Looks like this week is the end of the Huntingdon-Faulkner rivalry for the foreseeable future. Hopefully we can win this last one and keep the trophy on our side of town. It's been a fun series and I hate to see it end. I had already heard a rumor that Maryville wants to stop playing us when the current contract runs out next season so it seems that filling the schedule is about to get even more difficult.

Ahh, yes.  The life of an independent.

find it funny that i lost karma for my post about the wesley game.  some of you are a joke as far as being honest goes.  keep dinging me for karma.  if you dont agree with me have the guts to make your points to prove me wrong.  if not keep hiding in the weeds afraid to make a point.  i am all for a good conversation, tough to do when no one else chimes in.

+K to help Wesleydad.  Not sure what you did to deserve a couple dings, but I always appreciated your zeal for discussion.
Good luck the rest of the way.

[Hampton U SID]

you got another +1 from Va. Wesleydad -- you're straightforward and honest views are always appreciated.

[wesleydad]

thanks for the karma guys.  nnasid, always appreciated your zeal for the game and your team.  also will not forget how you helped us wesley folk out when we traveled to newport news with our tailgating area.  have the utmost respect for the guys that play for your team. +1 back to you.

Great effort by Huntingdon today, 48-41 over Faulkner. By far the best team Faulkner has put together with a very good QB. They were able to hurt our defense with a lot of long passes in the first half and into the third qtr but our defense made some adjustments and stepped up to shut them out the rest of the way. Helped our offense to work through some turnover issues and come back and get the winning score in the final minute. We either were in better shape, had more depth or both as Faulkner was worn down as it got into the fourth qtr and our d-line was able to start handling their big o-line much easier. Neal Posey is growing into a very solid QB. Haven't seen a box score yet but if I remember correctly he ended up with 6 TD passes today. Can't wait to see how many yards he wound up with. Hampden-Sydney coming to town next week. We definitely have to play our best and cutout the turnovers if we are going to have a chance in that one.

Go Hawks!!

Posey 31 of 43, 439 yds, 6 TDs, 0 ints.
Trevor Manuel 22 carries, 106 yds, 1 TD(3rd 100 yd game of season)

HSC is a great game for Huntingdon.  I think that HSC will be regionally ranked, so this game is a critical game for Pool B consideration.

[wesleydad]

3 games in 3 weeks and 6 teams, bridgewater, st. vincent, wesley, kean, del val, and leb val.  what have i seen.  the best team is wesley if they show up and play like they can.  kean and del val will beat most teams they play, evidence kean beats cortland today.  bridgewater has a lot of improving to do to compete with the top teams in d3 and leb val made too many mistakes to win today.  wesley has to win out to get in, beat salisbury who i believe will win the e8, and there is no doubt they should be in, but with only 6 d3 games they will need help.  good thing that pool b is small.  they are surely a top 32 team, but as we have seen in years past, that does not mean they get in.  wondering if anyone else has seen 6 teams in 3 weeks, maybe i am crazy, but after next week it will be 8, plan on heading to rowan for the cortland game.  wesley needs to score plenty next week to erase the taste of the lose to kean.

Wesleydad,

We're both crazy.  I drove 550 miles today to watch Austin College vs SWAG and then most of UMHB vs McMurry.  Already seen TLU vs Austin College first week and UMHB vs La Crosse the second week.  The way I feel right now I am getting too old for this!    By the way Mrs Roocru and my son and his wife are planning to come to the Stagg Bowl again this year.  The grandson will be close to celebrating his first birthday!

[wesleydad]

roocru, good to hear from you.  yea, the driving to catch a good game is fun, but sometimes tiring.  will be nice to see the family and the new addition again at the stagg.  looks like we may be watching the same teams again since it looks like the 2 we thought had the best chance have dropped off a little.  was the struggle with mcmurray a surprise?  28 - 7 to holding on is not good.  sounds like what wesley did with kean, except wesley didnt hold on for the win.

[Hawks88]

DG, good to see you yesterday. You should have rode over to LaGrange for the JV game today. Fun game, had to fight through some nice home cooking in the fourth and hit a hail-mary as time expired to win 33-27. We have some good looking young guys coming up.

Go Hawks!!

[DGPugh]

Hawks

i have to work sat am, but isf i can get all done we might ride down and watch the game

D3football.com QB's of the week square off in Travis Lane (HSC-Week 2) and Neal Posey (HC-Week 3) as the #22 Hampden-Sydney Tigers (3-0) come to Montgomery, AL to face the Hawks of Huntingdon College (2-1).

Prediction:  High scoring shootout between two of the nation's highest passing offenses in Huntingdon and Hampden-Sydney.  Both of these teams are ranked low in passing defense so be ready to see footballs fly.  Team with the fewest turnovers will take it to the house.

Finally, we are so close to game day. Hopefully this Saturday Wesley can figure out who their recievers are and get a nice balanced attack going. That will be crucial going forward, especially with Charleston Southern the week after this one. Obviously its also an opportunity for the defense to tighten some things up. Hopefully the bye week has helped Wesley.
