wudline, i am not sure who the refs were worse on, they just plain stunk out the joint.  the back judge couldnt find enough reasons to throw a flag so he seemed to make some up, but when he had a chance to make the right call he missed the end zone call being no more than 10 feet away from it.

kingsting/maaggie/wudline, it is safe to say that all schools have a small group of fans whose behavior is an embarassment to the school.  delval fans didnt have any trouble insulting fans and players as they left the game after the victory, so to say that wesley fans were wrong at the end of the half, but delval fans were not at the end is hypocritcal.  all obnoxious fans are rude.

kingsting, as far as the qb change at wesley, the explanation is not very clear.  the new qb is not light years better, some question whether or not better at all.  apparently more emphasis was put on results at practice where schatz was apparently struggling, then the results in the game.  we shall see how is works out, but from your question it seems that you would agree that if the players are of equal ability then it would seem that the senior should be the starter.  it is hard to argue with the change when you look at the stats of the widener game, but upon further review i am not sure if they would have been that good if not for beavers out manuvering the defenders on a couple of the passes.

i am planning on coming up to see this weeks game against salisbury unless the weather sucks as it did the last time wesley was off.  if you tailgate before the game i will look you up.

rain is a possibility at this point although a little early in the week to make the definite call 2 lows could meet over nj/s.e. pa and create a ton of rain the 1 low pressure system could be the tropical storm down in the caribbean right now

Wow, you miss a few days and everything turns into a sinister plot. First of all, let me say that the two screen names was not a ploy to deceive, but instead a matter of not being able to log in with the original (which isn't actually the original, but instead there were two previous, that through lack of use seemed to no longer work---which is what I assumed had happened to last year's as well)thus creating a new name, just recently I tried the old name again and found it did actually still work, then it was merely a matter of confusion as to which name I used. The bottom line is the comments stand, and were certainly of the same tone and ilk, or else wouldn't have cause notice. Thus I apologize to Pat for the "illegality!"

I would indeed agree that there is a fringe element in all fan bases, and sometimes highly competitive contests don't always bring out the best in people.

Upbr we do appear to be headed for some more unpleasant weather conditions this weekend. Not sure the Aggies are "mudders" but hope it might slow down Salisbury's offense a bit. Hopefully, the forcast will brighten as the week progresses.

Hangtime:

Sure, just look for the guy in the Detroit Tigers hat.  Not too many of those around, given their play again this year.

weather looking a  little better now but heavy heavy rains on thurs night and friday. calling for 2-3 inches of rain and high winds

[wesleydad]

upbrmeasap, i hope you are right.  i do not feel like sitting around the house again for the 2nd week in the first 4 of the season.  hopefully the weather will break for the aggies and salisbury game, it should be a good one. 

[KingSting999]

Aggie Fans, let's hope this rain blows off the coast by game time on Saturday. The field has shown that it can take alot of rain and stay in excellent shape. The new drainage system and layout was obviously done first class. However if it's rainy and windy the Aggies passing game will likely to be less effective under these conditions. Salisbury's option running game would then have a big advantage in my opinion.

Under good conditions I look for a very competitive game. Both teams should put points on the board but I don't think the Aggies can afford to spot the Gulls a large lead, as they have done in the first two games, which would allow Salisbury the grind the clock down with their running game. Hoping for more of a punch - counterpunch game with big plays being the deciding factor.

Of course, you all know who I'm pulling for......... " GO AGGIES !!!!! "

unfortunately it now looks like rain on saturday as well w/ winds although this storm will be bringing up the warm air so it should at least be warm! depending on how hard it is raining may not be a huge help to the 'gulls imho the determining factor will be turnovers and field position. with heavy winds and rain field position will be a huge factor in this game and not fumbling deep in your own territory.

Apparently an eventful few weeks since I last posted here- an unfortunate start for the Colonels,
but I believe they are set for much better things as the season moves on.

Outside of Wilkes-Barre, a big win for the Aggies recently. Best of luck keeping it up, although I hear the weather may rain on all of our games on Saturday. Either way, I'll be at my first Wilkes game of the season and looking forward to some good action. Enjoy the games everyone.

weather looking a little better for tomorrow....although dvc should be used to playing in the rain by now w/ previous rainy games. maybe a chance of a shower and windy.

[wesleydad]

any word on the weather in delval.  cant trust the weather channel since it was supposed to be a mess the last couple of days and it barely rained.  making preps to go and wonder if i need my rain gear.

[gordonmann]

It's 67 and cloudy.  I'd bring rain gear but you don't need to wear it yet.

[labart96]

congrats to del val on another big win.

[DVCFan11]

wow!!! aggies with the HUGE win. they should be ranked now correct? i mean they beat the number 3 and 6 ranked teams in D3 so shouldnt they? they also might be the front runners in the mac. i cant wait for next week when the MAC games start
