.... Especially since they get W&J at home and during the day.
Actually, thanks to CWRU & CMU joining the PAC, Thomas More plays AT W&J next year, Oct. 4, and it's a 7 pm kickoff.

Gang,

I'm looking forward to seeing CWRU join the PAC as a football affiliate next season.  This season was a disappointment in some respects, but we at least managed to salvage a winning record, and a 2nd place finish in the UAA.

We'll be looking to replace Erik Olson at QB next season, but Billy Beecher should be able to do the job.  I hope that we'll be able to be competitive, and look forward to discussing the conference race.  Best of luck!

As I see it, 9 conference games for the new 11-team PAC.  Kinda reminds me of the old MAC.  No St Vincent?

Who plays 10 conference games this year?

Ralph Turner

Remember when the PAC was a 5-team conference?

CWRU and CMU only play eight, then WUStL and UChi.

Could be like the bad old days of the NCAC when teams didn't all play the same number of conference games.

Signing day is pretty meaningless for D3, but there are always a few announcements and faux signings.  The PD reports these commitments:

Alex Habeeb (Avon)  5'9 195 LB   Div II Dist HM
     http://www.hudl.com/athlete/525305/alex-habeeb#
Pete Lemaster (Chardon)  6' 190 LB/DE  Div III Dist 2nd Team
     http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/2626123/highlights/98477377
Anthony Canganelli (Mayfield)  5'9 185  RB/P  '13 DivII Dist 2nd Team P   '12 2nd Team RB
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/2099571/highlights/102504378

Canganelli looks to be quick, reportedly 4.5/40 and 11.03/100, but tough, also played LB and benches 300 and squats 450.  Looks like he could fill either Sicre or Lapcevic's shoes in 2015.

But the big news, both literally and figuratively, is St Ed LG Gage Blair (6'1 275), a two year starter, has committed to CWRU, despite having offers reported on the St Ed's site from Penn, Davidson, and Hopkins.  http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/676210/highlights/1


From other sources:

Jacob Burke (Johnstown Northridge) RB/LB 6-1 215  Dist IV HM as Jr injuries limited sr year
     http://www.ncsasports.org/football-recruiting/oh/johnstown/northridge-high-school-johnstown/jacob-burke5
     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocyMMORLIRE

Another big lineman  Ryan DeMarinis (Westwood MA) '6-2 290
     http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/786753/highlights/77894380

With the SoCal QB previously noted the critical needs of QB, OL, and RB look to be being met early.  There are two more linemen and an All-Ohio QB who have expressed interest, but have yet to commit.

This is the most commitments I have seen this early and Debs, who is typically pessimistic during recruiting is said to be very pleased and thinks there are 4-5 commits who could contribute right away.

I just noticed that the UAA and PAC boards are both on page 213.  Kinda spooky.

I was in Cleveland this weekend for mother's weekend at my son's fraternity.  Case had it's football banquet and Debs announced that he had 10 commitments so far.  He mentioned that is a rather large number of commitments for this time of year.  He seemed very optimistic.

I really don't know why anyone lives here.  It's cold.

This would still create a problem. The nine remaining teams with nine games each creates 81 results. You need to have an even number of results (a winner and a loser for each game) (CMU and CWRU have 16 results of their own still causing an odd number). This means someone is a) playing 8 conference games, b) playing 10 conference games, or c) like the Midwest Conference did for the past two years, Lawrence played ten conference games but one of them didn't count as conference for LU but did count as conference for the opponent.

PAC schools will play 8 conference & 2 non-conference games in 2014.
Some schools may play "non-conference" games against PAC opponents.
I believe that is the case with W&J/Westminster for the 2014 season.

This from someone that's a graduate of Alfred University?

(for the record, I agree with the disdain for the cold - I love Pittsburgh, but I really think I'd be all right with snow once a year on Christmas and then never again)

I think that only happened once, in 2003.  Kenyon decided to take a timeout from league play that season so everybody who had Kenyon on the schedule either played them in a game that didn't count for league standings or didn't play them at all (Wabash and Wittenberg both had to scramble to fill that 10th game...both landed on first-year program Huntingdon as a last minute substitute).
