My 4th PTKU #CharitibundiBowl donation to edsbscharitybowl.com is in honor of the 2016 CWRU squad, with QB coach Dave DiCarlo, one of my favorite teachers at Heights High. CWRU beat WashU with 435 rushing yards because if you’re the QB coach, you run the ball. obits.cleveland.com/us/obituarie...

Our third PTKU #CharitibundiBowl donation is in honor of the undefeated 1984 CWRU team, quarterbacked by Fred DiSanto, who lettered in 3 sports all 4 years. The team was not invited to the NCAA Division III playoffs, despite beating qualifier Washington & Jefferson 34-16 on the road in October.

My second PTKU #CharitibundiBowl donation is in honor of the CWRU victory over CMU in Oct 74 22-15 resulting in the headline of the Observer of “Spartans Slice Mellon”. newspapers.case.edu?a=d&d=OBS197... CWRU beat CMU only 2x in the 70s, and went winless after this game for almost two years.
