I was there during that conversation and I agree with Rambacker. Clawson had moved on to another agenda at that point and had his own interests at heart when he made his comments. At that point, he did not know that Fr. McShane would be making the enhancements he's making(FieldTurf, new locker room, scoreboard, etc.) but he has always been good at looking out for his own interests(not to demean the tremendous job he did at Fordham). Going scholarship 1-AA would be great for Fordham. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: Rambacker 's message, "It's naive to take Coach C's comments as being in Fordham's best interests. For those of us who know him, we're keenly aware that, even though he did a great job of building our program, he's very adept at watching out for himself. Ask his former players. If you think he wants to see Fordham as a full scholarship program going to Richmond & kicking butt, you're wrong. We all know what he did for Fordham, but let's be practical & realistic. We need to do what's best for Fordham, not take the advice of a coach who has left the program & has another agenda. Let's look out for Fordham first." on 21:47:12 11/09/04 Tue

Last week in a university-wide forum, Fr. Joe flatly stated that there would be no changes for FB. Additionally he is putting pressure on Admissions to reject recruits that don't meet the higher profile of the general population in the last few years. Obviously Fr. McShane agrees with Coach Clawson as well. (NT) FU-worker 11:17:43 11/10/04 Wed

Just talked to someone who attended that forum and they have a different take. They said Fr. Joe hedged his comment by saying "at this time". Doesn't sound that "flat" to me. We'll see what the future brings. (NT) Rambacker 14:18:32 11/10/04 Wed
