Good luck to CWRU (or as we knew it back in the day CIT and WRU).

Ah...the good old years of the Rough Riders and Red Cats.  :D

Like W & J: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_%26_Jefferson_Presidents_football
CWRU also has some deep history because of those CIT and WRU years:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Western_Reserve_Spartans_football

So I know this predates both of us... ;D  But looking through old season lists, I see W & J first played WRU in 1896 and CIT in 1901.  Thanks for the comment!

E.115,

Interesting article about long time Case coach Ray Ride.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_A._Ride

Interesting connections.  I think there are a few additional W & J coaching connections throughout CWRU history. 


Now, onward to 2017 playoffs!

One still has to wonder why the name "Rough Cats" wasn't chosen to unite the mascots: CIT Rough Riders (named after Ride), and the Western Reserve Red Cats.

Or the Cat Riders (gotta keep Ride's name in there).

Don't think the Casies would have gone for the color red. Cat Riders doesn't sound too intimidating.

CWRU practicing at Indianapolis Colts practice facilty today:

"The six-plus-hour bus ride to Illinois Wesleyan will have a pit stop. Through the help of Chargers general manager Tom Telesco, Case will stop in Indianapolis and practice at the Colts' practice facility Nov. 17. Telesco is a JCU grad who played football there when Debeljak was a JCU assistant."

WOW!!!

What a GREAT victory for the Spartans!!!

28-0 over the #11 team in the country ON THE ROAD..............DURING A SNOWSTORM!!!

IWU had only given up ONE rushing TD all season until now.  Case got FOUR against them.

Bring on the Purple People Eaters!!!!

As the great Spartan leader Leonidas once said................SPARTANS ..........PREPARE FOR GLORY!!!

AHOO!!!  AHOO!!!  AHOO!!!

This is another "statement" victory.  It proves that Case is a legitimate playoff team, a legitimate Top 15 team, and a legitimate contender.......................NOT a flukish pretender.

To heck with strength of schedule................you can't get a STRONGER opening round victory than this!!!

GO CASE!!!

Coupled with W&J's win on a last minute field goal (only the third one all season) and three streight sacks of the JHU QB to end the game, a great day for the PAC!

Congrats to the PAC today!  2-0 -  what a great day.

Also reinforces how underrated Carnegie Mellon and Westminster were this season.

Great game by the o-line and Aaron Aguilar who carried the load after 1,000-yard rusher Jacob Burke was apparently injured in the first quarter. Got a big help though from IWU's punter who had trouble catching the snap. 

Muhlenberg kinda humbled CMU today.
