Just saw on the CMU webpage that the CMU@Allegheny game this year will be televised on FSN Pittsburgh.

What might that game draw at the gate?

Tom Zagorski is going to be a GA at John Carroll

It was reported from NCAC media day that Witt @ CMU will be tape delayed on ESPNU.  Apparently the broadcast is being sponsored by CMU.

Players gotta be loving the lower than normal temps as practice starts!

[BDTartan]

What does tape delay technically mean??

[ADL70]

It will be taped and shown the following day.

[BDTartan]

Okay, thanks....but will it be shown everywhere the following day on ESPNU or is it just a regional thing.  I only ask because we have family and friends who can't necessarily travel and see my brother play so this would be a perfect opportunity for them. 

Also, CMU scrimmages Waynesburg this weekend......any other scrimmages on tap??

[ADL70]

All I know is what I read in the Springfield paper which I found from this site.  The fact that it's not mentioned on either the CMU or Witt sites suggests don't count on it yet.  Is it possible they got Wittenberg and Allegheny as well as ESPNU and Fox Sports mixed up?

I don't know if "the U" has regional broadcasts.

Seems a little early for an outside scrimmage.  Most teams are having intrasquads this week and outside ones next.

According to the new roster about a dozen players have added from 5-20 lbs since last season.  Most of them are WRs or LBs

Tiemeier and Tuertscher are staying on campus with the coaching staff.

Major: You have overlooked NESCAC. Run its numbers if you like.

[DagarmanSpartan]

Frank,

I haven't overlooked them.

The "Ivy League" consists of comprehensive universities, NOT liberal arts colleges.

By contrast, he NESCAC consists of liberal arts colleges, not comprehensive universities, (Tufts excepted) and as such, cannot logically be the "Ivy League" of Division III.

Now then, having said that, the NESCAC is undoubtedly the most academically elite conference in terms of "liberal arts" colleges.

CMU scrimmaged Waynesburg today....don't know much yet, but I do know the Tartan defense sounds good, giving up its first score 14 plays into the scrimmage.
