Interesting factoid from that CWRU-Hiram preview: incredibly, Hiram leads the alltime series 11-10-1 despite CWRU's recent dominance (thanks mostly to wins from the 70's and 80's).  I'm guessing that this will be the last time that's the case for quite some time.

I'm planning to road-trip to the CMU-Gheny game on Saturday after a morning kayaking trip with a fellow CMU alum.  Will post my observations sometime the following day.

To fans of D-3 football everywhere.  I am honored to have been asked to spread the word regarding a new cancer fund that has been established to help Tom Pattison, UW-W sports broadcaster and founder of www.warhawkfootball.com    I and my family know, all to well, how a cancer diagnosis can be devastating to a families daily lives and finances. Please, consider making even the smallest donation to Tom.

The following is an open letter by Retired UW-W Coach Bob Berezowitz:

Team Tom Cancer Fund Drive established

Once a Warhawk, always a Warhawk are the often spoken words by Tom Pattison, longtime "voice" of the Warhawks. Over the many years of broadcasting UW-Whitewater football, basketball and baseball games on KOOL 106.5 (and prior to that (940 WFAW), Tom has "bled purple" during each one of his broadcasts.

Unfortunately, on May 28, 2012 Tom was diagnosed with advanced stage 2 colon cancer. He underwent colorectal cancer surgery in Fort Atkinson and in the process has developed astronomical hospital and medical bills.

Tom has already gone through the first phase of radiation treatment at the UW Cancer Clinic along with chemotherapy with phase two starting later this month.

Tom has given his heart and soul to Warhawk athletics over his 25 years of living here in southern Wisconsin. He served six years as the president of the UW-Whitewater Quarterback Club and still serves on the club's board of directors.

In 2003 Tom founded Warhawkfootball.com where Warhawk fans, players, former players and parents have been able to view up-to-date Warhawk football news and information 365 days a year. Nearly 1.5 million visitors have clicked onto the Website over the years.

The Website that has been funded entirely by Tom has been a popular "voice" for Warhawk football fans not only locally but around the world.

Well now Tom needs your assistance in his battle with cancer.

With the help and leadership of UW-Whitewater Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Paul Plinke and former Warhawk football coach Bob Berezowitz and KOOL 106.5 Radio a team has been set up to lead a campaign to raise funds for Tom.

The "Team Tom Cancer Fund" has been established through Commercial Bank in Whitewater and is now accepting donations.

Donations may be sent to: Team Tom Cancer Fund, c/o Commercial Bank, 200 South Freemont St. Whitewater, WI 53190

The fund raising drive will also include Tom Pattison Day at Perkins Stadium on Oct. 6, 2012. More details will be announced shortly.

"I have known Tom for many years while coaching and now in retirement," Berezowitz said. "There is not another person who has given more of himself to help promote UW-Whitewater football. He is always writing articles for both past and present players that are published on his Website.

It is now our turn to say "thank you" for his efforts by considering making a donation to the to assist Tom in his time of need.

Go Warhawks,
Bob Berezowitz
UW-Whitewater Football Coach/Retired

CMU looked terrific against Allegheny.  While the Gators are not exactly a Purple Power, they're a decent mid-level program and we've had a lot of trouble with them the last few years.  A 37-7 win is nice, and it was great to see some big plays out of the passing game for the second week in a row.  An experienced QB can make a big difference at this level.  The ground game has been steady but unspectacular the first two weeks, and the defense was much sharper this week (although the Allegheny offense may not be all that great).  CMU has a great opportunity to get off to a fast start, with a few more winnable games before Wabash and the league schedule.

Looks like CWRU shot par for the course with a relatively-clean 35-0 win over Hiram.  Still have to consider them the league favorite for the time being.

Disappointing result from WashU (surprised how much Rhodes gashed them in the running game) and a tough close loss for Chicago - big offense, somewhat lacking defense.  Needed to convert one more of those FG drives into a touchdown and it was their game.

I thought I'd give you a chance to crow before I commented.  An impressive win.  Allegheny appears to be the best team in the NCAC not called Wittenberg or Wabash.

CWRU won the game, but may have lost Riordan on a punt return late in the 4th quarter.  You pull the starters from offense, why leave them in on special teams?

The Academic Bowl may well not be all that's on the line in the final game.

We'll see.  They were pretty even with Wooster in week 1.  OWU did some good things on Saturday so they might emerge.  DePauw, if they can get any kind of decent QB play at all, really should occupy that third spot.  In any case, there's a Grand Canyon sized gap between Wabash/Witt and the next tier of teams in the league this year. 

That said, the Gators generally put up stiff resistance when Wabash plays out there, so the Tartan mauling of Allegheny did not go unnoticed here.  I'd not be surprised if CMU is the second best team Wabash plays in the regular season this year.  Ought to be an interesting game in C'ville in a few weeks.  Wittenberg will be on the horizon and preparing for CMU will be out of the ordinary as Wabash hasn't played a wing-t team since OWU more or less abandoned it a few years ago.  Wabash's focus and preparation will be tested that week.

Agreed, wally.  I'm not about to climb on my high horse and proclaim that CMU is headed back to the playoffs just because of a Week 2 win against Allegheny.  The Gators were pretty good in 2009-10 but seemed to take a step back last year, and it's hard to figure exactly how good they'll be this year.  With that said...

Outside of Wabash & Witt, Allegheny has been the most consistently "decent" program in the NCAC over the last five years, generally finishing 3rd/4th in the league and occasionally producing a real quality team (especially the 2010 team that went 7-3 with VERY close losses to CWRU and Witt; that was probably their best team, although the 2009 team went 8-2).

CMU hasn't beaten anybody decent in the last four years; we've really just feasted on the Kenyons and Hirams of the world in recent years.  Our last win over a team that finished the season with a winning record came in 2007 (when yours truly was still playing left tackle).  So I'm taking a decisive win on the road against a team like Allegheny, and with a favorable schedule in the next few weeks, CMU might take some momentum into the UAA schedule.

walls, I'm not going to say that CMU is really good enough to push Wabash, but it could be an interesting game because of some of the factors that you mentioned.  We'll talk again in a few weeks if CMU wins the next two.

What's most amazing is that they only attempted 13 passes!
