Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

[PA_wesleyfan]

now we need Wesley to pound Webber next week (NNA at Webber on Halloween) 

Ah Halloween. Strange things can happen on Halloween. There will be some big match-up that day!!!

yeah something about the number 13 comes to my mind

I moved down to Atlanta from NYC over the summer and just realized there's a DIII team in state (LaGrange).  Anyone on here want to share anything about this school and program.  The team will never be my first love, but maybe it can be a distant second and a place I can go from time to time (my father-in-law's a big Ga Tech booster, so generally good seats at those games will get first crack) and follow this school.  Are they heading to another conference after leaving the SLIAC or and they screwed as an independent with a bad travel schedule (ala Wesley). 

[The Forgotten Man]

Pumkinattack: My son is a senior at LaGrange--he's been with them for all four seasons. I am fairly certain they will find another conference, but the sliackers pulled a fast one late in the game and they had to scramble to even put together a full schedule, let alone get into a conference.

Still you can see some good football there--though not of Wesley's caliber, yet. Final home game is this Saturday. It's a nice stadium and plenty of parking with good tailgating.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. By the way, I'm a Tech fan too.

Come and take in the game.

Thanks for the response.  To clarify, I'm a Hobart and William Smith alum (former player) from the Liberty League in the east region, I was just referencing Wesley because LaGrange's travel looks nasty by comparison.  I may not make the game on Sat., but if not, look forward to checking some out in future years. 

It's hard being a Tech fan in Atl with all these heathens from Athens around.  Good to see some other support for the Ramblin Wreck.

Pumkinattack, you also have Huntingdon a couple more hours down I85 past LaGrange in Montgomery. We host LaGrange on the 31st.  LaGrange looks like they are getting some people healthy and getting back to form after a rough patch early in the season. Huntingdon is in the running for a Pool B spot and I'm sure Lagrange would like to put a dent in those chances. Should be a very good game.

Go Hawks!

Thanks for the info.  Haven't been into Alabama yet.  Maybe that'll be a game to go to.

Well halfway through the week, and Wesley takes on Webber Intl. this weekend. Then it starts to get a little more competitive with Salisbury, Lake Erie, and Ohio Dominican.

This week, I think Wesley will let A-Jax get back into a groove and really start playing cleaner football. If they can minimize penalty yardage they have the ability to go places.

Go Wesley!

Well stated.  Should be a good day Saturday, even if there are some rain drops here or there.

Stay dry!

Stay dry!  

I'll try.

I know Wesley isn't taking Webber International lightly.  Even though they are 1-5, they have quite a few skilled players.  You can never tell with an NAIA or Division II team just how well you may match up.....

Not going to make it down this week. But I will next week as long as I have someone close to home to keep an eye on the wife. 

IMHO the team has to start steping it up for a playoff run.. Nothing is guarenteed with the low number of region games and these next few games are not going to be a cake walk.. Weber is hard to read but we know Salisbury is going to be up, Ohio Dominican appears to be a tough team and Lake Erie has been playing well .

Sorry you won't be able to make it.  I know how sensitive you are to rain, hehehehe..  

I completely agree with you.  Both Lake Erie and Ohio Dominican are over .500 which puts them on a different league from what Wesley has faced so far (with the exception of Del Val, of course).  And you know Salisbury is going to turn it up a notch for the Rivalry on the Highway.  Its definately what Wesley needs to keep it's players focused and in the game. Wesley will be earning it's bid this year.

  That's a low blow man!!!!  I actually went out and bought a rain suit last year for the games. Plus I may want to come down for the Ohio Dom.  game and then playoffs and I need a lot of honey-do points for all those trips!!!

Good luck to LaGrange and Huntingdon during the rest of the season.  Would have liked the USA-South to let you join the conference, but it seems like the conference gave you a run-around throughout the summer. 

Good games during the past several years between our teams.  I wonder if the incident with Huntingdon's fans & the MC cannon will jeopardize future games???
