thanks rscl70.  leaving school at 145 to get on the road.  nice to have friends who will cover your class when you ask them.  hope to see as many of you as possible this evening.

Mount will be the best everything that Wesley has faced this year, likely not even close in most areas to the other teams despite the rankings of those other teams.  That is no slight to any of them, that is a fact.  Mount is a totally different level, one that Wesley is trying to get to.  It will take a near perfect effort on Wesley's part to get it done.  They will have to play all 4 quarters with limited penalties and turnovers.  Can the secondary play a good enough game not to have the wolverines in a hole early due to coverage breakdowns?  Can the offense move the ball and score more than 7?  The answer to those to questions will determine the outcome of the game in my opinion.  See you all at the game.

SAFE TRAVELS TO ALL

I would not be surprised to see Mount send three deep on the first series, just to see what happens...with Denton and Collins on the sidelines and Claycomb in the middle, one has to get open....

Mount did what they supposed to do, beat the teams on their schedule. The fact is their schedule this year is weak. That's not a knock on how good Mount is its just the facts. This week we will see how good they are when they play their 1st top ten opponent.

Subbing for a more intemperate post ....

Waterboy: Really?  This is not unlike some of the posts the more seasoned Wesley posters complained about from Linfield.

First of all, it's ignorant of the quality of the OAC. Second, it completely misses the quality of a WIAC school that took UWW to the wire, a FG with 78 seconds to go. Without going into  details, let's just say Wesley would love to play UWW that close. Third, Wabash looks like a top 10 team to me.

What's with trashing the schedule of opponents? Just last week we heard about SFJ being "likely the best team" UST would face and the MIAC sked "was not that good." Then the game starts and SJF puts up numbers that are closer to MIAC bottom dwellers ... 133 yards of total offense, 10 first downs, no offensive trips to the endzone, no answer to Waldvogel, who was out at halftime. Losses to Salisbury and Hobart weren't nearly so gory. Perhaps that slam of another league could have served as a cautionary tale.

That said, I'll be pulling for Wesley this week and would love to see two new teams next weekend in Salem.

In Alliance today.  Team had a good practice with ESPN starting to install the cameras.  It is overcast and cold, but luckily, not prohibitively so.   This is going to be a great game!  The Wolverines have been here before and are as ready as they can be for another run at the finals.  I feel really good about their chances.  Keep the mistakes to a minimum and a win is very likely.

Glad to hear you're settling in nicely.  Looking forward to a good game.  Hope we come out strong and keep our foot on the gas.

No offense to Wesley but you realize that with a name like the Wolverines you are not gonna get much love from any Ohioan. That said, if you do prevail just make sure you also win the last game of the season. The Stagg Bowl is a pretty nice experience. Especially the Stone Station guys. Olinemom will be there with her brownies Im sure. Good People...good times. Being as the game is a Friday I cant go no matter who is in it.   I will still watch....but the food is not gonna be the same

[DGPugh]

Go Wesley
i want to see some different uniforms in Salem a week from now.

safe travels to and from Ohio and hopefully to Salem
keep the faith

[thewaterboy]

One more sleep and itll be gameday. Wesley has a shot...and I know that if you keep knocking on the door, eventually you will get an answer. Wesley will come aknocking for the 5th time tomorrow. Will they get that answer and get to Salem. We will find out.

[DE Wesley Fan]

Isn't it morning yet? Hope to see Wesley come out and execute a good game plan. If we're on our game this could certainly be our day. 

[Olinemom]

Wesleydad, have a great time in Alliance this weekend.  I'm hoping to watch the game on ESPN3 whatever that is, and I WON'T BE COLD BECAUSE i have never been colder than the day I was in Alliance.   Hope your QB has a good day.  See you next week for sure.  I've got the brownies covered. I hope that the game is a good one.

sitting in my hotel room after having some great wings and brew with some mount and wesley people.  chad, it was good to see you, I know I did not talk to you much, but I appreciate what you did while my son played at wesley.  5 times in 7 years to the semis, will this be the year?  who knows, but 1 thing I am sure of is that there are plenty of teams who think they should or could have been here who aren't.  go out and play hard, leave nothing to chance and see what happens.  I am not usually a cheerleader, but this time I will be GO WOLVERINES, f'n win this game.  Breakfast at Don Ponchos with some good Mount people, then game time.  sunny and 30 seems like good football weather to me.

[Teamski]

GAMEDAY!!!!!

Heading out from the hotel shortly.  Let the chips fall as they may!  Go Wolverines!!
