WEEKEND WIND AND CHILL: Strong north winds will develop across Alabama over the weekend due to the tight pressure gradient from Sandy to the east, and the Arctic high to the northwest. I expect winds both Saturday and Sunday to average 15 to 25 mph, with gusts over 30 mph at times. And, we will struggle to get out of the 50s both Saturday Sunday as the very cold air is pulled southward on the west side of Sandy's circulation. Bottom line is that the weekend will be dry, but cold and blustery.

Well, that's just GREAT! 

Brr - we're heading down for the game so I guess I better bring a coat!  But on the bright side at least it won't be raining to boot.  My other half is trying to convince me we should go to the Alabama game in Tuscaloosa after this one, but maybe this will help change his mind.

Wesleydad, our defense the last four games has been vastly improved from the first two. Improved enough to slow down Wesley? We'll have to wait and see. If we can get/keep pressure on the QB I think we can create some turnovers and make it a game. Definitely worried about how the two week layoff will affect both sides of the ball, especially the offense which had built some good momentum before the break.
Last year against Wesley we made some mistakes early and were never really in the game. In 2010 we stayed close for the first half before things got away from us in the third quarter. We will obviously have to play 60 minutes of solid football and limit the mistakes that have let us get too far behind in out previous match-ups with Wesley so that we can keep it close and at least have a chance at the end.

Hawks, thanks for the insight.  I think the 2 weeks off will hurt more than help, but may be offset by wesley's crazy travel the last 2 weeks.  wesley knows what is at stake with this game, a win and likely at least 1 home game in the playoffs, a loss and likely on the outside looking in.  if they keep the hawks under 20 they will win the game.  enjoy the game, but the weather sounds like it will be a little uncomfortable for the fans.

  There is a 25 mph breeze in Dover every game!!! Though I can't say the cooler temps will help Wesley sonce they have played more games in the hotter weather stadiums most of the year..

Montgomery is sure not Dover, i spect yall will fit the weather a bunch better than us

i hope the Hawks can step up their game and hang with yall

Hopefully I can keep the grill lit in that wind. If you get to campus early look me up in the tailgating area. We're usually next to the big tree nearest where the visiting team buses park. Look for a green canopy(unless the wind takes care of that) and a dark blue Ford Ranger truck.

Yeah, PA, that's what I was getting at. Game is in Montgomery but looks like it's going to be Dover weather. Either way, can't wait til Saturday.

Go Hawks!

So, word on the ASC board is that Huntingdon is hosting UMHB week one next season. That's pretty awesome to have the Cru coming to town. I had already heard that we are going to Miss. College and that because of scheduling conflicts we won't be playing BSC next year. Hope that one gets figured out soon as I would hate to lose that rivalry game for long.

i figured we'd be playing mostly USA South teams ?

The CRU....  so we keeping Wesley ?

Thanks!  If we get in soon enough we'll try to find you - will all depend on how cooperative the airline is Saturday morning

I agree that Wesley will be bringing Dover's usual weather with them this time around.   Actually, the weather was pretty mild the last time Wesley was in town, but nowhere this cold.  Fumbles anyone?

No, Wesley wasn't included in what I was told. Hope to see you Sat.

Go Hawks!

For those Huntingdon fans, I may try and run down there for the game, although the weather is making me think twice. Is there good parking if I was to drive down in a 26' motorhome?

[DGPugh]

just past Sanford Stadium (as u pass it on the right) the next right (just beside Cloverdale Campus- adjoining the stadium 'complex' 

there is a lot just down that road where some campers set up.

if u show up, look for Hawks and I (he and his wife grill near the stadium...just ask)

i am a fat bald guy, i set in the endzone under the scoreboard 

hope u make it
keep the faith

If you take the Fairview Ave exit off of I65 southbound, take a left to cross under the interstate and Fairview takes you right to HC. When you get a to 5 way intersection with Woodley Rd veering to the right, stay straight on Fairview to the stop sign just ahead. To the left you will see the front lawn of the Cloverdale campus where everyone tailgates. You should be able to get the motorhome up in there. My wife and I are usually at the other end of the lawn closer to the stadium. Look for a green canopy and a dark blue ford ranger. Hope to see you there.

Go Hawks!
