I still have no idea where you're coming from in this.  Yes, some of the homes need some rehab (especially the ones being used as frat houses) but they are structurally interesting (far more so than most buildings of the last 60 years).  You can speak in generalities, but I don't think you have much of a point here.  Exactly which houses do you think are ugly?  I can tell you that I think specifically the Alumni House as well as the one directly east of it (which is unfortunately slated for demolition) are very nice buildings.

Frank is, I believe, coming from about 50 years ago.

All UAA team.

Whalen and Bott are POYs

Frank your right, University Circle area is hideous. Case would be better served if they moved down to  east 40th and Central. It is so much more cultural and historic then where Case is now .

To use a currently popular phrase, to call most of them "century homes" is putting lipstick on a pig

We talk football here and if you want to talk sh+t about Cleveland save it for other forums.

Congratulations to all the Spartans selected to All UAA Team and Thanks for another outstanding season.

Go Case!!!!  Go Spartans!!!!  GO BLUE!!!!

Here's something about Dan Whalen from the Wabash site that you CWRU guys might enjoy. Great story and obviously a great kid.

Why We Play The Game

[ADL70]

Dan Whalen has been nominated for the Gagliardi.  He's the third Spatan in four years (maybe five) to be nominated.  There's  link on the front page to vote in the fan vote.

In a perfect ( and fair) world I'd vote for Whalen, but I can't ignore Micheli's passing efficency of 217.7, dual majors and GPA


Hey, I went to the Cleveland Music Settlement in one of those montrous old mansions. I know from experience the only way you get a new frat house is get the school to build it and lease it to you. Not a lot of money in running frat houses.

seventies   I have no quarrel with anyone who votes for Micheli.  He is certainly worthy.  In a perfect world (or if you had two or more computers) you could vote for both.

And thanks Li'l Giant for the post!

[ADL70]

BTW, you can vote daily for the Gagliardi.  So spread the love.

Congrats to Academic All-American Lee Sasala, as well as CMU's Brian Freeman and Clay Crites (1st team) plus John Scholl (2nd team).

And let me point out an underrecognized special teams role, the holder.  CWRU has a great one in Ryan Kolesar.  69 placement kicks with nary a bobble that I recall.  And a couple of times he did a great job in getting down errant snaps.

Never too early to think about next year...   While the Spartans lose 9 quality seniors they return 9 offensive starters including the top 8 WR/TE's, 4 RB's and both QB's.  On D 3 of 6 return on the line, 3 of 4 LB's and 3 of 4 DB's.  Special teams have both back.  Another run is in the works.....

Go Case!   Go Spartans!!   Go Blue!!!

Still basking in this years glory...Congrats to D3.com all-regin first teamer Ryan Breon and second team Bobby Bott.

And to Coach Debeljak region 2 AFCA coach of year.  AFCA has five regions and neither Mount Union nor Trine are in the same region as CWRU.

Another way to look at next season, all of the so-called skill position players should return on O along with the top seven tacklers on D.

Nine first team UAA and five second team players (including O and D POYs) should return.

A number of freshmen made big contributions:  Opperman was a full time starter at LG, Doolin (DE), Sharp (CB), and Allen (C) started a few games due to injury, English ranked seventh in tackles and first in sacks, Coleman played in two tight end formations, and Metlesitz (WR-KR) was fourth in all purpose yards.  If they stay around and healthy for three more years success should continue for the foreseeable future.

[ADL70]

Don't forget to vote for Coach Debeljak.  You can vote once a day till 12/22

Case's athletic website is reporting that Case DB Bobby Bott was selected a first team Division III All-American by AFCA.

He'll be back next season, together with Dan Whalen at QB.

Next year could be our year!

Bott also selected to AP Little All-American Third Team (includes DII and NAIA)
