Awful

[E.115]

Any word if the CMU-Geneva game will get rescheduled this season? 

[Bob.Gregg]

E.115, neither has an open date remaining.  My guess is that it's a no-game for 2018.

From any potential tie-breaking standpoint, it won't matter because all W&J, CWRU & WC will have played each of them.
And, while on that topic, Westminster's loss to Grove City could be the final determinant should W&J & CWRU each lose again.

I suspect for religious reasons Geneva doesn't play on Sundays.

Some CWRU and W & J guys are national statistical leaders:


Sacks:
#1 - DE Cameron Brown (CWRU), Sr. with 14 sacks

They don't but there's no way they would have played Sunday in that neighborhood anyway.

Agreed, but if Geneva were willing to play on Sunday, they could have hosted.

Good for the players on both teams.  Won't impact conference standings or tie-breakers.

Agree.  I am glad they'll be able to play the game.  Obviously this pales in comparison to Saturday's events; however, for the sake of the players (especially seniors) you only get so many chances to suit up, and with both teams out of the playoff race it makes sense to schedule the game and give the guys that final chance to suit up.  Kudos to both schools for making that happen.

Saturday was a tough day, although I'm hardly the one most traumatized by the events.  I lived in various apartments <2 miles from that intersection for 14 years before we moved to the 'burbs last summer.  I've walked, run, or driven past it literally hundreds of times.  I didn't know what was going on until about 11:30 Saturday morning when I flipped on my TV to get ready for the usual college football Saturday and the local news was covering the story.  I don't have a first-degree connection to any of the victims but have several once-removed connections.  One of the Tree of Life victims was a beloved primary-care physician who cared for a number of people that I work with and/or their relatives.  Another was the widow of a longtime CMU statistics professor who taught and mentored several of my friends and colleagues.  Absolutely gutted for those folks.

CWRU went with four down linemen vs Bethany and it worked as Bethany was held to 98 yds TO.

Bethany countered with five DBs and held Spartans to 198 by air, though very wet cold day had a role as well.

[ADL70]

RRs are out.  CWRU's only hope is another stumble by W&J.  Spartans 9th in South behind other C contenders Centre, Hardin Simmons, and Muhlenberg.

Regional rankings are out:

Many prayers to those family and friends affected by this senseless act.
