Re: '16 NJ PF Kevin Marfo (GW Commit)
Agree with all your points except I don't think it will take 10 years before things change money-wise. Contracts are made to be renegotiated. Not sure about the Fox deal, but the A10's deal will be sweetened, possibly substantially, and maybe fairly soon. Of course, you're right, the A10 per team mo...

Re: The Patriot Way
This might seem obvious, but how do Pats receivers [especially Gronk] continually get wide open in the 2-3 seconds it takes for Brady to get rid of the ball? Because no one chucks them at the line anymore? Zone coverage? Cover 2 or whatever that means? Teams who can play a physical man to man defens...

Obram, URI [and the football program] need to start giving people reasons to KEEP the program, not get rid of it.

Re: Preseason Publications A10 Predictions
I think the "issue" is whether or not the BE is high or mid major.
I and most others are in the mid major camp for them. Doesn't really matter though.
We would be ranked higher than most of the BE, if they were included in those rankings anyway.
