If we want to talk about transfers, the Maddock family. 3 schools in 3 years?

Mike Drago

12:38

Actually, its four teams in four years.

12:39

They go to Oley Valley and play for Fleetwood through a join sponsorship agreement between the schools

MC Hammer

12:39

Fleetwood did some nice things last season- glad to hear they've improved

I’ve beem telling you guys the last two years the tigers were coming, you didn’t believe me.

Mike Drago

12:39

Well, look who showed up to stir the pot!

12:40

Was wondering where you were, Rule

Jan and Menet leading the lions against Idaho this saturday, I don’t remember there being two starters from berks before on a top BIG 10 like that, not to mention Johnsons a captain on the team as well

Mike Drago

12:40

You don't remember it because it's never happened before, at least not in the Big Ten Era

Really incredible situation

So happy for each of those guys, and their families

I'm going to keep it on the field because the off-field discussion generates too much angst. I'm an alum and glad the program stepped up with the scheduling, but considering the 29 graduates, did Coach Keeley bite off more than he could chew this year? Exeter, CD, McDonogh, Malvern, Boyertown, Wyo... Probably 3-4 losses in there.

Mike Drago

12:42

McDonough and Malvern were two-year schedule commitments. BC knew what it was in for when it took those games.

The problem is finding teams to play. That's why McDonough, Malvern and Central Dauphin were on the schedule in the first place.

12:43

BC certainly doesn't want to go out of state for games, but it can't find teams in the region wanting to play them

Tom Silva

12:43

Tigers will be improved, but they will most likely lose by 4-5 TDs against Wyo and BC

Mike Drago

12:43

You can't expect any team to go from 1-9 to beating Wyo or BC in a single season

Rob

12:43

Thoughts on Pottsville vs Wyo?

Mike Drago

12:44

Sounds like Pottsville has a really good team, maybe its best since the Tide reached the state title game about 10-12 years ago

Will be a handful for the Spartans

That's been a great series over the years, hoping it continues

Also glad to see Pottsville bounce back after some tough season. Good people there.

Who you got in the final backyard brawl

Mike Drago

12:45

Get back to me on that . . . in about 7 weeks

How about a little love for Lincoln Lutz who had a huge game against Exeter last week and was awarded the game ball

Mike Drago

12:45

There you go, congrats Lincoln

Cougarfan

Do you think that Kutztown might be a sleeper team this year

Mike Drago

12:46

No, not this year, sorry

Exeter gave the game away to BC with stupid penalties. What can They do not have the same result Friday night?

Mike Drago

12:47

Not commit 19 penalties, for starters

Mike

12:47

I'm going to predict now Wyomissing beats BC this year. I am not impressed with their size or depth. Tough times ahead.

ThatGuy

12:47

The BC vs McDonough game was a close one last year, I figure that state powerhouse is gonna come in hot after last years close loss...especially after there 2 hour drive.

Mike Drago

12:48

Definitely a home-field advantage when the other team has to drive two hours for a game

Jaime Ramos

12:48

How’s Boone looking with Coach Flowers?

Mike Drago

12:48

1-0, and more wins to come

Matt

12:49

Standing up for your program. I was thinking Wilson’s coaches should have said something when the lost to Pittsburgh catholic by 5 Tds a few years ago.

Mike Drago

12:49

Most of those kids were from Pennsylvania

Mike Drago

Wyo's Max Hurleman has D1 offers
