That was a great effort from Wesley today. Other than a couple errors the Wolverines played a real good game today against a very good UMHB team. And once again it was nice to see all the players gather in the middle of the feild after the handsakes.

Now...will Wesley wear the correct shoes this week?

PA_wesleyfan · December 02, 2006, 11:00:16 PM

Hey no shoe comments til at least Wednesday!!

And no that wasn't a shoe on wheels truck backing into the stadium in the fourth quarter...

Good to see you and Keith today Pat. Got a chance to visit the Stone Station guys after the game. Good to meet some other fans.

You missed a good one! I don't know if I have ever seen Coach Drass smile so much after a game.

A few thoughts on yesterday. The D played a great game. Subtract the 42 yrds given up on the last series and UMHB has less than 190 total yrds. of O. Take away a couple of unforced errors on O by Wesley and the score may have been more one sided. We may have to come up with a name for the Stadium.... Hmmm have to think about that. Turf of Terror!!!! Den of Despair !!!! Haven't lost a home game since Salisbury in 03, I believe.

I don't think I know you but it's good to have someone else to put their thoughts here on the boards.

I'll put my two cents in for next week later, but I certainly see a competative game from the Wolverines..

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO???.. Would somebody please explain that to me? I like it just don't know it's origin.

Congrats to Wesley on South Region title. Rep the South Region well in the semifinals and get to the Stagg Bowl.

Just checking to see how many Wesley fans (parents or otherwise) are making plans to go to this game? I'll be there...

ScheckDiesel · December 04, 2006, 10:37:30 PM

Just thought I would stop by the Wesley board and say good luck this weekend... as a UWW student I expect a good game and I hope for better weather. I know that last year's game wasn't a true representation of your talent... anyways...

Looking forward to Saturday!!!

While I would like to see Wesley, who beat CMU, win it all. It's going to be tough. Playing #2 UWW at home and if you get out of there alive you possibly have to play Mount at Salem. Wesley has some outstanding speed but I didn't get a chance to see any depth in the CMU game. Mount has the same abiltiy as Wesley at the 2nd level and maybe even the 3rd so it will be tough, but let's see you get it done.

Congrats to Wesley on making the semi-finals! UW-Whitewater is tough, but has had two closer games in a row now. It looks like there's no problem throwing the ball though if the running game isn't there. Best of luck and hope for an injury free game!

Some not so good news:

http://democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061205/SPORTS09/612060334

The SUNY-Brockport football team must forfeit three victories for using a player who was not enrolled at the college, the NCAA ruled this week.

Wide receiver Shannon Brinson, a former Spencerport High star, played in nine games and started in six for the Golden Eagles, who finished 4-6. Brockport athletic director Lin Case blamed the oversight on a computer error.

Case said Brinson, who would have been a senior, was dismissed from the team prior to the Golden Eagles' season finale win over Buffalo State.

That win will stand, but three victories achieved with Brinson in uniform will be forfeited, dropping Brockport's record to 1-9.

PA_wesleyfan · December 05, 2006, 09:31:22 PM

How can that happen?

Geeesh. How can someone walk onto a football field and noone know that the kid is not a student??

pg04 · December 05, 2006, 10:04:04 PM

Your guess is as good as mine!

BVHawk -

Your opinion that there's no problem throwing the ball against UW-W is a bit perplexing. What facts do you base this statement on? Whitewater's year-to-date national defensive rankings are not too shabby and wouldn't give you much ammunition to shoot with:

Total Defense #20 Wis.-Whitewater
Rushing Defense #4 Wis.-Whitewater
Pass Efficiency Defense #27 Wis.-Whitewater
Scoring Defense #8 Wis.-Whitewater
Passes Intercepted #2 Wis.-Whitewater
Turnover Gain #2 Wis.-Whitewater
Sacks #12 Wis.-Whitewater

I do know from watching or listening to all their games this year that they do show some weakness to an occasional long ball, but that is not reflected in their defensive stats nor has it hurt them scoring-wise in any game this year. Opposing QB's are usually under constant harrassment from a strong, fast D-line and linebacker corps led by Kleppe. And except for the UWL game in round 2 (over 100 yards), no one has run on them all year. I could go on and on, but you get my drift. Most of Whitewater's problems deal with the high number of penalties and 3rd down conversions (esp. last week vs SJU), not the pass defense as you seem to be implying.
BTW, how many games have you seen them play this year?

Thanks!!
