would have had a similar fate in facing the BIG PURPLE!!

Its hard for Rowan fans to respect the MAC after their last two games against RU.  Maybe, if the MAC would schedule more NJAC teams during the regular season, more respect would come from the NJAC and RU.

I'm hopeful that with the size of the MAC decreasing that more games can be made with NJAC teams to fill regular season schedules.  I believe Widener has a home and home with RU soon and it would be nice to see DVC or Lyco play some regular season games with the stronger teams in the NJAC.

Good turnaround this year for your boys!!  Honestly, I think Hobart is going to beat DVC, but if Rowan can beat Union; I would welcome a rematch this time @ DVC.  It's a short ride for RU.

Same to you.

AC,

Good post, and frankly, I am surprised a bit especially since you have so much bad karma.

I agree that the changing composition of the MAC may make for more cross Delaware River games in the future. 

I will grant that NJAC has some good teams - mostly the usual suspects.  However, the MAC seems to be a rolling boil with someone always poised to break to the top.  Naturally there are a few programs always in the hunt for the crown - but it just seems to me that on average the NJAC cannot contend with the MAC league v. league.  Also - I grew up in NJ so I don't want you think I have a PA bias.

It will be interesting to monitor and see what happens next.

By the way - I listened to the Union game and those boys flat out bring it.  If RU hopes to win they will have to bring their "A" game.  IC is a good team and a great program and they were in a footrace they just could not win with the Dutchmen.

It will be interesting - particularly with the injuries - to see how the Profs fare this week.

All the best.  (not flippant - my signature line)

Well done Mac Attack 3 out 4!!! Congrats to Widener and Wilkes should be commended on a great season. As for my Aggies they had me nervous at half time but got things going in the second half. No more of this stuff they need to bring it the first half from now on!!! I should be able to make it over to the hobart game this week and hopefully watch a Aggie win!!!  Although i didnt make it to the game i listened on the radio and the kicker bill miller absolutely laid the lumber to curry's return man i wished i had seen it in person!!!

RM,

Thanks - who is providing the coverage?

btw - anyone who wants to listen in on the Rowan-Union game can probably catch in on the sporstjuice.com site just be forewarned that it will most likely be heavily tilted toward the Ducthmen - "not that there is anything wrong with that!"  "No, of course not."

"My mother's a Dutchmen . . ."

Go Aggies - MAC Attack!

All the best.

Simba,

Are you out there?  Any attempts to see a playoff game in the offing?

Ub,
it was an awesome block!!!  Like it stated in the "Philly Burbs" it looked like the runner ran full speed right into a fire hydrant.  Bill Miller just stood there, turned sideways and the kid bounced off of him so hard all you could hear from everyone in the stands in unison was "ooowww".   It had to be the toughest, hardest block I saw just about all season and Bill did it effortlessly.  

Looking for an Aggie win this Saturday against Hobart!  ;D

GO MAC!  MAC ATTACK!!!

Lycos80:

Radiomike is referring to the Hobart station's broadcast on WEOS.  They do a nice job.

I'll also be broadcasting the contest for Delaware Valley on www.sportsjuice.com with pregame at 11:30 AM.  I suspect you listened to me last week for Curry/Del Val (which I appreciate it).

Ted Baker and Avery Dove do the game. I filled in on color for a few games this year, but mostly deal with the production and tech.

upbrmeasap.....Yes it was a nice hit from the kicker, who dosent look like the average licker. The game was turning into another nail biter then the flood gates opened.

Nice Job Widener and Moravian.....Nice effort Wilkes...at least you made it to the dance.


FYI...Del Val QB was name The Philadelphis Outstanding Amateur Athlete.

Go AGGIES...BEAT HOBART!!!

2000

FDU-Florham   William Paterson   22-23

1999
Delaware Valley   William Paterson   33-38
William Paterson   FDU-Florham   7-17

As you can see this year NJAC 3 Mac 1, more games than most years.  Overall NJAC 8 MAC 6 counting playoffs (both ECAC and NCAA)
Comparing league to league top to bottom, I think the NJAC is stronger at the top, Rowan has a perion of continued dominance that MSU has occasionally interupted.  The MAC seems to rotate at the top more often.  The middle tier teams are probably even.  For the NJAC that would be TCNJ, Cortland State and possibly West Conn.  Bottom feeders probably even, give the MAC the edge due to more teams in the conference in its current form.
