Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

Bigtoe:

The weather is suppose to be excellent this weekend.  That should be excellent news for the running game.  The Gulls has Methodist second leading rusher from last year on the team. 

From what I remember from last year, the offense needs to cut down on the turnovers (primarily fumbles).

Big, do you think the opener will be a sellout?

Dr. Seagull:

Are congratulations in order for you, or do you have another semester in West Virginia?

[Knightstalker]

I hope his proctology rotation didn't stink too much.

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

Ha, not as much parking as you would think...In comparison to other D3 places I have been in though, it's pretty OK.  I am not sure how Salisbury's Facilities are to compare it to.

Just be lucky the game is early in the season before the Nippy wind tunnel that is Brockport starts becoming a factor! 

Good Luck this weekend

As For the best games in the ACFC this season, I think any of the games involving Wesley, Salisbury, and Brockport are the main ones.

However, I am looking forward to Brockport/Salisbury after the gulls demolished us last year, to see if a measure of revenge can be inflicted.

I'm glad the Salibury game is played early.  I have been to Syracuse and Rochester in November and it has been cold there.

Sea Gull stadium only seats 2500.  Hopefully with the recent success of the football team, the admin will look to add to increase the seating.  The Lacrosse and Field hockey teams have experienced success as in 5 NCAA championships in the last three years so they are getting all the attention.  A new scoreboard was added last year.

Are you out there?  Has Coach Woods got the guys ready for Saturday?  What is the health prognosis?  Hopefully no one is on IR.

[Dr. Seagull]

I have started my rotations...technically I am not a doctor and won't graduate til May of 2007...but it is much better being in the hospital than in the classroom...BTW...I haven't made it to Proctology yet...and don't plan on it...I start ER on 9/12/05 and have been on vacation for a couple of weeks not.

I have been in contact with some of the coaches and there are very few if any injuries...knock on wood...the word out of camp is the maturity of Dustin Johnson...He is a good friend of mine but like everyone else...lets see it happen...if it is truely the case...this offense could be next to unstoppable...they return 4 of 5 olineman...some guys that have been starting there since I played...they could top last year by a lot...I think there best game will be against CNU but there next toughest comp. will be Brockport.  There definately is the revenge factor and the home field advantage...the way I see it the game hasn't even started and the score is already Brockport 10 Salisbury 0...so Salisbury will have to overcome that advantage and play physical football...as far as Wesley goes...there running back is good but I think overrated...you look at him and then look at Satchell...two diff. types of runners but Nelson is going to have trouble with the physical nature of Brockport and Salisbury's defenses.

Me and Dehaven are thinking about making the trip to Brockport since I live right outside Pittsburgh...it shouldn't take that long...some of those Brockport posters have a couple cold ones waiting??...anyways it should be a great game...of course I always give the edge to the gulls...in the two years I have been away from Salisbury I have predicted them to go 20-0... 17-3 isn't bad though...therefore...I am predicting week 2...both teams sitting at 1-0 with convincing wins each...Salisbury 31 Brockport 30....being the game of the year in the ACFC.

Dr. Seagull:

Thanks for the overview, unfortunately it looks like the only game I will see in person is the Homecoming/Parents Day game aganist Apprentice  .  I'll catch the gull via the internet like I didi last year.

Go Gulls !!!

Dr. Seagull:

It's good that you've stayed incontact with Brad.  What is he doing these days?

[acfcposter]

Is it just me, or is ther only Salisbury, Wesley and Brockport posters on this board? Where are all of the Frostburg and Buff St people? I would really like to hear what they have to say!

[PA_wesleyfan]

WOW!!!  The D3 gods have smiled on me. I had major puter problems but I AM BACK.

  I think the season will be very interesting this year. There are a few quality teams and that could make for a 1 or 2 loss season for the conference winner. Wesley will be well tesgted before the league schedule starts with back to back road trips to Indiana (Depauw) and So.Va.(Averett). Good thing they are flying to Depauw. If Warrick adds the ability to run to his game he may get close to doing what Visconti did for Wesley a few years back. Wesley is also still miffed about last years snub by the ecac. I know Pat, But if the motivation works !!! Well people I am glad to be back and it is great to see the board  humming 

[PA_wesleyfan]

  Enough of the academic bashing of Wesley!!!! Maybe some of you should check out there standing now. !!!

[Pat Coleman]

Wesley is also still miffed about last years snub by the ecac. I know Pat, But if the motivation works !!!

Actually, I thought that was a pretty valid gripe. Wesley should have been in over McDaniel, esp. considering McDaniel's players ending up walking out and leaving basically a shell of a team to get shellacked by Albright.

Is it just me, or is ther only Salisbury, Wesley and Brockport posters on this board? Where are all of the Frostburg and Buff St people? I would really like to hear what they have to say!

I thought that there was a buffalo state poster around here, though I can't remember any Frostburg ones...
