Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

On the old News

It is a disgrace how a knuckle head like this can shame the current S.U. team, coaching staff, and entire University.  This is an insult to all previous Salisbury football alumni and the mind-set they believed was instilled in the football program.  It is unfortunate that half the defense was lost in this incident.  The current players have the selfish and stupid decisions of those young men to thank for this loss.  It doesn't look like Gooch learned anything from this fight in the mug shot. 
One of the things that you have to learn as a D-3 football player is that you're not entitled to anything, especially at Salisbury.  A team has to earn respect and maintain it.  There are no scholarships.  They only thing that makes you special are your teammates.  That is what is great about D-3.  This is a bunch of guys who love football so much that they devote the time of a scholarship player just to be able to play and when you have that balance thrown off by things like this; it hurts. 
It takes a lot more positive to erase the negatives.

Go Gulls   

As a former player from Salisbury's team who still attends the university, please don't comment on a situation you know nothing about. It's not always your actions that get you in trouble, sometimes it's just the color of your skin. Let's just say most of those guys were innocent and had nothing to do with the situation and WILL be back on the field and roster.

[SU Backer]

      Gulls need to build from last week's performance and roll on this weekend......I really feel like SU will get it done for homecoming in a big way. The program proved it is bigger than any player or even group of players by their performance @ SJF. The guys playing aren't thinking about the people that are not there, they are focused on one game at a time and playing to the best of their ability....kudos to the freshman linebacker Leon that stepped in a did a good job. Ironman awards to Chandler and Cynewski that both wound up playing just about every snap. I'm glad I was wrong about Chandler's injury ending his senior season....way to go fellas
Go Gulls!! good luck to all the ACFC teams...

[XSUGull]

My unprofessional expert picks for Week 7:
XSUGULL season record: 11-7-2*

A 2-2 weekend is not what I was looking for so its time to get back on track. I'm looking at going 3-0 with my picks this week. I'll start things off in the land of the bird.

Lake Erie at Salisbury
Lake Erie put up some points last week against the Apprentice School (47) with a very balance attack. They threw for over 250 yards and eclipsed the 200 yard mark on the ground as well. With Jarrell Chandler back and at full strength for the Gulls you have think that Lake Erie might not be able to run as effectively against SU as they did last week against the Shipbuilders. The air attack for Lake Erie might not be able to have as much success because of the Salisbury pass rush. Offensively for the Gulls I think this is the week that QB/WR Ronnie Curley gets the hat trick. He will rush, pass and catch a TD. SU has scored over 60 points in each of its last three homecoming affairs (2005: 66-20 vs. Buffalo State; 2006: 65-7 vs. Morrisville State; 2007, 79-20 vs. Becker). I don't know if Salisbury can match the 79 points from last year but I think they will at least hang half a hundred on the scoreboard. Salisbury 63, Lake Erie 21.

Frostburg State at Ithaca
Ithaca is going to be a tough test for the Bobcats. FSU is coming off a 21-13 win over Southern Virginia but the Bombers out of Ithaca are going to be more on the level of the Washington & Jefferson team FSU faced in Week 1. Frostburg will hold its own for a while but Ithaca will cruise to its fifth win of the season. Ithaca 41, Frostburg State 17.

Apprentice School at Wesley
Wesley has clearly rebounded from its Week 1/2 surprise against Delaware Valley. They have run off four straight wins and I think the Apprentice School will have to play perfect football with the Wolverines making a lot of mistakes to steal this one in Dover. Wesley will give the homecoming crowd something to cheer about early and often. Wesley 55, Apprentice School 13.

Enjoy the hall of fame weekend.  I will not be in attendance.  I am going to take care of things from the office (and knock out the remainder of the hoop programs while listening to the game).
Congrats on the HOF

Sorry for those of you that take offense to another posting about this -- I'm sorry, I just can't let this comment go.  I read the article and saw some of the pictures of the mugshots of the people involved.  Lets just say this doesn't appear to be a "color of your skin" issue... and any non-biased observer can see that by viewing the photos of each person that was arrested. 

Another thing... most teams would suspend or kick off the team, players who are even involved in situations where a police department calls for assistance from 6 other agencies. 

I commend Sherman Wood for taking action right away.   Hopefully the players involved are accepting the appropriate level of responsibility unlike the poster I've responded to.  FYI, its nearly impossible to get out of disorderly conduct charges that result from a fight in a parking of a bar. 

Good luck to the rest of the year, Salisbury fans.  Nice win last weekend.

Congrats to Shane  from Wesley for being National QB of the Week.  I remember meeting him and his parents at the Stagg Bowl last year and am happy to see him playing so well with his team.  They have always scared me to death.  Olinemom.

[Teamski]

I'm thrilled that I will be able to make the Wesley game tommorow.  I took a day of leave (I'm USAF) to go.  You can't miss me as I am the geek in the Wesley #18 jersey with my wife tugging on my jersey to get me to sit down, heheheee.  Do drop by and say hello!

Just got back from the Wesley- NNA game.  Wesley won 48-0 in a spirited game that resulted in the ejection of Jon Lanouette and the guy he was trading shoves with.  There were a couple incidents including a punch to the helmet of a Wesley player that wasn't called, causing coach Drass to stop the game to talk it over with the officials.

Wesley did well on both sides of the ball.  However, three turnovers (2 fumbles and an interception) in the first half blunted the Wolverine offense and kept the score 20-0 at the half.  More ball drills....

There was an NNA player that had to be taken away via ambulance in the 4th quarter.  I hope he is ok.

Congratulations to Jon Lanouette for breaking the Wesley record for all-time receptions.  Well done!

So it is on to Weber Int. in warmer climates.  Once again, if Wesley can keep the ball off the ground, it will be one tough nut to crack.

  I have been going to Wesley games for a long time and have never seen such fierce hitting throughout a game(most of it legal) by both teams. I don't think the Lanouette  incident would have warranted ejections if not for the things that preceded those hits. I think NNA wanted to come out and bang with Wesley and then lightning struck and they came unhinged a little bit. Both teams got a little chippy away from the ball and things escalated. The injury to the Builders player
changed things.

   Where were you seated today? I believe that was you seated next to us near the press box

Sorry we didn't stick around after the game. The wife wasn't feeling well and stayed in the car all of the second half which also wasn't a very good experience because of the rather rambunctious youth surrounding the car.  She walked entirely to much. You would have enjoyed the unrehearsed speech the kid gave last nite

NNAsid

Let us know when you here anything about the injured player.

I was wearing a black fleece and sat next to Blugis' parents about 4 rows down from the press box right on the 50.  It was WAY too cold to be wearing the jersey as an outer garment today....

Then that wasn't you!! We were seated at the press box door side two from the top.
Maybe our paths will cross at the Gallaudet game.

[Teamski]

Maybe!  We'll see if I can take leave for it....

For those of you who didn't make the game, watch the highlights to see Beavers' punt return TD dive.  It's worth the watch!!
