- North Carolina -- SU, Wed April 06, 2005 09:38:25 [18]
It must be said that North Carolina is a worthy second successor to the Syracuse Orange. UNC is a great team. Syracuse was not fortunate this year, however great credit must be given to a team that that only lost by 3 to an eight man opponent. Apparently the refs were totally for Vermont. Two bad calls, a technical foul on Warrick for hanging on the rim (I've only seen this called once before-it was against St. Bonaventure in an NCAA game that preceeded ours in Cleveland a few years ago and cost the Bonnies a game against Kentucky), and a second bad call for a backcourt violation on a play where Syracuse never had possession of the ball in forecourt were too much to overcome. Also, Hakkem and Jerry were mugged all night and no calls. Fordham, it did not go unnoticed that you revelled in our defeat to Vermont. You are on notice. Should your basketball program ever improve to the point where it would earn an invitation to play in the Dome, Fordham will have to be punished.

- SU, If the dictionary used a picture to illustrate the word "arrogance," your face would be there. Making excuses for a humiliating loss--and whining about bad calls by refs--is what one expects from losers, not from a championship program. Have you ever read anything by the psychologist Alfred Adler? He talks about the psychological mechanisms of "compensation," and how people with a sense of inferiority often vacillate between boastfulness & bullying on the one hand--and whining & rationalization on the other. Your psychological characteristics seem quite similar to those of the self-important felons/bullies who typically play for Syracuse. (NT) -- Headshrinker, Wed April 06, 2005 11:05:26

- There was incredibly a small kernel of truth in SU's otherwise inane rant: "it would earn an invitation to play in the dome". To his (her?) credit, he makes no effort to assume that a Syra-lose OOC game would be played anywhere else.

- Annual Dinner -- GMeagherFC74, Wed April 06, 2005 13:27:32 [2]
The Annual Dinner at the Waldorf was resounding success. Father McShane has proved to be a worthy successor to the great Father O'Hare. I was lucky to have a few words with John Bach, FC 48, who was a great Fordham player and a Boston Celtic then our coach and athletic director. Coach Bach who spent a few years in the Navy during the War before finishing his studies is a class act and still at over 80 a stunning physical presence. He pointed out that it was he who recruited Charlie Yelverton, Jack Burik and Billy Mainor, the heart of our great 1971 team. He said that he never wanted to leave Fordham but when Brooklyn Prep's Joe Paterno called from Penn State with an offer to more than double his then $13,500 salary, he couldn't refuse given the 5 children he had at home. John was with his old player John Anderaise, the Knick announcer and restauranteur Buzzy O'Keefe of River Cafe and Water Club fame. It was also great to see Giants owner Wellington Mara. It was a great night and the remarks by Charles Osgood who has a son at Fordham now and a daughter who is an alumnae, and Countrywide Finance founder Angelo Mozzillo,were compelling and humourous. Surprisingly, Coach Bach said that St. Simon Stocks'Danny Lyons was a more talented player than his teammate Ed Conlin.

We will be holding our last scholarship until the Fall, unless we get a strong transfer over the summer. We've been contacted by several attractive possible transfers but there have not been formal releases yet from their schools. Jermaine Anderson will back up KA at the point next season.

- No, that's not at all what I mean. When KA needs a blow, Jermaine will replace him at the point, whether he moves over from the 2 or comes in, depending on the situation. I did not mean to infer that Jermaine won't start. At the beginning of the season, all positions are wide open and Jermaine will get plenty of playing time. Remember, we'll have two more scholarship players on our roster next season than we did last year. We lose Mushon but get Bethel, Phillips and Devine. This gets us closer to a squad that can be utilized in the manner that DW prefers - a ten man rotation to run, press and play some Kamikaze D to wear down our opponents.

Among the snippets - Odom did not receive an offer, is upset about the Washington Post article yestreday, and is even more upset that Andy Katz called him at 6:45 am to ask about it. Bottom line is that it's far from clear who UVA will pick. (NT) -- TNRam, Tue April 05, 2005 08:54:07

