Are you still coming to Dover next week? We have about 12 people coming for the Induction Friday. Most are staying over for the game so we'll probably  try and set up a tailgate down there. I'll let you know what to look for

Sounds like you had an exciting game?

It was a wacky game.  We returned a kickoff 83 yards for a td (first for us since either '98 or '96) and they have a tailback who got untracked in the second half. Got up 32-13 and they went to work. We could get untracked throwing the ball, but running was a heck of a chore. 

For those tailgaters planning on a trip to Painesville, Ohio (Wesleydad, pa?) its a decent sized parking lot (not like ours now -- haha) so you should have room to tailgate before your game on Nov 8.

Far as this week PA....As of this moment I am coming, but that may change.  There's a chance I will go with the golf team to a tournament this weekend.  Will let you know later in the week.
We're staying in Wilmington with it sounds like everyone but UDel having homecoming up rt. 13 (salisbury, wesley, del state)

Guess what?  UDel is also having homecoming this weekend.  My wife and I are going to Lincoln's (20 miles from UD) Homecoming this weekend (the first in 48 years with a football game).  My daughters (UDel & Salisbury) are also going to their respective alma maters for Homecoming.

Congratulations to the Sea Gulls on a much needed win considering the circumstances!

just listened to the podcast.  glad to hear that pool b is going to get 3 bids, so the winner of the wesley/salisbury game should get in and the other should have a shot at a pool c.

Sorry this is old news but I just saw this on the front page of D3Football.com "What we are reading" section:

Check out the mug shot of Reginald Gooch II.  I am sure his parents are proud:

Salibury U Players Arrested

I think that comes from his college ID, not mug shot. I least I hope.

I hear ya.  The hotels in the region have got to be real happy with that number of homecomings, and the easing of gas prices.

The early forecast calls for partly cloudy and in the 60's so it should be great football and tailgating weather !

On the old News

It is a disgrace how a knuckle head like this can shame the current S.U. team, coaching staff, and entire University.  This is an insult to all previous Salisbury football alumni and the mind-set they believed was instilled in the football program.  It is unfortunate that half the defense was lost in this incident.  The current players have the selfish and stupid decisions of those young men to thank for this loss.  It doesn't look like Gooch learned anything from this fight in the mug shot. 
One of the things that you have to learn as a D-3 football player is that you're not entitled to anything, especially at Salisbury.  A team has to earn respect and maintain it.  There are no scholarships.  They only thing that makes you special are your teammates.  That is what is great about D-3.  This is a bunch of guys who love football so much that they devote the time of a scholarship player just to be able to play and when you have that balance thrown off by things like this; it hurts. 
It takes a lot more positive to erase the negatives.

Go Gulls

I don't think those five players are worth mentioning when you talk about Salisbury football. They hurt the program and themselves. I will say that it was great to see the Gulls succeed without them. That was a big win last Saturday to overcome all that adversity and come away with a 4OT thriller.

I agree.  And, SU did great without them, too!

To the Sea Gull football players and fans, we must move on from the unfortunate incident that occured.  The implicated players were kicked off the team and suspended from the university.

Some folk need to be very careful coming onto a board with a "haughty attitude".  Remember, these are young people are away from home, and their judgements are not always clear.  What happened at Salisbury can and has happened at other schools.  If it happened in Maryland, it can also happen in Ohio.

[wesleydad]

njlincolnlion, i agree with you.  it is easy to take shots at young people who mess up.  they will have to do their pennance, we do not need to pile on with holier than thou attitudes.  having a young man in college, all you can do is hope that he will make the right decision when faced with a bad situation.  this is not an indictment of the program at salisbury, from what i have heard their coach runs a tight ship.  this is also not an indictment of how they were raised, some of the best parents have some really screwed up kids.  all this is is a poor decision made by some young people who happened to attend and play football at salisbury.  we read stories like this time and time again during the year, the old dont throw stones in glass houses idea.  i hope that the young men can get their act together and complete their education and go on to being positive, productive citizens.  as far as the football team, they seem to have stepped up to the challenge with the win at st john fisher.  as always i look forward to the game with the gulls in a couple of weeks.
