I hope that the Great BBQ Tour of the South will feature the great BBQ that we serve in Texas.

We're at ETBU this weekend.  There will be slight modifications to allow for the "Great Gumbo Tour of the South" when in Louisiana and the "Great Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl Tour of the West" when in California.

There is plenty of great BBQ in east Texas.

Bodacious BBQ, in several locations.

Porky's, for those of you who have not discovered Barbecue Beef.

The Brown Pig ... more southern style pork

The Salt Lick in Round Rock and Schoepf's in Belton were awesome last year.

No Texas BBQ for me this weekend, but I will be headed to PA for annual family pig roast in Quiggleville. Now, I just need to take some good sauce with me.

I couldn't talk my wife into letting me check out Misericordia's first game as a program, but I may be able to catch Lycoming vs. Brockport.

Sean,

I am really looking forward to another great season of listening to our Wesley eyes and ears, WDEL!  Many thanks for your awesome insight and play calling! I know you will be working overtime in keeping up with all of the traveling, that is for sure.  It will be strange listening to you on the radio rather than standing behind you at halftime!  Keep up the awesome work.  We will be listening attentively!!   

-Ski

p.s.  I can assuredly say we would be absolutely lost without you and WDEL!!

[wesleydad]

good luck to the wolverines this weekend against ETBU.  I expect them to win the game and they should as long as the protect the ball and avoid the personal foul penalties.  Hopefully the rain will have moved out of the area by game time and the game will be a good one.  I will be beginning my Wesleydad travels by heading to Rowan for the Del Val/ Rowan game.  Be interested in seeing the 9th ranked team in the country.  Next week it will be off to Salisbury to see the 7th ranked team and then the following week in Dover to see the 4th ranked team.  Have not finalized the rest of the travels, but a trip to Bridgewater is a certainty.

Right now its 60% today and 30% tomorrow as far as rain goes.  If the sun is out then I do not envy the football players Saturday.  Rain in Texas means one thing...HUMIDITY!  You walk outside for 10 seconds and you'll be drenched in sweat.

[wesleydad]

TxFight, enjoy the game.  I will be looking forward to your thoughts on it afterwards.  Humidity is no fun, certainly not playing a football game.

[PA_wesleyfan]

Go Wesley!!

[DE Wesley Fan]

Can't wait to hear the opinions of anyone who actually saw the game.  Sounded like it was much as expected - slow start, a little sloppy, but getting it together when it mattered - typical early season Wesley football....  Was Morris the receiver they moved to defense this year?  If so he obviously caught on fast with his multiple interceptions.  Looking forward to seeing them with my own eyes in Salisbury.

Wesleydad - Did you enjoy the upset at Rowan?  Hopefully that will be the last one you see for several weeks

[wesleydad]

DE wesley, did not expect that result at all.  figured Del Val would win easily, but the were totally outplayed.  Rowan's d front 7 dominated the game, kept Del Val's offense bottled up for most of the game.  If Rowan was not in the NJAC title discussion before they certainly are now.  I was disappointed in what Del Val was doing on offense,seemed to be forcing things that did not play to the QB's strenths, keeping him in he pocket instead of roll outs and sprint plays.  I will be in Salisbury next week and I agree, hope not to see another upset for a couple of weeks.

[Teamski]

Yeah, that was about as sloppy as you can get!  Wesley was true to form for its first game.  Sottilaire was really cold, overthrowing the ball to just about everybody.  Add a couple dropped passes and quite a few silly turnovers and you have what I dread on a bad Wesley day.  I am sure the heat had some impact, and the number of cramping players made that obvious.

A win is a win and as mentioned, Morris' 4 interceptions could be a Wesley record, so cudos to him!  It was strange to hear Cumming's name as the halfback, but he is a real brute, so that change was obvious, hehehe.

Well, it will be another Wesley season of brilliance marred by mistakes.  Drass' boys make it work, though.  Somehow.  Now it is onto Salisbury which will be one tough game.  I will be there, of course.

I know that Wesley has the ability to work out the cobwebs and they will do so.  Sottilaire did have 5 TD passes.....

Special Teams and Turnovers absolutely killed ETBU.  Wesley's first TD came on third and goal from the 10 after they returned the kickoff to the 9.  The TD that put Wesley up 21-14 came after a 50 yard punt return to the ETBU 19.  The last touchdown came after an interception at midfield.  Add in that ETBU fumbled on the 9 going in after a 10 play 70 yard drive to get it down there with the score 14-12 midway through the 2nd quarter.  That absolutely took the wind out of ETBU's sails.   It was an interesting play call to begin with because ETBU went to the wildcat (which had not been successful on the 2 or 3 times they had ran it to that point.)

ETBU came out swinging and looked mighty good.  Passing game was rolling and the defense was playing well.  If ETBU gets their special teams kinks worked out they are going to be very salty.  Also have to get better with 2nd half adjustments offensively.  Wesley made some defensive adjustments at halftime and ETBU looked like they kept trying to throw the same 3-4 pass plays. 

Good luck to the Wolverines the rest of the way!!

Wesleydad,

Look at usasouth board. CNU was thrashed in the last 19 minutes of game. Score was 20-16 with 4 min left in third qt. then SU ran CNU into the ground!!!! A good team. Score early and get them out of that triple option.
