As you may remember from your last trip to A-town, I don't drink.  Haven't touched the stuff in 20 years.  You need to try again.  

Wow, HSCoach and I actually do have something in common besides Purple Raiders. Between us there is 40 years without a drink. No wonder we get so crabby.

Not sure anybody in his right mind thought anything besides Mount got almost a free ride to this point.

Truer words have never been spoken.

No hippie lettuce either??  Yawn..

SF......70's was actually one of those hippies back in the day.  Of course he was then "doing this thing" over in "Nam while I was still riding my Schwinn with high handlebars.   

Thanks, SS... this is GREAT info to store away for a rainy day..

rscl, i am ok with the beer conversation as i am always looking to try new brew.  the spotted cow stuff sounds good so i will see if my local beer garden has it.  no, we dont grow beer but that would be great.  lucky enough to have a place within a mile that has over 700 beers that you can make your own 6 pack with.  get to try some real good ones.

Another vote from me for Spotted Cow.

Mt probably hasn't seen this year.  

Bing, Bing, Bing we have a winner in the annual "Mount Union has never seen" contest.

They practice against a better offense than most teams see in three or four years, but I digress.......

Takes balls for a Mount Union fan to call out a UWW fan on that. I think the past five years have shown UWW has the ability to back that up.

congrats to all the wesley players and coach drass for being recognized in the all region selections for the south.  looking at both teams, seems like the big collision will be the wesley d against the uww o.  uww has 3 all-region lineman and 1 running back and receiver.  wesley's d is also well represented.  makes it easy to figure out which area will tell the difference in the game.  can wesley shut down the run and get pressure on the qb against what seems to be an excellent line?  I think so, glad it is only 2 days away.

What's all this congratulations Wesley stuff, I thought we were on the OAC board

 All this chatter about a rematch in two weeks and everyone seems to be forgetting that UWW has a game this weekend in Dover, I hope the UWW players are taking Wesley so lightly~!!!! ;DI am sure the WW fans will get to know the name Mays by Saturday night. He is number 90 but you can't see his number because it has been torn off by every other lineman Wesley has played trying to stop him..Not forgetting the rest of the Top rated Wesley D

There is absolutely no chance UWW is taking the Wolverines lightly.  Since getting a second seed in the north region, the team has had a completely focused approach and frankly a slight bit of a chip on their collective shoulders.   Our players and coaches take each day, each practice, each challenge one at a time.  They intensely prepare for each new team and each aspect of that team.  Again, having talked to several players on Tuesday evening, they are obviously totally concentrating on Wesley.  They embrace the challenge of facing the number 1 seed in the country, knowing that they have to defeat Wesley to continue the tradition of Warhawk Football.

Last time I looked Mount Union is still ahead in the series  

So maybe WW has never seen anything like this Wesley team. I think this will be at least an equal to the WW-NCC game last week.

[emma17]

PA- Don't confuse our funnin' around with the Mt. people to mean we don't take Wesley seriously, nothing further from the truth.  This is friendly banter between the two teams as to who has the better chance of reaching the ultimate goal for the sixth straight time.
   
I know UWW people are very aware of the challenge that lies ahead for this Saturday.
 
Seventies- your comment about "maybe UWW hasn't seen anything like Wesley" is to the point I've been trying to make all along.  I believe this is the advantage UWW has because UWW has played against the most diverse offenses and collection of skilled players in these playoffs.  From a pure passing team like Franklin, an even better offense in Trine and then the power in NCC.  It may be true that UWW hasn't seen all of these components together on one team, and IF Wesley is that team, well I don't think anyone will beat them. 


   

[seventiesraider]

Except I won't let you claim Franklin as a quality opponent unless we get to call Del Val and Alfred quality opponents. I think DV for sure and Alfred on most days would whip Franklin.

Wesley DID hold one of the best offenses in DIII to a surprisingly low score, so..........

[PA_wesleyfan]

I will bet that UWW has never had 6 story crypt behind it's bench before!!

PA - who was that DE from the '05 and maybe the '06 Wesley teams that you had the hype machine working full-time building up back then? I, for one, thought a young Deacon Jones was coming to Whitewater!!    I forgive you if you can't remember his name either since in those games, he basically was rendered a non-factor. Do you know who I'm talking about? The Warhawks o-line really neutralized him to the point that he basically gave up from what I remember.   

[wesleydad]

going on the record early.  based on last weeks games with umhb and ncc, i am going with 24 - 14 wesley.  wesley has a better offense and at least as good of a defense as ncc.  the defense shut down a pretty potent run offense in umhb, albeit a different type of rushing game and uww has a better passing game, but wesley has not had trouble covering passes all year.  ncc led 10 - 7 in the 4th quarter before turnovers did them in, wesley had 3 last week, which was sloppy for them the second half of the year.  i think they will be able to score in the 20's as both franklin and trine did, can uww?  i dont think so.  play a clean game and i believe the wolverines win this one.  this will be a good game, time for the wolverines to step up and move into the next level of d3 teams.  4 semis in 6 years is good, but only if you can win one do you take the next step.  i know some will disagree, but that is fine with me.  bring it on.

Last name Robinson, I think but can't recall his first name.  I remember only because of the, "hype machine."  But to be fair, it might have been more the snow and ice that nuetralized him.
