Finally got on the road. Looking forward to a great game tomorrow. Safe travels to everyone, and want to have a very happy ride home tomorrow night!

[Hawks88]

Good luck, Wolverines. Take 'em down.

Wesley wins, wesley wins.  Headline for tomorrow.  I can not wait to make the drive out to alliance in the early am to hang with my Mount friends.  My dad is making the trip which will make it special no matter what happens in the game.  Still, Wesley wins is what I think.  See you all tomorrow.  If you are in Alliance, come to Don Ponchos for breakfast.  Bout 945 or so, you will enjoy the food and the chatter.

Wesley Dad, glad your dad can make the trip and chaperon you One of my favorite things about sports is how it brings families together, be they biological or team. Part of what makes it sad when a senior class leaves is we don't see their families at games again, or at least not often. But at least we're going to have next week together and go out with a bang!

Looks like it's been a long day for Wesley fans - 49-0 and not even at the half ... ouch!

[DE Wesley Fan]

Worst half of football - EVER

[umhb2001]

WOW. Wesley getting absolutely CRUSHED! Did not expect this!

[HScoach]

Wow.  That's what Mount looks like when they play perfect.    Never saw this coming.   Was expecting a really close game.

[Bill McCabe]

What happened? 

[CNU85]

A triple monkey stomp. Never saw this coming. Was even thinking Wesley would win. Wow!

[WarhawkDad]

Wow is right.  I think everyone was expecting a close game.  Nice job by Mount to capitalize on turnovers.

Observations from yesterday.  First, I must be an idiot.  I actually thought that Wesley would develop and execute a game plan that would give them a chance to win the game.  I could not have been further from the truth.  That was the worst defensive game I have seen and I have seen some really bad teams play Wesley.  I am not sure what was supposed to happen, but on the field the secondary was absolutely lost.  They were out of position and failed to make any plays when they had a chance.  The linebackers were invisible.  Other than the Int, they had no impact on the game.  The only unit that I will say looked like they were doing what was asked was the D line, although they allowed Burke to run almost at will, but that may have been linebacker responsibility.  They got no help with pressure since Wesley seldom blitzed so they were 4 on 5 or 6 the entire game.  Petrose was double teamed the entire game but kept playing hard and recorded at least 1 sack, I have not looked at the stats.  The coaches were in constant conversations with each other or players as to what was supposed to be happening versus what actually happened.  Mount could have scored 100 if they had left the starters in the game.  The Mount receivers were allowed free run off the line of scrimmage and Burke caught the snap and threw a slant to someone, could have been anyone as they were all running free in the secondary.  The safeties were chasing all day.  On the second TD, the safety was 8 yards deep in the end zone as the receiver caught the ball directly in front of him 6 yards deep.  If the linebackers were being used for pass coverage it did not work.  They might as well have not been on the field.  Mount's O line, from talking to my Mount friends, played it's best game of the year, peaking at the right time.  Wesley obviously peaked earlier in the year.  Poor planning and poor execution leads to an embarrassing result.  As far as the offense, the O line had no chance.  Again, I am not sure what the plan was for blocking, but it did not work.  On as many plays as not, Callahan no sooner caught the snap and then had to run for his life.  Mount moved people around and the O line was baffled as to who should block whom.  They also blitzed often.  I am not sure how many sacks there were, but they could have been doubled had Callahan not been able to avoid them on so many other plays.  The 4 ints are not good, but I believe 2 of them went off Wesley receivers hands and then were intercepted.  The pick 6 was really bad.  As Wesley was moving players around based on something they saw, the Mount defense did not move.  #5 who had just been beaten on 3 straight passes by Kodousso was covering him again.  He obviously knew he had safety help in the end zone since he immediately jumped the route, he had not done that all day, and off to the races.  If Mount leaves the starters in this game is likely a shut out.  I would have never thought that a team would be able to execute a game plan that well to shut out this Wesley offense, well Mount did.  In the end, Wesley was OUT everything, played, coached, etc.  An ending like this leaves a bitter taste on what was a very good season.

Every year we keep thinking that this is going to be the team that gets it done, but it is starting to look like they may never be able too.  Wesley is a top 5 or 6 team and they are not remotely close to beating Mount.  I know what the score was last year, but it was 31 - 0 at the end of 1.  Wesley has seldom been competitive in a semi final game and most of the time it looks like they are lost as far as to what the other team is doing on both sides of the ball.  If the plan is poor there is not much the players will be able to do to save it against a top team, Mount or UWW.  Next year will bring another chance and being in a league will at least give them a chance to stay sharp the entire year, this year's second half schedule did not help them as the opponents were not good.  I am not going to jump off any bridge nor burn my Wesley jersey in disgust and I will be here again next year chirping about how good the next Wesley team is and that they have a chance to win it all.

Nice chatting with Ski, Waterboy, Saintsfan, Skunkssidekick, Raiderguy, Theaprof,and Pat Coleman before and during the game.  Also, glad my dad made the trip with me, at least I did not have to endure the 6 hour ride back home in my own misery, he got to share it with me.
