Or be like WashU and have Wit Wooster and Wabash 3 of NCAC's top 4.

Problem for the UAA teams, I guess, is that dumping the arrangement leaves them with SO MANY holes on the schedule. 

The field is pretty wide open for scheduling games through the first 3-4 weeks of the season.  After that, it gets tough when most of D-III gets into conference play.  But there are games, and good games at that, available in October...if you're willing to travel (read: $pend) for them.

I was checking out the defensive stats for CWRU and I realized 10-13 leading tacklers are underclassmen--only 3 seniors.  Some of the biggest defensive players Jacob Adams and Dale English are only juniors.

Also, here's the preview for the CWRU vs Oberlin game: http://www.case.edu/athletics/varsity/sports_men/football/stats/2010/oberlingamenotes.html

The only reason I can image that Jacob Adams isn't on the d3football TOW is that CWRU didn't nominate him (he did get UAA honor).  It's a shame he isn't on the d3 team, because his 12 tackles, forced fumble, fumble recovery (although mysteriously he didn't get credit), QB hurry, return of blocked field goal (again not credited, although it was a short one), and, oh yeah, the blocked PAT that gave the Spartans the win, overshadow the mere seven tackles for the third LB on the d3 team.

Gang,

I just "rebranded" myself.

I've changed my handle from "MajorSpartan" to "JagranSpartan."  

"Jagran" is the word for the rank of Major in the Army in Dari (Afghan Persian).  I learned that word in the course of my current Dari language training.  If I ever make Lieutenant Colonel, I can always change my handle to "DagaranCoog," and if I ever make Colonel, then I could be "DagarwalCoog."  Dagaran and Dagarwal are the Dari words for Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel respectively.

I'm told that these words for military ranks differ from those used in Farsi (Iranian Persian), as they are actually derived from the Pashto language rather than Persian itself.

Thanks ADL70.  I'm linked into the live stream right now.  The audio is a little bad though...

I have a good set-up today: OSU-Indiana on TV/CWRU-Oberlin on the computer.

Bears win 24 20

[DagarmanSpartan]

Whew!!!

Oberlin gave us quite a scare!!!

I hope our defense plays better than that in the future!

Those guys had over 450 yards against us!  Nevertheless, we extended our winning streak against the Obies to 26 straight.  Can anyone tell me if that's the longest current streak by any one team against another in Division III?

From the sound of the crowd one would have thought it was a CWRU home game.

Way to go Bears!!!  You now have wins against Wittenberg and Wabash in the last three years.  That ought to end the Wallys carping about the UAA schedule, but it won't.

+1.  Heck of a win for Wash U.

I can't be TOO hard on the Bash posters, since I pretty much agreed with them a few days ago that they'd get more from "harder" noncon games...but this is a pretty sweet win as far as UAA pride goes.

[ExTartanPlayer]

Also, a pretty cool observation...if WashU beats Wooster -or- Oberlin, that means that every UAA team will enter UAA play with a winning record (CWRU, CMU, and Chicago already have 4+ wins).  Not bad for a small-time league!!!

[WashUDad]

Yep... matching up to be a great conference season

Hopping over from the basketball forums for a quick hello and congrats to the Bears! Great win.
