... The four years I have been here. Y'all have gotten ahead of yourselves.  Play a stronger pre conference schedule and the you will be better prepared for both conference and post season .... Bears Win!!!

That was a humble comment....Solid win by WashU, but not a thrashing by any means... And, WashU lost the game against Case last year, so how did playing 'stronger' teams help them there?
Case has been inconsistent most of the year and the offense could not get going.
Congrats to WashU.  We'll see what happens next week.

Wittenberg was on this season's schedule (as well as Oberlin that just beat Wabash).

Next season has Linfield and Trinity (okay Trinity is down this year).

I don't think anyone took WUStL for granted, but take away the one big play and maybe it's a different outcome.

Remind me when the Bears made the post season.

How did the playoffs go for Case Last year

[WashUDad]

I guess as well as this year

[WashUDad]

Or how deep has Case gone in the playoffs

Or how deep has Case gone in the playoffs

As deep as any UAA team (the other would be CMU), second round.

... Yep. How many UAA championships  y'all one.  Sheesh

I'm relatively new to this site and this is the first time that I have seen comments that really have no value and seem to be measuring one team's value (WashU) by the failures of another (Case), when in reality neither team (apparently) has progressed very far in playoffs in the past.
Although Case has not had a great year so far, I'm very proud of the team and their efforts.  I also recognize that WashU won and deserved to win today's game.  We still have one game to play and I plan to be around for a couple of more years so wel'll see how Case's record compares to WashU.
Meanwhile, belittling either team should have no place in here.

Your team won (not one) the game.  Congratulations.  I also congratulated the Bears on their effort against Whitewater

Now if you have nothing positive to say, crawl back into the hole you've been in since August 25.

Trololololol. 

[WashUDad]

Yep we played Wabash,Coe and Whitewater his year
Wabash Witt. Last year and the year before.   Correct grammar if you wish.   This year we played   the Third hardest schedule.   What was Case's schedule ranked.   Again the strength of schedule is probably why Case did not make the playoffs last year.

Strength of schedule helps somewhat, but it doesn't make plays to help a team win.  WashU has benefitted from the return of DE Nelson Nwumeh, the emergence of QB Eric Daginella, and PK Alex Hallwachs' strong leg.

Certainly it takes more than 3 players to win games, but Nwumeh has had a ripple effect on the defense, allowing it to get off the field more often.  Daginella's performance has helped even out the season-long time-of-possession deficit, and Hallwachs has allowed the offense to get some points instead of trying to convert difficult 4th down situations.

In the Bears' 3-game winning streak, the contributions of those 3 players trump the team's strength of schedule.

Gang,

This appears to be the latest in a long line of disappointments this season.  I hope that we can at least salvage a winning record and win the Academic Bowl.

I'm now VERY worried about next year.  Between losing our starting QB and virtually our entire defense, there isn't a heck of a lot to build upon. 

On another note.................

Congrats to Oberlin...................easily the upset of the year.  In fact, this may be the biggest win in their program's history as a Division III competitor.

We can now look back upon that game as our "marquee" win of the year.

I'm now VERY worried about our nearly three decade long win streak against Oberlin ending next year.

Trololololol.

Don't know why you're trolling here, Dad. If you've read the board at all in your time since you got here you'd know we don't do that around here.
