Be sure to hit Smithers on State Street in the 'old' historical district the night before or after...as an alum, I know some of the good spots you may not hear about.

The only probale is that Buff st. left the conference for the NJAC so we need two!!!  But seriously I thought that they were going to count them in the future.

So according to the Daily News Record article Wesley's game with conference rival Brockport State is not in region while BC's non conference loss to McDaniel is in region.
  Those are simply the rules.

Jeremy,

I think the deal is this:

1.  BC's loss to McD is in region because both teams are in conferences recognized as South region by the NCAA.

2.  Wesley's loss to Brockport is out-of-region even though Brockport is in the same conference because the ACFC is NOT a recognized conference (only six teams) and Brockport is located in the East region.  In other words, if the ACFC were to add another team, after the probation period, Wesley and Brockport's games would be considered in-region for both.  Clear as mud?

all that is good...but the conference still wont be able to get an automatic berth.

since the conference was formed after (Pcol..please fill in this blank) they are not eligible for an automatic berth for the playoffs.  Single-sport conferences formed after a certain date are not eligible.

PA Wes....wont be making the trip this weekend...things have come up here.

Take the first set of directions.  That brings you in from the west side of Dover and easier access to Wolverine Stadium.  No reason to go north of Dover and back down, just a waste of time.  You'll take a left at Governor's Ave and head north for five blocks before turning left on Mary St.  Parking will be an issue...major issue.  Most of the parking is off street.  The stadium is tucked in between a cemetery and housing.  The "tailgating" section is right by the field - south endzone, and is actually a grass field off the street. 

As far as hotel accomodations, we have plenty.  At least enough for extra 100,000 NASCAR fans that come here twice a year.  The Sheraton is currently under some reconstruction, but I don't think they are closed.  Route 13 is the major corridor through Dover and you'll  find everything you need there.  Wesley is closer to historic downtown.  Also, the Golden Coral is closed due to a fire.  But really, why would you want to eat there?  Dover Downs is the gem, but you'll pay for it.  If you stay till sunday morning and want to have something good before you leave, have the sunday brunch at Michele's in the Dover Downs Hotel.  HUGE! You might need a reservation.

If you get there on Friday and are in need of libation, I suggest a couple of local joints (besides you can go to TGIFridays almost anywhere.  They are: Bubba's - route 13 north bound, half club, half sports bar, on Friday night I'd stay to the sports bar end.  LobbyHouse - Loockerman street, beneath Treadway Towers, warm atmosphere, can get roudy if a good band is playing.  W.T. Smithers - State St. downtown, usual towny bar.

Remember if you come, don't bring your cancer stix.  Delaware is non-smoking.  And since I was just in VA for Thanksgiving, I'm glad, cough, choke, spit.

Enjoy your stay and good luck to all.  These are two good teams and I can't wait to see a great college football game. 

Thanks for the help!

A quick look at mapquest and google image yield two different sets of directions from DC to Dover/ Wesley...

Both routes take you over rte 50, then to 301.  Then:

a) Mapquest has one take 302>MD 454>DE 8>state street...sort of coming in from the South
b) Google Local has one take 300(sudlersville road)>42/15(seven hickories rd)>13 (N. dupont HWY)>State street...this route brings you in the north side of town.

I do not know these roads, and hope some of you folks out in wolverine land might recommend one route or the other.  Both routes claim to be the same length, but route b is offered at 30 minutes longer drive time...

Again, any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Bwana,
I've driven option A from Baltimore a couple times.  Not a bad trip.  Don't know option B.  My GPS takes me up 95 from Bmore.

Gracias, mi amigo!  I appreciate the help!

No, the ACFC will never be a recognized conference, at least not unless some fundamental D-III rules are changed:

Any of you Wesley fans and locals out there...I have a question for you, where is the best area to park come gameday for the big game on Saturday?

I see on the campus map that there is parking available on campus, but that seems to be a few blocks away from the stadium.

Please advise and thanks ahead of time.

C'mon, you knew I had to throw that in there...

Parking??  Good luck.  Off street parking is your best bet.  Just drive around till you find something.  Unless you get there early, you'll have to hoof it.

BigMikeA78

Thanks dedragon....and when you say, get there early....how early are we talking for a noon kickoff?

10:30, or should I try and get there earlier then that...

What time did the gates open for the Ferrum game? There should be 1000 - 1500 fans coming from BC. They like to take their seats early, listen to the band and watch the guys rev-up for action. As for me, I'm a fence walker! ;D

Everyone drive safe and we will see you Saturday a.m. ;)
