South Region playoffs

[Ralph Turner]

haha, I'd be glad to have to make a trip from Ohio to Texas, but one game at a time for CMU.  The way I see it, CMU will have to jump all over Wesley like Dickinson did, but maintaint a lead.  That will be much tougher now that Wesley will be ready for a team they're supposed to beat.

I wonder if Dickinson's early lead knocked the "#1 seed giddiness" out of Wesley, and they now have their collective game faces on.

I would have it more like:

1 - St. John Fisher at Springfield
2 - Rowan at Wilkes
3 - North Central at Capital
4 - UW-La Crosse at UW-Whitewater
5 - St. John's at Whitworth
6 - Washington & Jefferson at Mary Hardin-Baylor
7 - Carnegie Mellon at Wesley
8 - Wheaton at Mount Union

In my mind there are only 2 games that on paper could go either way. That being said, upsets happen and we are now into the rounds that they start. Remember a Wesley team that went into Texas and took down UMHB last year? It can happen and usually does.

I'd like to see CMU surprise Wesley, a little second round "one good turn..." payback.  + the possibility of a 3rd UMHB home game.

Don't you think it would be a better turn if you guys came to Dover for that payback.  I would think the players would prefer to deliver it themselves.

They probably would, but I have a final on the 2nd of December, I can't make it to Dover, I could however make it to Belton.   My intentions are purely selfish.

  Dickinson had 220+ yrds in the first 16 mins of the game. After they fumbled inside the 15 they had a tackle screen td called back for holding which was so obvious that the player called for the infraction tried to hide under the turf.. Wesley held Dickinson to less than 60 total yrds.  I would say that woke up. Robinson was running guys down all over the field. and to boot he is playing some wide out!!!
  CMU might have to score 40 this week to stay close.

You ought to give CMU a little credit.  The team did just shut out a playoff caliber offense and is third in the nation in scoring defense.  Not saying we'll win, but I wouldn't expect Wesley to go out there and put up points like they did against the rest of the competition.  Should be a hard fought game and if CMU can get the running game going, I think we've got a real shot.

[PA_wesleyfan]

 I didn't say CMU couldn't or wouldn't keep it close. The fact is that Wesley scores a lot of points week after week. And if CMU wants to stay with them they either have to score with Wesley or run off a lot of time on the clock. Wesley can score from anywhere on the field. They don't use a lot of time to do it.

CMURyan, IMHO, the creditable performance over/under for CMU vs. Wesley is 2 TD's.

I hope they can defeat Wesley because that would mean a playoff game in Belton if the CRU can take care of business.

Coach Lackner is my Coach of the Year, and defeating Wesley would probably lock that in for him!

PA...please tell me that I am reading something wrong....Bryan Robinson playing wideout???

GULP

[PA_wesleyfan]

 HAHA I believe that is what position you would call it... I know that they threw a pass to him during the Morrisville game. incomplete. Can you imagine him Blocking you!!!

[dedragon]

I saw him at practice this afternoon returning kick offs during specialty.  Man...what an athlete.

Hey Mr Cummings,

Anybody calling the game at Wilkes? Make sure Wesley takes care of business this week and the BC'ers will be "in the house" with you for the regional final. 

[Llamaguy]

We need to shorten this region up! In an effort to see a game this week I have to drive 4hrs to the Wilkes/Rowan game. Yes I could go to Wesley, but am planning on making that trip next Saturday unless CMU knocks them off.

I'm making an attempt to see as many D3 teams in person during the playoffs so I don't get called out for voting on a team I haven't seen in person. Ha,ha. Just kidding. I'm really just enjoying as much football as I can before the dreaded "offseason" begins.
