Hey Team...WD...

I was out at a local establishment here in North Canton, and ran into a few Walsh football players. We were chatting about people we knew, etc... I mentioned to them that I knew they were playing Wesley, and they were very dismissive. I gave them a little history of how good I thought Wesley was, but they were not impressed. Of course, they believe they would kill Mount as well if they played. I just shook my head and laughed.

I will make sure to catch up with you guys if you come to town for that game.

We lived in North Canton for 8 years (just moved) and skunks_ is correct. Walsh will have their hands full with Wesley and I would expect Wesley to come out on top this October. I met a few of their players a couple years ago and they thought Mount and the top D3 teams would be too much for their program.

thanks for the info skunks and raider. did not know anything about walsh and hadnt looked them up yet to see who they play. will be interesting when they meet. shame wesley has to play up to fill out the schedule. skunks and raider, my trips will be limited this year as my younger son is getting married in october and as you can tell by the date did not check with me as to when a good time to get married was, certainly not during football season.

hope all is well and if nothing else a trip to the stagg is still on the agenda.

Congrads to Wesley's Chris Mayes, Mike Asiedu and Jeff Morgan for making D3 Football's preseason All Amerrican team. Well done gentlemen!

Teamski,

IYO what teams will be the greatest challenge to Wesley this fall?

This page(http://football.huntingdon.edu/) has a link to pictures of the Huntingdon's new turf and visitor's side seating construction. The only minus is with the repositioning of the playing surface to account for the future addition of a track, the home seating and press box aren't centered on the 50 yd line. I know there are plans to add a section to the north end of the seating to even them up but I don't know if the press box can be moved or if there are plans to add on to it too.

I don't see how you can get a track around that configuration. You will need some type of blunted oval as we have at McMurry.

By the way, our national champion runners say that our track at McMurry is as good as Mike Myers Track at UT-Austin. I hope the same for you when you add track.

The distant (north) end of the track also contains the Steeplechase water jump.

Teamski,

Well, obviously Charleston Southern will be the most challenging. Any FCS team offers a Division III team a serious challenge. I talked to some of the players and they are really hyped about it. Wesley players really enjoy a tough game when they can get it. It allows them to step up their game. Right now, I don't see any of the other teams giving Wesley a run for their money, but we all know how teams work on their game to be the giant killers. Wesley is travelling quite a bit once again, so they cannot take anything for granted.

ski, hope all is well in dover. things get started this week so it will be nice for you to see some practice and let us know how things look. what will be the decision at qb? the defense looks like it will be better than last year with the pre-season all americans which will not be good for most opponents. points will be tough to come by for the opposition. the schedule doesnt give us much chance to see them, the road games are a bit far away. i am sure that charleston southern took the wesley game as a breather, central florida and florida st for their first 2 games. hopefully wesley can compete. will likely make the first game against etbu, not sure after that, schedule is filled with the youngest son getting married in october, stuff needs to get done since it is in connecticut. when is the scrimmage?

Wesleydad:

I'm in a similar situation. Son of one of our best friends is geting married on 10/8 so will miss the Frostburg game.

Hoping to get to see a playoff game or two but don't want to be too presumptive.

Looking forward to insight from Teamski.

Wesley had 190 players show up for the first day of camp. Interesting to see who will be the next surprises of camp

beenhit2hard · August 14, 2011, 04:24:07 PM

Makes for a lot of one on onme coaching

Hampton U SID · August 16, 2011, 11:31:27 AM

we actually have a player from Chincoteague on our roster this year -- might be a first for us

NedM · August 16, 2011, 03:24:07 PM

PA-Wesleyfan:

I was astounded when I saw that number but drove by the field this morning and could believe it. Also amazing they have that much equipment.

Does Wesley cut players or do they rely on "natural selection" and assume someone tenth on the depth chart will decide it's time to move on to their lifes's work?
