Thanks PA_Wesley Fan and Pat

...OilCan  Thank you again.

PA_wesleyfan,

You're welcome, however, I was just perpetuating a courtesy shown to our travelling crew by some kind Wesley folks.  You fellas have been very gracious hosts!

Looking forward to another South Region final in Dover this weekend.  With no dog in the hunt, I'm hoping for an exciting, high scoring, back and forth game that comes down to someone having to score or make a stop in the endzone opposite the score board (that's been our vantage point for watching) and may the best team win.

Safe travels to everyone

Good Luck to Wesley and UMHB.

I think travel for UMHB may be a factor in this game. The weather may be chilly, but I do not think that will be a factor.

Look to be a very good game

chilly weather would be a major improvement over the weather we had in texas on saturday.

Old ends, UMHB has been used to long travel.

2004 -- four playoff games on the road to Stagg, plus 400+ mile bus trips to Miss College and Sul Ross St in the regular season.
2005 -- flight to Willamette and 7-hour bus trip to Louisiana College.
2006 -- flight to CNU and 400+ mile bus trip to Sul Ross State back to back.
2007 -- 400+ mile bus trip to Miss Coll and then flight to UW-W.  Most UMHB fans would dismiss travel as a problem in the UWW game.

I think that the ASC and the SCAC teams are accustomed to long trips and may not be affected as much as teams in other parts of the country.

If it wasnt for the fact of possibly being in Maine or Vermont with hoops...that may happen

The weather is looking good so far for Saturday according to this morning's forecast: low 40's and sunny.

Understand about the Texas travel. Brother lives in Odessa took the wife and I on a 500 mile to dinner. To him that was just around the corner.

I learned to drive in Texas but didn't appreciate distance until I moved to Utah.  I was used to a 2 or 3 hr drive being in state, but when I had to drive 100 miles to find a Wal-mart, I stopped complaining about driving far.

I don't know alot about Dover, but I did notice they have a Jakes Burgers there now...

While not a sit down dinner, it's well worth the stop for a great burger at lunchtime...

Jake's Burgers is a favorite in Dallas, too.  Jake is the nephew of the creator of a nother burger joint called Keller's, and old-fashioned 50's drive-in.

(Jakes' original location was a small building in a "wet" precinct in Dallas so you could get a burger and a beer.)

You know it is a great place to eat, because you will see a 2007 Mercedes 560 parked next to a beat-up 1961 F-10 pickup.

There's always the slots at Dover Downs Has five-star restaurant called Michele's (pricey, but good, also has an awesome breakfast buffet, need reservations).

Young person nightspot, probably Bubba's out near the track. It has dancing and pool & games in the back. (There are probably a lot of Bubba's in Texas, right  Ralph.  )

There are more young professional establishments down near the capital off of State State Street: Loockerman Exchange, Smithers.

You can find just about any chain restaurant on route 13. Uno, Applebees, TGIFriday, etc.

Movies are at the Dover Mall across from Delaware State on 13.

No sales tax, so save on x-mas shopping. I know KMack's wife was shopping last weekend while he and Pat covered the game.

If you really have time and want to shop, their are outlets down route one in Rehobeth about 45-50 minutes south. The best burger joint down there is Five Guys Burgers.

A night stroll around Olde Dover would be another inexpensive thing to do.  Go to the Dover Green at the heart of dover and check out the old 1700-1800's dwellings there as well as the site of Delaware signing of the Declaration of Independence.  It's a pretty place...... 
So, after the game, hit lunch at Smither's on State and walk over to the green.....
