HAHAHA Whammmmmmyyyyyyy. Great Movie.

Congrats to Bobby Swallow for being a first team AFCA All American. That has got to put him at the top of the W&J Qb's as i do not think Dawson or Edwards were ever first team All Americans. Also Congrats to Mike Czerwein from Waynesburg for also being on the team.

UMHB will pound NCWC in my opinion and pound the next opponent those boys are big and fast. NCWC is fast but very small especially up front. Their 3 man front will not work against the CRU as they will line up and physically beat them with the option game all day. Ill put my early score on the game at 45 - 14 UMHB.

I questioned the call when i first witnessed it but realized he went for the win and you have got to do that. To many coaches are conservative in todays game so i respect that. Everyone has an opinion and i am throwing mine out there.  Like everyone has said its would of could have should have. You make it your a hero if you dont your a dog. Thats the profession and it comes with the territory. W&J has had some good success recently and is a winning program and will always continue to be. Whether or not they ever get to Salem is a question for all but at least they get that chance every year. Mad Mike has been head coach for 5 years now and has a very good winning percentage. Lucky was around a long time before he got to the two stagg bowls and won plenty of games. As much as Sirianni loved to yell at me i respect the man and he can coach and will continue to have success.

Dirty the sneak and overtime win will be something we will never forget and you will probably never forget giving Ernst the sponge bath hahaha i am sorry

Wodday i am not questioning your respect of Sirianni in this as i know you have respect for him no matter what went on. Losses sting when your team loses for you it stung more as your bro was on the team. Also i am possibly thinking of making a trip to the Boro for the Vincent Mclane game i will be in touch.

Pat i like the confidence in their ability to win this weekend, as it is at least some confidence in W&J. I think NCWC is by far the best 8 seed in the entire bracket. They gave Wesley and Widner all they could handle. Wesley is also a team that has pounded UMHB the last two years. W&J is going to be in for a battle. I am going to throw my prediction out there tonight.

W&J 42 NCWC 31

Swallow and the Dawgs put points up all day while the D stops NC enough to host UMHB next weekend. Todd Young better hit the bench press as there will be plenty of chest bumping this weekend. Big Ern myself and couple of my friends will be down lets light it up. Also has anyone beat the world record walkie talkie toss at Cameron stadium yet or does Chris Mosely still hold the record. Thats all till after the game.

Roll Prez Roll

Also in a earlier post i commented on the defense being terrible and been so for a while. That may have been my frustration with them giving up points to Bethany and was in no way an attack on the current players. A few of the current players that are seniors on defense are friends of mine. At the same time over the years the defense has given up some points especially in the playoffs. We have had some great defensive players the past few years like EC, Pilato, Field, Cherish, and now Gitlitz but still give up points and the O has always been able to outscore the opponent and pull out a few wins. I hope lil Ern and Gitlitz get after Townsend this week end and put the smack down so Swallow and the Dawgs can put some points on the board

Here is another question if The burg had a QB would Heller have 2000 yards im going with a big negative. I also think if Waynesburg wins that game they are both in the playoffs. South Good luck in the hurdles for your boy im a big track guy myself back in the day but not the hurdles. Shot putting was my thing.

The prez are going to have a shoot out this wkend with NCWC. They give up close to 300 yards but average close to 400 on offense. The QB looks like a Vince Young clone 6-5 and lanky and will cause trouble. Should be a good game that i will be attending based on the weather. Big Ern we need to get it done ill be in touch. 

South good points but i think it is hard to think even with those guys out they still would have outdone the 600 yards they put up. Maybe but good building block for the Bison. Prez defense is terrible and has been for a long time. I cannot give a reason as i think Klein is a very good D cord he just may not have the players to work with. The O will always pull the best players and the D may get the left over recruits. I look for the Prez to rebound as its play off time and its a whole new world. I think they win the first round in a shootout as NC Weslyan looks like a better version of Bethany with a Mobile QB who can throw. Looks like a second round match up with UMHB again that does not bode well. How does UMHB get dropped to a 4 seed when there only loss albeit a blow out was to the D3 runner ups from the last two years. You could argue that they should be the #1 seed.

UMHB in 2004 was ridiculus they were huge and fast even faster than W&J. probably the best running team in d3 history as they had 3 kids over 1000 rushing. W&J gets beat by Texas teams because first of all Texas has the best high school football in the country and they can pull talent from that huge pool. Also from what i witnessed they were bigger and faster than W&J. In the 1990's W&J could compete with that as they were just as big and strong as the Texas teams and thats why Burghboy and his boys were in the Stagg Bowl a few times. W&J now in comparison is a very good team with good speed but very small up front. Last years W&J team almost came out of texas with a win but ended up with a close loss to UMHB. The only thing that concerns me about the Prez is that Waynesburg game where they gave up 289 to one back. UMHB has two backs on the same level as Heller and that poses some concerns. W&J will have other games to worry about as i think that the South region is the most competitive region filled with lots of speed.

