Just trying to get the teams some props....But if these east teams keep losing it might open up a spot or two...But it's way to early to think about.

Geesh maybe the NON Conference that is the ACFC is one of the better in the country this year.... And wouldn't it be something if two or even three teams deserve to be in the playoffs!!!!!!! Good win for B-Port and another impressive SSU win.
Don't go overboard, but a 10-0 Wesley and a 9-1 Salisbury (or vice-versa njlincolnlion ) had crossed my mind.
Too early to think about that. Both teams have tough ones next week in Montclair and Delaware Valley.

A little deja vu for Huntingdon today. Two years ago against Maryville, HC has a late lead and has MC at a last gasp 4th and long. Our DB makes a great play on the ball on a long pass and gets a bogus interference call to keep the drive alive and eventually MC scores the winning TD on that possession. Today HC up 21-14 very late and has MC at a last gasp 4th and long and MC's receiver makes an obvious push off and makes the catch with NO CALL keeping the drive alive and eventually MC scores the game tying TD on that possession. There was a little extra to the gut punching finish today. On the tying extra point our outside rusher is tackled by MC's end, NO CALL. In the overtime, on MC's possession, on the 2nd down inside the ten as the runner is going down an O-lineman catches him and carries him for three more yards. You guessed it, NO CALL. You might be thinking, well they're just letting them play, but they sure didn't have trouble calling penalties on us during this time frame.
Here's a question for the experts. How did I get through this many years of football and not know that it is a penalty if you try to call timeout when you don't have any left? I could swear that I have seen teams try to call timeouts before and the official just kind of ignored it and said play ball. We got called for that one right before MC tied it late. Is this new or do I not know what I am talking about? Sorry to vent like this, but it was a VERY frustrating last few minutes of the game.

Huntingdon fans, is there anyone to whom you don't want to lose a game more than Maryville?

I can't think of any right now.

Great win today Seagulls! Now this week becomes a huge game, as the schedule eases up a little until Wesley late in the season. This could be a special season if they go 4-0 in these first 4 games.

Great win on the road in a hostile environment. This game had a true college feel to it - CNU has a tremendous facility, lots of fans, the band, etc. Very enjoyable day, especially the big victory. I look to another tough game this weekend against Del Val. As far as the schedule getting easier until Wesley, I'm not sure about that. Del Val is obviously very good, NNA can play and will play hard all day. Geneva jumping over from the NAIA is for real, Morrisville is typical NewYork-big, physical and tough. Obviously I concede Becker @ Homecoming being the least challenging game on the Gulls' schedule. All that said I truly believe this is the best Gulls' squad since the '04 team, and they can roll into the game in Dover unblemished. They are fun to watch and feel they can play with anyone on their schedule. All teams have injuries and have to deal with them. I haven't seen Barnes play since the 2nd quarter at Brockport-he is a very good backer and they need all the horses for their run. Anyone know his status? See you there Saturday and GO GULLS!!

Upon further review, according to the play by play we were called for a substitution infraction here. I should have known that. It was just funny timing that the moment our guy signalled for timeout that the flag was thrown right then. My bad. Guess I didn't know what I was talking about. $:-\$

Widener had to burn a timeout friday because of that same thing. If you huddle up with 12 it wll be called at the snap unless you call a time out. May be a reason so many teams are now going no huddle. I believe that it's also a defensive penalty if they huddle up with 12

CNU85 · September 16, 2007, 01:59:44 PM

So far this season I have watched games in which all the teams were ranked in the top 25(CNU was ranked 23, 12, and 20th,Rown was 10th, UMHB was 4th), with the exception of the Gulls. In my opinion, the Gulls should be ranked. From what I've seen, they are for real and should be higher than 20. They are better than Rowan.

Good luck to SU the rest of the way. The Wesley game should be fantastic.

Also - nice comments from SU fans about the atmosphere and facilities at CNU. Since some of that is my money I'll say "thanks"!!

Bigtoe75 · September 16, 2007, 02:59:34 PM

My point was that the first 4 games are the toughest part of the SU schedule until Wesley. Del Val will be a tough game. SU should then run the table until they get to Wesley, which will be their toughest game. You can never take anybody lightly, but when the schedule came out, I figured them to be 2-2 after the first 4 games. So, they are having a very good year so far, with a long way to go.

PA_wesleyfan,

It's time for directions to Wesley Game. It should be an interesting event this Saturday. All your help will be appreciated.

I'll be staying in Wilmington, DE on Friday night. What time should I leave for the game on Sat? Will it be possible to tailgate, or just blow it off, get to Wesley and wing it from there.

There is a parking area across from the field. I think they may charge $5.00
The rest of the parking is street parking around the stadium. There is a race at Dover Downs that day but we can give you a way around the Downs itself that won't be hard to follow.

Wilmington depending on where you are staying is about 50 miles from Dover.
If the traffic isn't too heavy you can get down there in 45mins
I will get back to you with directions later. I want to make sure I have the correct streets names to get you around old rt1 race traffic. I know the streets just never had to pay attention to the namrs

Leave early!!!! As early as possible. Take Route 1 down from Wilmington. Take the North Dover exit. This is one exit above the track. After the toll, procede the the stoplight. Go straight.You are now on McKee Road but the name with change to Saulsbury Rd. At the third stop light take a left on to Walker Road. At the second light , take a right. You will run into the north end of the field. You can park at the south end and tailgate there.
