Also fantastic new video scoreboard at CWRU.

Pumped for the CWRU-Allegheny game, heading over there soon.  Beautiful day in Cleveland for some football.

Also CWRU does a great job with football programs:  https://athletics.case.edu/documents/2025/10/7/2025_FB_program_ALL.pdf

Some photos from the John Carroll - Case Western Reserve scrimmage:  https://www.news-herald.com/2025/08/30/photos-john-carroll-case-western-reserve-football-scrimmage-aug-30-2025/ (paywall, but super good deal right now)

What are some of the scrimmages we have on the docket for the PAC?

I know CWRU - John Carroll is this weekend.   Always a good backyard battle.   

Welp ... watching CWRU football games will require a streaming service subscription:

But it will be interesting to see the production quality difference this year. (which I assume there will be!)

^ Solid season preview.  Thanks for posting.

This quote is spot on:

"The first three games are extremely challenging with non-conference contests at traditionally strong teams in Rowan and Wabash, along with Westminster. We have to be ready to play those first three games," said Debeljak. "And I think the top-third of our league is as good as any in the country, so it will be a challenge as always. But, you know that if you make the playoffs, you have already faced three or four playoff-level teams."

D-3 softball player will compete on a new American Ninja Warrior episode tonight:

^ Just found the Box Score of the last time the two teams played against each other in 2008.
https://athletics.case.edu/sports/football/stats/2008/wabash/boxscore/1228

Case took the lead with 1:52 left in the 4th quarter, then Wabash overcomes a 4th-15 and proceeds to drill a 52-yard touchdown pass to win the game with 0:48 left ... to advance in the playoffs:

Found the painful end of the game ... VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXkhPjtgMpM&t=4626s

Side note: CWRU has a "Ninja Warrior" on its roster:  https://uaasports.info/news/2024/8/13/karen-potts-of-cwru-softball-advances-to-american-ninja-warrior-season-16-finals.aspx

Quote from: phil on March 04, 2025, 07:36:30 PMI was there for all the fun! CWRU beat #1 ETBU, #2 Linfield, #5 Belhaven, and #6 Tufts ... only losing 2-1 to #10 Trine.

The Belhaven game was a wild one - down 10-0 and hitless after three innings, CWRU rallied for a 15-13 win.

CWRU is now ranked #2 in the latest NFCA rankings.

Seriously ... not a bad start to the season defeating #1, #2, #5, and #6 for CWRU...! The roster is stacked this year with so much returning talent.

WOW...that Academic Bowl was a thriller.  There were several key plays in the fourth quarter that could have flipped the game one way or the other.  That was a battle...

Good luck to CMU and the PAC in the playoffs.

@jdpiv ... just wanted to say WELCOME!!

I did not realize how large the Westminster roster is!  130+ players!?

Case Western Reserve: https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sidearm.nextgen.sites/casewestern.sidearmsports.com/documents/2024/10/22/fb_WES_game_notes24.pdf

Interesting stat ... WC and CWRU statistically have the top two pass defenses in the country.

And WC looks like they are hitting their stride in recent games.

Here's to an entertaining battle this Saturday.

^ Relatedly -- I am most excited about the CMU @ W&J.

This is probably the D3 Game of the Week.

I suppose enjoy these games before they are gone...
