Happy birthday, seventies!!  When do we start calling you "eighties"??

[Raider 68]

It is really fun to see that there is an excitement in the air on the OAC board about a football game.  Wesley has a very good D as evidenced by the stats.  They play hard and can get after the QB with thier linemen.  The LB's a very quick and pretty big as are the safeties.  On offense the Line is solid and pretty big.  The running backs are very quick, yet smallish in size.  The TE is as good as anyone and they have a big time receiver, at least when it comes to catching TD's, he isnt much for going and getting it if he has to.  Can they win, of course they can.  They will have to play at their best which they have been in the playoffs, last weeks game not incluced due to the weather conditions.  The QB may be the difference in that he will run the ball and can make teams pay if they sell out on the rush, plus there are designed runs for him.  I personally think they run him too much, but that is my opinion.  He throws the ball OK, short passes better than long.  Special teams kickoff and punt coverage is very good, return game is OK, no beavers any more.  The place kicker has struggled this year and if the game is close, I am not sure if they try to kick a 35+ yard field goal if needed.  My concern will be coaching, can they do what is necessary to have the team prepared.  Hope so, just remember the 2 UWWW games and hope they dont lay an egg again.

wesleydad,

You hit on a key point in your last sentence. There is not coach in all
of college football that prepares his team and makes quick game adjustments than Coach Kehres. A Mount opponent can bring equal talent to the game, but Mount has that coaching intangible that is rarely matched.
The record speaks for itself.

Special teams kickoff and punt coverage is very good, return game is OK, .

I just got off NCAA Stats, and they tend to read that special teams are a problem area for Wesley. Which is ok because most of us haven't been real happy with a lot of Mount's special teams play.

S/B in my black #99 playoff jersey. After the last three weeks, I think most of us Raider  fans are happy to have a "game" this week.

Put up a podcast of today's Press Conference involving Mount Union Head Coach Larry Kehres on our WDEL website.  I believe you can download and/or listen to it from WDEL's podcast page or use this direct link to the file...

http://www.wdel.com/features/kehresmuc.mp3 (It's raw audio)

The video of my interview with Mike Drass will be up on the WDEL and Wesley websites once I get that chopped up.

I'm also interested in finding a good local place to eat while we're out there.  We've been doing the grand barbeque tour while in GA and SC for games this year, but I have to admit I don't know what the big Ohio thing is.

Check your PM's.

Not a place to eat, but I'd recommend picking up some Great Lakes Brewing Co. beers if you are a beer drinker.  I don't think they've expanded their distribution to DE yet.

Happy birthday 70's!  I feel much better now that you are once again older than I am. 

Once again proving: The more you complain, the longer God makes you live. Anyway I've got a travel trailer to get ready to go to Virgina today.

[skunks_sidekick]

Travel trailer?  Do you mean camper, or is this something you haul on the back of the Pinto that is usually used to haul stuff, and you are telling Kevin it's really "deluxe accomodations"?   

Two days until "Wing Summit 2009".  Many D-III football, and talent observing issues will be discussed ad nauseum. 

Saintsfan?  Does the ball and chain know you are heading this way?  Did you get a weekend hall pass?
