Okay there were numerous problems in the Wesley game against Del Val. One of them being penalties. There were too many that hurt WC and ended up being scores. They were all very stupid mistakes as well.
Another being the inaccuracy of Jason Schatz. He was terribly inaccurate and failed to complete passes. I applaud the insertion of Shane McSweeny and his big TD in that game. McSweeny pulled through with that TD. That, I think was a good call to put McSweeny in by the coaches.
Another was fumbles. There were, simply,  too many.
The defense couldnt make stops when they were needed.

There are many many more but these were the big ones. Now Im a gigantic Chris Warrick fan and was devastated to see him graduate. But lets face it, if we still had Warrick then we probably would have stomped Del Val.

 People its sounds like sour grapes because we crushed CMU. And the thing about the coaches: 1.) Chip Knapp knows what hes doing unlike some OCs in D3. (FYI: He was the starting QB at Cornell.)
2.) You know Mike Drass and Coach Knapp are better coaches than CMU will ever have.
3.) Seeing that I know the coaches, hmm... YES THEY ACTUALLY DO HAVE CLASS!!!!!!
Players
1.) You are correct about some of their mouths
Fans
1.) Some of the fans might have acted like that but I doubt that all of them did.

I apologize for my pervious writing BUT that is a big big misguidance of the coaches.

Well if you must know what I was holding my tongue on then allow me to say this first.  I have no excuses for the loss.  Wesley would have won regardless.  WRCTChuck summed it up pretty good, but the game could have been much different for many reasons.

The officiating in the first half was horrendous!  On CMU's opening drive, they drove the ball 70 yards to the Wesley ten.  But wait, there's a flag 10 yards up field for holding on a first down run that would have given CMU 1st and goal.  I saw who the flag was thrown on and believe me it was not a hold, it was a PANCAKE!!

Obviously the refs didn't even know what pass interference of any kind was.  On Wesley's third score they threw a fade to the back corner on 3rd and goal from the 17.  Aaron Lewis was sitting there waiting and looking up at the ball to make a play, out of nowhere comes Wesley's wideout and blatantly shoves Lewis out of the way to make a TD catch.  NO FLAG!!  (Later in the game, the refs flagged a Wesley DB for interference on a play where the ball wasn't even catchable and it was inside the five yard zone.)

Next CMU possession, they go three and out and during the punt a Wesley player TACKLES CMU's punter.  Ref says he got ball, but he clearly did not as the ball went 35-40 yards.  NO FLAG!!

The refs were horrible, even more disgusting towards CMU.  I believe Wesley only had one penalty, and on Wesley's first score (long TD run) their left tackle clearly rocked back on his heels before the snap.  Don't know if the refs were local or not, but regardless, they sucked a big one!


Now, on to Wesley.  Their coaches, players, and fans had no class as far as I could tell.  Yes they have a very good team, but they could use some lessons in humility.

Coaches:  Up 31-0 with less than 10 minutes to go and you're throwing bombs?!?!  Gimme a break!  I hope you get the same medicine from UMHB, UWW, or Mount if you get there!

Players:  I wouldn't kiss THEIR mothers with THEIR mouths.  I haven't heard a mouthier nastier group of football players since my high school days against our bitter rivals.

Fans:  Can't speak for all of them, but as my brother and I were walking back to my vehicle most of their fans were booing and hissing my brother telling him that he sucked!  Imagine that.  I will say this, there was ONE Wesley fan who told my brother he played a good game.  Other than that, it was disgusting the way we were treated.

All I can say now is this:  Tartans, work hard in the offseason and come back with a vengeance.  Maybe you can get those guys next year at Gesling and we can show them how to play and cheer with class.

TartanPlayer,
I would like to say congrats to your season 11-1 is an impressive record as PA_Wesleyfan said. But ready or not the game is still going to be played and the outcome would probably be the same... Wesley victory. No offense. Once again congrats to CMU.

BoBo
Keep in mind that both teams have to win one more game to play each other in the semis. Who knows St. Johns could crush Whitewater.

pg04,
Thats defenatly sour grapes.


Go Wesley!

I only got one thing to say. Mount Union better watch out for the Wesley Wolverines in the Stagg Bowl. Because Wesley is gonna get there and they are gonna BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be ready for the Wesley/Mary Hardin Baylor game. It looks like I'll be at the game. Wesley has an edge going into it. Using their 4 headed running game (Jackson, Robinson, Coroma, and Penewell), their excellent pass game headed by the D3 player of the year Chris Warrick, and their tough defence. The coaching staff is also a plus with Chip Knapp coaching the offense and Mike Drass coaching the defence.

Go Wesley, and destroy Mary Hardin Baylor!

I totally agree, Koroma will be a stud this year, and he is a nice replacement for Kevin Nelson who graduated last year. I am almost positive that they will find a WR to compliment Marcus Lee. I think Coach Chip Knapp will find a way to keep them scoring points on offense despite losing two key players.

Wesley has not only lost Beavers but they lost a good recruit named Akeem Richards (WR). I don't if you know about this or not. Even though Wesley has lost 2 good WR I think they will be fine this year.
