NJLincolnLion:

I'll even throw in a Kyle Myrick reference for you.

gordonmann:

Glad to hear from you!  I listened to the broadcast, and as usual, you guys did an great job!.  As the cliche goes, on "Any Given Saturday", and it was the Aggies Saturday.

Thanks for throwing in the Kyle Myrick reference  .  The Lions could use a couple of Kyle Myricks this upcoming season, since the CIAA is no joke!

Keep up the good work!

Salisbury losing Chandler on the defense for the season gave me a flashback to a few years ago when the Gulls lost QB Dustin Johnson for the season.  It's going to be tough remaider of the season for the maroon and gold.  Good Luck Jarrell and get well soon!

[XSUGull]

There is no question that the loss of Jarrell Chandler will hurt the defense for Salisbury, however, as the old saying goes, you are only as good as the last man on your bench. I know there are other players that are ready to step up in Chandler's absence and keep the Sea Gulls afloat. Two names that come to mind that are going to be leaned upon a bit more are McCall Tyler and Paul Cynewski.

njlincolnlion: You mentioned that the injury to Chandler gave you a flashback to when the Sea Gulls lost Dustin Johnson for the year back in 2005. That team ended up going 8-3 and won the school's first ECAC Bowl game. Both are/were devastating losses but I'm confident that the Sea Gulls, like in '05, will be able to keep things going in the right direction. The interesting thing is that after Johnson got injured SU's next opponent was the Apprentice School. Salisbury set a school-record for points in a game with a 77-13 win (the record was broke last year). Salisbury's foe this week is that same Apprentice School team.

Thanks XSU.  It took me a year after that game not to look at a Sea Gull and not have a case of the shakes

My unprofessional expert picks for Week 5:
XSUGULL season record: 7-5-2*

Salisbury vs. Apprentice School
Like Wesley, the Sea Gulls' playoffs start a bit early. If they have any hopes of an NCAA postseasn they are going to have to win out. I've said this before and I still believe it; the Apprentice School plays the triple option very well. They know their assignments and stick to it. What has given them issues in the past is when Salisbury has run counters. When SU does that the aggresive Apprentice defense has got in trouble. I like Coach Wood and Fleetwood to draw up a good game plan as Salisbury gets back on track. Salisbury 41, Apprentice School 14.

Wesley vs. Frostburg State
Frostburg has continued to show improvement with their new head coach but I think his ACFC opener is going to be rough. I think the Wolverines have too much fire power for the Bobcats to keep up with. I like the Wolves to put up some big offensive numbers in this one. Wesley 45, Frostburg State 13.

Getting ready to leave for the ride to Frostburg St. for the game.  Nice weather expected for the weekend so that will not effect anything.  I agree with XSU, wesley will likely put up some big numbers as widener was able to do so and widener was totally ineffective against wesley on offense.  if anyone is making the trip we will see you there.

Have a good game!!!  While Llamaguy is in Cancun, Hampden-Sydney is coming to Bridgewater.  I don't think it will have a happy ending.  Well maybe for the Tigers, unless our kids play a whole game, which has been a problem so far!!!!  Olinemom

[Teamski]

Well, Wesley beat Frostburg St. 38-6.  I was only able to catch about 5 minutes of the game early in the 2nd quarter and already, Wesley had racked up 5 penalties, 2 of which negated interceptions by the secondary even though they were 21-0 up!    Onto next week.  Looking forward to a game report from the usual sources!

[Teamski]

9 Penalties for 64 yards with NO turnovers.  Definately better than the 2 previous games.  Wesley led  the game, 28-0 at the half.  Great job by Larry beavers, 4 receptions for 111 yards including a 44 yarder.  Pennewell had 20 runs for 95 yards as well.  McSweeney did good. 14 of 17 for 289 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions.  Keep this up and Wesley will get out of it's funk get back to the game it has been known to dole out!

two of the penalties were questionable according to the radio crew. one drive was 97 yrds and a second was 99yrds. frostburg got 70 of their 169 yrds on one play in the 4t quarter

[wesleydad]

just got back from frostburg.  nice area and an easy drive back home.  the game was as expected, wesley controlled the ball and was able to run or pass.  the 2 penalties that negated interceptions, one was d offsides, the other was questionable for a late hit to the qb, helmet to helmet was the call i think.  good game in most areas.  some concern about kickoff coverage as frostburg returned 3 near midfield, will have to shore up that part.  good game, on to iona, which should be a good test for the wolverines.

The roster limit has nothing to do with choice. It's a matter of money.
Those 60 to 75 extra players bring in a lot of money! Like it or not that's the way it is.


I now understand.  But that doesn't make it right. Just like POLITIC'S !!!

It ain't over till it's over, and when you get to the fork in the road, take it.

What is this from 

[SU Backer]

  Bad news out of Salisbury Maryland for my SU Seagulls.....starting linebacker Leonardis reportdedly broke his leg against Newport and is out for the season. Add to that one of the noseguards tore a knee ligament and is out for at least several weeks. Chandler was already out for the year. And I also just heard that 5 defensive starters were removed from the team for disciplinary reasons unrelated to football today! I checked the roster and all the names I was looking for were indeed gone. I fear my beloved birds may be cooked.....I really feel bad for the seniors, as this was a good team that still had a shot at the playoffs even up until today. But you can't lose 8 total starters on defense and stay at the same level, they are just not deep enough to recover from this IMO.  I still love the team and support them now more than ever, but we shall see how they respond this week at SJF. I hope for the best...Go Gulls!

Well that sucks!  Sorry to hear that.  It sure looks like some benchers are going to have to kick in and step their game up.  Good luck at SJF.  It will be a tough one to be sure.
