Better watch that "Case" stuff. I think that war has calmed down, but having had a family member involved in that ruckus, I'm am careful to always say Case Western Reserve or CWRU or Adelbert if I want to be a wise ass

[Pat Coleman]

Case officials told me Case or Case Western Reserve is acceptable.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Ah, but did they speak for Western Reserve alums?  Or just figure they could outlive them?!

[seventiesraider]

I'm sure ADL70 can speak to this this

[DagarmanSpartan]

A lot of Western Reserve alums were indeed disillusioned by the "Case" rebranding effort.

Nevertheless, I use the term "Case" all the time, and "Case," "Case Western," "Case Reserve," "Case Western Reserve," and "CWRU," are all used.

Gang,

I come back from Korea in a week.

I'll be in D.C. this summer for Dari language training prior to my deployment to Afghanistan.

What are the best places in the Greater D.C. area to catch some Division III football action?

Catholic U.?

Johns Hopkins?

[Pat Coleman]

I would go Johns Hopkins or Randolph-Macon (about 90 minutes south). As a Catholic grad, I can tell you they're not very good right now. Neither is McDaniel, which is about an hour and 20 minutes north/east of town.

Does Rosetta Stone have Dari?

In formal usage Case Western Reserve is preferred for the first use, then you are free to pick your own shortened form.

Adelbert was used for teams from Reserve for a couple of years until the teams were merged.  Then Case Reserve was preferred.  It is what the NCAA used until a year or two ago and continues in the fight song and the booster organization Case Reserve Athletic Club.  Currently the NCAA uses Case.

Mr. Y hit it on the head.  Those of us who started at Western Reserve are now over 60.  We may be old, but that means we are in our "giving years."

When I was at Mount I dated a girl from Western Reserve. I remember both fondly. If I remember correctly WRU were known as the Redcats, but I cannot recall what Case Institute of Technology's school name.

IMHO I prefer the CWRU reference.

Bingo!  That's why 'Case' better be careful!

I'm also over 60 - IWU better not do anything to p*** me off!

Case Rough Riders  After legendary coach Ray Rider.

CWRU recorded a 6% increase in giving last year.  Pretty good for these times.

I usually write CWRU, but have pretty much surrendered to saying "Case."

[DagarmanSpartan]

ADL70,

I believe that Rosetta Stone does have Afghan Persian (Dari), but I'm not sure.  I'm almost certain that they have Iranian Persian (Farsi).

But I don't really think that that's such a great way to learn.

I'm going to the Defense Language Institute, and taking a 7 hour per day total immersion course for four months.  I suspect that I'll learn the language better in that type of environment.

[EveryOneAround]

How is case looking in camp? What kind of depth do they have at quarterback?

[WashUDad]

OK too quiet here with just over one week to season. 
Good luck to all UAA teams. I hope everyone is 7 and 0 going into the conference season. 
GO BEARS!!!!

[UChicago Maroon]

I heard from some guys on campus that UChicago is looking good.  Defense is controlling the O at times.  Ten starters back on D and more size in the line and tons of quick freshman LB.  Maroons added speed at WR to already go along with Wolff and Brizzolara.  Oium picked-up right where he left off last season throwing the ball.  Tommy Parks scrimmaged yesterday and along with Adarkwa and a freshman RB ran well.  Only nine days and the Maroons head to Wisconsin for game #1.
