Congratulations to Wesley, Brockport, Newport News, and especially Buffalo State on your wins today. Sorry that the Gulls

couldn't uphold their end today aganist Montclair State, but "that why they play the games."

NNASid

With the way Newport is playing, I wouldnt be surprised if they knock off Salisbury after that lousy performance they had against MSU!

hey PA_Wesleyfan

I was wondering if you went to the wesley vs Kean game? What do you think the wolverines will be like without Lanouette? What do you think about Beavers, Lee and Gore?

PA_wesleyfan · September 25, 2005, 08:47:31 PM

I did go to the game.
I have never seen referees pick up so many flags. The umpire injured his wrist: I think it happened when he tried to reach his mouth with his whistle!!!
Lee had a nice game. He ran away from coverage a few times and went across the middle a few times too. He has more speed than Lanouette and with Beavers' and Gore's speed that will make it tough on defences. He caught the ball nice too. Lanouette has great hands so I think we have to give it another game or two to see if Lee keeps it up. Gore is steady and fast and gets open underneath and out side well. And he runs hard after the catch.
Beavers can fly! He ran by people all day. It was very windy in Dover and a couple of balls got knocked down or he would have had a few TDs. The team speed caused Kean to leave the back up full back open for two big plays in the second half.
The O. also picked up any blocking slack that was lost with Lanouette. The line moved some of Kean's bigger players around and frustrated them into a few penalties.
I think that Wesley will throw to their big tight end more too. So overal I think the O will be okl

i definity agree with your assessment of the wolverine offense. I have been saying for a long time that Gore was an underated reciever. He may no be as fast as Beavers and Lee, but he is still fast. H e is also very scrappy. I was VERY impressed with him blocking 200+ LB'S even though he only weighs about 165lbs. He has great hands and best of all, a big heart. I think the Wolverine WR CORP is very underated and they will continue to cause problems for teams the rest of the year. Lee is very impressive and very physical. Beavers has another gear that I have never seen b4. I am really like this years wolverine team.

I am not one to complain about polls, but after reviewing the latest D3football top 25 poll, I had to ask the following. How can a team like UW-Eau Claire be ranked # 19 last week, lose to unranked St. Francis this week, and remain with the exact same ranking at #19 with a 1 win 2 loss record while Salisbury drops many spots to # 20? Am I reading this one wrong or teams that lose just sometimes not drop in the polls after losing to unranked teams? $:-\$

Ron Boerger · September 25, 2005, 11:02:12 PM

Read your front page. St. Francis is the #2 NAIA (e.g. partial scholarship) team.

That said, WIAC teams get a lot of love. Some (like me) contend it is too much, but plenty of others don't.

hey wesleyfan...

Do you think this year's wesley team can go undefeated? People aren't giving them the respect they deserve.

luvapontiac · September 26, 2005, 09:55:23 AM

That's nice... but does losing to them because of the team that lost not drop ANY places I would hardly think so.

Pat Coleman · September 26, 2005, 12:18:26 PM

luvapontiac, this isn't Division I-A, where there is no higher level of football and every loss must drop a team. This is a non-scholarship team going up against a team with 24 scholarships, and one ranked #2 among those teams. You can't expect UW-Eau Claire to beat that team and neither did our voters.

luvapontiac · September 26, 2005, 12:31:41 PM

Then what is the benefit of playing them? If you win, you are glorified, if you lose, it does not matter. Why doesn't every team schedule schools like that, so when they lose, it doesn't hurt them? Just not quite following your logic there. $:-\$

Pat Coleman · September 26, 2005, 03:55:47 PM

Luvapontiac, I suppose that is the case, but that's the way it is. I wouldn't punish someone for losing to someone better, whether it's UW-EC losing to St. Francis or St. John Fisher losing at Ithaca. In those instances, the poll was ALREADY correct. Why would we fix something that isn't broken?

luvapontiac · September 26, 2005, 05:28:18 PM

Pat,

Good answer. But you see my point right? I was just curious as to the reasoning behind it all, don't wanna to make it a big issue 8)

What happened to Johnnyreb's posts?

Pat Coleman · September 26, 2005, 05:49:08 PM

I have read your point and I certainly agree with your right to make it. However, I disagree quite strongly.

Johnny Reb was warned within the past week that his posts were not needed and since he continued to be a troll, he was removed from the premises.

PA_wesleyfan · September 26, 2005, 06:03:53 PM

Pat
A troll ? I had a different word for him!!!

Luv
I agree with you in some aspects with the polls.
But the 1AA teams and some DII scholarship programs are just Big for the DIII schools. And I see Pats point there!! But if a DIII teams gets awin moving up I say Great!!

One
I don't know if Wesley will go uindefeated. I.E. Look what happened to Salisbury. Just glad it didn't happen the week before Wesley plays them!! From what the coaches tell me
Seton Hill has some athletes. And the trip to Brockport will be a tough one. Frostburg St. is always tough. NN is playing well. And then that Homecoming game with Salisbury. So if they do go undefeated it will be a challange.
