FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

Fun fact of the day: Thomas More's head coach, Regis Scafe, is a Case Western Reserve alumnus.

I'm sure he's a great guy and clearly a very good football coach, but isn't this the name of a Bond or Mission Impossible villain? And if it's not, shouldn't it be? Can't you picture Ben Kingsley in a role with the name Regis Scafe laughing maniacally as he uses his sophisticated British accent to tell the good guy all his plans while setting up the hero's extremely and unnecessarily complicated death?

Fun fact of the day: Thomas More's head coach, Regis Scafe, is a Case Western Reserve alumnus.

Fun fact of the day #2: Case Western's non-appearance in the initial batch of regional rankings (and W & J's for that matter) is a very strong sign that there will probably be no Pool C's coming from the PAC this year.  If CWRU beats Thomas More, the Saints will drop in the RR's and have the sort of "9-1, 0-1 against RR, mediocre SOS" profile that means trouble - especially because with CWRU currently not ranked, it's really hard to imagine they would just leap into the rankings at #4 or 5 and have TMC sitting there right beneath them.  A Case win probably drops TMC to at-best-8th in the RR's, maybe as low as 10th.  No appearance from CWRU and W & J in the initial RR's means that Thomas More has to win to be safely in.

Where can you get SOS numbers for teams outside the regional rankings?

Under the NEWS tab on the front page of D3football.com.

Hey Pat, is this a bad link?  When I click on the SOS link through the Regional Rankings news tab, it brings me to 2014:

Good catch -- it's fixed.

Not only is Regis Scafe a CWRU alum, but he also served as CWRU's head coach for a time in the 1990s.

Since then, he has gone on to coach at John Carroll and Thomas More.

While Scafe was at JCU, CWRU beat him at least once, maybe twice.

Let's hope we can beat him at Thomas More as well.

I completely forgot CWRU has already beaten Scafe twice this decade -- yep, 2010 and 2011.

I'm totally fine with that.  Case and Thomas More play annually now, at least they should while both are good.

I'll check this out - it's pay and I'm sitting at breakfast.  My coworker commutes from Chicago and will have to let me use his password.

I had to register but no payment was required.

CWRU plays neither TMC nor W&J the next two seasons according to the future schedules on CWRU's site.
