Mike's perspective on W&J's team and it's prospects this season. Alex Rowse, the new back up QB, is a real W&J legacy. Two of his great uncles were at W&J with me in the 60's, including one  (Bill) who was my Lambda Chi Alpha brother and best man at our wedding, and I at his. Bill and the Rowses are from Beaver, PA and he always said Beaver Stadium was named after Beaver, PA. In fact, it was named after this guy:

A graduate of.... W&J.

Looks like they do what they have for the last 30 years - reload.

10. Thiel (123 pts.)
11. Grove City College (56 pts.)

Hard to argue with much here, although it looks suspiciously like last year's season-end standings (but that's just kind of how it goes, right?)

I was small but made up for it by being slow...

The one difference this year being W&J has to play at Thomas More.  Thomas More played night games at W&J in 2013 and 2014.  Thomas More has ALOT coming back and a very good replacement for Hayden at RB in CT Tarrant - should be a great battle on October 3rd. 

Thomas More's roster has been published - looks like they've started to recruit Florida now.  Good to see them start getting guys down there.  I'm anxious to see the Duncan kid from Moeller, 6'5" WR.  There's alot of size in this freshman class.

Your son has contributed much to the team.

From previous posts I surmise that your younger son plays lacrosse.

Thank you for your kind words.  My son has been really happy at CWRU and I am glad he found a university and team where he has been happy.  I think that football has really helped him be successful in college. 

All three of my sons played lacrosse in high school  but my youngest is looking for a place to play in college.  He is a goalie and an exceptional student so he is looking for a good academic school as well as a good lacrosse experience.  CWRU would be a good fit for him as far as school goes but it does not have NCAA lacrosse (there are 10 D3 programs in OH).

He played football from the time he was 5 until last season.  He decided not to play varsity football this season so his football career is over.  That makes this season my last as a football parent. I will be sad when it is over.

Hey SaintsFan is this the same kid? He just goes by CT now instead of Christopher.  IMO an act like this does not deserve a second chance, especially when you sucker punch a kid for no reason and put him in the hospital and basically ruin his life.  I am all for second chances when they are deserved but this seems like a malicious act. I think OU got it right by kicking him off the team.

Ahh -- now I see why you had to try to register twice today, because what you were posting was intentionally inflammatory and would look bad if it came from the campus of a PAC institution ...

Pat - I bet I can guess which school this "fan" came from. 


First I've heard about this for CT Tarrant.  Lots of hyperbole in your post though -- so you propose WHAT specifically for his punishment?  Looks like the courts took care of it.  I'm not going to touch the "basically ruined his life" part, as I'm sure you can read one of the articles you left here about Clark's recovery. 

Ohio U was right to kick him off at the time as it wasn't resolved... and Thomas More also got it right in giving the kid a second chance.

I have had enough of young people dying.  First the young man from Thomas More.  Next a couple of local teens died in a boating accident.  Now this young firefighter.   :'(No more please.

On a more cheerful note, then, it really can't be overstated how fine Kickoff 2015 is, and how everyone on these boards should pony up the 11 bucks to support this site and get some really great information.  The thing has better coverage than most D1 preseason magazines you'll buy at Barnes & Noble.  Go for it, folks.

Although I'm not a fan of where they rank CMU and Case... :(
