Reference: Schools' all-time Division III record

Beautiful Lake Erie?  C'mon its one of the Great Lakes!!  I mean its not an ocean, but it is an overpolluted waterway with passage to the ocean, right?  That means something doesn't it?

Just as I said, poignancy!

It is important to note, however, that the members of the Trip-Over-Their-Own-Shoelaces Society (Hiram, Oberlin, Denison, Kenyon) also came from the OAC.  They were among the original founders of the NCAC.  Wittenberg followed a few years later.  However, they were also stronger when they were in the OAC.

Just for the sake of historical accuracy, I should point out that Hiram was not a founding member of the NCAC. 
All of the Ohio-based schools (Case, Denison, Hiram, Kenyon, Oberlin, OWU, Wittenberg, and Wooster)  were members of the OAC prior to joining the NCAC.

Excellent point about Hiram.  I just remembered them in the OAC so I made a bad assumption.  I haven't lived in Springfield for a long time so I didn't get all the details on the NCAC as time went along.  The main news for me in those days was that Witt had left the OAC, which was not a good thing.

I did not know that Case was in the OAC.  When were they in?  The last I knew they were in the Presidents Athletic Conference.

I am glad to have found this forum.  In Cincinnati, there is no one to talk to about Wittenberg sports.  When I mention Division III, everyone wants to change the subject, including my son who attended his first Tigers game when he was 4.

Thanks.

It's actually pretty clean now. And it was always fairly clean at the Buffalo end; the public beaches in Erie County, NY have always been popular. It was Cleveland's harbor at the estuary of the Cuyahoga River (that once famously caught on fire) that was filthy.

Lake Erie is so shallow (it's more like the world's widest river than it is a Great Lake) that it flushes out fairly quickly, which made detoxing it a lot easier.

It actually is a beautiful lake, especially in the winter. Because it's so shallow, it's the only Great Lake that freezes over. There's something awe-inspiring about looking at the vast expanse of Lake Erie once it's frozen over; it's like going back in a time machine to the Ice Age when a glacier covered the entire region.

awe inspiring and Lake Erie are 4 words I would have a hard time stringing together, but to each his own. 


Tiger Fan  1973----Seems like every school in Ohio was once a member of the OAC  .  You can add Kent State and Akron to the list of OAC and Ohio NCAC schools as once being members.

and.........Xavier, Cincinnati, Ohio, Case and Western Reserve (they were once separate), Ashland, Toledo, Findley and Bowling Green.

So I wasn't far off, maybe its easier to say every school in Ohio except THE Ohio State University has been in the OAC.

[dren]

And in the MIAA former members include Michigan Agricultural College and Michigan Normal College.

M.A.C is the easy one to figure out who they are now... but bonus for figuring out who Michigan Normal College is ______________

[sac]

That would be Mr Y's school......Eastern Michigan University. 8)

[dren]

can't get anything by you SAC

here's some karma...

[Mr. Ypsi]

That would be Mr Y's school......Eastern Michigan University. 8)

Bingo!

I notice Miami was not on your list - would they be another exception?

[sac]

I mispelled Miami with a blank space........they should be on that list.

[Mr. Ypsi]

In that case, you just might be right that it is EVERY Ohio school except TOSU (if they're gonna be a pretentious as THE University of Michigan, they can now be TOSU - and Michigan is henceforth TUM)!

Chuck's school used to be called Michigan Normal College? So many punchlines ... can't decide ... can't decide ...

Over the past 24 hours on Posting Up I've waxed pedantic in various rooms about Lake Erie, the monastic tradition of brewing beer, and whether or not there really is a place in Germany called Wittenburg with a "u" instead of an "e".

I really need to see a basketball game.
