[DE Wesley Fan]

Thank you both for your thoughts and prayers.  Makes me feel much better that I'm not the only one who would leave a loved one in favor of a game   Between his issues and the weather, it's looking more like I'll be sitting this one out.  Hope the guys from WDEL do another great job of calling the game since there doesn't seem to be video available (sorry to bring up an obviously sore subject discussed ad nauseum on the Mt U board).  Enjoy everyone, and may the best team win!

Good luck to the Wolverines tomorrow!  I will be at school during the game so I am going to miss out on the nail biting.  Stay sharp and keep fast out there Wesley!

You're more than welcome. Hoping and praying your husband heals quickly and I hope you enjoy listening to the game!

Good luck to the Wolverines tomorrow and no injuries!

Come home for lunch to catch the first part of the game and it is an absolute disaster.  Amazing.

Oh woe Wesley.

 I think I am going to be sick.

I think it's safe to say nobody thought we'd see a first half quite like that!  I know it might not be popular with everyone, but have to say I like the Mt U calls for the onside kick and fake punt.  Never assume a lead is too big in a game like this, and nothing wrong with pulling out all the stops.

Is the officiating as bad in person as it sounds like on the radio?

[Teamski]

WOW!!!!!!  That is the best loss ever!!!    I get out of class and BOOM, I am listening to Wesley kicking an onside kick with 90 seconds left trailing 62-59!  Absolutely friggin' amazing.

Well done Wesley.  You guys showed the DIII world who you are.  Next year, bring it home!

Wow.  If anybody told me yesterday we'd score 50+ today, 1)I wouldn't believe it, and 2)would have sworn we'd have won handily.  Can't say enough about how proud I am of this team for fighting back today (and all year) like they did.  Sorry this year's seniors didn't make it a little further, but next year ahould be freakin' awesome.  Safe travels home for everybody.

I have to say that Wesley played like the #1 team for 3 quarters, they just couldn't get pass that horrendous 1st quarter. My hats go off to Wesley, they showed that's why you play 4 qtr and thats why you don't play games on paper. I think you guys were the better team based on the live stats.

Heard the officiating crew was from Minnesota. I'm embarrassed for my home state.

Now we get to hear the UMU elite fans condescend. Like they had it all along.

Yeah, I'm wizzed. But I'll get over it.

Congrats to the Wolverines.

[dedragon]

Ok. I'm sorry. Mount Fans are being very nice. My bad.

[Kelly Boggs]

Wow, what an effort by Wesley today. Talking about digging out of a hole. Congrats on a good season, the Wolverines were a gritty bunch this year, that is for sure.

Just got back from Alliance a little while ago. Man, so close again. Take away 1 bonehead play and Wesley wins that game.... extremely proud of how they battled being down 31-0 in the first quarter. If that game goes a minute more, Wesley wins. They couldnt stop Callahan. A lot of good things to take away from the last 3 quarters. I was filming on the sideline, and it was amazing how 31-0 could be nullified even in Alliance v. Mount. Couldnt be happier about a loss. Nothing to be sad about other than we wont see the field next week. They played their hearts out and were 1 play, 1 flag, or even one bounce away from winning that game.

The referees were god awful. Never seen worse. The pass interference on Koudossou killed Wesley's momentum after recovering the onside kick. The ineligible receiver call that set Mount up for a FG was questionable (that was a game changer). It was also questionable at the end of the game there was more than 40 sec. left on the clock, which would have meant a punt.... oh well. Over now.

Great season Wesley! Looking forward to what youll bring in 2014.

An epic end to an epic season.  Wesley was awesome this year.  They bounced back when they needed to and just a breadth of fortune and they could have pulled out one of the most improbable wins in DIII history.  Next year may just be the year Wesley moves on.  Now the long, painful wait until then.  Water Boy, great to know that you got to see something the rest of us didn't.  That game will live on forever in Wolverine lore, at least until Wesley makes the finals!
