UNH is still a cow college. I was there just a few weeks ago. There's a dairy operation on campus w/ a dairy management program. I believe UMass and URI still have agricultural programs as well. By the way, the UNH football "stadium" was definitely not impressive (nor was UMass' or URI's for that matter). The only things I liked were the chairbacks and plastic bench seats in the center section, and the track which circled the field. Visitor's stands appeared puny and dilapidated, the "press box" was a hut. Overall looked worse than what we have, more like a high school in Nowheresville. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

Sorry, but while most of those schools may not be "cow colleges" they are for the most part mediocre land grant colleges that have almost nothing in common with Fordham. If you are telling me their academic programs are on par with ours, a lot of kids are going to want a tuition refund! Richmond and Villanova are different but there aren't any other schools that do anything for Fordham. UConn is the only state university to break the mold of the old time "State U" model. This is one of the reasons they got out of the A-10. (NT) An Old Coach 09:34:30 11/10/04 Wed