Saints if you and Big Ern get together you are going to postpone the hangover to Sunday Morn as i can attest he can get it done. I recommend some of Kentucky's finest James Beam to cure your week it always works for me.

Some predictions for the coming week.



Saint Vincent at Grove City

GCC rolls in this one. Ian Tobin has 10 receptions for 52 yards and two td's. Ian is a friend of mine and he is a wingback and they release him in the flats a lot and he gets a lot of check downs.  Didinato runs for two and throws for 3.

GCC 42 SVC 7

Carnegie Mellon at Bethany

Looks like everyone is picking the Bison this week. I disagree and am not totally sold on the Bison being that respectable yet. CMU is coming off an upset win over Wash U and the Sivek train runs through the Bison. Remember this was a playoff team last year who is having a tough time this year.

CMU 27 Bethany 10

Thiel at Westminster

This game will not be exciting at all. Defense rains supreme in this one and the first offense to make a play wins. I like Westminsters chances of making a play as they have some playmakers and an actual QB not a WR playing QB. Rosatelli scores two one on a punt return. Franz throws for for two. 

Westminster 21 Thiel 13

Waynesburg at Geneva

I was not sold on the burg but they proved me worng. I look for them to handle Geneva. Heller will run for 200 on 36 carries and three td's.

Waynesburg 27 Geneva 17

Wash. & Jeff. at Thomas More

TMC one game playoff is a laugher. SAINTSFAN everyone plays like its the playoffs against W&J . Too young of a team to play with the prez. I look for Prez to play alot better as they did not play there best against the Yellow jackets.  Swallow throws for 4 td's and 300 yards. Jones and Mathews combine for 180 and two Td's.


W&J 42 TMC 20

Good luck to all

Go W&J

Big Ern and Saints enjoy that cold one at the tailgate. Ern i will see you next sat for sure i am pretty sure i will be at the Bethany game.

Looks like W&J is the number one team in the New south region poll after the UMHB loss. If they win out a number one seed looks like a very good possibility. From the sounds of it Waynesburg might be on the outside looking in from what i am reading on the playoff post. Waynesburg plays a very tough Geneva team this wk and might be in store for a let down after the gut wrenching defeat to the prez.

CC while my email states the same starting letter and last name i can assure you i have never thrown a pass @ W&J. Chris Edwards happens to be a ex W&J QB but Wes is not Chris Edwards. I have caught passes from him but it was before the game and even warmups. He has the best arm in W&J history.

I agree that Waynesburg needs a QB but they have not had one since Dumm. I doubt recruiting wise they are going to bring in a good one with the offense that they RUN. No good High school QB is going to want to head to the burg and throw the ball 15 times when they can go up the road and throw it 40 times. I also think that if W&J scores the three times they turned the ball over either on downs or fumbles in the red zone the outcome is not as close. Woulda coulda shoulda great game that could have gone either way but went in favor of the Prez.

W&J 22 Waynesburg 21

Heller has 189 in the first half but the prez rebound and dominate the second half. Should have won by three td's but did not capitalize in the red zone turning the ball over on downs 3 times. Good hard victory that will help the prez in the long run. Scary but Heller has three more years after this he is very good. Saints that is very shocking but your team is young they will learn.

i think its time for some predictions.

TMC @ Bethany

I look for Tommy Moe to roll in this one as pay back is a (you fill in the rest)
Collier runs wild for 198 and three Td's. Bethany maybe hangs tough in a couple years.

TMC 38 Bethany 7

Frostburg @ Westminster

Westminster is now officially the worst team in the PAC. They have no talent on either side of the ball. I know alumni are not thrilled with a team that used to be a NAIA national title contender goes to a bottom of the barrel D3 team. Frostburg wins this one.

Frostburg 28 Westminster 10

Saint Vincent @ Geneva

Geneva rolls in this one as Bondi runs and throws for 5 td's. This one is over about halftime. Saint Vincent's time is coming as Colbert used to put some offensive gameplans on us at W&J in the playoffs while he was at Bridgewater.

Saint Vincent 7 Geneva 45

Thank god for this game otherwise this might one of the worst slates of games in the history of the PAC.

Super Bowl of the PAC. 7-0 vs. 7-0

#8 W&J @ #21 Waynesburg

I am not impressed with Waynesburg and that has nothing to do with my bias towards W&J. The prez step up for big games and the Heller wall is not going to intimidate them at all. I look for Gitlitz to have 22 tackles 9 solo and a FF. Offensively the burg can blitz all day long out of the 3-4 and they will get burned as Swallow is not affected by pressue like Chris Edwards could be at times. Also Sirianni has concocted a nice screen game that will neautralize the blitz. Todd Young chest bumps with the lineman will be plenty. Swallow has 3 td's and runs for one supermanning over the goaline.

W&J 31 Waynesbug 13

Big Ern i do not think i will be at the game but i have not made up my mind yet. I have a game friday and films usually follow in the morn. Get at me.
