AF4,

      Looking forward to seeing the boy again! He was the politest D3 football player with a special long snapping ability that I know.  Have a safe and Happy Southern Thanksgiving as well.

PAwesleyfan & Wesleydad,

      Thanks, you and yours have a great Thanksgiving as well. I hope to be in your backyard @ 9:30am Saturday. If there is a spot beside you we'll take it. It worked well last weekend!

[wesleydad]

llama, we should be there by about 915, that is the goal.  i will try to save you a spot, should not be a problem that early.  less than 41 hours till kickoff .  see everyone at the game.

Wesleydad,

Its Friday morning, 27 hrs from kickoff. I just went out for coffee and a newspaper, wearing my official MULES headgear....No fewere than 6 strangers came up, offering encouraging words...."Now, you tell those MULES  TO GO DOWN THERE AND KICK SOME ASSES....they will understand that"

"11-0.....keep it going.....all the way....."

"I read about those MULES....those who undersestimate them are FOOLS"(sounds like Mr. T)

I could not make up the above unsolicited comments, but if I did, I would echo them.

The little Mules had a nice Turkeyday dinner, with family and friends, rested, ate some more, and fell asleep, without a care in the world. Can the same be said for the big, bad, Wolverines?

Ok...here it is...ready or not...Mules 30...Wolverines 24...upset of the day...
(the previous pick is made by the same man who easily picked NCW over W and J--Centenniel Board post 966, on 11/12)  Ps...I liked NCW's game against you early on...a 3 pt squeaker

[wesleydad]

mule, glad you took yesterday off.  i see that the turkey and rest didnt curb your enthusiasm for your squad.  30 - 24 huh.  check out wesley's schedule, only 1 team scored 31 on them all year, and it was a much more vaunted offense then the mules have, uncw, in the first game of the year.  the 27 given up to morrisville was more to taking the other team lightly than to a high powered offense, only 7 in the last 2.5 quarters.  unless the mules score on d or special teams, they will not get to 30.  just last week they only had 21 late in the game against salisbury, who does not have as good a d as wesley.  the other thing i notice is that you have wesley scoring 24 against your top notch d, only 8 pts per game.  starting to realize that the wesley offense is not like anything the mules have played this year.  not to mention the return game, beavers with 4 kickoff returns and newman with a punt return and 1 called back last week.  this could be a good game, if wesley does not turn the ball over, they have done that this year and it kept teams in games and cost them their only lose.  with respect to your d, wesley 31 - 14.  see you on saturday.

Is it Saturday yet??

Wesley 35---- Muhlenberg 10

Sorry muhld!!!! I think somewhere during the first half you may see what others have told you about  that little difference between certian DIV III teams.. I saw it when I went to some of the Empire 8 and Liberty games years ago.
Have not seen that at all in the Centennial.

Good luck to you and your muhls.

Dear Wesleydad,

Hope to have the pleasure of seeing you in the am...better for both that we meet before the contest, rather than after...for the love of the game, these kids are all winners,America's finest youth...student-athletes...what a beautiful thing....may God Bless
you, yours, and all who step onto the field of honor on Saturday at noon...the moment of truth......."the truth shall set us free"

Mules have landed, are grazing and the Muleparents prayergroup is back at work,
praying for a victory

[Teamski]

I think it will be Wesley 38-17 over the Mules....

See you guys there!

 Muhlenberg @ Wesley

The Mules haven't played a team as fast,as big or as balanced as Welsey all year.
The Mules have a better than average D that probably will slow down Wesley for a short time. BUT I have a feeling that Coach Knapp will have more than a few plays that will confuse the Mules D. Remember 2006 UMHB had a great D and Wesley used their strength against them. Play action and throw underneath.... Not only does Wesley pound you they can flat out run. Also Wesley plays has a better than average D and the Mules will have a lot of trouble moving the ball. Coach Drass will use almost everyone on his 52 man roster and keeps the players fresh..

Wesley wins and goes to the south final one more time

[wesleydad]

teamski, make sure you stop by and say hi.  if all goes as planned stone station and the wesleydad group will be next to each other in the tailgate area. 

muledad, before or after the game will not make a difference to me, stop by and say hi.  as i said on another post, the fun has been all the great people i have met during my sons last 3 years playing for wesley.

only 14 more hours.

Everything is in order from our end. Will be pulling out of Llamaville at 5:45 am for a 9:30am arrival in Dover. Looking forward to another great week of D3 tailgating and Playoff football! Wesleydad and PAwesleyfan, I've had a pot of chili slowcooking since 9pm. Hope you can work that into your pregame plans.  Travel safe and we will see you guys in the am.

Congrats to Wesley and the team victory over Muhlenberg. Can not wait to read the stats.
Just think one less muhlenburg fan posting for now.

[dedragon]

Congrats to the Wolverines.  Third straight South Region Championship game!! 

Also, congrats to the Mules on a great season.  You guys were stubborn, just not enough.

[Teamski]

I just got back from the game.  The Mules really put up a tough fight in the 1st half, leading it 7-0 for just about all of it.  Two Wesley turnovers at mid-field didn't help.  But, once again, the defence put up one hell of a stance.  Twice, the Mules couldn't score in the redzone.  This included a blocked field goal.

Wesley opened it right up in the second half with quite a few big plays. including a 80+ yard sweep by Jackson.  Wesley kept it paced at a 2 touchdown spread for just about the rest of the game.  A pair of 2nd half touchdowns by the Mules didn't sway the game a bit.  I wasn't too far off my 35-17 estimate.  The final score, 38-21.....

Now to get the cold out of my cheeks!!
