Ah.  One season before I got plugged into all things NCAC.

It's a good reminder that, as bad as the NCAC football schedule was in the latter part of the last decade, it was much worse before then!

The 2013 Football Media Guide doesn't show Oberlin competing for the title in 1999.  But from 1989-98 not all teams played the same number of conference games.  CWRU always played six because of UAA games, but during that period some teams played seven while others eight.

Now that's before both the d3football era and Wabash's membership.   

I thought it possible that one of W&J's games might not count for the standings, but W&J's site didn't have conference games marked.

I had contemplated moving to Texas this year, but deciding to stay in Ohio.  I have come to rue that decision, with this unusually cold winter.

I really don't know why anyone lives here.  It's cold.

This from someone that's a graduate of Alfred University?

(for the record, I agree with the disdain for the cold - I love Pittsburgh, but I really think I'd be all right with snow once a year on Christmas and then never again)

I don't remember it being as cold in Alfred as it was last weekend in Cleveland.  We had more snow accumulation but I just don't remember it being so bitter cold. 

It was great to see my son but I have to say I was happy to be back in Fort Lauderdale.

No BridgeBowl for 2014?  Heard the Mt. St. Joseph's didn't renew contract with Thomas More.  And that TMC has very limited options for picking up a game (UW-OshKosh I think I heard)...

I thought SaintsFAN had alluded to this once, but maybe it was in a PM conversation.  I think he had mentioned MSJ wanted to end the series.  Perhaps he'll chime in here. 

TMC vs. UWO would be a nice interconference matchup if they can make it happen, but arranging travel and agreeing on a site (if it's to be a one-time game) can be hangups.

September 6th AT Wesley is the replacement game.  Go to the Heartland Conference page in the North Region for explanation.  I'll update soon.

Another CWRU QB commit:

CWRU commit Cody Calhoun, an All-Ohio DB/ATH from Columbus Watterson, has been selected to play in the Ohio North-South All-Star game.  First time I can recall a CWRU recruit playing in the game, although starting last year the rosters were in essence doubled with the addition of a second game for the smaller school players.  The JJHuddle site had him rated one of the top 200 prospects in Ohio for the class of 2014.
