Thanks Bishop. The 4 turnovers in the first half by Wesley really kept NCWC in the game. Frustrating. Anyways, congrads to North Carolina Wesleyan for getting into the NCAA playoffs. The team should be proud.

well, one of 2 things to take from todays game, either wesley is really good or ncwc is not very good. you are not supposed to score 55 points with 4 turnovers. wesley played well, but ncwc is not very good on defense and just mediocre on offense. some positives from the game, it was nice to see kraut battle for passes as opposed to catching mostly fade routes. his catch near the end of the first half was huge in putting wesley in scoring position. the defense seemed a little off today, but stepped up when they had to in the 3rd quarter when wesley put the game away. also, no stupid penalties taken. actually, the officiating was pretty good with very few flags in the game. on to next week.

is there any chance that since there are no seeds that wesley ends up playing Johns Hopkins and Mississippi College goes to Thomas More? That would seem to eliminate flights. If the games go the other way are there 2 flights in the south this week?

I really really hope that is not right about remaking the bracket to avoid flights, however it would not surprise me.

cru and anyone else, i was just thinking that since they didnt really seed teams that it gave them the flexability to change games to save cash. I did not check the mileage, but I know that Miss Col will have to fly to Wesley for sure, not sure about Johns Hopkins to Thomas More, but I would figure that it will be near 500 miles. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Wrong, Mississippi College to Thomas More is 689 miles. Plane flight. (JHU to TMC is 534 miles.)

Mississippi College's going to Huntingdon was one bus trip that they could save.

Ralph, thanks for the info, do they go with just one flight or 2 then?

Before 2009, this bracket would have had two flights in this round and a third flight for UMHB to go to Linfield.

Whatever was causing McSweeney to lose the grip on those first few passes got corrected and IMHO he had a real good second half.. Gotta love the 9 yrd. Hail Mary !!!!

Can there is a better pass catching TE in DIII than McAndrew ?

If anyone would like to win at Dover Downs next week just sit next to me!!! The last two weeks I have had two people win over $10,000 sitting next to me!

Yes that's a comma

Pat covered this in one of his Daily Dose updates ... Round 1 winner of HSC-JHU goes to Thomas More (if DePauw had won they would have traveled). Round 1 winner of MC-HC goes to Wesley (if NCWC had won they would have traveled). So even though there are no seeds the NCAA is proceeding as if there are.
Nothing has been settled for Rounds 3 & 4, however.

FIRST CONGRADS TO WESLEY!!!!! GREAT GAME BOYS!!! BEAT MOUNT UNION!!!!AND THANKS FOR ALL THE RESPECT YALL SHOWED TO US!

Dear Wesleydad,

Im what you call those fly bys that look at every comment on D3 Boards but never post...but this time I think its time to post.

I remember a post earlier this week on what you would be wearing at the game, so I really wanted to see what you look like, because in the posts I have seen you write you seem to be very ARROGANT AND COCKY, but maybe thats just me.

In todays game we played awsome in the first half, with the exception of leaving 14 points on the feild in the because we couldnt capitalize on turnovers. I was very pleased going in at halftime. Being that our lockeroom was right beside Wesleys I could hear almost everything their coach was saying, and let me tell you he was ripping them a new one, but hey the speech must of worked because they came out of halftime with 21 unanswered points in the 3rd.

As we entered the feild as we were stretching I managed to catch a glimpse of you... OHHH!...what a pretty sight, you looked almost like BOY in shock, like you have never seen such before! I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good ole wesleydad I bet your faced changed in the second half where wesley made big plays and seemed to be unstoppable. TO WIN A GAME YOU HAVE TO PLAY 4 QUARTERS AND TODAY WE ONLY PLAYED 2 OR 1.8. THEY ARE A GREAT TEAM AND I HOPE THEY CAN GO DEEP IN THE PLAYOFFS!

BUT THERE IS NO REASON TO COME UP HERE AND POST COMMENTS SUCH AS US HAVING A BAD DEFENSE OR HAVING A MEDIOCRE OFFENSE!!!!

I-G-N-O-R-A-M-U-S

I actually saw you when we came out for halftime

I usually try to avoid mediocre, insulting, childish comments on any of these boards. There is no doubt that your team (Wesleydad) was the better team yesterday. However, I must say that your comment falls into the category of all of the above. You do not determine how good or how bad a team is on one performance! Secondly, I recall a game played in 2007 when Wesley faced an NCWC team that was only 4 years old at the time and was very happy to leave with a win. You faced a team yesterday that is only 6 years old and quite frankly they gave you a fit for one half! I wish Wesley well in the playoffs and sincerely hope you go all the way. However your remarks are insulting, but most of all disrespectful to the kids that play the game. You do not have an attitude problem; you are an attitude problem!

To the rests of the Wesley Fans, thanks for allowing me to visit your board, and good luck the rest of the way.

FWIW, just checked the tape Wesley supplied me to do the highlight package I'll produce once I get to a computer that has the editing program on it. Hopefully will have it available tonight. The play is shot okay, so it will be in there. What a strange, strange play (and quite the box out by the basketball playing McAndrew)

wesleydad · November 22, 2009, 09:05:24 AM

well jesse53 and Bishop64, if you dont like the terms I use to describe what I saw yesterday then so be it. My comments are based on the game that was played. I did not mention any specific player so I did not insult anyone. If you want to say that ncwc played a bad half on defense fine. I was not surprized that wesley scored that much based on the results of earlier games that ncwc played against hampden-sydney and gettysburg. as far as the term mediocre to descirbe the offense, what term would you prefer, average, ok, middle of the road, etc. pick one, I dont go politically correct.

jesse53, you did not have to see what I looked like, you were welcome to say hi as I told you what I would have on so I could meet some of you. As far as arrogant and cocky, been accused of that before since I tend to speak specifically and dont do political correctness. Interesting that I have met many posters on here at games the last 5+ years and dont seem to have problems with any of them.

Wesley was happy to come away with the win 2 years ago as I am sure they were yesterday. I was not in shock at halftime, wesely has trailed and lost before, i was at UWWW 2 years ago and UMHB last year. You are welcome to call me any name you want as I dont get easily offended, but at least have proof to back it up, IGNORAMUS would imply that I dont know anything. I posted earlier this week that wesley would win by 20+, my falut I was off by 10. Good luck next seaons and if we play again stop by and say hi, I am not as bad as you think.
