been a pretty good discussion going on in the pool b thread. looks like there is a better than good chance that salisbury may get the last pool b bid. 2 losses is usually a death nell to getting into the playoffs, but with only 2 teams undefeated and no others with one loss the gulls have a shot. would be good way for the acfc to go out, 2 teams in the playoffs. if they get in and shipped east, they have a real good shot at winning a game as the east is not very strong. the gulls wont be an 8 seed and have to play mount who is almost certainly getting shipped to the east also.

Wesley has a game this week that i was looking forward to seeing until kean got shut out last week. i still want to see if the offense can get it going and kean should be a good test the week before the playoffs. no turnovers and this will be a win, dont let a team stay in the game by giving them the ball. then wait for sunday and the brackets. now it starts to get fun, a chance for a good game every week, if not in dover then somewhere else within driving distance. see you on saturday.

Yeah, I'm getting pumped up! The weather is going to be a perfect, sunny 62 degrees. I know the players are just jumpin' to go. They are going to be perfectly rested after this week. Booyeah!

Another perfect season. Now we will see tomorrow where exactly Wesley stands.

if ever you could call something a sloppy route, this was it. Wesley's offense needs to tighten things up if they want to win the stagg bowl. the int was woefully underthrown and the fumbles could have hurt. good thing kean has no offense, or wesley has a very good defense. take you pick. the south bracket could get a little easier with the lose by hardin simmons leaving only one texas team left. in the past, if i recall, umhb has been shipped west when that has happened. if so then wesley should be a strong favorite to win the south region. looking forward to how the brackets shake out tomorrow.

Well, it was a slow start but Wesley laid out over 500 yards of offense including over 200 on the ground. I think they did pretty good coming off of a bye week. Yea, they had some turnovers but they had only 4 penalties! I think Wesley will be doing just fine once they get a string of games going. Sottilaire and Wright did really well today and the defense....well, they did what they do best!

Since the first team O had only played about 8 quarters in the last 5 week before today and after the come down off the Salisbury game I think the boys looked real good after the first two series. Also thought that the coaches kept the players under control today only one bad penalty and that was the spike after the TD

wesleydad · November 14, 2010, 08:50:22 AM

teamski and pawesley, all points are true and i am glad to see the penalties were only 4 and i am not sure if the spike penalty should have even been called. i guess we are looking at things differently. the mistakes made early in a game against a team that could win the stagg bowl would likely have put wesley in a 10 - 0 or 14 -0 nothing whole which would be hard to climb out of. starting next week they dont have the luxury of playing a string of games, they get one at a time, i would agree that they are likely to be tougher to beat should they keep winning since the 2 bye weeks hurt at the end of the season. this is a very good team that has a chance to go far, at least the semis, and the mistakes will be the downfall if they occur, just want to see the o play a cleaner, crisper game. see you next saturday for the likely rematch with cnu.

Well lets see if the boys can make the run at home!!!!! First up the Mules... Should be a huge crowd !!!

Congrats Wesley and Salisbury for making the big dance

Wesley - wow get to dance in Dover all the way ....

what a surprise. the #1 overall seed is fantastic, way to go coach drass for scheduling a tough enough schedule. one game at a time is how it has to be. having seen muhlenberg, they are not as good as the teams wesley beat in the playoffs 2 and 3 years ago. offensively, they have a gutsy qb and a small, gutsy running back. i believe they will have trouble scoring on wesley unless wesley gives them a short field. if they win that, the winner of the montclaire st/ hampden sydney game will be a contrast - montclaire has a strong d, suspect o; hampden who i did see play has potential on o, but a suspect d. both teams will have trouble scoring more than 14. if umhb wins their side, that will make for a nice quarterfinal game. no worry of a trip to freezing whitewater this year, that region comes to dover if the wolverines keep winning. if you are a wolverine fan and not excited at how things turned out then you dont have a pulse or are not really a fan. this could be a great year for the team to take the next step to the stagg. knocking on the door is not good enough anymore. one game at a time, get it done.

WoW........WesleyDad.......I love you man...but Wesley the #1 overall seed......ummm.....no way.

wesleydad · November 14, 2010, 05:02:13 PM

skunks, you will not a get an argument from me about that statement. i figured the 3 was going to be right and another possible trip to alliance. not sure why it turned out that way, but they have to take advantage of it. nothing will be easy.

skunks_sidekick · November 14, 2010, 05:11:58 PM

Hey I am with you.......this is set up as good as possible for Wesley. If they are going to make it to Salem, this is the year.

The issue is going to be a UWW team that has just a tiny bit more motivation than they would normally have (like they need anything else), and their their outright lack of respect towards Wesley due to previous meetings.

wesleydad · November 14, 2010, 05:17:46 PM

skunks, so true. almost looks like the commitee said, ok lets see if someone/s else can change the stagg bowl from being another uwww/mount game. many teams have been given a chance to do it with this bracket, now lets see if someone steps up and gets it done.

I think wesley earned some respect from the mount faithful with the effort the gave last year, but until you get on the field with uwww and give them a game, they will always have a lack of respect. defensively this team will give anyone trouble, as you have read my concern is with the offense.
