Mount Union is looking for a season opener in 2010 and beyond.  If Wesley is so upset that the East keeps ducking them, you're always welcome to head north instead ;D


UWW and UWEC were so desperate for games, they played each other twice this season.  Tell Larry to call Wisconsin! :D

[Oh, great!  The Stagg can be a re-run of MUC/UWW every year! ::)]

Would that be an in region game?  Wesley needs them more.  And would Mount Union go to Wesley.   The E8 games wouldn't be in region either   ;) But I can't stop my self from lighting Upstates fuse  ;D And to think we both are SU bball fans LOL!!

Mr Ypsi

There was even talk about the ACFC playing each other twice. The only problem i see with Wisc and Texas games is the expense of traveleing year in and year ou

E8 would be "in-region", if Wesley joins as an affiliate member.

MUC and WIAC are not "in-region".

Texas is South Region, too.  :)

Did anyone else read this the same way that I did?  I forget who wrote what I'm quoting because of all the quotes on the message, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't hscoach.   ;) 

Would Mt Union go to Wesley?  Are you kidding?  Check their non-conference schedule since D3 has been a website.  Currently in a home and home with St John Fischer and exchanged home and home's with:  Washington University (MO), UW-Whitewater, Allegheny and Albion (when the latter two were well thought of). 

I'm just a neutral observer here, but I also think the Wesley people can leave St John Fischer out of any "they are ducking us" conversation as they've played both Salisbury and Mount Union this season.  Their non-conference schedule is brutal. 

I understand the frustration with only being able to play 3 home games and having another game cancelled due to the Hurricane but thats totally out of anyone's control.  As mentioned on here before, travel budgets are a legitimate concern and probably will be more of an issue as our economy is in the toilet right now. 

I'm sure many people realize the frustration you guys have right now...and its understandable, but some of you guys are really beating a dead horse right now.  Here's hoping some positive things happen with the Wesley schedule in the offseason, but calling out an entire region or multiple teams in the Regional Rankings is classless.

PA Wes,

I didn't say anything about academics and I don't know anything about Wesley, so that must be coming from another place.  As I stated, there are a number of reasons its not a priority game.  Schools have a plan beyond let's just schedule a bunch of 1 and 1's randomly.  

The fact that Wesley was rebuffed in their suggestions does not mean a school is ducking them and that's a leap of logic that just sounds like a childish taunt that doesn't do your institution any favors.

Look, if anyone says go play somebody and doesn't understand your plight, that's not cool.  I can imagine that its tough with Wesley being somewhat isolated in Delaware and not having many shared experiences with nearby schools (note: this doesn't imply anything to do with academics, if that were the case why do Cornell and Hobart fight hard to maintain their 120 year rivalry in lacrosse - Cornell's IVY).  

I will note that I've seen Wesley supporters say (to paraphrase): "Well we can't join the NJAC because they have roster limits".  That's Marie Antionette-esque and doesn't help your cause.  Members of conferences often have to make sacrifices for the greater benefit of the collective experience they are and have created.  You can't dictate everything and expect anyone to listen or care, so if that's really the only hurdle then suck it up and join the NJAC or stop making claims you can't support but only insinuate.

I misread the date . And talk about bobilarsh  ;D I can get my full of BS in the E8 room. That's all everybody does over there is cry about how good they lost...

  You have to understand that I have always been a pundit of other teams playing Wesley .  Has nothing to do with the rankings really.. When they were a good team teams still wouldn't play them. And yes it's a matter of teams not playing them!!

As for the roster limit stuff. It is what it is. There is a lot of money brought into the school with those 75 extra players.

I know Texas is in the south  :D Wesley can make one trip a year but they can't go to Wisc and Texas and then travel 12 hrs by bus somewhere  else. Though if I remember correctly they played in 6 different states in one year...Even bussed to Wisconsin one year. One comment and I get in sooo much trouble 8)

Any which way, I hope that the off season does indeed come with some answers for the ACFC and Wesley.  It's getting harder each year for the Wolverines to fit into the playoff picture with the lack of regional competition.

 Upstate

  Fact: Ithaca and SJF both were approached and declined with open dates that both teams had before the schedules were set.

FACT: SJF played MUC and Salisbury this year, dont tell me they're ducking anyone...

Huntingdon lost to HSC.

Trinity lost to Centre.

UWSP beats UWEC 21-20, on a 28 yd TD pass with 0:06 left in the game!

Well, does the SLIAC get an auto-bid in 2009? 

Ski, I'm glad you're not talking the same non-sense about SJF "ducking" Wesley.  Obviously if you don't like the color of the kool-aid, you don't drink it.  You are to be commended.

AND Mount Union. 

Its good to see someone "gets it" from the Wesley side.. 


You guys will make the dance, especially after what went down today with Trinity and Huntingdon, if you win out.  Hopefully the erases the nonsense about teams being scared to schedule WC.

If the pool C teams continue to lose next week what are the chances one of the B' s steals a C bid? Case Western or any B has to be weighed against the B's first correct?

The three B's come off the table first.

I see three games affecting the B's next week.

I think that LaGrange at "8-0 in-region" is stronger than "8-1 Huntingdon" at getting a Pool B bid.

Northwestern picks up a great win, if they beat the Tommies.  St Thomas has an OT loss to St Olaf, a 3-pt loss to the Johnnies and a 2-pt loss to Augsburg.

CWRU must beat WUSTL to go 10-0.

I don't know what to make of Husson.

I hope Oxy does not get shafted again (although we all know why with the $$) and gets a home game.  Maybe the Pres-Elect can make a guest appearance since he's not too busy.
