Casey Cramer Claimed by the Titans

The guess that Casey Cramer would be back in the NFL after being waived by the Carolina Panthers didn't take long to come true. The former Dartmouth tight end was claimed over the weekend by the Tennessee Titans, who had him on their practice squad before he left two years ago to join the Panthers. ...

His Wildcats play those other Wildcats this weekend. Another prediction: UNH will score more points against Northwestern than Miami did ;-)
