/ has it ever happened?

When was the last time the NCAC had 3 ranked teams?

I hated to see that rain delay because I think it killed Hiram's momentum - but well played game by Waynesburg and good job on their part battling back

Quote from: HCAlum86 on September 17, 2025, 02:04:48 PMAny Waynesburg posters on here? Curious what their expectations are for this weekend.

Any Waynesburg posters on here? Curious what their expectations are for this weekend.

I was thrilled with the way Hiram played - though I fully realize it was against a badOberlin team - it was still a solid performance.

Quote from: DagarmanSpartan on August 27, 2025, 03:57:13 PMI guess I'll pick CWRU over Rowan, but not by much.  We'll see.

I was in University Circle earlier this week and decided to swing by and see if I could catch any of Case's practice... They look good. Very good.

I wasn't going to post that on here to avoid jinxing anyone - but I think they win by 10+

Quote from: mikefln on August 10, 2025, 02:43:28 PMHow I see it going into the season.

Heading into the season this is how I see it.

Top of the class:
Grove City
W&J

Contender:
Case Western
Westminster

Dark Horses:
Geneva- can they send Demarco off on a high note.

Pretender:
Waynesburg

Hoping to see important:

Allegheny
Bethany
Hiram
St. Vincent
Theil

Hiram returns a LOT of its production from last season. However, given that production was typically low - I'm not sure yet if that's a good or bad thing.

Hey all -

Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. Looking forward to this (somewhat) inaugural season

Absolutely absurd that the HC/ Witt game had to be postponed.

I'd love to let the student athletes from each team have 10 minutes alone in a room with the nut jobs making these threats

Let's just hope the Tigers don't eat any Terriers this weekend

Regarding Hiram, welcome back!  Since our resident Hiram fan lives in Cleveland, attending any Hiram v. CWRU game on the CWRU campus will be easy.

Look forward to renewing the conference rivalry!

I will be there!

Also, as a Hiram fan, I have to say that I'm thrilled about what Grove City's been able to accomplish - what an incredible turnaround.

Quote from: WashJeff68 on April 29, 2024, 11:36:14 AMSo Hiram rejoins the PAC which will, like Allegheny, enable them to save a bunch on travel, make life easier for their fan base to follow them on the road. and enable them to be more competitive athletically.  They have also lost enrollment (according to Niche they have just under 700 full time undergrad students) and are loosing money virtually every year. I suspect the NCAC will hardly notice that they are gone and not sure what they add to the PAC unless there are other shoes yet to drop.

Official total is around 950 and the school is on very solid financial footing. Having said that, I agree with the rest of your takes and look forward to the PAC.

Actual total reported to the U.S. Department of Education, though, is 684 full-time undergraduates.

Yep, we have some issues with our reporting that's being addressed with the new president - someone in the registrar's office is lazy, and that's the most diplomatic way I can say it lol. There are a few hundred commuter students who take reduced workloads (below 12 hours but usually above 9 and on campus everyday) and, Hiram has agreed to honor all of Notre Dame College's student credits following its closure. We currently have 75+ students enrolled from NDC, and anticipate at least a few dozen more before the fall semester.
