Matt and his two kids will fill part of the row up on Friday.

Blue Man - loved your comments about 205, especially the woman reading on her Ipad -that's my wife. She grudgingly comes to a game every decade. It wasn't Danielle Steel, but she did go on to play solitaire. Hopefully, the guy sitting next to her (me) did cheer, stand up before X nailed a three and ...

Had no time to post over the weekend. Everyone had insightful posts so there is not much to add. 1. Guards need to step up their defense. 2. Worried about outside shooting, Mike needs to take and make some outside shots. 3. When we made our run in the second half, most of the players on the floor we...

Time to fill up 205 - tomorrow!

neil

Nice time! Got to see some chatboarders. Rod is right, couldn't shake his hand because of the plates of food. Can't believe that McGovern was there. I'm so angry! When I was in high school I sent him a fan letter and he sent me back a URI decal with a handwritten letter. Anyway, only criticism was t...

neil

Thanks!!!!!!!!!
I'll start doing "my homework" this evening.

neil

Southern connecticut has an exhibition game against Uconn on Wednesday. It will be interesting to see how they compete.

neil

Needs to be closer to home???

neil

Thanks for all the great insights!

neil

Uptempo could also mean some full court pressure which might lead to easier baskets and more points per game. I think X will go over 16.

neil

I've decided to drive the hour forty five to go on the 30th. Unless grandchild number 7 is born on that day, I'll be there. I also need some help. Although I've been a contributor for many years I've never really attended this functions because of living so far away. Anyone going want to "show ...

Some thoughts from section 9 1. Great win with major contributions from special teams and defense. 2. At the beginning of the game, I think our d backs were playing off their receivers. Soon after they were picking them up right at the line. Nice change by our coaches on defense. 3. Offensive play s...

neil

I have a tape of the game and the rally at the beginning of the second half to temporarily take the lead was my favorite part. There was a play where Garrick was trapped in the corner, he drove around his man on the baseline where he was cut off, you can actually hear Evans yell "foul line chie...

Welcome fly to 205!

I literally spent five consecutive hours on the phone, continuously getting a busy signal, to try to get tickets to the Meadowlands. When I finally got through, nothing left. At that point, I was a donor and season ticket holder for thirteen years. Whatever, and yes, I thought Ferry got away with a ...

We lost to St. Michael's in 1968. I was a sophomore and it was Tom Carmody's opening game as head coach. I think the team lost their first six or seven games until they beat UNH.

neil

Thanks for all the work that you do!!!
We can also add a sixth component - what seed will they be in the dance?
Can't wait!

neil

A $750,000 buyout - I guess the big time schools can afford it. I wonder how much cash Uconn pulls in just for parking at their games? Different world!

neil

View from section 9 1. Great day! 2. I thought our offensive play selection was better. Bentsen threw a couple of long passes on first down. 3. Bensten had a good day. Only a couple of times did he force throws - one was intercepted and the other it looked like he didn't look at the receiver at all....

neil

If the guy from South Alabama was "that bad both on and off the field" then why did we take him? Central is not a great defensive team based on their first three games. Anything less than three touchdowns with the starting offense is unacceptable. Again, around three I would like to hear t...

neil

I think Coach Inglese is in her 5th year of a 5 year contract. One would think she needs, at least, to have a 500 record this year.

neil

Not to beat a dead horse but if we fall behind on Saturday, you might want to give someone else a chance at qb. Against W and M we are down 20 in the fourth quarter, wouldn't that have been a good time to get "someone else's feet wet".

neil

Two shutouts in four games. Could a different quarterback do any worse? Many of the Albany points came from special teams or the defense.

neil

I'm in with Rod also. It did say that coach was concerned that he might have scheduled too many tough road games along with PC and Southern Miss. Maybe an early barometer game might be at SMU. Last year, the team played a perfect game and defeated them quite easily. Different year, different teams -...

neil

I was at the one with Harrick. I took my 10 year old and almost got trampled in the lobby. The atmosphere was electric. I vote Keaney!

neil

Bring on Alabama!

Defense forcing turnovers was the difference. Did the offense sustain a long touchdown drive?

Go Rhody!

neil

I sense some "haunting" coming

neil

Do we have another play other than giving Semmes the ball?

neil

13-6 Offense needs to move the friggin ball!!

neil

One would think that whoever is in the Rutgers "bracket' would have a better shot at getting to the garden. Duke and Arizona create a far more difficult situation - (Alabama, the other bracket?)

neil

Couple of thoughts - 1. Defense will continue to improve this year. Giving up 24 points was very misleading. There was alot of gang tackling and getting to ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage. My seat is right above where the defensive players sit and they were positive/enthusiastic thoughout...

neil

A class act! Congrats, X!

neil

I will start another year at Meade. It would be real nice to get an upset. Say what you want, but they are student athletes who are basically playing for the love of the game and not heading to the NFL. It would be nice around three thirty that they race across the field and sing the fight song with...

neil

Great thread! Today was a religious holiday for me and there was a part of the service where you get a minute or two to pray silently. I went through all the health and happiness issues for my family and had a couple of seconds left, so...I thought about this thread and gave one last request. Might ...

Canisius just posted their 2013-14 schedule. They are also one of the 16 teams in the NIT preseason tournament. They did not mention what bracket they are in.

neil

Sorry if someone already mentioned this, but the second part of the preseason nit, if you don't go to the garden is on Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving. More chance (especially Monday) of getting some people in the seats. Anyway, I'd would really like to go to NYC instead. Go Rams!

neil

What is ICYMI?

neil

Also impatient, but don't you think the preseason NIT should have their games/schedule finished by now?!

neil

Alot of our offense is new, no real experience on receiving the ball. I have some serious doubts about us moving the ball, although I hope I'm wrong. Wins? I penciled in Central and Brown, and that might be a reach. Prove me wrong! Go Rams!

neil

Agree with most of the posts that our schedule is not that exciting. Let's just win games and see what happens. I know it's a long shot, but if we upset Arizona, we go to the garden to possibly play either Duke, Alabama or Rutgers. All of a suddent the schedule looks alot better. I would love to kno...

neil

I agree that there will be a couple more home games probably closer to cup cakes.Schedule is a good one. I'm just selfish and want more games to go to. And yes brown is a home game!

neil

my mistake, read the wrong dates (and years)

neil

If you go on the Arizona basketball site, it is stated that Arizona plays Kansas State in the first game of the preseason nit. If they win, they play the winner of the hofstra/new mexico state game. Unless, I am mistaken, there are four other teams (think of the Mohegan Sun last year when four teams...

neil

For whatever it's worth (not much), I could have moved my seats to a slightly better location. I chose to stay where I was.

neil

I will be in my same seats as last year

neil

It would be nice if others in 205 would joint Atp and myself and show some enthusiasm. There is NOTHING better than being on your feet and pointing to the opposing coach after the rams made a run knowing that he's going to call time. I have a hunch that will be happening much more this year!

neil

Not the best eval of the rams. That is okay, the best is yet to come!

neil

I thought during the practice last week they were using a 24 second shot clock for some of their "scrimmages". Obviously, coach is always prepared!

neil

Can we assume that this is a first of a home and home?

neil

I will go back to Rod's comment (and mine) For a freshman, Hassan showed some outstanding toughness, rebounding, and a fairly good short jumper. I know I might be reaching, but Hassan reminds me a little of the first time I saw ARD. I know Rod and I might argue about whether he could play the three ...
