Week 1 ACFC Predictions:

NC Wesleyan over APPRENTICE
BROCKPORT over Cortland State
SALISBURY over Methodist
DEPAUW over Wesley

[theone]

why depauw over wesley?

[Pat Coleman]

Probably because DePauw's at home and is no pushover.

[Dr. Seagull]

Depauw takes Wesley in a shootout 44-37
NC Wesleyan over Apprentice 21-7
Brockport over Cortland 34-17
Salisbury over Methodist 35-14

How bout them gulls this year...they are pretty good...lots of potential to be great or just another good team...we will see...I love this time of year...Good to see everyone in here

1 UP AND 1 DOWN GULLS...METHODIST...BRING YOUR DOG IF YOUR SCURRED

I pretty much agree with the picks for this weekend. I believe that Salisbury will take Methodist by at least 3 TD's. Methodist is traditionally undisciplined and if you get up on them they will roll over. I can not see Methodist being able to stop the Salisbury running game. I also believe that Brockport will win a fairly tough one against Cortland. I can't wait until next week when everyone is playing!

Theone:

Pat hit it on the head, DePauw is not a pushover, and given that the Wolverines have to make a long, trip, Season opener at home, gives the edge to the home team.

I wouldn't be    if Wesley won.

Dr. Seagull:

Welcome back!  although under a different handle  .  I remember during your senior year homecoming/parents day that someone with the #56 painted on their body with a "beak" going to the visitor's side to heckle the Wolverine fans.

Fear the Bird !

[Dr. Seagull]

Yeah...I remember that day vividly...those were my two younger brothers...they are crazy...I couldn't sign on with my old name...I think Pat got sick of me...anyways...it is going to be a great season....can't wait...for all you Wesley fans...you remember that day don't you ....hahaha...fear the bird

Dr. Seagull:

Good to have you back  .  I'm surprised that Narch and some of the USAC guys haven't visited our site to discuss the season opener aganist Methodist.  I posted one comment and received a reply, but that was it.  I haven't heard from luvapontiac in a while.

The Gulls need to make it to the playoff and get that first win to maintain the momentum started a few years ago.

Fear the Bird !!!  Go Gulls !!!

[Knightstalker]

I haven't figured it out yet, but there is something bizarrely funny about the statement "Fear the Bird".   

[njlincolnlion]

Knightstalker:

Funny post  .  There are some birds to fear (i.e Eagles, Falcons, and other Birds of prey), and there are some birds to avoid such as the Seagull, since there are so many of them and they may do considerable damage to cars, homes, and even humans if you're "splatterd upon"  .

The term is also close to "flipping the bird" which many do and/or receive when driving (especially in New Jersey).
Believe it or not Maryland - College Park, has the term Fear the Turtle which may sound even more bizarre.

Any thoughts on which will be the best games of the year in the ACFC and why? Which games will be blow outs and why? Also, does anyone think that this year's Regent's Cup game between Frostburg and Salisbury will be worth going to?

[Bigtoe75]

The Methodist fans are quiet because they know the gulls are gonna kick them around pretty good on Saturday.  Last year Dustin got hurt and the weather was terrible (mud pit), causing the game to be a close one.  The Gulls roll at home.
You have to go to the Regents Cup game, just to see the Gulls beat up on those Bobcats.  They had our number for awhile and now it is our turn.  A rivalry game is always a good one no matter what the records are for each team.

[njlincolnlion]

I think Salisbury Wesley and Salisbury Brockport are the games to see in the ACFC this year.

What is the tailgating atmosphere like at Special Olympic Stadium?  With a 10,000 seat stadium, there must be plenty of parking for tailgating.
