Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

the last thing we wanted was an angry Brockport team coming down here.

Hey nnasid,

If the builders play as well against Brockport as they did against FSU, then I wouldn't worry too much about an angry Brockport. Brockport should be worrying about confidence right now after getting into an 0-2 hole. They had a lot of costly mistakes and bad play today, very much not like Brockport.

Newport is tough this year, for the first time I feel confident that the Builders can win some quality games.

Alrighty....another great week of ACFC action down, and the surprising Newport Builders are hanging tough at the top of the conference, surprising fans of all kinds! Now comes the fun part when Salisbury travels to CNU to take on the Captains in an exciting showdown from last years playoffs! Should be a great game! CNU atmosphere is getting to be a tough and loud place to play. 

Week 3 predictions
Brockport 28 Apprentice School 35
Buffalo State 14  Wesley 24
Montclair State 3at Frostburg State 10
Salisbury 24 Christopher Newport 20

Go Salisbury!!!!!!!!! Beat the crap out of CNWHO this week boys!! Although SU got killed this week I still love them GO HORNETS OF SU!!!

[cnusfinest54]

First of all Dr Seagull how can you say CNU is not a tough ball club. In our few short years all we have done is took the hard road to trying to become a D 3 powerhouse. I will admit SU has a very good team now.  But looking at how they got where they are now they used playing a cupcake schedule to get good recruits and then make their move to becoming a D 3 power. Remember after we lost to you guys 21-6 and then 20-13 your team dropped us after our first two years. To make things even worse the excuse you all gave us was that you all were seeking harder competition. Ummm lets see you guys didn't willing beef up your schedule until this year. But its whatever with Salisbury because all I know is that I will gladly give Dr. Seagull his victories against CNU in the regular season. But I will tell you ( no matter how we did it, nothing was more sweeter then knocking your 10-0 gulls out of the playoffs last season). O yeah! I think I remember a few Seagull fans talk about how much heart and determination CNU showed to pull out the win against SU last season. And I'm sorry to have to inform you but SU's team was much better last year. I will give credit when credit is do SU defensive unit was a beast last year.  And the offense with Satchell and DJ was explosive. I will even go as far as to say that if they didn't turn the ball over numerous times, SU would have proably blasted W&J  the following week and played MHB in the South Region championship game. But I will also tell you that when you turn the ball over against CUPCAKES DURING THE REGULAR SEASON you can still win and the turnovers will be soon forgot about. But when you turn the ball over in the playoffs and against a quality opponent you can expect to go home early.

But on another note let the trash talking begin I love playing good teams. Go CAPTINS and no matter what the other SU sucks and I don't care if they are 3-1 against us in the last 4 years.

cnufinest-
    I also give credit where credit is due...you are right...you guys came into our house and put us in our place...now if that doesn't light a fire unders the a##es of all of our players I don't know what does....And for the record, lets get off this cupcake schedule of years ago...you play in the USA South...that is like playing in the Sun Belt Conference...but you get an AQ and no body says anything...you did pick up Rowan and McDaniel instead of playing us...who cares...but this is 2005.  I see that CNU got to stomp someones face in the mud yesterday...I hope they are feeling good...on the other hand...Salisbury had their hands full with a good Brockport team that was playing on their turf but did what all good teams do...find a way to win.

    So I got the go ahead for the trash talking to start...well Captains...after giving up 609 yds to Rowan your defense is in for a trackmeet.  The tough comment had nothing to do with your record...it is how you played...when players whine all game about being held...not tough....when players look like they just had their dog die by the second quarter...not tough...BUT...this is the way I would describe CNU...It must be something their coach instills...anyhow...on Saturday when the Seagulls line up...crack each of those players in the front seven(or eight) right in the mouth and they start crying...we will see who the tough team is and who the top 10 team in the country is. My boy Dustin Johnson is planning what is known as a field day on that makeshift defense...it is going to be an eye opener for the rest of the country...cause if you don't know about the gullls now you will know...score prediction...

Salisbury 44 CNU 17

BOYS, IF THIS GAME DOESN'T GIVE YOU A HARD ON YOU JUST MIGHT NOT HAVE A PULSE...GET RIGHT THIS WEEK AND BALL UP SEAGULL STYLE

   Today's Wesley game  shows why the USA SOUTH won't invite the Wolverines for football only!!!! Congrats to the Builders. I have been watching them for ten years and they have always had some great athletes. Looks like some of them stuck around for more than a year!!

[acfcposter]

Big congratulations to Salisbury, Newport News and Wesley! On the same note what a dissappointment Frostburg has become!! This team used to be the class of the ACFC and now they are going to be in the cellar. If our conference is going to grow and gain national respect, then we have to be good from the top to the bottom. It is obvious that Frostburg needs to change something. Maybe they need to bring back the old OC, Eric Day, because they have not been able to score since the new guy came in.
As far as Salisbury is concerned, I really believe that we will look back at the end of the year and say that this was the turning point for them in the season. I know that the season is very young, but for them to come back from that far back in a tough place to play like Brockport, that really says something about the character of those kids. Also, hats off to Coach Sherman Wood and his staff for making the adjustments at the half!
Brockport might be the best 0-2 team in the nation. I have no doubt that Rocco will have them back on track very soon.
Wesley looks really strong and as long as they stay focused, they will contend for the ACFC crown. It looks like the champoinship will be decided when they play Salisbury this year. What a great game that is going to be!
Finally, here are the predictions for this week:

Brockport 28  Newport News 14
Wesley 24  Buff State 17
Montclair 31 Frostburg 10
Salisbury 38  Christopher Newport 24

Congratulations to Salisbury, Wesley, and NNA on the wins this past week.  I don't know if it was the long trip that caused the Gulls the poor start, or what? but I'm glad they 'righted" the ship in time to pull off a win.

The trip to CNU this weekend won't be as long, so I hoping the Gulls have a great start and exact revenge for last year's playoff loss to the Captains.

Wesley is looking strong offensively, and NNA is 2-0 !!!!

Time for the Salisbury/CNU talk to begin.  Thanks for your support Uncle Jessie from Shenandoah.  I hope we can accomodate your wish to beat CNWHO.

Dr. Seagull:

Do you know if DeHaven made it to the game?  I would interested to know how many Gull fans made the trek to Brockport?

[Knightstalker]

I have to agree with Dr. Seagull on this one.  CNU better be well prepared on defense against Salisbury, if not Johnson will eat them alive.  He put up 126 and 2 td's running and 126 and 2 td's passing on Saturday, as I understand.  With all the yards that they gave up to Rowan defense has to be a big concern this year.  CNU has done a remarkable job in fielding a strong competitive team in just a few years since inception but they have to now step up another notch and start beating the Rowans and Salisbury's on their schedule.

Knightstalker:

I hope Salisbury gets off to a quick start and continues to builds on their momentum.  I'm also hoping that the guys remember last years playoff loss to the Captains and are looking to return the favor at Pocomo stadium.
