    Re: Patriot League Offseason Thread

    Lafayette has best shot IMO, especially if they can beat Buffalo and Monmouth both on the road in back to back weeks to start the season.

    Fordham also has Bowling Green, Dartmouth and Monmouth...

    Re: Patriot League Offseason Thread

    Our presumptive starter did go 2-0 last year, both comeback wins in key must-win league games. Will be interesting to see how he does this fall without Newman and Hanson blocking for him and without...

    Re: Latest NCAA Rule changes

    I agree. Although, I did just find out recently that the 2 minute warning was actually instituted in the early days of the NFL, when time was kept by an official on the field using a stopwatch. Since...

    My freshman year at HC was the 06-07 PL title run in MBB with Torey Thomas an Keith Simmons. I remember thinking I was seeing the norm when it came to HC basketball expectations in the Patriot...

    Both of those runs also did coincide with traditional league powers being down during that time. Lehigh and Colgate in football during Holy Cross' football run + Bucknell and Holy Cross in basketball...

    Re: Rebirth of California football?

    I don't think a DI CA school has added football during my lifetime. UC Davis moved up from DII in the early 2000's but that's about it.

    From what I've heard, California does have a decent "Friday...

  10. Re: Are you ready for some football (FCS Championship style)?!?

    I like this as an FCS fan who anticipates being a TV viewer. If I'm an SDSU or NDSU fan and my team has a 50/50 chance of actually going, I'm upset because it kind of messes up the ability to make a...
  11. Re: Are you ready for some football (FCS Championship style)?!?

    That's the one that hurts. One of my guilty pleasures of the sports calendar is that Friday night in December where there's really nothing on except back-to-back FCS playoff games.

    Curran may be the one who faces the most unrealistic expectations. If we're not competing with the Dakota schools by year 3, some of the fan base will begin to get restless. Fortunately, the...

    Re: FCS over FBS Scalp Watch 2024

    My understanding is that UConn is slowly getting a little bit better year over year. This matchup does remind me of Fall 2021 though. Holy Cross beats UConn 38-28 to to open the season in Storrs. A...

    Will the financial windfall from eclipse tourism in Erie be enough to bankroll a nice new downtown arena for Mercyhurst hoops and hockey?

    Re: NEC expansion

    The quality of play is definitely better in today's NEC. Facilities across the board are basically high school though, especially the basketball gyms.

    I think the PL will continue to get a little bit deeper next year. Lafayette, Holy Cross, Colgate and Fordham should all be decent to good. Does Lehigh make a marked turnaround in 2024 or are we...

    MEAC could get a shot in the arm if A&T and Hampton come back, which they should IMO. The HBCU are stronger together and it behooves those two to go all in on the Celebration Bowl.

    RMU left in all-sports to go to the Horizon League. Less travel -- easier to get to Indiana and Michigan from western PA than it is to get to CT. Highly doubt they'd come back.
