I hate that the CAA is on FloSports, as is AHA hockey where Holy Cross plays. I think the reason the CAA partnered with Flo is because ESPN is much stricter when it comes to allowing local cable...

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...

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...

Definitely an NBA rule as well. I never liked it.

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...

I'm sure Virginia-Lynchburg will end up on there.

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...

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...

That's still a TV channel?

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...

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.

Quarterfinal...

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...

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?

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 don't study academic rankings at all, nor do I care that much. While they might gerrymander the acceptance rate, Northeastern I'm fairly certain has indeed grown tremendously in the rankings and as...

Meh, with the exception of the Ivy League, I don't think the general student population looks at athletic conference affiliation in determining where to attend university. Delaware will land wherever...

While I haven't formally made my prediction on Holy Cross, I think it's going to be a challenging season. I still think we have a pretty talented team that could in most years contend for a PL title....

Sign me up for Duquesne as a football affiliate.

I can't think of any schools in NJ that aren't already DI who would be good candidates to move to DI.

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.

I don't think...

Or LeMoyne....I like the Mercyhurst add. Would be only DI basketball and football program in Erie, which is a decent-sized city. Mercyhurst football not great on the field though, 2-9 in the very...

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.
