Hmmm...........

Marietta and Frostburg State.

I'd rather we play Kenyon every year.

Also, I'd like to see us play one of the DIII service academies (Coast Coard or Merchant Marine-King's Point) every year.

I've heard it through the grapevine that the CWRU/JCU game may possibly need to be switched to Case Field if JCU's new turf isn't ready in time. Does anybody have any updates on this?

Neither Marietta nor Frostburg thrill me.

A 2 on 2 off rotation with JCU and B-W in week one has a lot of appeal.

It seemed like JCU was starting late with the new turf. As I recall they played in Beford while Shula was being built. Brush looks to be free on the 3rd after a 3 pm soccer match.

STO will have the game rebroadcast at 11:30 that night.

ADL70,

Any Pics on JCU's new field? $:-\$

There was someone guarding the entrance and not letting people in, so I had to just take a picture from the fence. You can't see the field too well, but the turf is complete while the track has not yet been installed. (Click picture for larger version.)

I'll try again over the weekend to see if I can get up into the stands to take a picture.

Gang,

I've got some GREAT news for CWRU!!!!

Washington Monthly magazine just put out its annual college rankings list.

Compared to other college ranking lists (USNEWS, BusinessWeek, Gourman Report, etc.) their rankings criteria are a bit non-traditional.

They emphasize things like "upward mobility" (including % of students receiving Pell Grants, and grad rates vs. pred. grad rates), "research" (research budget, faculty in national academies, bachelor degree recipients that go on to earn Ph.Ds, etc.), and "commitment to service" (measured by Peace Corps recruitment, ROTC, student involvement in community service, federal work-study funds, etc).

Personally, I'm VERY happy to report that CWRU finished #7 in the country, ahead of many "elite" schools, and tied with HARVARD in terms of overall score.

Princeton, MIT, and Rice.............EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT!!!

Read on.

You can also click on links for comparable rankings of national liberal arts colleges, etc.

As for this Saturday..............GO SPARTANS!!!! BEAT JCU!!!!

ADL70,

Those new uniforms are UBER-KEWL!!!!

I especially like the huge "CASE" written in the new logo font across the front.

Definitely an improvement over the past.

GO SPARTANS!!!

I would have preferred "SPARTANS," since the athletic logos were redone during the Case-centric branding days and not updated when that focus was toned down (hence no CWRU logo) and would like a little grey trim.

Watched some of CalUPa's game last night (from whence Olson came). Their QB was a DI transfer from VA who had been at UVa and Oregon St.
