We had a better CAA record than Delaware. So if Delaware's in-conference losses don't matter, our losses to W&M and UNH by one play should not matter. If you are going to pick 5 from the CAA you pick us.
I think the fact that Delaware will get 16,000 fans was the deciding factor.

Re: Toll Gantries
I heard this on one of the talk radios this week.
The reason RI can put up tolls on highways funded mostly by Federal money is that the Fed allows tolls on bridges.
The RI tolls are including highway overpasses as bridges, for me a stretch.
Is this true?
