What are your sources telling you about who will play against Defiance.

cwru70,
There is a flu-like epidemic that appears to be airborn and has caused many illnesses this week.  Coaches Debeljak and Slesh are definitely out as they have been quarantined at University Hospital.  QB's Mirando and Harvey both have strange arm injuries and are seeing specialists.  Look for Elizabeth Sparks (MH-- Volleyball team) to call the signals.  She has had tremendous success reading defenses in the co-ed flag league.  It appears Coach Macalla will call both sides of the ball and may emerge as the next Jim Tressel (ironic since they are both "Stingers").  Assistant Coach Kaufman plans to suit up and wear number 57 (to remain inconspicuous).  Look for him to have a big game.  Lastly, it appears Rosenbury has a case of Utah hoppidylooch.  It is a rare but painful swelling of the feet.  They have resized him with size twenty-seven shoes but I just don't know how he can be as effective toting the pigskin,

Interesting injury report. Should be an interesting game tomorrow. I was at the game last Saturday and I look for the Spartans to get some retribution against the Yellowjackets. Look for the Spartans to be 4-1 and ready to take the UAA title.

You've never steered me wrong before, but....

[ADL70]

OK, Call me the jinx.  Or maybe 4u's diagnoses were accurate.

Here is an article from Angelo Mirando's hometown paper.  Thought some of you might be interested. It tells how he ended up at Case via Valparaiso and a bit of his injury history.

Thanx I saw the hometown report from the summer when the transfer was announced.  I was aware CWRU was his first choice and he got his grades so he could transfer.  Hope he can get healthy with the open date.  Clearly his performance against Defiance showed he was not 100%, even before the hit that put him out for a series.

The roster has Angelo listed as a sophomore but the article said he is a redshirt freshman.   What is his actual athletic eligibilty?  I was under the impression he didn't play at Valpo last year.

Does Case have a graduate business school that could keep Mirando there after he most likely finsihes his degree in two or three years?

[frank uible]

Case has a B school. Whether its existence could motivate a certain person a certain way I leave to the judgment of others.

[ADL70]

There are many opportunities at CWRU for graduate education, including the Weatherhead School of Management. Co-op years have also sometimes caused athletes to spread 4 eligibility years over 5 academic years.  My understanding was that he red-shirted at Valpo and that that would still permit him 4 years eligibility at CWRU, should he choose to continue.  I know CMU had a player last year whose class was listed as "Grad."  One thing that separates the UAA schools from many D3 schools is their graduate programs.

I thought that D-III did away with all but medical red-shirts...yes, no?  Somebody...?  If so, when did it go into effect/what class year would have to follow the new rule?

[Mr. Ypsi]

My understanding is that for transfers who legally redshirted in a different division, d3 will recognize (accept) the redshirting.  Anyone?

[Pat Coleman]

Redshirting is in the FAQ.

[ADL70]

The gist, as I understand it and as it applies to Mirando: redshirting if recognized at the level and institution at the time, as was the case in '04 at Valpo, will be recognized in d3.  The question that was raised though I think was: would there be a reason for Mirando to stay the extra year?

[Mr. Ypsi]

That sounds like a question for Mirando!
