Marching into the playoffs?

CWRU got its first vote in the AFCA poll.

In my son's words "Lets worry about Waynesburg first."

The marching I referred to was the Saints.

As a former player, alum and a fan / I'd prefer that the team doesn't get ahead of themselves and respects the daily process they've used to prepare for each of the 5 seasons they've played in 5 weeks this year:)

Otherwise, yes, I'm hoping to have the problem of needing to schedule flights back to CVG so I can attend playoff games at BB&T Field in Crestview Hills.

I should have caught that.

The CWRU parents will be in our normal tailgate spot (top of the parking garage) before the game. Come joint us for a drink!

Thanks for the invite, will do. This is likely my last live Spartan game. In two weeks I will have moved to Texas.

...where you will be welcomed with open arms! However, I understand all too well how hard it is to move away from your team. I miss the tailgates and other pre-game traditions from my years spent in Atlanta. Enjoy your last game, and hopefully you will get more chances in the future.

ADL70,

To which part of Texas are you moving?

I was born and raised in Houston, and still visit the area at least twice per year.

ADL70 · October 08, 2015, 06:07:10 PM

Moving to Sun City in Georgetown where I can also follow Southwestern and UMHB. All of my family have migrated to central Texas or further west.

Welcome to Texas ADL70.

The best book on Texas History is TR Fehrenbach's Lone Star.

Go on Amazon and get a 1968 or a 1985 version. His 2001 version is too politically correct and covers some of the "juicy" stuff you find in the real history.

Buy a Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine and enjoy some great high school football, especially in the smaller towns.

As for race relations in 2015? Well, the head football coaches at both UT and A&M are both black.

"Nuff said."

I did watch the History Channel's dramatization Texas Rising though no doubt there were many liberties taken.

When I heard where in Texas the show was being filmed, I gave it a pass. The coastal plains have a completely different look from where the show was filmed, like 15-20 inches of rainfall per year!

ADL70,

The Houston and Austin CWRU alumni groups collaborate on an annual Winery tour event in the Austin area. I've been twice.

GREAT fun! Check it out!

Good luck in your new location. I'll bet you will not miss winter in OH.

Best of luck - having just moved to Boston three weeks ago, I feel your pain - moving is awful

It was a pretty day in Washpa for homecoming but for the Grovers, not so much. W&J scored the first 5 times they had the ball and the defense shut down the GC offense.

In the pre game radio interviews Sirianni and Young both said they felt they were Thomas More's equal last week, but mistakes (some, no doubt, caused by TM) killed their chances. No excuses offered but this far in the season you would expect a good team (and W&J is a good team) to minimize their mistakes.

The W&J CWRU game is starting to look very interesting assuming both win next week.

DagarmanSpartan · October 10, 2015, 06:36:55 PM

Another dominating win for CWRU today. Outgained Waynesburg 581-201.

Cuda was an amazing 25 of 28 for 268 yards. He's now thrown 16 TD passes this season without an interception. He also ran for another 63 yards, and has 452 on the season to lead the team.

I anticipate another win next week against Geneva.

At that point.................we'll have a chance to see if we're really a contender, or just a pretender, against W&J and St. Thomas More.
