Even now, the I-A is a lukewarm believer in LDW games. Half of the six-team league will be idle this weekend.
So, what has been the strangest byproduct of early-season football? Easy. The curious case of Ehramis Chism.
In '07, 2 weeks of games were played before classes commenced in the public schools. Chism, a freshman quarterback, made his varsity debut in Week 2 for Overbrook and then transferred to University City, where he played the rest of the season. Thus, he represented a school he never attended!
... To that point, that is. He again played for 'Brook last season.
