bucksweep:

According to Wesley's website, Wolverine Stadium has "New Style Turf".  I also believe "revamped their stadium this past year which includes lights.  Pictures on the Wesley website show that the field looks nice.  Very Little seating on the visitors side.

Salisbury/Wesley NCAA stats and ranking comparison:

Team Rankings

Total Offense          9.  Salisbury       502.0 ypg
Rushing Off.            1.  Salisbury       396.4 ypg
Rushing Def.           22. Wesley           89.1 ypg
Total Def.               32. Wesley         274.3 ypg
Passing Off.           27. Wesley          272.0 ypg
Scoring Off.             2. Salisbury          48.3 ppg
                             19. Wesley             37.8 ppg
Kickoff Ret.            23. Salisbury         22.63 avg.

Based on the above stats, it should be one hell of a game.  Here's to hoping Salisbury's special teams plays up to par with the Offense and Defense, with a turn over free performance.

You bring up a good point in your responst to theone regarding the SOS for Salisbury and Wesley.

Salisbury beat Methodist, Brockport (at B-Port), CNU (at CNU), D1aa St. Peters College, and lost to Montclair St. (Lost DJ in the game) who is doing well in the NJAC.  I would say Salisbury has the edge in terms of being "battle tested".

Of course this is just MHO.

  Just read some interesting quotes from Del Val's Coach Mangus.  He says that going to eight teams frees his school and the rest of the M.A.C. schools to play more non- conference opponents.  Makes sense to a point so maybe the M.A.C. won't be looking to add football only schools. Still would be a nice fit for Wesley and Salisbury travel wise. But I am not so sure Wesley would drop the P.A.C. in other sports!!!

I will be at the Salisbury/Wesley game on Saturday, yes.

Pat:

Glad to know you'll be at "The Battle for Route 13".  I hope the Sea Gulls will provide some highlights for d3 football and hand the Wolverines their second consectutive defeat during their Homecoming festivities.

Pat, I hope your presence brings Salisbury luck  .

Saturday's Weather for Dover, DE

Mostly Sunny with a high of 54 degrees.  Perfect Football weather, so there shouldn't be any excuses about playing conditions.

Good article on Gallaudet's football program.  How long has the Bisons had a club football team, and are they planning on taking the next step?

[njlincolnlion]

Looks like a lot of posters are picking Salisbury to win in the South's GOTW.  Let's hope they are all right !!!!!!!

Gallaudet dropped from varsity to club in 1995. It returned to varsity in 2000, dropped out again after the 2002 season. They plan to return in 2007.

[bisonpride]

Yeah, you are right Pat. Hope the move back up to DIII and will last it there for long time after fall of 2007.

Pat:

Thanks for your response to the Gallaudet question.  What conference was Gallaudet affilliated with when the played DIII Football?

[Pat Coleman]

They were independent.
