South Region playoffs

[Ralph Turner]

As a UMHB fan, the only team I will be rooting for is UMHB as we will have our hands full with HSU.

One thing though, I would not put too much stock in how well we did againnst Southern Oregon, since we were down to our 5th and 6th running backs. The starter that game was our back up linebacker and the back  up was a freshman who had only played in one game before that.

Man I wish there was this much to read during the regular season.

Let HPU and ETBU start challenging for the crown, as we have seen in recent seasons, and the chat will go thru the roof!

... Should be a good one, have to watch it online this week, but will be there in spirit!

Can you share the link for the game? My family up in Pennsylvania would love to see the game.

Thanks.

They should be able to go through d3football.com to get to it, under the scores/schedule page or try this direct link:

Aahhh....that's just it.  The playoffs bring out the best and worst in people.  It is the ultimate reality show where one bad episode and you are gone.  Trash talking starts here and judging by the posts, it's not just us Wesley guys spouting gas.

Mates,

I am not really good with numbers.However, my computer, at National Sports rankings, tells me that the mules beat Wesly, by an average of 3 pts, 16 out of 25  to show themselves, and the world, that dreams can come true.......
On paper, Wesley has a clear edge.The key to this game is not on paper;its in the heart.Sheer speed and
talent favor Wesley, but the will to win can not be measured easily..If the Mules come to win, they will win.
If they can win the turnover war, and play defense like crazy, they will not be denied. Otherwise, Wolverines pull a carbon copy of last year's disheartening defeat at The Ditch. Make Allentown proud.
On DeLuca,on Santagato,on Nolan, on Cresta, on Moates, on Rathbun, on Mazzola, on Doyle,on Ahouse,make it happen...Go Mules

Muledaddy, if Wesley clearly wins on paper how do the Mules win according to a computer ranking system? I agree the Mules have the tools to win the game, but would not think it would show up on a computer system if they are outmatched on paper.

I don't know the answer...the computer just spits it out after you id the teams and who is home

saintsfan, most would agree that the numbers were just fine last year.  the % completion is not high because of the pass plays called, usually in the 10 - 20 range even on short yardage plays.

why the change?  since i am pretty close to the situation, it was my son who was the QB last year, there has never been a really clear explanation as to the change.  explanations were given, most of which make no sense, something about practice completions and the like.

personally, i think there was a change in plans by the o coordinator knowing that they would be good this year, looking ahead to the next couple of years and preparing for the lose of so many players on offense.  as you can see by the % and yardage total this year, most of the passes have been a much shorter variety, most between 0 - 5 yards with the hope of a receiver breaking a play. 

wesley's record is exactly what it would have been with either player at QB this year.  the schedule was not difficult compared to last years.  the frustrating part of it is that a senior was replaced by a sophomore, and said senior did everything that was asked of him for the team, playing and leading the conference in receptions 2 years ago when they were struggling to find receivers.  playing QB last year for a team that went to the region finals only losing to a umhb team that gave UWW all it wanted the following week.  life takes funny turns and sometimes they dont make sense, but you move on and do what you can for the team.

As with BCS rankings, there is more than one rating service. Born Power ratings has Wesley as a 6pt favorite in Saturday's game.

It looks like Josh Bowerman, Gray Fox and I will be able to come down for the UMHB-HSU game.

We would like to meet and "re-meet" as many fans as possible.

Per chance shall there be a tailgating opportunity for the visitors on Saturday?

A "Lime-Stone Station" perhaps? 

Y'all go the home game!  Lots of fans are rolling in... It's a tradition that ought to be continued...
