cwru70, in all seriousness, the new stadium and surrounding dorms/living quarters were very impressive on our visit last year...what a difference 35 years makes  ...reminder to any visiting fan, the aluminum bleachers can get a might warm...i promise that i won't "Wait that long" to return...

A curious preview for the Spartans.  McDowell and Glicoes who played key roles last year and are on the 2006 roster (which has been updated a couple of times since posted) aren't mentioned in the position by position.  Several players are mentioned at positions different from what's on the roster.  Injuries seem to continue to plague even off-season with Tichar reported lost and Calderone's conditioning hampered.  The non-return of Clint Whittington at OT (started all 10 games) is papered over.  LB is reported a as the "deepest" position, but only 3 are mentioned.

with such a thin roster in the key positions, CWRU can only hope that the injuries are "Precious and few"...somebody help me before i hurt myself

My Google search earlier missed that DB Bobby Bott from Midview was 1st team All Dist in DII.

Anybody have any news/updates/previews for University of Chicago?  Chicago plays us @ Elmhurst and they usually have a pretty good fight with EC.  I am happy to see both schools renew the contract for another 4 years.

Jaybird,  Nothing more than in Reply #131

cwru70--Thanks,  I too have been trying to get information and an idea of UofC.  The "youth" is what struck me about Chicago last year.  A very good bunch of young pups that need to develop.  I expect a good battle this Fall.

You might try to e-mail uofcballer (see reply123), but he hasn't checked in here since March.

Check out this article about a book that CWRU QB Angelo Mirando has put together.  I have known Angelo for years and this ambition, which serves him well on the football field, does not surprise me at all.

Defense clearly is the strength of this team, yet there is not one game photo of a returning defensive player in the media guide?

Well, at least this will be more than just a CWRU discussion.  I'm no guru of DIII College ball whatsoever, but at least I will have some different input.  The only question I have at this point is why the UAA technically has 8 schools??  Are CMU, Chicago, Washington, and CWRU the only ones with football??

By the way, CMU looks good.  Only real weakness may be the D-Line.  Losses from graduation.

Welcome!!!

Rochester also plays football, but 2 years ago decided it made more sense to compete in an Upstate NY conference.  Less travel.

If I'm not mistake of the rest only NYU has had football in recent memory, and even that was many years ago.

Give us a report on CMU's opener if you can.

Emory never has had intercollegiate football. Brandeis had it until 1959 (the late great [Pro Football HOFer] Benny Friedman was their last coach). Johns Hopkins at one time was a member of the UAA and continues to have it.

You beat me to my correction.  I did discover Brandeis' team when I checked sources, not my memory.  Hopkins was infact a charter member.  I shold note that Rochester decision, like CWRU's decision to leave the NCAC, was precipitatead by their other conference's expansion precluding dual scheduling.
