 I hate to put a pin in the balloon but we won't know if Wesley is in the playoffs till they play the rest of the games. With only two spots open and as  things look now not a very good owp or oowp it could be touchy if Wesley loses more than one of their out of DIII games> And they haven't played  LA col. yet!!!

Tomorrow is for sure a must win for Wesley no doubt! Big week for Wesleys opponents as well. TMC plays W&J, a huge game in the PAC. Rowan starts their NJAC schedule with Cortland and Salisbury goes against SJF in a game that will tell how good each team will be (from reading the E8 board I am intrigued by SJF).

LC has a lot to prove and make up for. I wouldn't be surprised to see them lead early but fall quickly as I don't think they have the depth that Wesley probably has. But if it s close, I like their chances as they' ep been there and done that by blowing it.

2 weeks in a row and no game for me.  Life gets in the way sometimes.  I won't be making the trip to Dover today and I am bummed because I wanted to see La Coll.  Oh well, that is how it goes.  I expect Wesley to win and rather comfortably since I do not expect La Coll to have any better luck scoring on the D than anyone else has.  The offense will continue to improve and score.  Enjoy the game, I will be interested in hearing how it went.  Plenty of good games nationally as well today.

You will be missed!  Oh well at least the rain looks like it will subside before the game.

Another dominant win today! Totally shut down LC's running game, hence all the passing yardage given up. Callahan was solid again. Left a few opportunities out there but that's alright. Their D3 slate is spoken for. Now time to focus on improving for Charlotte and after that (I would think) round 1.

Got some help from Salisbury today with the upset of SJF in OT as well so that always looks good. Rowan won, and I will be rooting for TMC tonight over W&J.

It seems like we also found a kicker!

Yeah I was thrilled when the Salisbury score was announced at the game.  That was a quality win for Wesley as well!  The game today was really good overall.  There were quiet spells on both sides of the ball, but I think that had to do more with being ahead than anything else.  I think the 21-0 score at the end of the 1st quarter lowered the sense of urgency a bit.   There were lost opportunities as well such as two dropped interceptions and slightly overthrown breakaways.  I loved the Brandon Wright TD run late in the game.  It was about time he nailed one and it was well deserved.

Oh, and the new kicker ROCKS!!!!!  I never knew baseball players could kick!  I watched him during the halftime fieldgoal competition several games ago and noticed that he could thump that ball.  I joked to a friend that the team should hire him.... Well, funny how things work out...... He easily nailed every PAT today.   Miracles do happen after all!

Now to find out how I am going to deal with the home game withdrawl symptoms....nose bleeds, shaking hands and uncontrolled sharp outbursts.

I've never heard so many happy people after PAT's!!!  Kudos for finding the new kicker.  I was impressed with most of his kickoffs too.  Obviously a solid win.  Still too many of those oh so frustrating false start penalties.  Looking forward to a solid outing in AL next week.

  Chris was a pitcher on the baseball team!!!!

Side note: I believe this is the first time Wesley has opened a season at 5-0 since 2010!

That was a long time ago..

Are you saying Chris is old JaBo???

Baseball players are athletes too! 

Nice to see the kicking game cleaned up. Penalties seemed to have appeared later in the game (holdings, false starts). I think that is something that will fix itself over time. Still an aspect of the game that needs cleaned up though 9-91 yesterday. Was looking at the NCAA stats, Wesley is ranked in the 200s when it comes to penalties. Will start to get worried if it comes to week 8-9 still like that. Don't think this team has played its best football yet.

Not to worried about the passing numbers Melancon put up. When you throw 60 times in a game that is bound to happen, especially with the playmakers LC has at WR.

Don't know much about Concordia-Selma. It stinks they won't be back home until November. Oh well. Hopefully I will see you all then (as I will not be buying plane tickets to Alabama, or California).

Well if he's pushing 40...... (don't know what that says about you and me.)
