Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

[DE Wesley Fan]

Thanks so much for asking.  Feels like crap, but Dr's are pleased with his progress and with any luck he'll get back home the middle of next week (fingers crossed).  We at least got to listen to the game together last Saturday, and I think not being there may have been the most painful part of this whole process!  Looking forward to this week's games and to see who can end up on top at the Stagg.

Sorry he is not feeling well but glad the progress is going well.  Sorry you had to miss the game last week but it looks like there is a lot to look forward to with this Wesley team! Here's hoping your husband recovers quickly and you have a great Christmas and a great "off season"!

Sounded like two more really competitive games today.  Had wished the Cru had been able to hold on, but such is life I suppose.  Not to rehash a discussion we seem to have most every year, but I really do wish these games would be nationally televised, especially on a day like today when there wasn't a whole lot on to see.  ESPN3 just doesn't count........  Safe travels to everyone headed to VA next week - enjoy the game!

Without a doubt, the closest in a long time.  Things ought to be interesting next year as it seems like we are starting to get some parity in the top 10......Wesley included, of course!

  Now that the Stagg Bowl is behind us, I would like to thank the Wesley Wolverines for another great season.  I really feel that the team is closer to that illusive final than ever before.  This next season is going to be extremely interesting!!  Happy Holidays everyone.  And be safe out there!!

happy holidays to you too ski.  Wesley has a lot of work to do if they are going to compete with the UWW team I saw last night.  UWW loses plenty on defense so that may keep them from dominating next year.

Merry Christmas to all the Wesley fans.  Another good season, maybe a little better than expected.  The results of the last game certainly give one hope for next year.

It was nice to actually get a chance to see how the game transpired.

It is official.  It was announced by E-Mail that Wesley Football (only) will be joining a conference in 2015.  Which conference that is, I have not a clue.   Saving money and away time for travel was cited as the reasons.  Now to ponder which one.......

That's great news. Will be interesting to see which conference. Of course, citing saving money and away time for travel leaves the door open for a non-AQ CAC, since they didn't cite getting an AQ for the playoffs. Will be interesting how it shakes out.

Think there might be an interested partner now.  This is too obvious to not happen, right?

Only if there is a work around for the roster limits. I believe the NJAC is limited to 100, and Wesley would be well over that. Could be the E8 is now planning to drop Salisbury and Frostburg. That opens the door for a non-AQ CAC. Salisbury, Frostburg, Wesley, SVA (who probably won't last in the NJAC), CNU if they leave the USAC for football. Still need a few more for an AQ, as has always been the problem. I think by the way the release was quoted you'll see a CAC conference with a non-AQ...

Do we think that on Jan. 27 Wesley lets people know that they'll be in a conference in 2015 and on Jan. 30 Cortland tells us that they are leaving the NJAC in 2015- which, along with Brockport's leaving this fall, takes the NJAC down to just six teams- is all just coincidence?  I mean, it totally could be.  Or the folks at the NJAC and Wesley may have had some informal conversations regarding the what-ifs of a Cortland possibly leaving, of which they probably had an inkling was coming (these things generally aren't sudden and surprising). 

Rowan and Kean have both beaten Wesley recently.  It's not as if there is evidence that Wesley would automatically come in and dominate the league- as in win the thing easily every year.  The league could use the addition (for competitive purposes as well tournament access purposes), Wesley could use the addition (playing games against Menlo is silly), and the East region could use the addition quite frankly.  Everybody wins.  I hope this happens.

I am a little bit indifferent about the situation around the 100 player limit. I am sure the Board is reviewing it, since they are losing a good school like Cortland State, who do they get to replace them? I think that you may see some other schools joining the CAC as football only members or vice versa to the NJAC.
