South Region playoffs

Roocru,

You, my friend, are truly doing the rest of us lost sheep, mules, and wolverines a great service.....After all this time, as I suspected, the
numbers do support the Lambert poll ranking of Mules over Wesley.

It seems that Mules are a lot like Whitewater in many key areas.
Saturday should play very interesting, based on your chart. The Mule
d and the Wesley o  will certainly have something to determine,
according to the numbers.
As a crossed-species type, I must, and I mean must give Muletime the edge.

If you've ever seen Whitewater?, aww never mind.

About the only thing they have in common is they both have 52 man rosters for their playoff games Do I get a prize??

mule, you are really starting to sound like your name sake.  to try and compare your mules to uww is mule-i-nine.  to have fun with a quote from a presidential candidate i cant name at this moment, i have seen the mule and i have seen the warhawks, and you are no warhawks.  the stats that many posters are showing seem to favor wesley.  the bottom line is this, if wesley does not commit more than 1 turnover, this game will not be competitive.  i base this on the fact that it seems that the only reason that the mules are undefeated is due to mistakes made by other teams.  after reading several of the mules press clippings, that is the conclusion i come to.  wesley did not play well early in the year and still defeated uncw, del val, and widener, not because of mistakes by the other team, but because wesley is that good.  their only lose may have been their worse game, not yardage wise, but execution wise.  with the field position they had in that game they should have scored in the 50's and despite that they were a bad decision by the qb from tying the game and going ot, where they almost certainly would have won the game.  keep supporting your team, it is why we watch them play, but be real in your hopes.  everyone has a punchers chance, which is all i give the mules.

Wesleydad, I like your style. All we ask is a puncher's chance. Thank you.

Wsleydad,

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. I concede that there is a srong case to be made for statistical superiority by Wesley on paper, thus the higher
poll ratings/seeding in the tournament. Did the Colorado Rockies show anything on paper that could possibly explain, or even hint at, their post season run? No.
Did it happen? Yes........Let's just wait and see what happens on saturday...the
pressure is all on Wesley...there are no expectation plaaced on us SMules.... the game should be fun....

[wesleydad]

mule, thank you and the same to you and yours.  wesley will not be feeling any pressure, they have been here b4 and expected to be at least this far again.  some of the players feel they have something to prove this year, that the last 2 years were not a fluke and this years version is at least as good as the last 2.  i cant wait for saturday, i know at my age i shouldnt rush days away, but this has been fun for the last 3 years.  i have always enjoyed watching my kids play ball, but this has been way beyond anything i would have expected.  i have met some great people these last 3 years and hope to meet some more on the journey, you included.  i have plenty to be thankful for this thanksgiving, my younger son who is the army, is home from ft campbell for the holidays.  he is scheduled to be deployed to afghanistan at the end of december for 15 months so this is really a special time.  make sure you stop by, i am easy to find, i wear an army bucket hat from my son and we are always on the left side of the tailgate area as you enter, near the fenced in playground.  we have a good time before and after the game.  met the stone station guys last week and they are supposed to be in the house again this week.  pawesleyfan will also be there.  stop by and share an adult beverage if you would like, i have no problem sharing with an opponent, i believe in allowing people to drown their sorrows.

I must be just about the only guy here that's a fan of a team that hasn't either attended the school or has a kid there, hehehehe.  I live in the neighborhood, so me and my wife walk over and watch Wesley's games.  I am really looking forward to the game.  My feeling is that the Mule's run will work for about a quarter before Wesley dials it in and starts exploiting it.  This is what usually happens.  It doesn't look like the Mules have much of a passing game (the complete opposite of HSC), so we'll see what happens.   I think (and hope) that Wesley will take the game quite seriously and focus on the task a hand......

.......Oh and for anybody going to the game, I'm easily found standing up and down, yelling throughout the game in the middle of the stands....   I'm about the loudest guy out there except Uncle  Frank and the fine gentlemen heckling the defense right next to the press box......

Will the travel for NCW effect their play. Last week to Western PA and this week to Tx??
Can the NCW pull off( I really do not want to say upset)  another victory against MHB???

If the NCW offense can keep ball control and rest their defense, I think they may have a very good chance.

Re: NCW vs MHB

It's a tough stretch of road from beating  Wand J (as predicted correctly by Muledad in Post 966 on 11/12 on Centenniel Board) to takling tough in Texas.

I think it can be done , but its a longshot and I wouldn't bet  on it.

Turning to this week"s best chance for an unforgettable headline, it has to be
MULES KICK WOLVERINES.....

Against all odds, like David and Goliath, and with the sprit of Stallone in Rocky II,
the downtrodden, oppressed, and disrespected trubelievers of the world, the
MULES,  come to Dover with the same positive enthusiasm and work ethic, a deep and abiding faith, and a la desire to keep playing that will not be denied.

MULES 30   WOLVERINES 24...and that's the way it is....

The NCW defense will be tested as it has been all year. The defense
seems to get stronger as the games go on. If they come out strong
on Saturday, the defense will create for the offense. If the NCW
coaching staff has enough scouting material and film to work with is
also what will help level the playing field. GO BISHOPS!!!!!!!!

[Toby Taff]

It should be interesting.  It'll be cold (in the high 30's/low 40's @ game time) and there is an 80% chance of precipitation.  For those coming to watch, bring something waterproof  and warm.  There's not much protection from the elements in Belton.  Y'all have a safe trip and we'll see you tomorrow,

I think that there were about 5 mentions of David and Goliath last week too. And I will tell you the same thing muledaddy.. Goliath couldn't outrun the stone!!! Wesley players CAN!!!!
