"- but that doesn't mean you have to willingly get your head kicked in"

Not that it matters,but UMASS FB looked really good last weekend.

Brian Forster

"Ah yes, the idea that reducing the size of the athletic department will somehow magically increase the amount of budget athletics gets. Brilliant." Per an alum,when BU dropped FB one argument was the influx of cash would go to the other programs and would take off like a rocket. Then they...

Brian Forster

good questions. 1. I should have phrased it-Mamudi was a non factor before his injury. 2. Buchanan is doing OK at WR,will have to see if steps it up when games start. 3. Neal & Burby can be two of the best linemen in the country. The position group played well in summer. Vs.a Rams O line that is...

Brian Forster

most of the surprises are positions where they rotate
so not as major as thought

Brian Forster

1. really like the back up QB Farrell. No concern who is playing 2 Sloat has gotten faster. At least 4 deep at RB,no concern who is playing. They have somewhat different styles. 3. OL & DL transfers from BC & VT non factors 4. Depina Gray is great athlete. Frosh walk on 5. 4 of the 10 DBs ar...

Brian Forster

some surprises on depth chart for sure.
Got to make some phone calls

Brian Forster

"Gabe Sloat has gone from 3rd down back to starting RB with Jaden Griffin his backup"

wow

Brian Forster

Can't imagine why?
Is Warren still on a roster?

Brian Forster

Warren would catch at least 6 passes against Ga. State.
A road grader blocking too.

Brian Forster

Looks great. Huge projects.
Getting killed in media though for being in progress during the season.

Brian Forster

UMass 41
New Mexico State 20

Albany 34
Fordham 13

Look good

Brian Forster

People-GA . State is previewed to be average this season. (Which doesn't mean a thing).
But seems like a lot of points (if holds) given Rhodys expectations.

Brian Forster

Men-Getting insider reports of Ga. State-12.5?
sounds high.
lets see if it holds.

Brian Forster

Same Steve. Got UMASS today and season wins over.

Brian Forster

The writer probably has not visited many gyms/arenas.
Been to Fordham and the only noteworthy thing about the arena itself is that there is a bar right underneath it.
Other than that,its kind of a high school facility.

Brian Forster

"He wasn’t perfect in coverage, allowing seven catches for 65 yards"

At least he is consistent.

Brian Forster

So long as its at Bryant's expense.
Their home facilities are terrible.

Brian Forster

Ramster-Rhowdy is right on this one.
You are making too much of his leaving.
Bonner was good runner,but waaay too much circumstantial going against him to be starting QB .

Brian Forster

wow!!

Brian Forster

The QB from Va Tech looks great.
Better passer than Bonner.

Brian Forster

Let's say Fordham gets $500K...how big of a piece of their overall sports budget is that?

less than 5%?
$25M is typical minimum budget to try and be competitive in D1

"Apparently you can get in the playoffs by throwing 56% with 27 INTs." FmrRam-yes-there are exceptional outliers. The above stats are per CAA. It shows the Rams 3rd from the bottom in passing? The statement was made by others (on and off board) that a team is not typically going to make th...

Stats don't really support your argument against URI's pass coverage.
Let's see a team get in the playoffs throwing 54%

Brian Forster

Eckhaus,Zevi 22 37 271 3 0 27 10 Muskett,Tony 18 29 249 3 1 47 4 Even some (all?) of the less experienced QBS threw for higher % s . In fairness to Hill,he was not throwing against the Rams dysfunctional secondary. Of course their % would be higher vs. URIs DB's last year. Reece Udinski - Richmond -...

Brian Forster

Hill will have to play better to make the playoffs.
For an FBS starter,his passing % is waaay off the other CAA QBs who made the playoffs?
He should be toying with people. Lot of weapons around him last season.

Brian Forster

"I had no issues with Davey. Decent length and regularly placed it inside the 20" Davey was consistent. In his frosh year,he dropped a snap vs. Ohio a toddler could have caught. My favorite memory of Davey,a four year starter (?) who did not even make third team all CAA once,in the big Elo...

Brian Forster

Both kicking & punting were terrible last season.
Not playoff caliber or really even college level kicking.

"as the duties were handled by Harrison Leonard and Michael DeBolt, both of whom left the program at the end of the year. "

Thank god!!

Brian Forster

I didn't know that three of our guys on the line ended up in FBS There was an issue with last Dline coach. He's gone too. The transfers were good players who helped. Not irreplaceable. They got a transfer from FAU. Some of the kids coming up are huge.Could be effective if they rotate them. Really li...

big time depth.
don't see Arrington?
heard he is back,listed on roster.

Brian Forster

No disrepect to PC's runners,but that's not a track & field program.
The # of events they do not have performers or facilities for are too numerous to mention.

Brian Forster

Rhowdy-Thank you !! I am not blaming you for PC's web site E & O. Never seen a track & field roster & complex like it unless a newbie HS program. Surprised given since that's' a comparative goal Thorr is mentioning the throws events. https://www.tfrrs.org/results/78524/Friar_Invitational...

RhodySK Before we get too far, isn’t the south end zone (where there is the most room ) is considered unbuildable because of an Indian burial ground? -No,small spot up against the west side walkup ramp. been there for years. Plenty of wasted space at Meade. The "stadium" has somehow contra...

Brian Forster

Along with baseball & football,PC does not even have a track and field program?
Unless the roster needs to be updated?

Brian Forster

PC's is just a training facility?

It does not appear to be legit? Basically a cow pasture?
Just look at their roster?

I could be missing something?

EMU has done pretty well since this joke.
Haha

Brian Forster

JCru-Amen for the most part. FB is not remotely close to being fully funded,how is it running a surplus? The $$ from the buy games comes out of the the players hide, not the gravy. This helps take the pressure off the other programs for finding creative ways to get $$. just get distributed so that i...

Brian Forster

Does the $ we give specifically to fb or mbb in donations or ticket sales also get equally divided amongst all teams?
The school wants you to donate to the Athletic dept. general fund and they select where it goes.
Other than that you have to ear mark it. Not sure on ticket sales.

Brian Forster

Hypothetical...I know the numbers are probably way off NYG-you are absolutely right. Strictly hypothetical and your #s are waaay off. "Giving and funding" are both semantics for the conveyance. Neither is correct. I have anybody say "funding" it should not be taken literally. Nei...

Naah Harvard-since you are the one making the totally baseless claim,am not going to do your work for you. However,since you actually accepted the bet,I will honor my end of $250 and lower yours to $50. Easy $$ (for me). I will give you a head start-the $$ for the FB buy games goes to the Athletic D...

Brian Forster

Harvard- i will bet you a $250 donation to sport of choice it's true-you down?
one nickel of FB $$ .

Brian Forster

Harvard-ask Thorr.
it's no secret.

Brian Forster

Ask Thorr.

Will South County walk up ticket sales fill a 13000 seat stadium? Nobody goes to the games now and there is not a lot of interest in FB. Can't see what the concern would be regarding future attendance. Despite the lack of support for FB, the gridders have been giving all the sports $$ including bask...
