I just read the Salisbury Daily Times reported that the University of Maryland fourth string QB Bobby Sheahin is at Salisbury and working out with the team.  Sheahin was initially at West Virginia, transferred to Maryland, and sat out a year, and was 4th on the depth chart last year with the Terps.

Junior Ronnie Curley is listed as SU's starting QB.

How have you been. I hope your summer was good.

Do you think us Red Hawks have a chance vs Wesley? You saw what we had last year, and basically the same crew will be back. There is rumors that we will get a D1 transfer at WR. Won't Know till camp opens. Good luck to your Gulls this year.

How have you been?  I trust all is well with you and your family.  I think Wesley is going to be a handful not only for the Red Hawks, but with all the teams they play.  The Wolverines return a "boatload" of talent from a team that had a great run in the NCAA's last year.  With that said, on any given Saturday, anything can happen.  Salisbury went out to Wash & Jeff last year and beat them when they were ranked, and then the Gulls fell flat on their "feathered rear end".

I hope the Red Hawks are able to pick up that D1 Receiver, and best of luck to Montclair State in the upcoming season.

Ok, I'll shoot the first salvo over the bridge.........I think the top 2 spots will be flipped at season's end. Wesley had all they could handle last year against SU....it was the closest game of the year for them until the Whitewater loss. The difference in that game was Warrick basically willing his team to win. If SU can come out of September without stumbling it will be a real war in Dover, but I think the Gulls have what it takes to pull the upset this year. Hopefull in Maryland........GO GULLS!

I agree the Salisbury/Wesley game is usually very competitive and Warrick will be tough to replace. I think the Gulls will need a stand out performance from their defense, which they got last year (held Wesley to 69 rushing yards) . On offense, they will need to control the clock (some success at this last year, 11:30 minutes in 3rd quarter), take advantage of scoring opportunities (missed 27-yard field goal in the first half) and can't turn the ball over (3 last year.)

At the same time, it is a new year and there is a lot of football to be played before then. Wesley has a tough September schedule and Salisbury has two early road tests in Brockport and Christopher Newport, before hosting Delaware Valley.

[SU Backer]

No doubt both Salisbury and Wesley have tough early schedules, but if they both roll into that game undefeated or maybe with just a road loss......Katie bar the door, it will be one heck of a game. Testing yourself early (and having success) breeds excellent play and confidence later in the season. I think this has turned into the real rivalry game for Salisbury, even greater than the in-state Frostburg game at the end of the year, as many of the kids get recruited by both schools, have friends there, etc. I can't wait for the Albright game on Sept. 1, I just want to see a game on that new field.
As far as the transfer from Maryland, I think Ronnie Curley is secure in his position as the starting QB, he did a good job last year and got better each week. I know he is running the 1st team in practice thus far.  Anyway good luck to all the players, looking forward to a great year.

I think that the Wesley/Salisbury game will be a good game...but i have to give th edge to Wesley. I beleiev on both sides of the ball they are WAYYYY to fast.  If Salisbury doesn't have corners who can contain Beavers, Clark and Lanouette, the game will be over early. Thats without even mentioning the yound studs they have at RB.  Good luck to both teams.

  Article about a player doing double duty!!!! I wonder how many players are still   doing active duty and playing ?

[Ralph Turner]

McMurry's punter in 2003, Mike Colvin, was active duty, single dad and punter.

It is that time of year again. The older I get the more I miss being indulged in beginning a run at the playoffs yet again. I am going to jump in on this conversation about Salisbury/Wesley. I played at the 'Bury and know the coaches well. I have been getting some feedback from people closer to the program. Apparently, this is the most athletic team they have brought into camp since Wood has been head coach. So as for athleticism, I think Salisbury will bring to the table the best athletes Wesley faces.

This game is the make or break for each of the other teams season. I HATED losing to Wesley. It is a mutual relationship. With that being said, I think the athletes are important but is not what is going to win that game.

I am now far away from playing that I haven't played with any current players. THAT GAME IS GOING TO BE WON BY THE TEAM THAT WANTS IT MORE. Nothing else about it. Knowing the core of coaches at Salisbury, I don't expect them to bring in anything but players that have the winning mentality. This goes for Wesley too, if you want it then take it, because I know there are a group of men 140 strong, that reside 60 miles away and they are coming to take it and going to put up the biggest fight and come out victorious.
