That would have left the Casies "seeing red."

Red Ryder is a registered trademark. Rider was from Case Coach Ray Rider

Plumbing Poets or Poetic Plumbers? [you had to be there]

Is no one excited about renewing the John Carroll rivalry? Could it become an annual event? Could the two (or three) conferences find a way for it to be a season ending game eventually

I'm somewhat excited about the JCU rivalry. After all, isn't former CWRU head coach Regis Scafe still coaching there?

It could be a decent cross-town rivalry.

We could call it the "Don Shula Bowl." After all, Shula did his undergrad at John Carroll, and his graduate work at Western Reserve.

Which of his alma maters will prevail?

CWRU ought to play JCU and BW every year - one of them on Thanksgiving morning (if one or both of the participants are not then involved in the NCAAs) and the other game to open the schedule under the lights.

Gang,

I just changed my avatar to that of the old Western Reserve University Red Cats.

See.

If we had adopted the "Rough Cats" nickname at the time of merger, we could still have a cool Cheshire Cat logo like that!

DagarmanSpartan · May 10, 2009, 07:17:50 PM

OK, I just changed my avatar back to a Spartan logo (after all, I am "Major Spartan"), albeit a "throwback" logo from 1983.

Still, I think that a "Rough Cats" mascot with a Cheshire Cat logo would have been ideal for CWRU.

If the school wanted to do that today, I'd support it. Just keep the same school colors, and redraw the Cheshire cat in Blue, White, and Grey. We could put a huge smiling Cheshire cat face on the football helmets.

Gosh,

I sure wish CWRU would release its list of new recruits.

The suspense is unbearable!!!

ADL70 · May 13, 2009, 08:48:39 AM

Last year nothing was released until July.

DagarmanSpartan · May 13, 2009, 06:45:02 PM

Ugh!

I'll be out of the country by then!

No internet in ROK? When do you leave?

DagarmanSpartan · May 14, 2009, 07:45:03 AM

Nah, I'll have internet. Just sayin'

I graduate from Command and General Staff College with a Master's degree in Military History on June 12th. My flight for Korea leaves on July 12th.

Expect the numbers to be similar to last year's class.

It may be out soon.

WashUDad · May 15, 2009, 05:18:06 PM

My son just sent in his student profile to Wash U. I hope to see their incoming class soon, as well.

ADL70 · May 19, 2009, 08:26:46 AM

Welcome WUDad....and good luck to your son.

Hope you'll stick around and keep us up on what's happening with the Bears.

Bobby Bott pre-season AA 2nd team

I'm told the incoming class of Spartans will have more out-of-state players than from Ohio.

Here's two:

Luke Johnson 5'11 215 DL/OL River Falls, WI All-State HM OL

Brandon Leedy 6' 245 DT Durham, NC

My son has heard rumors that Wash U is getting the number 2 QB out of Wisconsin. I hope so having some QB competition after losing Sr. Buck Smith can't be a bad thing.
