Re: 12/6 | Brown | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
Get used to the new normal…gone are the days of developing a team. This maybe a very frustrating year, where we will be saying, “if they just hit their FTs” a lot.

Re: Conference Realignment
Maybe schools like us can be D1 in Basketball, FCS in football and D2 for everything else and that could get you around the $30k issue? There has to be a loophole. Or you chop a bunch of sports…which would be very unfortunate. That would be the necessary impact- either cut sports or allow schools t...

And emptier than now. Will be able to move back to Keaney and get rid of the Ryan to expand the football stadium. We will be in the equivalent of FCS for basketball! No thanks. It’s basically the real division 2.

Re: 11/19 | Washington St | 3:30PM (ESPNU) | Hall of Fame Tip-Off
I find it interesting that the first 10ish minutes of the first game were a disaster and the last 10ish minutes of the second game were a disaster and we played reasonably well for the 60 minutes in between.

He was a proven builder/winner in the old system. This is new territory and I hope he can do it. I think success will be much more uneven a...

Thankfully I missed the second half meltdown. You can’t compare Hurley’s timeline to success with Archie’s. Archie has the new portal and was able to purge and add 9 new players, some with college experience. If this weekend is indicative of what we are in for this season, I’d say we are way behind ...