- There's an opening at UVA? I'm on it! (NT) -- Gonzo, Tue April 05, 2005 10:32:04
- It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at SC that Odom would have an interest in the UVA job. He was Terry Holland's top assistant at UVA in the late 80s. Holland advocated that Odom replace him there as head coach, but when UVA opened up the search Odom took the Wake Forest job. The current SC AD, Mike Magee, is stepping down in June. Heard Steve Weisman, sports writer for The State (Columbia, SC's newspaper) talk about the situation last night, and his take is that Odom is a second-tier choice for UVA. UVA is seeking a "big name" coach to re-energize the UVA fan base and help fill its new arena. Weisman thinks, however, that if UVA can't get that higher-profile coach, it will pick Odom. One other point he mentioned was that the initial reaction to the Washington Post article from fans on the UVA message board re Odom's possible hiring was largely negative. Makes you wonder if someone at UVA floated out a trial balloon to the Post to gauge what fan reaction would be. (NT) -- TNRam, Wed April 06, 2005 08:58:04

- Do you say that because the reference to olives pertains to the Holy Land, the home of the Jews, and Cardinal Lustiger is of Jewish descent? Some Benedictines think that the prophesy means that the next pope will come from their order, because they have an olive on their shield, and are also known as the Olivetans. St. Benedict himself is supposed to have predicted that a Benedictine would lead the Church in the days leading up to its final fight against evil. If you believe the prophecies, the next pope may be the last pope before Peter II, whom Malachy is said to have predicted would preside over the end of time. Of course, then there is the whole issue of authenticity. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Tue April 05, 2005 06:56:38

With two additional clubs (the St. Louis Billikens and the Charlotte 49ers) joining the A-10 Conference, for the 2005-2006 season, some of the conference games will be scheduled as home and away games, and others, as single games. The questions that come to mind are: (1) How is it determined exactly which conference members play a home and home series, and which clubs only play a single game ? (2) With regard to both conference and non-conference games, if only one game is scheduled, how is the home team determined ?

- I think that 'Nova was a one-time deal (but not 100% sure). As for the A-10, the league assigns 3 schools that a team will play home-and-home. I don't know if there is a mathmatical formula but the general idea is to help weaker teams play other weak teams so their schedules aren't too tough. I think these are 2 year arrangements and the league reassigns after that. For the next 2 years, we have been assigned Bonas, Duquesne, and URI. (NT) -- bfg, Sun April 03, 2005 18:18:19

- That clears up Question #1. Any schedule scholars out there want to take a shot at Question #2 ? (NT) -- Home Advantage, Sun April 03, 2005 23:50:36
- to answer "just askin's" Q, the A-10 used a 2 division format during the past few years, so we played teams in our division home-and-home regardless of how good/bad they were. That changes next year when we add Charlotte and SLU and go to a one-division 14-team league. As for how the sites are determined for the teams we play only once, I'm not sure but it will probably involve some geographic balance. I imagine that we'll go to Ohio once and play either X or UD and the other school will come to the Bronx. It's not really important b/c we will play equal number of home and away games and those temas that we play on the road will come to Rose Hill in the following year. (NT) -- bfg, Mon April 04, 2005 08:32:52
- As far as I know, other than the three A-10 teams that we'll play home-and-home, the league will determine where the remaining 10 conference games will be played. I suppose (for television and venue availability reasons - i.e. Saint Louis' use of the Savvis Center) we probably won't hear anything of the conference schedule until September. Once they determine those 10 games for this season, I believe the sites for those games would be reversed for next season (i.e. if we play Temple at home this season, we play them in Philly the next season). As far as the non-conference games are concerned, for lack of a better description, those games are simply based on how well you can negotiate dates/times/sites with other schools. Other than determining the calliber of schools we could play (in order to maintain the conference's overall RPI), the A-10 generally has little/no say in non-conference schedules.

- Slambacker, you have to realize that while most of RB's initial posts are informative, and reveal an erudite understanding of the material covered in this forum, his rebuttals, particularly in response to posts contrary to his opinions, are often vindictive and puerile. RB also seems to possess a strong need to be correct, all the time, and to always have the last word. If RB were a callow adolescent, this behavior might be forgiven as youthful exuberance. If RB is an adult (chronologically), a serious problem is in evidence, as this panoply of behaviors indicates the manifestation of an OCD. It would be advisable for RB to seek professional help concerning this matter, or, as our Native Americans view children and the insane, with kindness, perhaps he might consider living on an Indian reservation !

- As basketball season wanes... I was wondering if we can open up the lacrosse debate... -- Ram1, Sun April 03, 2005 14:10:04 [12]
Given Fordham's location, it seems LaCrosse would be a great fit.. Of course there would be a budget commitment (also Title IX consideration), but I think it would be a great opportunity. Also, now that we will have a new playing surface, Coffey's wear & tear is much less of a concern.. Given the relatively lower # of schools that play LaCrosse seems as if we could potentially jump in the fold quickly (at least from the perspective of playing a nice schedule..)...And btw Im not a lacrosse guy- I just think it's an interesting opportunity..

