Kids en route to Seattle, hope they have a safe trip and enjoy themselves.. Looking forward to the game on Saturday, these two weeks off have created withdrawal symptoms...
Looking for Case to come back strong and ready for the second half of the season...

Hope so!!! Spartans have underachieved a bit thus far but here's a chance to take some momentum into the UAA schedule! Also have to imagine that Puget Sound is a pretty cool campus?

Long trip and they arrived after 11:00 p.m. (eastern time) but pretty excited. Very excited about the practice at the professional stadium... I'm looking (hoping) for a big game from the team...

Spartans are practicing at Seahawks' facility. Seahawks practiced at CWRU before playing Browns two years ago.

Best of luck to Case this weekend vs. Puget Sound. If you will scroll down a bit from the top you will see that http://catdomealumni.blogspot.com/ has picked you to win the game. Hope it works out to be a successful weekend for the team.

Congratulations CWR for your victory in Puget Sound today. That has got to make you feel good on your long plane ride home. That has got to be a nice + to a challenging season.

Not a Case fan, but a UAA fan - thanks for stopping by the board. Agree that is nice for the Spartans to get a W on the long road trip after two full weeks off.

I was only able to watch the first half of the game, but I checked in on the score on my phone and it said CWRU was up 38-17 with 2 min left in the game. What in the world happened after that to make it so close?

Two long TD passes around a recovered onside kick.

This week WUStL should have no trouble with Macalester, while Chicago faces a challenge from Pacific and CWRU from Trinity. CMU gets to lick its wounds, before UAA play starts.

My take as well. Chicago vs. Pacific will tell us a little something about both teams. WashU, I'm starting to think, is a really undervalued team (consider that they lost to Whitewater 17-7 after leading 7-0 for almost the entire game; then look at what UWW has done since then, winning five straight games by 41+ points) and is a legitimate Pool B threat.

On the other hand, the Bears' ten point loss to Coe isn't looking as good as it did before Dubuque handled Coe pretty easily.

True, but the game was at Coe, who is still 5-1, and Dubuque is a pretty good team (good chance they'll win the IIAC). I still think that's a decent-looking loss, IMO, as much as a loss can be. Their defense has been pretty strong all season (the only team that scored a lot was Hendrix, and Hendrix is scoring on everyone), while the offense has only recently come on.

Huh? On that fake FG he never caught the ball, did he? How did they give him a TD?

That's what the coaches were yelling: "He didn't catch the ball!"

With the interfernece call in the end zone would probably just prolomnged the inevitable.

Great win for the Spartans; surprising squeasker for the Bears
