I can't believe this has slid under the radar so much, but with the Tribe, Browns, and work - I haven;t caught the best story (so far) of Cleveland sports.
I was waking up this morning, lying in bed watching ESPNEWS, when the ticker rolled by.... Division III playoffs start on Saturday:
"Widener at Case Western Reserve"
Wait, what? How did this happen?
Apparently, we are the #18 ranked team in Division III. We won the UAA this year (and finally beating those inbreds from Carnegia Mellon, 20-17, in OT. We ended up 10-0, and are rewarded with our first playoff appearance ever.
(Which is odd...if I have a chance, I check the USA today for the Division III scores to see how Case did, and I swear I thought I saw a loss for them this year. I guess I was wrong!)
Our first round game is Saturday at noon vs. Widener. Who the hell is Widener? I have no idea.
What a proud day for Case sports. Wow. The closest moment like this that I can remember was in 2002, when we made the Women's Basketball Tournament - and won a first round game on a half court shot.
The field of 32 is announced here: just 5 wins to the Championship!
Go Spartans! (And, since I am biased here (Case '93, G'94), I need someone else to set the line. Do they have lines for Div III playoff games? Derek? Wiz? Leland? Don? Anyone want to set a line?)