- The sport is picking up tremendously, and not just in the typical hotspot areas (Long Island, Maryland and Philadelphia) either. There is a good amount of competition around the country now, and more and more grade schools are offering lax as a Spring Sport. A friend of mine who owns an indoor soccer arena also has started with year round lax leagues for youth. He said it is by far the most populated league he has, and he turns away kids due to lack of field time. We'd be foolish given our location, easy access to recruits, and lack of field space the sport takes up not to change our club program into a Div. 1 team. (NT) -- Ram04, Sun April 03, 2005 16:19:00
- This may not be a bad men's sport to add. Since our male population seems to be dwindling it might be good for Fordham to investigate this. Also, it seems like mostly schools with better academic reputations offer this as a sport with scholarships. This may be a way for us to compete with these schools for academically qualified men. I know there may be Title 9 implications but I am sure there must be someway to accomodate this. (NT) -- JCMB, Sun April 03, 2005 18:38:01

- As much as it would be nice to have lacroose, don't you thinkg we first need to be able to get our EXISTING PROGRAMS experience some winning records.

- Chaka, I agree. Let's work on our existing programs before expanding into new areas. The cost & Title IX implications of adding lacrosse would be a major hurdle--especially if we ever decide to go scholarship football. Who knows? If this west-side stadium is for real, maybe Fordham could eventually move to Division 1A, and play some opponents like BC and Army in front of decent-sized crowds. Of course, Fr. McShane seems dubious about this (whatever his feelings on lax) and, at best, this would be years in the future. Yet, In both academics and athletics, I'd rather see us doing a few things well rather than trying to do more things in a mediocre way. (NT) -- JCC, Mon April 04, 2005 14:36:22

- Yes, that would be a nice place to start....but a lot more than better-painted walls and brighter lighting are required. Quality of life issues are very important to recruiting students in an increasingly competitive marketplace. While it may seem an incredibly silly issue to include in college selection, the reportedly poor food at Fordham figured in the decision of a few young people I know who decided to go elsewhere. Our campus is beautiful and our academics are first-rate, but many other aspects of campus life (including athletics) need a lot of improvement. (NT) -- Ram'98, Sat April 02, 2005 23:56:25

The Jesuits eat only premium-quality stuff, but a Princeton survey rated the food Fordham gives its student body as nearly the worst campus food in the country (I believe it was rated fourth from the bottom). It's perfectly reasonable that a prospective resident student would take this into account when college-shopping. Opportunities for fitness, recreation, entertainment AND good food are all quality-of-life amenities that sophisticated students expect (along with first-rate academics) when they plunk down tens of thousands of dollars. (NT) -- Ram'98, Sun April 03, 2005 10:41:41
- When FU students in the early 60's had a "belly full" of inferior and overpriced Campus Center food, they organized a boycott of the cafeteria. Students ferried in huge boxes of sandwiches from Willie's and other nearby delis, and the cafeteria soon surrendered--committing itself to better food and more reasonable prices. Alas, Willie's is long gone, and Sodexho Marriott has locked the majority of students into meal plans, so I guess students will just have to grin and bear it. Fordham should, however, look for a new vendor whenever their Sodexho Marriott contract expires. My son went to another metropolitan area college serviced by a company named Lackman. The food was 100% better than Sodexho Marriott. And, while we're at it, we should look for a replacement for Barnes & Noble which also has a stangle-hold on Fordham....but that's another story.

