What is the point of being a DI school if you are not going to give athletic scholarships to the players?

Because their basketball programs are Division I, their football programs have to be I, IAA or IAA non-scholarship.  There are a couple of exceptions (Johns Hopkins lacrosse program is DI for example).

Schools like St. Peter's, LaSalle, etc. are basically Division III football programs despite the D-IAA moniker.

Brockport absolutely laid the wood to wesley today 47-0. Bport frosh qb making his first career start zack luke threw for 263yds and 4 td's. This kid is going to be a great one, he is 6'3" 205lbs and has a cannon of an arm. Props to Bports D wesley had 3 yds rushing and 87 yds passing. That includes the final 12:00 min of the game when wesleys 1st string O was going against bports 3rd string D. This loss for wesley probably puts them in a must win against salisbury to have any chance of making the NCAA's. Bport travels to #4 rowan next week for there 5th game of the year against a nationally ranked team. GOOD WORK EAGLES!!!!

ah...I gotcha. Thanks mandfense

So what happened to Wesley yesterday? I know Brockport is a decent team and all, but there is no way they should have manhandled Wesley to that extent. That had to be a long busride back south again from New York for them. If they play like that against Salisbury, that may end up looking like a basketball score instead of a football score.

My stats were a little off, wesley had -3yds rushing and 87 passing.

   Well that certainly wasn't a good prep game for Salisbury!!
It looks like Wesley looked ahead, got behind, didn't snap out of the slow start and got Bushwacked.
    When you have a team with no superstars that can single handedly turn a game around those things previously stated can happen!
     So now it comes down to one game for Wesley. Rememeber Salisbury still has a Frostburg team to play that is playing well.
      I didn't get to here the game, but I guess Brockport used it's week off to change alot. And I am sure they used this game as their SEASON saver.  Brockport plays a very tough schedule and you have to give them credit to play hard week after week.
Football !!! The ultimate team sport. Anyone who plays DIII football is a winner...

what a wild (cold and wet in NY) day

jaw droping Brockport-Wesley score....had to ask it again when I first heard it.

salisbury scoring machine still rolling

frostburg is playing very well now

buff state kept the Builders in check all day in the 40 degree rain (I finally thawed out)

I was shocked to hear the Brockport score! It sounds like Coach Salomone (sp?) really out-coached Coach Drass on Saturday. There is no way that they are that much better than Wesley. With that being said, it is going to be interesting to see how Wesley rebounds against Salisbury. If Salisbury gets on top early, will Wesley roll over again? Also, it looks like Frostburg is starting to play better. Their next 2 games should be very interesting. They have Westminster and Waynesburg. Frostburg could very easily win both of these games, but Waynesburg has always given Frostburg trouble, no matter how bad they were. One game that I think people are forgetting about for Salisbury is their game against Widener. Widener plays very good football in a tough conference. I am not sure if Salisbury will make the playoffs with 2 losses. It is going to be very interesting on how this season will play out.

Here is an article with video on a pair of Wesely players (Beavers and Harris) from last week I think.

What happened to Wesley's Kevin Nelson, and the vaunted passing game?  The Gulls need to get the B-Port/Wesley film.  I thought the long trip to B-Port would take something out of  Wesley, but not everything!

The Sea Gulls can't afford to get off to a slow start in the game with Wesley.  This seems to be the pattern with Salisbury this season.  I'm sure Wolverines will have a very big chip on their shoulder after the humiliating loss to B-Port.

With the game at Dover, the fans will be an added plus for Wesley.  The Salisbury special teams needs to be sharp all game and match the offence and defense's intensity.

B-Port is a tough place to play.  We were a holding Call away from playoffs in 01.  It's good to see that the ACFC has some quality teams.  It should be nuts down in Dover this week for the game, especially since it's Wesley's Homecoming. Would love to go to the game, but unfortunately I can't get out of work.  I'm looking forward to the Battle of Rte. 13.  Should be a real barn-burner.

I was there. We lead at the half. We should have won, and a holding call away from the playoffs is shoulda woulda coulda. Let's see how Wesley rebounds this weekend.
It ain't over till it's over, and when you get to the fork in the road, take it.
