Re: Interview With President Assanis

Hey Cluck,
You're so far ahead can we just apply the mercy rule and end this.
Thanks in advance.

Re: CAA Tournament, Quarterfinal: Hofstra

Preach… Players think (could be right, it could be wrong) they owe nothing to coaches, programs & universities anymore! Why should it be a one-way street? If players can bail, coaches should be able to do the same! Absolutely. The portal cuts both ways. No reason at all for a coach to hang onto...

Re: UMass to the MAC

For sure the Hens jumped too late, way too late. But at least they finally did it. But the Hens were never going to compete against the P6/5/4 … whatever it is now with or without NIL. They will be competing against the G5. If UD can’t compete NIL wise with CUSA, SBC, etc … we are in trouble. I hav...

Re: UMass to the MAC

https://temple-news.com/the-outcome-is-the-outcome-temple-athletics-struggles-to-financially-adapt/ Interesting article. Thanks for posting Bobby. I suspect raising significant NIL money year in and year out will be a struggle for most G5 schools. I'm sure a few will be carried by a handful of suga...

Re: UMass to the MAC

Yes but the big boys will pay big boys big dollars just to come sit on the bench … finding good lineman is becoming the equivalent of finding the missing Malaysian airliner All relative CH. We aren't competing against the Big Boys-- we are competing against G5. We should go after the best of what's...

Re: UMass to the MAC

What happens when a big booster pays a shitload of money to a kid that just can't play? Does the coach sit him? How about when NIL recipients get hurt? Are the boosters buying insurance to cover this? I would also imagine that with NIL money, a lot of redshirting goes out the window. What if the kid...

UConn may be in the ACC before too long. That would change their attractiveness quite a bit.

Re: St. John's

Going to be a cold one on Saturday. Morning snow showers in Queens, NY, with a high of 37…but with a 15mph wind and 30mph gusts, so the game will be played with the wind chill in the 20s. When we build our IPF it should include enough seating to accommodate home lacrosse games as needed. TennHen ca...

Re: Kyre Hawkins

Certainly wasn't a hasty decision, but doesn't look like udsob97 was consulted either. I'll trust that Carty and Manny did their due diligence and made a good choice. Time will tell, but until proven wrong, it's a good hire.

Re: Future JMU Series

I am very pleased with the JMU series but it's not easy responding to naysayers who bring up the fact that the last 3 coaches do not have a winning record against the Dukes. College Game Day in Newark? What the heck, enjoy the fantasy . He's very pleased! And apparently talking to himself.

With $200M of athletic donations, why is Maine selling themselves to OU for a beatdown?

Dan, I believe transitioning teams count as FBS games.
