This is a special group of talent-+ one more

http://www.gorhody.com/sports/m-footbl/ ... 1009j13xo4


I cannot remember a crew like this since 84-85 championship teams.
McKeenan needs to be added to this mix.
He needs more touches for team to have chance.
5-6 receptions per game for him.

I mean,come on!!

Re: Stony Brook Capital Projects

Cameron-good points. What I do not understand is Pres. Dooley wants the state to use the resources (students) at the school more,get the turf majors to make the field look good !! http://www.uriturf.org/degree.html

The turf majors could not make a 120 X say 70 field look great?

Tailgating is good or very good at Meade,not great. I see a lot of the same faces at FB games regardless of the policy. Attendance was great ( for a team that one game) last year,not good. A big part of that is the marketing,URI has done a very good job with its outreach. Part of that is scheduling,...

Peter-that close game against Syracuse was the worse thing that could have happened to them that year.
Play hard with nothing to show for it. Reinforced their mindset. Would have been better off getting beat 50-0.
