Nice win for the builders.... Looks like the D is doing  a good job.

pawesleyfan, i understand the meeting of people, hopefully we will meet at some other time, maybe this week.  you are correct on the blue route on fridays, good luck with that, you never know.  since it is sept u may get lucky with less traffic heading to the shore.  i agree with you about the boys having to protect the ball.  cant figure out why one week a running back can look so good and the next seem tentative. ajax ran real hard last week so i figure he will start this week.  reading the recap of the widener game, it seems like uncw could not overcome their mistakes.  wesley will have to protect the ball and if they do i expect them to come away with an easier win than the last 2 games.  it is certainly better to be 2 - 0 at this point despite not playing their best games.  i think these games will be benificial later in the season and the stronger opponents will help also.  i think they are trying to get lano in the game more but the 3 -4 seems to take him out, he is a beast on blocking and made a great catch between 2 receivers for the winning td.  go wolverines!!!

  Del Val's LB's really made the offence work. They ran some nice schemes. I still wonder why they went to a 4 man front look later  in the game.. Opened up some run lanes.. If the boys come out fired up like they played the last quarter last week they should be fine.

Defense is definitely working for us right now.  After losing as much as we had on the front two lines one had to wonder.   But the Fairmont State game is looking better and better for us (they just beat a top-20 North Greenville team) .
Will be very interested in seeing how the EHC/NCWC game goes this weekend as we go to EHC the following.
I'm going to the Salisbury-CNU game (dont worry SU backers on here..I can't tell a dive from a smash play so no scouting ).  This was a heck of a game last year in Salisbury and will be interested to see how CNU responds and just how potent salisbury really is.  I'm just praying its not like the last time I went to Salisbury for a Sal-NNA game (we scored, then 77 points later we scored again)

Roll Gulls 56:

It good you have you back!  That was my first homecoming at Salisbury as my daughter was a freshman at the time.  I started following the Gulls Football squad from that day on.  Congratulations and best of luck on obtaining you medical degree and getting married.

Additionally, thanks for reminding me that your brother ran onto the field after a touchdown.  I also remember him runnning over to the visitor's side to heckle the opposing fans also    which was all in good fun.

I hope your attendance at the Salisbury/CNU game will bring some much need luck for the Gulls.

To any Wesley fans making the trip to Chester, PA for the Widener game:  Lets see if we can find a place to tailgate before the game!!!

Get the word out and let us know if you find a particular spot where we can "circle the wagons"!

nnasid:

The last few games betwen CNU and Salisbury were painful losses for the Gulls  .  Hopefully, the tide will turn this season.

In the past, teams use to prepare for Salisbury to defend the option.  The addition of Sheahin adds a wrinke to the Gulls attack, since he is an accurate passer.  It should be an interesting game.


Go Gulls!

dedragon et all travelling from Wesley

see my post on the MAC board related to tailgating/parking etc...

[luvapontiac]

I think SU will have CNU's number this game. I am thinking SU 28 CNU 14.

[SU Backer]

       Hope you're right luvapontiac! We certainly owe CNU.....several tough losses over the last few years, but we did have a big win down there a few years back. This team resembles that team in style of play, but with less flash. Tough defense and crisp execution of the offense and very good special teams play have been consistent in the 2 games thus far. The big differences that I see this year vs. last are 1. Confidence- both in the schemes the coaches are putting forth and in each other. 2. Turnover ratio....+1 so far- quite simply if SU stays on the plus side of the turnover margin they can beat anyone on their schedule, if they turn the ball over their offense has not been able to overcome those type of mistakes. 3. Receiver play- Tillage just doesn't drop the ball and can score from anywhere. Others have stepped up too.
     Good Luck this weekend and GO GULLS!

hey dedragon and pawesleyfan, i think i am going to park in one of the 3 lots near the field unless they are already full.  seems to be the logical place.  i will take a ride by the school tomorrow to check it out and confirm my tailgating position.  i have to get the word out to family and friends who are coming to the game.  i will post tomorrow evening after my scouting expedition.  i may leave school a little early since i finish teaching at 2 and have already canceled football practice for friday.  i think i will get there about 4 or so at this point.  hope to see as many wesley fans as possible, filling the small v stands and maybe spilling into the widener side.

I think SU will have CNU's number this game. I am thinking SU 28 CNU 14.

No way SU scores 28 on CNU's D......I know UMHB scored 51 last week, but SU is nowhere near the talent level of UMHB. I have seen many teams in D3 the past 7 years.....nobody I've seen could beat the UMHB team I saw on Saturday...they were "scary good". UMHB is a team that has handed Mt Union one of only four losses since 1999. 

The SU/CNU series has turned into a very good rivalry. THe game will be a good one, but this biased fan feels CNU will rebound....they probably can't wait to get out of pratice this week and take it out on a real opponent. I would not want to be in a CNU practice this week!!

If anyone is travelling to the game....be safe...see ya Saturday!

[SU Backer]

      CNU85...."no way they score 28"??.......we shall  see Saturday.......some Brockport fans were on this board last week touting their dominance too......
