In reply to: Steve J. Rogers 's message, "Isn't Fairfield HOFer Shannon Bowman from Worchester?" on 07:00:05pm 10/15/05 Sat,

Its not that we refuse to play HC, its more that we refuse to accept their unreasonable requirements. I will not get into the details of it, but the story I heard was basically they wanted us to play a game up at their place 1 day after we got back from Long airline flight from a road game. We offerred many other options, and offerred to play the game up in their place first. I think it was their take it or leave it additude which makes it difficult. I also think we did have a tentative date set one year, but HC wanted to backed out of it because they had an opportunity to play in a Tourney or play Kansas (Something like that) . I think we were flexible and said OK..... but did that make the negotiations any easier with them. No way.

I am not just going to bash HC on this, because I am pretty sure we are not angels either and have stood our ground and not made every effort to make this game happen, but when I read this on the Fordham Message board .......
"Iona & URI were dropping HC and that Fordham would like to do the same but Reagan ( I believe he is the AD) has "been holding it together so far". And I hear other things from Providence fans about negotiations with HC, I think I can see whay things are not happening.

With all that said, and all that has happened, the last I heard, Fairfield still wants to setup games with Holy Cross..... But we are also looking at Boston College. I hope both will happen, but likely only one of those games will happen. And my guess its BC..... unfortunate.

My impression is that H.C. is difficult to deal with. The school wants to dictate the conditions under which these games are played. At the moment H.C. has had 16 home games and we have had, I think, 10. Another thing I heard is that H.C. wants us to play up there initially. The element of fairness seems to be missing from this relationship. Arrogance, perhaps. Don't play the Crusaders until they get their fannies down to Bridgeport.
