I wish all players good luck Sat.  But I must warn you, If Wesley haven't  been in the weight room, their in for a long day.

I have tried to pay attention but can't remember the last ruling, can schools from Delaware host playoff games?

As of now yes, the Circuit Court shot down single game betting on NCAA games and others. Delaware is working on some sort of sports lottery, that would involve parlay betting on multiple NFL games.

Hmmmm no new Wesley posters this year!!!!! We'll have to spread the word!!!

Looking forward to a good game today at Wesley.   The D should get a good early test with Ogun. I look for Wesley to show some big play capability. They will miss Pennewells big body in the backfield but McSweeny may get some yards with his legs. Wesley has only lost 2 home games since the new turf was installed.

pawesley and ski, look me up in the lot.  hope to see you all at the game.  should be a good one.  pawesley, be interesting to see where the big plays come from if they get them.  many questions to be answered today by the new players stepping in.  i think there may be some points scored today, i am not sure how good cnu's defense is.  getting ready to head out shortly.

I'll be there Wesleydad........gotta drink a cold one with ya! I'm not sure when I'll get there...game is at 1pm, so maybe around 11 I'll find a parking spot.....I'll look for the #13 jersey. I'll have on a CNU Football hat and polo shirt.

cnu85, conrad, and pawesley, good to see you guys again.  teamski, where were you?  I was suprised by several things.  Wesley is very fast on defense, probably the fastest i have seen them in the 6 years that i have watched them.  The d line looks better and the linebackers are quick.  a. benson is a beast, was all over the field today.  i know they got away with having him in the box most of the game because cnu had littel threat of a passing game.  which brings me to my second surpirse, if tunde ogun is an all american back then he better step up his game.  he was either hurt or scared because he ran so tentative that there was no chance he was going to gain yards.  looks like wesley has been able to reload on defense which will make for a good season, but there are still too many drops on offense by the receivers.  you get away with it against teams that you are better than, but they come back to haunt you against the top teams.  they will win most of their games, i will be interested in seeing how the delval game turns out.

if the gap between 9 and 20 is that large than very few teams have a shot at winning into the second round of the playoffs.

Wesleydad, I was at the game, so sorry I missed you.  I did have to pleasure to meet PA_Wesleyfan, though.  

What an exclamation mark Wesley put on the game today!  Consistency on both sides of the ball.  The big thing was NO TURNOVERS!!  A lot of work was done in training camp to keep the ball off the ground, and it really showed.  I was really impressed.  The Defense did a great job keeping the Captains out of the endzone.  

You also have to be awefully impressed with Ellis Krout.  The guy had 3 receptions for 86 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns.  He will definately be a force to be reconed with this year.  Sure, there were some cobwebs on the offense, but as it is with the beginning of the season, you can see that the Wolverines offense is like a powder keg.  Once the cobwebs are cleared, I really think it is going to light off.  My sleeper is TB Freshman Brandon Wright.  I think he could be another Pennywell......

The Captains really had a quick no-huddle offense, and Wesley's defense did a good job adjusting, for the most part.  Their interception return for the touchdown in the 4th quarter really put the cap on the bottle!  

This is going to be a great year!

   Well, it's official.  Larry Beavers was cut today.....  I'm sure he will find a team somewhere where his speed will be of use.  Good luck Larry!

Well todays game was very satisfying. I was impressed by the defense and how they completely shut down Tunde Ogun and the Captains. Wesley did a good job of hanging on to the football and not committing stupid penalties.

McSweeny was good today. Should have had a higher completion percentage with all the dropped passes. But it was still a pretty good day. Ellis Krout looked alright, but those drops were all a fluke. Krout will be a very good component to this offense.

Jackson also surprised me a bit. He held on to the football and had some very nice plays.

As for Beavers, hopefully, he will get signed somewhere he will play. I have heard that the Jets and a few other teams have expressed interest.

All in all a very good game.

The only bright spot of the day was that I got to drink some of Wesleydad's beer! Thanks!!

I did a lot of thinking on the 4 hour drive home. My impression of Wesley is that they are fast and they are good. For a first game of the season, the mistakes made are fixable for Wesley. CNU just stunk up the state of Delaware today. Good thing they have a bye next week.....there needs to be some major corrections, revamping, retooling, rethinking....something......get the drawing board out! That was only the second time in CNU's history that they were shutout......The D-line and O-line were "whipped" - to use a Kelchner term.

Congrats to Wesley. Good luck the rest of the season

 Side note for the Wesley game today. One of the people setting up the press box and score board clocks had to be taken to the hospital as the teams were entering the field for pregame warm-ups as he got a bad electrical shock. No word on his release from the hospital.

He is doing fine now. Like a true SID, he was more worried about getting the stuff done for the game, then making sure he was ok himself.

For all the stuff you see on the field, don't forget about those guys who work tirelessly behind the scene to help put on that show.

Well, that's good news.  I know he got knocked on his butt.

Do you get to review your work after the game? I think that would give you a unique insight into other things happening  on certain plays!!When my boys were in High School the coaches had a film night ofr the parents and it gives you a different view of the game from above..
