hey backer, pride, gull, where is the tailgating area for salisbury. last time i was there the only area that i saw that was being used by some was across the street from the field. is there any specific spot to park? i know the field is in an industrial park away from the campus. any info you can give will be helpful.

teamski, look us up when you get down there, i always wear my sons army bucket hat and am easy to find.

ski, i agree with you for the most part. wesley seems to be the better team and if they play that way they should win. it seems that they have not shown all that they have on offense so far this year and this week will be a good time to bring it all out. i am not sure how salisbury will defend them with the lose of the players earlier in the year, they did not play well against delval. salisbury seems to have stepped up the d the last couple of games but i am sure that the teams they have played dont compare to wesley. should be fun game and the weather looks to be in the low 60's and sunny. see you there.

Wesleydad.....unfortunately Salisbury is probably the least tailgate friendly place I have been to (especially if your tailgate includes alcohol)....and I went to every home and away for the previous 4 years. I really feel they have stepped up even more this year in checking of the "red cups". If you want to just grill etc., then you have a few options but not many. The street the stadium is on has a few lots south of the stadium that fill up pretty early. In the future I have been told there will be a designated area, but I will believe it when I see it. This should be another good game....Go Gulls!

backer, thanks for the info. plan on being there about 1030 - 1100. will have to see how it goes.

Wow, talk about insult to injury. Wesley isn't even listed on the NCAA Regional rankings. Man, that sux. They really need to move out of the ACFC and into a real conference. This whole scheduling headache is taking it's toll.

su guys, any word about the players that were removed earlier being reinstated. i have heard, unofficially, that some of them may get reinstated in time for the wesley game. not sure how that would look for the program if they are brought back at this time. if, as has been mentioned earlier by someone else, some of them had nothing to do with the situation then one would wonder why they werent allowed back earlier than this week? also, would it be good for the gulls if they are brought back since the team seems to have stepped it up since the situation. as i said, only heard that it might happen, no official info.

I know that Justin Acker has been on the sidelines the past few weeks and he played in last week's game.

As far as the other players involved, I haven't heard anything.

As XSUGull has already mentioned, Senior Justin Aker (#1) DB and Co-Captain is back, and according to the attached link a Marcel McCain was also on the team. In checking SU's roster, I saw a Marcel McCain, however I couldn't find a Ricardo McCain (one of the 5 players referenced), therefore I don't know if they are one in the same person.

Would someone down in the "Bury" respond to an earlier post regarding the status of Bobby Sheahin?

I think that Marcel McCain and Ricardo McCain are the same person. I am pretty sure that Acker and McCain have returned to the team while the other three are no longer with the program. I'm not sure if McCain traveled to Becker this past weekend but I do know that Acker did. He recorded two tackles.

As far as Bobby Sheahin, I'm not sure what his status is. He certainly hasn't been used as much as he was last year.

GOLDPRIDE · October 30, 2008, 12:06:48 PM

Tailgating is tough at the Bury. There is always the option to tailgate in the school lot and walk to the field; not sure how the security works now a days but there you will see when the teams are making the way to the field, then you have about 30 minutes to fill up and head out.

I saw McCain and Acker on the sidelines at homecoming. Not sure about the rest. I believe Coach had to take quick action at first and once the facts settled; players were mostly likely dealt with individually. This was done two weeks prior to Wesley; not an exception or anything.

Should be a good one.

see you sat.

GO GULLS

XSUGull:

Thanks for the feedback! I use to make it down to Salisbury for two home games when my daughter was a student. I'll have to settle to listening on wico via the internet. Hopefully the Gulls are able to pull out a win!. As it has been mentioned, the Gulls must keep the ball off the carpet in order to have a chance for a win.

GO GULLS!

goldpride and subacker, thanks for the info. it is nice to see that things got cleared up as soon as possible, the innocent should get to play and the guilty shoud be sent packing. also, thanks for the info on tailgating. will have to see how it goes. look me up guys, i am easy to find, i wear my sons army bucket hat, he is stationed in afghanistam until december. really looking forward to the game.

Wesley/Salisbury is almost here...

Wesley knows what they have to do to stop Salisbury. Stop the run and make the Gulls throw the ball. Wesley once again has one of the top DIII run defenses in the county, Salisbury has the best run offense. Salisbury has had some trouble holding onto the ball as has Wesley.
Salisbury has to decide what they want to stop Wesley from doing on offense, the passing game which found another threat last week in McAndrew to compliment Beavers and Lanouette. The running game has been solid.

If Salisibury has an achillies heal on special teams that could be trouble. I don't think Beavers will get any chance at running back a kick off but if Salisbury tries to kick it away fron him that can lead to out of bound klicks giving Wesleya short field. He has also run back some punts so I am sure the Gulls will be aware of him.

We'll be listening up here in Pa. Should be a good match up

Hey All
I'm new to the D3 Post patterns but have been viewing them for some time. I am a Wesley fan and wish I could be at this game in Salisbury. I think this game is going to be decided on who can hold on to the ball. Both teams have not done this well all year. I know Wesley's loss to Del Val was in part to turnovers and penalty's. Salisbury is also in the negative when its comes to turnover ratio. Who ever gives the ball up on a short field probably wont make the playoffs. That being said if turnovers are not a factor Wesley's Offense is to balanced and Salisbury will have there hands full with the tandem of Pennewell and Jackson.
