Awesome game by the D!!!

Give WUStL credit for containing the passing game, but like with Rochester, CWRU proved able to win on the ground as well!!

If the gurus are right, Spartans will host Franklin (would be a common opponent with Trine), then Trine/Aurora winner (home with Aurora or at Trine).

What an ironic finish to the NCAC-UAA schedule!

This year's team is more versitile than last year's.  Looking at the common opponents I don't see a lot of difference.  Last year they jump ahead.  I don't see that happening this year.

At least the weather forecast has Saturday the best day of the week.

Hope someone with the university recorded the Wabash Depauw game to see how DePauw got the win.  Just in case that film isn't exchanged.

As much as the Spartans want revenge against Wabash I'm surprised the NCAA dropped them as far as they did.  Yes, they went to a #6 region seed but they were #2 in the Nation.  Go figure.

Forecast looks like cloudy, chance of snow and 41 which in Cleveland translates to wind, rain, hail, frezzing rain, snowand clouds with the sun peaking thru at 4:30...  We're used to it down in the Circle.

I actually thought we'd be up against Trine or Otterbein but you have to play them all so lets get going!

Wabash has as devoted and loyal following as anyone.  Last year several 'enthusiastic' younger supporters gave some Spartan parents more than they were expecting to experience at a DIII playoff game.

Those events took away from a very exciting game on the field.

Let's hope those idiots stay home and true, passionate football fans make the trip this time.

Go Case !!   Go Spartans!!!   Go Blue!!!!

Just wanted to wish our neighbors good luck from a guy who "grew up" on Adelbert as my father was an administrator at University Hospitals. The more I look at the Mount Union matchup, the better your game looks as at least an even matchup. I'm trapped at home post-surgery and so I ran a "Tale of the Tape" comparing this years statistics for both schools and you come out quite close. CRWU's weak point would appear to be rush defense against a fairly strong Wabash rushing game. Wabash's weak link looks to be pass defense vs a very effiecent Case Western passing game.

Here's hoping that last year's experience helps even the playing field this year. And who knows, I may the be the only guy there in a purple Mount Union jacket. After all,  the only question in my mind about the Mount game is how many yards does Nate Kmic run for and how many places up the All-time All-Division rushing list can he move.

STO will play the game Sat 4pm Mon 9 pm

Just remember that Wabash is the underdog this year. While Massey Strength ratings ranks Case 53rd, he has Wabash at 68th. Both schools have played a pretty equal schedule with Bash dropping their only game against a tougher school (ranked 38th), which should give Spartan fans reason to smile.

While statistical ranks have a lot of flaws, Massey bascially applies the BCS formula to DIII and while it does mean much during the season, it's pretty good at the end of the year.

I S/B there tomorrow if I go anywhere. Not good weather for a guy with a fractured hip. I'll be the guy in the black two piece Mount Union sweatsuit over thirty layers of clothes. If it's really cold I'll have my #99 black Mount Union playoff jersey on. Oh yeah I'll have a metal cane. (The coach in me really hates that cane and it's part of the reason I don't want to good to Alliance) I don't mind being 60, I just don't like being old.

At 22 degrees and not being on my feet much the last six weeks I may have to settle for the replay

Are you thinking of the Veale Center which is connected to a parking garage?  Indoor track meets are held there (on the south side of campus).  The football field (on north side) also has a garage connected.

Don't worry about the cold!  At least it's not snowing!   Seriously though, sorry you can't make it.

GO SPARTANS!

Got a great video feed. Great first drive. Go get 'em Spartans

If I didn't have a cracked hip, I'd be kicking myself in the butt for staying home

BTW thanks for the directions. I was thinking of the old stadium which was where the Veale Center is along the railroad tracks. Loving football and trains as a kid I loved that place along with going to Little Italy after the game.

Procedure penalties are allowing Wabash to stay in the game