- Nova Persepective -- Chaka, Wed March 30, 2005 20:49:25 [28]
Pertaining to the perspective on FU Alum's feelings about Villanova:
1. I'm too young to know about the Porter or Digger stuff but apparently it is somewhat disturbing yet legitimate.
2. Yes there is some jealousy about Nova being in the Big East, & why not it is a better conference. Too bad our Admin didn't jump when the BE Door of opportunity presented itself.
3. Snobby... Absolutely. I grew up just minutes from Nova. It is nice school, extremely even par with FU but the kids students act like they are from Harvard. Drop the attitude.
4. Jay Wright. Once again we lost out on a solid, charasmatic coach who would be a great fit at FU, but our Admin couldn't get it done. Jealousy rings it's ugly ahead again & deservedly so. Wright has done a nice job & we ended up Sponge Bob Armani Pants. Hill set our program back about 10 years.
5. Some of us Football Fans remember the beating our beloved Rams took when we played the Cats in 1991-93?, when Coach Talley ran up the score on us. Keep in mind that there wereonly 5 catholic Schools playing Div. I or I-AA or FB at this time at FU was coached by Larry Glueck, a Nova Grad and Nova Hall of Famer. Talley is the biggest creep in college football. My three favorite college football teams are 1. Fordham, 2, Tennessee, and 3. whoever is playing Villanova.
6. A sizable portion of their strudent body comes from N. NJ and NY which is competition for FU, so rivalries exist but these kids seem to think Villanova is the mecca. (see #3, it is a very good school, but no better than Fordham and not Ivy League).
7. Facilities: Granted Nova does not have thee greatest facilities, they are substantially better than FU's. Personally I kinda like the ski lodge as it is cozy, unique, & has an ideal capacity 6,400. Also, they play 3-4 game at the Wachovia Center & draw well & we can't even sniff a doubleheader at the Garden. FU's answer is to renovate the oldest gym in America and keep the same capacity, turf Coffey and keep the HS football & baseball feel. FU should have developed a massive Fundraising campaign to EXPAND Rose Hill Gym & double capacity to 6,400 while also expanding on to Lombardi for a real Rec Center with a Real Weight Room, Offices, Locker Rooms, Hall of Fame, etc. and build a real Football Stadium (not metal) with a Track & Lights. This would all fit on the area that is now the gym and Coffey Field. The only exception is Baseball would have to move somewhere else (sorry).
8. No Home & Home: Frank should have demanded a home & home or not have scheduled the game. Period.
9. Marketing. Former Nova AD DeFillipo (now at BC) did an excellent job marketing Nova. Licensing, PR, TV Games, Scheduling, etc. Marketing is four letter word around Rose Hill & Damn Ram knows what I mean here. If we only had a Athletic Department that gave a sh!t, God knows what we could do.
10. Since I had 9 reasons I had to think of a 10th. Recent Tradition/Winning (last 25 years): No doubt FU has struggled in various sports with not much to cheer about, but Nova has been very successful. They brought back FB & have been a perennial Top 20-30 team, Hoops won a National Championship and consistently has a winning record, track is among the nations elite and most other sports are at the very least respectable.
So there you have it, a summary of why Rams Fans may refer to Nova Fans as should I say... ryhmes with wussies & not Wildcats.
Best Wishes,
Chaka
Go Rams!

I think you hit the nail on the head when you raised the jealousy issue for that I think is at the essence of everything.

- When Nova had some of its players suspended a year or two ago at the beginning of the season, Nova bumped a previously scheduled game vs. St. Joe's (or was it Temple?) at the last minute in order to play several cupcakes and thus blatantly game their RPI. Now THAT was a joke, made funnier by the alternating silence and rationalizations of many Nova fans who felt entitled to engage in this shameful practice without criticism. I guess ethics are different in the Big East. Rather than consider what we say "insulting", you could choose to look at our observations as educational and enlightening, an opportunity to get outside of the groupthink that afflicts many Big East fan bases. (NT) -- DamnRam, Fri April 01, 2005 10:02:38
- It was vs. Temple. Villanova was trying to get in as many games as possible before heading out to Hawaii for the Maui Classic. From what I recall they decided to play 3 non-DI schools out in California before heading to Maui so that their players could get a big part or all of their suspensions over with before the tournament. Chaney went nuts over this and after a bunch of back and forth they decided to play their game at midnight (or one minute past) of the first day of permitted NCAA competition. I believe Nova wanted to reschedule the Temple game, not do away with it entirely. Either way, in my opinion, it was turned into a much bigger deal than it was which should come as no surprise given that John Chaney was involved. (NT) -- ace93, Fri April 01, 2005 10:14:10
- Chaney is definitely a one-man drama show. That said, Nova's behavior clearly circumvented the spirit of what suspensions are supposed to be about. Bumping and rescheduling Temple for a midnight game just after the suspension period ended only further highlighted their lack of ethics. To some degree I blame the A10 and Chaney for letting Nova use them like that, and certainly the NCAA for allowing Nova to end-run their sanctions. I would blame the Big East for doing nothing, but expecting their management to enforce integrity is like expecting a dog to whistle. (NT) -- DamnRam, Fri April 01, 2005 11:43:33

C’mon, all I have to do is point to a few of the thugs you had on your team a couple of years back. Don’t get me started on some of the other programs in your league. Asking a favor of a Big 5 school to reschedule a game? That is bad ethics? Give me a break, folks. You guys know as well as I do that in the grand scheme of things, Nova is a clean program.
