On the contrary, we will be GLAD to have a Wash U representative!!! Welcome aboard and feel free to introduce yourself - what's your connection to Wash U?

My son is on the Wash U team, and absent an injury we will make most if not all of the games so I'll be glad to provide some post game reporting.  The guys reported yesterday and I know there is a lot of optimism after the way last season ended and with so many returning starters.  Road games at Whitewater and Coe in the first three weeks will go a long way in defining this team.  The schedule gets a little easier in the middle including two first year programs in Hendrix and Berry before we hit the UAA games, two of which are in St. Louis.  Glad to be on board!

Welcome!  My son is a sophomore at Case.  He got there yesterday, did his fitness testing and is ready to go!

We are planning to be in Cleveland for the opening game and homecoming.  If our son gets regular playing time we will try to make a few other games.  We are thinking about heading out to see the Puget Sound game.

Maybe I can meet both SMom and fladad at the opener.

SpartanMom and fladad I highly recommend meeting ADL70. His experience and insight make watching a game with him a pleasurable experience.

This offseason REALLY needs to end.

I can hardly wait for opening week!

I'll be very easy to spot, I should be wearing a long sleeve CASE sweatshirt with the name SICRE on my back.  I look forward to meeting all who attend any of the three games I am scheduled to attend.

Thanks for the kind words mustang.  I'll follow your other son's progress in the Ivies.

By "experience," he means I'm an old alum who's kept a close eye on the program for the last dozen years.  I now even proofread for the SID.

Over the years I've met up with several players' dads who posted here, Cowdrick, Nicely, Metlsitz, and Nossem.

I'll look you upfladad.

I look forward to meeting any/all of the participants on this board.  So who expects to be at the first CWRU game?

I have:

Me
Casefldad
ADL70

Anyone else planning on being there?  Since the game is a night game we should tailgate!

[ADL70]

In years past the parents' group has had a tailgate.  I do not know who is in charge this year. 


I'm going to the Mt Union-Franklin game earlier, but plan to be there about 6.

Last year we had at one great tailgate at the roof of the parking lot....In the past two years Coach Deb has recruited a parent of a senior player to coordinate events such as this...

That sounds like fun. 

On a related note my husband and I are trying to make reservations for Homecoming.  We booked the Ritz Carlton for Friday night but there is very little availability anywhere downtown on Saturday night.  We booked the  Fairfield Inn so that we have a place to stay.  Is there something else going on in Cleveland that weekend?  I checked the NFL schedule and the Browns are at home but I figure most people who go to the Browns game are local.  I'm stumped.

Thought everyone might enjoy seeing just a brief glimpse of what all the UAA players are going through this week.  The camaraderie and brotherhood of D3 football is what makes it so worthwhile. Best of luck to everyone for a successful and healthy season!

Back from a lovely beach vacation (with four fellow CMU football alums, some of whom the longer-tenured Case fans may remember, all starters on the 2006-07 teams, composing half the O-line and much of the linebacking corps).

BearFan, once again, welcome.  Please allow me a slightly longer introduction, I played on the offensive line for CMU from 2004-07, and have more-or-less continued to follow the team since.  I just completed graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh, and I will be staying at Pitt and beginning a new faculty position this fall.  Therefore, I still live in Pittsburgh and attend "some" of the CMU home games, although I hope to be better about that this year and make it to all of them.  I also wrote the Kickoff previews for the four UAA squads this year; please purchase and check it out once it's available!

Best of luck to your son this season, and to the Bears in nonconference play.  I think the respective UAA squads return enough good ballplayers to make a good showing outside the conference; the WashU schedule is very tough early but as you said, it softens before conference play, and the Bears ought to have some momentum entering the league if they can make it through the first few games injury-free and with confidence intact!

Also, anyone see the story that former Chicago head man Dick Maloney took the defensive coordinator position at RPI?  Interesting; as noted on the d3football facebook page, this smells a bit like perhaps he didn't leave Chicago as voluntarily as the initial stories made it sound.

[ADL70]

The timing of Maloney's departure was always suspect.

Let me second the call to purchase Kickoff.  Help support this site.
