Fairfield is jinxed when it comes to playing Fordham. Don't know what the series numbers are, but it's one-sided in Fordham's favor. It shouldn't be that lopsided.

Fordham has always had our number. Last year they absolutely destroyed us ... however, I wouldn't be surprised if we won this game in a close one.

We do have a history of losing to this school. I remember the last time we faced Fordham at Alumni Hall. At the time the Rams were something like 1 and 23 and they beat us. A fiftiesh Fordham guy was seated across from me and his face was beet red, he was so excited. I expected a visit from the paramedics before the end of the game. I thought that he was going to croak.

I hate to say it, but I think someone did die once during a Fordham/Fairfield game. Wasn't it the grandmother of one of the players?

I believe it was Troy Bradford's relative.

Troy Bradford's grandmother. They stopped the game and had to resume it at Rose Hill, in a doubleheader of sorts. I believe that Fordham won both games by the same score.

A male spectator died in the stands some years before that.
