Re: Game #22, Senior Night: Rams v Dayton Flyers, Tuesday Feb 16, 7pm CBSSN

How in the holy hell did Dayton get that TO? It was like 0.05 seconds from when the guy picked up the ball to when he heaved it aimlessly.

Yup, the only way Fordham leaves is if they decide to. And despite their men's basketball team being shamed year after year and cycling through has-been coaches, the administration has no issue going "thank you may I have another" rather than having some dignity and giving themselves a cha...

My first game at the PCC was 1998 vs Kenyon Martin and Cincinnati, don't remember if I took the bus up or got a ride from campus.

I sent in our mail ballot applications and am looking forward to voting YES. Just need to convince the missus in the meantime so our household vote isn't split. She seems to be less generous with the bond questions than I am, but listens to me on those I'm especially passionate about.

Jeff Dowtin is the extreme example the other way...I thought he deferred too much as a senior and could have forced the issue more often rather than trying to get Fatts et al to cook on offense. Dowtin didn't have much choice. Cox took one of the best point guards we've ever had and made him an off...
