[DE Wesley Fan]

You guys have a great team - much respect to you for not giving up.  Thanks for an awesome contest.

My feed went into full buffer mode with about two minutes left, so I missed all of the end game excitement.

Just got back to my moms from the game. that was an incredible game. The Cru defense played hard all game and really only had a few miscues in pass coverage, but Sweeney made them pay. I can't complain about a loss when it comes in that fashion. Great game Wesley. Now heal up and take it from Mount. Apparently the QBs had a rough day in Alliance.

That's what I'm reading, Pilotos had a rib injury.  Anyways, that was a really good game and one worthy of the Wesley/ UMHB rivalry.  Respect will always be given by us Wesley fans to the Crusaders.

Wabash stifled Mt Union pretty much the entire 2nd half.  If they don't throw that INT on the first play of the 2nd half (or if they went to their 2nd half QB earlier) it could have been a pretty interesting game.

Tough call for Wabash coach Raeburn.  Burke was SO much the hero of the amazing comeback against NCC that LG posters were for erecting statues for him!  But he just didn't have it today (apparently, alas UMU has no video .

Both defenses were even more 'lights out' than I expected - I missed the spread by only one, but I had UMU 28-17, not 20-8.

(Latest word on the OAC board is that Piloto took a helmet to the hip [as opposed to rib injury], and is probable for next week - but that is a poster, not a team doctor!)

Good Game Wesley!  You poured it on and took advantage of our mistakes.  Gee, both Wesley's offense and defense looked like really grown men compared to some of UMHB's!

It looked like that on the video.

Discouraging defeat. I know we can do better, but the guys played hard to the end and that is all you can ask for! Turn the page and keep getting better, Cru! I know y'all can do it!

LB, way to come back and lead the charge!
Defense, y'all played great and really hung tough in the second half to keep us in it.

It hurts to say see ya next year, but...

Kudos to UMHB from a McMurry fan.  I watched some of the game on the streaming video and it looked like it was all over at halftime.  Some teams would have folded at that point, but you guys stormed back and nearly pulled it off.  It was an impressive performance, even though it fell short at the end.

Congratulations to the Crusaders on another excellent season.  Tough loss today, but another impressive season for the Cru!

[bcal]

Cru friends, Sorry things did not go your way today.  There will be other, and better, days.  From my McMurry War Hawk heart, congratulations on a fine season.  No greater respect is earned than in the arena of a contest  when two teams give their best.  Further down the line, perhaps we will tee it up again in a game that means something.

Has become a fun little rivalry and if the local newspaper was right earlier in the year they reported we may play you guys in the regular season next year.

Wesley was very good and hope you do well against Mount.  I was impressed by how the Cru battled back in the 2nd half.  We had our chances, just fell short.
