pawesley, teamski, subacker, et al.  I will be heading down to dover this week hoping for a good game.  Since it is Halloween I think the students are planning a costume tailgate so that may be show enough.  Salisbury seems to be down this week and the offense does not seem nearly as explosive so this could get ugly if Wesley protects the ball which they have not done as well lately.  The penalties are a concern since you cant keep giving away yards against good teams.  They need to win out to keep the home field for the region which is huge.  I hope they havent peaked and leveled off as they have seemed to do the past couple of years.  They still need to play a tough game before the end of the season, hopefully the rivalry will produce that.

In my personal opinion, the practices are more intense now than they were at the beginning of the year.  The team is definately focused.

No doubt.  I am really looking forward to seeing how this game plays out.

I think that the Wolverines will indeed have their hands full for the next 3 games. Salisbury in the rivalry, a Lake Erie team that beat Salisbury, and an NAIA ranked Ohio Dominican. With each team a little tougher than the next, Wesley should have a good prep for the playoffs (as long as no one is punching anyone).

ski, practice intensity does not mean much if it does not translate to the game.  Wesley has been very good and I am sure they had intensity in practice the last couple of years at the end of the season.  You, as have I, have seen this team reach a certain level during the season and then not improve to the level needed to defeat the top teams that you have to beat to win the whole thing, which is what we all want, at least I hope so.  Having traveled to UWWW and UMHB in the last couple of years and taking a trip to see Mount Union play last year in the semis, those teams have been able to raise it to another level while Wesley has not been able to.  Winning all the games in the season is great, but not enough if you dont get to the big dance, ask any of the players who were around the last 4 - 5 years and I am sure they will say that they are disappointed in not playing in the Stagg Bowl.

Well stated.  I suppose all we can do is hope for the best and feel fortunate that the team is as good as it is.

I believe the Panthers have had this game in the back of their minds all season. Hope it's a good one.

Looks like it could be a rainy day tomorrow. Hopefully not enough to affect the game too much. We're looking forward to a good game.

Go Hawks!!

Good luck to LaGrange today.  I was hoping to see the local Ga DIII rep in action this year, but it wasn't meant to be.  I look forward to seeing them in action next year and wish them success with the rest of this season. 

Maybe we can get a travel game between LaGrange and my alma mater, Hobart, going in the future.  A North-South exchange, so to speak.
