Ahh yes!     Congrads to Ben Martin on making the D3football.com Play of the Week.  I am happy my wide camera was able to catch the play as I was sure he was going to be downed behind the line of scrimmage.  Keep an eye on this kid.  I have been really impressed with his acceleration and moves.  Earlier in the season, the Menlo TV announcers were really impressed as well when he started tearing down the sidelines play after play racking up some serious yardage.

Nice run.  I think he could easily be the starter.  He has better acceleration and makes people miss.  If not this year, he will get plenty of touches next year.  I hope he gets them this year because he could make a difference against a Mount or Whitewater.

I was just watching the play again and had a laugh seeing the Wesley left tackle start blasting the left guard for missing his assignment right in the middle of the play, obviously thinking that Martin was about to get tackled.  Hilarious.

That's funny -- I never even noticed it until you mentioned it.  He did recover in time to make another block, though!

Great for Baynard to have stiff competition to keep him at the top of his game too.  After so many years of injuries at that position it feels awfully good to have a stable this time around.  Maybe we should ask Rutgers if they have anybody who can come help us out on special teams

This was in yesterday's Delaware State News.

There is another feature in today's edition on the matchup between the Wesley d-line and Hobart's O-line. Don't know if it's posted on online yet.

Third straight day with a feature in the DSN.

Weather is looking like it could be rainy. Six percent chance at kickoff and 47 degrees with the chance rising to 24% and a high of 53 by 3 pm.

Great weather... is that normal for December in Dover??  Much better than the crap we deal with in the Ohio Valley.  Anyways, I'm getting WAY ahead of myself because there are two great games to be played before this potential matchup comes to fruition, but will you be headed to Alliance next weekend --(if both teams win, obviously)?

I will be up there -- would be great to meet you. 

I'm sure I'd be able to catch up with my old friend, wesleydad, also.  And maybe some more of the Wesley group?

OK, short but amusing and similar story --

When I was a junior we played at Wisconsin-Osh Kosh.  The last play of the half resulted in me getting absolutely planted by a Titan LB after a long throw.  We got a 15 yard personal foul on the play.  What happened was (and you can see on the film from the endzone) my Center punched our RG in the mouth, because he got absolutely bull rushed by the Osh Kosh LB and the zebras threw the flag.

Pretty funny -- our coach was not happy at halftime with anything going on, but especially that.

I'm from northeast Ohio so I will be there if that matchup comes to be, and I'm with you on the weather. This weekend in Dover i might as well bring shorts 

Making the trip this weekend to Dover. See you all there

Looks like there's a 24 hr delay on articles published today going onto the site, but thanks for the heads up. Nice job on the coverage. Wish Hobart's local paper was this interested in the matchup.

We usually get our feature every Thursday (U-Del Tue, DelState Wed, Wesley Thur) but since we are the only college team in the state left playing, I guess we get all three days this week.

If Wesley wins, I'll be there.

I stayed in Canton on our last couple times we've been to Alliance, Stayed in Alliance the first time in "09 and the Mount posters took great care of me at the local watering hole (That I believe is closed now. Unfortunate because they had good wings and a lot of Great Lakes Brewing Co selections.)

They weather in Dover as schizophrenic as the lead singer from Twenty-One Pilots (Had to get the local Columbus band reference in there.) this time of year.  It was darn near 70  here on Monday and 31 this morning when I got in the car to go to work this morning.

[wesleydad]

time to put the prediction out there.  Wesley is too good for Hobart.  The offense will be able to do what they have been doing all year.  I hear how good the Hobart D is, but they are not likely any better than Charlotte and Wesley put up 33 and 500+ yds on them.  Avoid the penalties and the turnovers and this will be like the rest of the D3 games have been this year, over early.  I think Hobart struggles moving the ball, their offense has not been running up scores on teams not nearly as good as Wesley's defense is.  I think 42 - 17 is about right.  I don't think the weather is going to be as much of an issue.  Rain may be holding off until 2 - 3 in the afternoon.  Lets hope so.

If my boys get there, we'll be there!  Looking forward to a good game Saturday.  While it sounds like this one should be more competitive, would be nice to get out to a strong start and never look back.

Here's hoping for a mistake-free game for Wesley today!!!

[wesleydad]

Ok, here we go.  Heading out to pick up my dad and then we are off to Dover for the game.  Take care of business and move on.  See you all there.

[DE Wesley Fan]

Looking forward to a good game. Hope we start out strong again and put this to bed early. Let's go Wesley!
