Sorry Rambacker, Colgate13 has solid points: even if the CAA blows up to a 16 member league, there are enough scholies lining up to join, FU will not get an invite. Just make the PL stronger! -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

I think one of the AGS posters from Maine said it best: why would the CAA want to take one or two programs with, according to CAA standards, marginal support for football? Then, why in the world would ANY conference expand beyond 12 teams? FU's only hope to leave the PL was if the A-10 tried to keep the northern schools in a new league. And BTW, I wasn't asking for sources. You said FU would admitted to the CAA "is a fact". Where's the facts bud? It sure sounds like opinion to me. (NT) colgate13 09:27:15 03/10/05 Thu

I know you want to believe otherwise, but the new CAA Football Conference will take Fordham(and Holy Cross) if we want to join. When you know something that important, it's vital to get the word out. And that's what I'm doing. (NT) -- Rambacker, 10:22:43 03/10/05 Thu

That's wishful thinking on your part. Colgate13 hasn't made one legitimate point. The CAA will take Fordham(and Holy Cross) in a heartbeat. Take it to the bank. (NT) Rambacker 10:20:03 03/10/05 Thu

1 legitimate point? Oh, that's right, I've made several... Sorry if I won't be holding my breath for a 14 team CAA league anytime in the near future. Hello, Rose Colored Glasses? Meet Rambacker. I feel like I'm arguing with a 12 year old. Not only do you have inside sources that state "as fact" Fordham will be going to the CAA but you're also on the inside of HC's board and their decisions. Will wonders ever cease? Oh, and since when is a I-AA football conference a part of any university's major marketing campaign? Delusional... (NT) -- colgate13, 11:06:39 03/10/05 Thu

Colgate is a fine school so I'm surprised at your lack of reading comprehension skills. I didn't state "as fact" that Fordham will be going to the CAA - I stated that they will be invited. And yes, the future of our football program will be part of our marketing campaign, as it should be not only at Fordham but at Colgate. I'm surprised at your naivete. (NT) -- Rambacker, 12:52:08 03/10/05 Thu

Don't go there. I will reserve the childish academic arguements out of respect for my Fordham friends on these and other boards. You're only making a fool of yourself with your outlandish and ridiculous claimsof facts and quotes that no one else has access to. Playing football in the CAA will be a part of the Fordham marketing campaign? FU may market D-I sports and football in general, but the CAA affiliation is hardly a component. On a good note though, FU football looks to be a force to reckon with next year. The Seven Blocks of Granite have all been found in your head! (NT) -- colgate13, 15:04:23 03/10/05 Thu

You've made it clear that you don't like what I know about the situation. I don't blame you for wanting to keep Fordham in the PL, but you need to start dealing with reality. Everything I've posted is true - if you don't know what is really going on, it's better just to not say anything. You are in fact making a fool of yourself by refuting what you know nothing about. And if you are so naive that you think Fordham won't consider the exposure it gets from its athletic teams as part of its future marketing, I can't help you. You should let it go, you are embarrassing yourself. (NT) -- Rambacker, 18:15:15 03/10/05 Thu

LMFAO! Thanks I needed a good laugh. Please, tell us where this information is located to verify that it's true. It's your pie in the sky dreaming and your made up or wishful sources. You claim to have heard things from people's mouths-well so have I. Big deal. If FU really wants to go to the CAA, have fun! Best of luck! Sure hope it's better than FU's transition to A-10 basketball. What's that overall record since the transition, 83-175? CAA football, sign me up! And reread my thoughts on marketing. Athletics as part of marketing: Yes. The CAA brand as part of marketing: No. Later "Insider"! (NT) -- colgate13, 08:29:48 03/11/05 Fri

That's enough. Over and out. Oh, and our transition to CAA Football would be smooth as silk. We'd be winning in that league 2-3 years after joining. Full scholarships will take us over the top. (NT) -- Rambacker, 09:21:43 03/11/05 Fri

In closing, Fordham will get an invite from the CAA Football League in the next 2 years. Take it to the bank! (NT) -- Rambacker, 21:57:56 03/28/05 Mon
