Mount did what they supposed to do, beat the teams on their schedule. The fact is their schedule this year is weak. That's not a knock on how good Mount is its just the facts. This week we will see how good they are when they play their 1st top ten opponent.

 Ive been wondering how we will stack up against Mount all week because of who they are and this is probably the best team we will have faced all year. But on the flip side of that Mount will be seeing the best team by far all year this weekend. Mounts schedule during the season (no teams in top 25)  and the playoffs has been much easier. I guess what Im saying is who have they played this year besides Wabash and Centre? And lets face it those 2 are not world beaters. So bring on another purple team who thinks they are better than us.

  Time to take another purple team down. Is Wesley going to finally get to the Stagg Bowl? I believe we have the Gamechanger in McSweeny. Im from NEO and still dont know what a Purple Raider is.

  Not happy about losing all my fingernails in the second half. Wesley had 2 good opportunitys to put this game away in the 3rd Quarter but failed to. I watched the game at AI Dupont Hospital in Wilmington Delaware with my sister in-law Cindy Knapp. The nurses threatened to sedate me if I didnt hold it together.
   South Bracket (the toughest all around bracket) in 3 games: 49-71 848yds 13tds 2ints Passing.  67att  348yds 2tds Rushing.   Shane McSweeny MVP

Get Better BK

  Cant wait for kickoff. I think this is going to be a tough game for Wesley because I dont know how good is UMHB. Reason being because of the schedule they played. They have only played 2 top 20 teams Redlands and McMurry and none in the top ten. Where as Wesley has played 3 which all will probably end up in the top 10 rankings at seasons end. The stength of schedule speaks for its self between these two teams. UMHB will see there first top 10 team today lets see how they stack up.

Ok, I was looking at UMHB Games this year and box scores and came to one conclusion. Make Bailey beat us in the air. Stack 8 or 9 in the box, man up and dare them to throw the ball. Although I'm just an idiot and shouldn't give advise to coach Drass considering Baileys numbers last year against Wesley looked like this 8 for 23, 97yds, 1 int. 20 carries for -13. I think thats a pretty good defensive scheme. I would probably stay with that.
  The most Bailey's thrown for is 281 yds on 30 attempts  1td, 3ints against UW La-crosse. If he lets the ball go that many times against us there will be 2 to 4 ints I figure. I know he's good but they said that last year and they haven't seen anyone like Wesley since last year. I know UMHB hasn't had to throw the ball that much this year because there running game has been so good and that's what will end them in the playoffs, because at some point you will have to put the ball in the air against a good defense because the run isn't working as it did against Sul Ross State. That will be Wesley's advantage because defenses cant fill the box unless they want to pay. Ask Hobart what happened when they blitzed everyone.
  I know anyone can win at this point and UMHB is very good. Just want to stir the pot a little.

PS: Not worried about the rain and wind. Played Salisbury in some 40 degree sideways rain for a half. No advantage either way.

 Was looking at ETBU against Wesley and UMHB and saw Sed Harris rushed for 290 yds and threw for 117 1 TD against UMHB. WOW!! Against Wesley Harris rushed for 61 yds and threw for 259 1 TD and 4 INTs.

  Just got back to Ohio and looks like a lot got covered. I was doing the video on the field during the game and the Wesley coachs who review my video are not going to like the job I did because I was watching the game most of the time and not shooting very good video. Hopefully I get asked to do video again.
  Linfield punched us right in the mouth the whole 1st half and I have to say that I had my doubts about beating Linfield. Obviously Wesley showed why its been one of the top 3 Programs in the last 5 or 6 years in D3. I dont think if we lost this game it should have changed that but I think a lot of people around D3 were doubting if Wesley was still on that level. They still have not been able to get to the level with the you know who's. Hopefully this year is they break thru.
Gotta give props to the O-line for the job the did because they dont get talked about very often. I thought McSweeney was pretty good before the playoffs this year. Well, he's brought it to another level against good teams and is showing that he is one of the top players in D3.
  Let the Purple People eating continue!

  Had a perfect day Saturday. Saw my nephew Ben Knapp at 8am in the hospital. He smiled. He laughed. He cried and he smiled again. Went and saw the best Wesley Football game Ive ever seen. Unbelievable.

Game Changer!!!!

  Saw the predictions and was a little surprised 2 people went with Linfield but I respectfully disagree. I think Wesley is a 7 point favorite at home and add Linfields travel and Wesleys is a 14 point favorite. Its going to be a lot of fun. Let the purple people eating begin.

Thanks for putting Linfield in red. I dont know what that means but its a nice effect. I also dont why your spewing that info but thanks for letting us know that history. I get it, you think your teams gonna win. Congrats for drinking the purple coolaid. Im drinking the blue. Im glad the kids will handle this on the field because it dont matter what I think or you think anyway. Now Im going to put a bunch of spaces between sentences for affect.


Go Wolverines


Go Wesley


Go Linfield


Go Catdome.... Is that like Kingdome? Or do you have like big fieldhouse?



Now the color and caps

  I watched the Linfield Cal Lu game while bitting my nail listening to the end of Wesley/Hobart game and did notice the Cal Qb had alot of open lanes to run in when passing but he looked slow and couldnt turn the corner on a few carries I saw. If Linfield runs the same D McSweeny will rip off bigger chunks of yards than the Cal Qb did. I have a feeling they will adjust to our strength and dial up a few more blitzs and possible put a spy on McSweeney. Also I think Koudossou needs to be on the field until he asks to be off. I heard he was in a rotation. This kid is awesome and needs more touches (stating the obvious).
  Im real excited about next weekend and will be in attendance, coming from Ohio.

Rabid biased Wesley Fan.
