from THE EDITOR: Spiders Game Will Tell All

My apologies to THE EDITOR...forgot to check my e-mail this morning. Still a great read, as I am watching Grambling vs. Southern at Bayou Classic.  How 'bout Delaware State men's basketball bouncing back from a 126-76 loss to Iona  (Wed.) to knock off Wake Forest 72-65 on Friday.  beepbeep

THE EDITOR
Is the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference suffering from parity, or are they just a weak conference that deserves little respect? In a year when no one team dominated in the MEAC, the Morgan State University Bears had the right combination of wins to take the automatic bid for the FCS playoffs. Though it is of historic importance that the Bears made the playoff for the first time, it was their consistency at the end of the season that made the difference.

Throughout the season the Bethune Cookman University Wildcats received most of the attention and accolades. Most of it was based on early season wins and a built reputation from prior years’ success. In the end the Willdcats fizzled out and with a last chance win against the discombobulated Florida A&M University Rattlers did not do enough at the end of the season to get an at large bid. The same can be said of the North Carolina A&T Aggies.
