Congratulations! Great game. McSweeny made the plays in the 4th quarter that were necessary to keep UMHB at bay.

Holy crap! Should never have been that close. 3rd qtr play calling was terrible. Hope to see you all in Ohio.

Not YOU guys again?

I was hoping for a chance to get a little payback from 2004, but way to go down and take care of business Wesley.

Ski....Wesleydad......see you next week.

Well, Wesley broke a small duck today by advancing into the Semi's with a single season loss. Previous teams weren't able to do that.

Not a pretty second half, but Wesley showed some poise out there. The defense got beat up but held UMHB admirably at the end. Ask Coach Drass and he will be happy with the effort Wesley put into the game. Now to deal with that Purple duck.

It appears Piloto has a hip injury, but I thinking he might be able to go. I think our freshman QB is pretty decent, and he will get more reps this week to get ready. LK took it out of his hands, and just let the defense do their thing. And PHHHEWWW...did they. They were so dominant it was scary.

I think it's going to be a barn-burner.

Gotta win on the road.
Good job.

Going to be an interesting Semi-Final. Wesley on a roll and Mount down to their freshman, 3rd string QB that has attempted a whopping 11 passes in his career. Starter has been out for a month, comes back today and is lost again. Back-up, who has started the last 4 is hurt and very questionable for next week. Hmmm, going to be interesting indeed.

This is perhaps Wesley's best shot at getting to the finals. They MUST put together two halves to win against MU. Remember in the 2009 Semi's, Wesley was trailing the Raiders 10-7 in the 4th quarter and just didn't have the juice to finish the game off (plus the option offense with Shorts at the reigns). I think the team is going to go to Ohio with a different attitude now that they have been there already facing most likely a better team with Cecil Shorts. McSweeny quarterbacked the last semi against MU and I know he is hungry to win one against the Raiders. It will be a good game for sure!

Just got home after the game. Will post more thoughts later but just wanted to say congratulations and good luck against Mount Union. Hope I get to root for you guys in person at the Stagg Bowl!

Good to see an old friend from Wesley and to meet a couple of new ones. Hope you enjoyed the post game meal at Schoepf's!

roo, you know i am also hoping that we get to cheer for someone that we actually care about whether they win.

mount guys, if it comes down to the freshman QB, then Wesley has a great chance. Their weak point is the secondary, if the D line is healthy and they can stop the run, then it is a game. 2 years ago the difference in the game was a guy named Shorts, he is not there, so Wesley has a chance.

A secondary that has the habit of picking off the ball as of late. Three picks today.

ski, that is true but they did not look good in the second half when UMHB got back into the game. The D line will have to be at their best if Mount has to go to the freshman QB. Stop the run and make them do something they wont want to do, throw the ball and Wesley has a chance.

Great game Wesley. Way to get us down. I knew that if we came out and made errors, as we did in our other 3 losses, we would have a tough time winning this one, and we did. Lidarral had a tough stretch but came back to make some great plays for us. I guess we'll see you in the regular season next year. Good luck vs Mount Union. Bring it home.
