BD: A formative Hubert Bobo. If you are not familiar with Bobo, google him. Every historian of Ohio high school football ought to know about him and his high school rushing and scoring records, some of which still hold after 55 years.

[BDTartan]

Yes, I know of him, but Mr. Sutton from Northwestern took care of most of those records when he was here at Akron Hoban.  This kids name is Stephen Ford and he plays for Cambridge High School in Cambridge Ohio.  He has a very good chance at becoming our immediate area's very first Mr. Football in Ohio.  I can't remember ever seeing a RB carry the ball that many times at any level.  Sutton had 300 yd games but he wasn't a work-horse back like Ford.  His name may be one to remember as he will probably most definitely play at the next level.

DePauw shut out Chicago until the 4th quarter, winning 31-6.

WUStL's offense is in trouble.  Managed only 3 pts in a 6-3 OT loss.

We're counting on the Tartans to win the Hansen Bowl.

BD: Thanks for the info.

[ADL70]

Tartans up 21-7 at half.

55 rushes and only 4 incomplete passes.  Half only took an hour.

CMU  50   CC  26    Take that Hansen!!!

[BDTartan]

Yeah, tell me about it.  CC scored 19 of their26 points on the 2nd string D in the late 3rd quarter and fourth quarter.  CMU once again came out and played solid football.  They get a week off and then they go to Case for the Academic Bowl.

[ADL70]

Hansen's trying to make it up. He's got CMU rated #40 (#37 in D3.com).

[scotty]

now we're challenging the pollsters...frankly, it's getting a little too heated for this guy... :)does the Academic Bowl require a written section or is it multiple choice...go CWRU...

[BDTartan]

I still think that CMU will be overlooked a couple more times this year before these so-called gurus get the picture.  It's not like these guys flew under the radar.  With the victory over CC, CMU has now secured a 32nd straight non-losing season.  They have finished 5-5 or better for the last 32 years now, so I can't see why they don't get at least a little bit of respect.  At least if these gurus don't get it this year, then look out next year because the huge rushing attack this year is led by all juniors and the O-line is fairly young as well.  I hope they enjoy their week off.

Hey, let's not go overboard. What happened to that 4-0 start in 1999 and 2001?

CMU can get a measure of respect by winning at Wash U but won't be a serious Top 25 candidate until they play Thiel. CMU's 5-0 is at the expense of teams currently 6-14.

That's what the voters see. Of the teams CMU has played, only F&M has a shot of even being a Top 100 team in Division III.

Given the previous discussion here, I think BD is referring to Hansen's putting them a 2 td underdog to CC (and perhaps Ralph Turner's initial omission from his Pool B forecast), rather than their poll position.

Given that they took Thiel to OT last year (OK Theil had clinched), I think there's a good chance they can win out.  WUStL hasn't shown much offense this year.

[ADL70]

Phase one of CWRU's schedule went pretty much according to form (ok Oberlin was too close for comfort). 
Ursinus is a bit of a mystery with nothing even close to common opponents.  Unknown also is if the two weeks will mean the return of some injured players or some shuffling among the replacements.
The next two week should portend what the rest of the season will bring for both the Spartans and their undefeated, but untested, opponents.   

[scotty]

cwru, keep up the good work, both on the field and on the board 

[ADL70]

OK, sycophancy can be rewarded.
