Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

nnasid, nice article about your kids.  i have always respected them when we played them knowing what they did during the day.  thanks for the info about lake erie.  i am stopping at the storage to get the wrap for the tent to block some of the wind when we get there to do a little tailgating before the game.  also bringing the keep warm/keep dry gear just in case the forecast stays the same for the weekend.

Wesley taking care of business against Lake Erie.  They are leading 20-0 after the 1st quarter....

ski...hows the weather out there?
0-0 builders vs. frostburg with 3 minutes left in first half

Frostburg had a 30 yard FG blocked while we tried a 39-yarder that hit the crossbar

[Teamski]

It's wet, windy, cold and it's getting real ugly.    The first half just ended with a 47-0 lead. Wesley had 424 yards of offense!  Wow....

The game just ended with Wesley not doing anything in the second half, 47-26.  Wesley backed waaay off with lots of reserves in action in the second half.  It could of easily been 80-0.  Hats off to Lake Erie in playing the game to the end.

  The Huntingdon loss yesterday helps Wesley a bit depending on if Wesley moved passed them in the regional rankings. There are still four teams fighting for three B bids so the Huntingdon/LaGrange,  St. Thomas/ Northwestern(Minn). games are the ones to watch.   CWRU gets the top B  bid as long as they win this week and then there is Husson
who throws another fly in the oinment
  Wesley may get a home game but only if there is a dreaded (Texas bracket) Wesley/Catholic match- up would be intersting. But with a sub bracket set up in the South ,Wesley could go to Muhlenburg   in the first round.
  None the less everyone else will be underestimating this Wesley team.
But first they have to get in...

Don't let those posters from the E8 brainwash you

Interesting..Then again the mules could go east and take away some of, (which I know you really want the game against the Mules) your fun.

Yes, I read the daddy alreay taking up the injury report, but all teams should be banged up at this point.

just got back from the trip to lake erie.  easy drive and an easy win.  cant take much out of the game since wesley was clearly superior.  i am still concerned about a lack of pass rush.  lake erie had several receivers open in the first half and dropped passes.  wesley put very little pressure on the qb.  i am not sure how things are going to line up in the playoffs, assuming that they will get in, if they play a pass oriented team.  many of the teams in the south like to run the ball, but i know that some of the teams battling for a spot like to throw it.  matchups will determine how far this team can go, but they are certainly good enough to win the south or east regions if they get in.

Until the brackets are out there all we can do is speculate. especially after last years team movements to different regions.  Muledaddy is enthusiastic to a fault He sometimes goes over the edge but there are certainly many,many more fans and parents out there who feel  the way he does about there teams, they just don't want to take the heat for showing it.

Should be making the trip this week but probably won't be hitting Dover as early. I am still stalking some dinner   I don't think it will be a much different result from this week.
Coach Hottle did coach at Wesley a few years back. As for the pass rush I wouldn't be surprised to see different wrinkles when  the playoffs start. Drops or not teams aren't throwing for hundred s of yrds against it.   

[wesleydad]

pawesley, we will be were we always are with the usually company.  planning plenty of food since it is senior day.  sandwiches and such, not sure if bells will be grilling.  you are always welcome.   as far as the d goes, they have not played any team this year that throws the ball very well.  i am thinking of the wash and jeffs and catholics who seem to throw it all game.

There is a post on the North Eastern Athletic Conference men's hoops message board that SUNY-Morrisville is leaving the SUNYAC for the NEAC in 2009-10.

I have not found a press release on the NEAC or the Morrisville websites to confirm this.

Moving to the NEAC would allow Morrisville to be more competitive as they move to full status in 2010, and help the NEAC keep their AQ's in several sports.

Whether Morrisville wanted to continue in the NJAC as a football affiliate is another question.  With the North Atlantic Conference offering a less challenging slate of teams for Morrisville, the Mustangs would be more successful.

This would open dates for Wesley, albeit likely non-conference/non-in-region dates, unless Wesley moved to the East Region.  (Salisbury and Frostburg would still be in-region games by being in Administrative Region #1.)

This is all preliminary and needs confirmation.

[Pat Coleman]

I don't think Morrisville to the NEAC changes its football affiliation. Morrisville is already an affiliate with the NJAC for football -- its full conference affiliation is with the SUNYAC.

well, the regional rankings are out and wesley barely moves.  imo they are sitting behind some teams that they a clearly better than and hopefully they get the chance to prove it come playoff time.  their schedule really hurts them in the regionals.  it looks more and more like they will play some more road games this season as it looks like they will not climb high enough.  maybe a trip to catholic in the first round or maybe even one to muhlenburg.  play a wait and see until sunday at 300.

pawesley, not sure if you know but game time is slated for 200.  hope to see you there.

teamski, stop by the tailgating area if you are in attendance.

[beenhit2hard]

Is the Wesley game really a 2:00 pm start ??

[wesleydad]

beenhit2hard, yes, even on the tickets that i got sent to me at the beginning of the season say 200.
