Subject: All Catholic Sports Conference Author: PA Ram [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:58:34 03/13/05 Sun Just having a little fun here. Which schools would you like to see us join up with if they were to create an all-sports Catholic sports conference? What about a football only Catholic schools conference (FYI, Rambacker, Penn St. is not a Catholic school). Interestingly, it was Rambacker's comment about fulfilling the mission of the university by going CAA that made me post this ... after all, what could be more in line with our mission than being affiliated with a big time Catholic sports conference? (Also, 2nd fyi for Rambacker ... yes, we know that Notre Dame IS a Catholic school and they'll be first on your wish list). Again, just having fun here.

Subject Author Date How about a scholarship football conference with Holy Cross, Georgetown, Villanova, Colgate, Lehigh, Richmond and William & Mary. Out of conference opponents: (1) Army or Duke (2) Delaware (3) Harvard, Yale or Princeton (4) Hofstra. (NT) JohnG92 20:23:51 03/13/05 Sun Interesting ... why keep out Bucknell & Lafayette (and not even want to play them in the OOC games)? Just curious if there was a reason or not. Thanks. (NT) -- PA Ram, 22:43:18 03/13/05 Sun William & Mary is not a Catholic school. And Bill III was known for kicking Catholic bootay in his time. But including W&M would get some chuckles, for sure. (NT) -- Stadtholder, 01:24:52 03/14/05 Mon I don't believe that Colgate, Lehigh or Richmond are Catholic either ... thus, I think JG was simply giving his wish list for a Fordham f-ball conference v. simply giving a Catholic league list. (NT) -- PA Ram, 08:10:56 03/14/05 Mon Re: All Catholic Sports Conference RamRay 10:19:25 03/14/05 Mon I don't think we need an all Catholic football conference. I'd rather play a good mix of top level 1-AA programs like Villanova, William and Mary, Richmond, Delaware, etc. and continue to schedule two Patriot League teams plus Columbia per season. By the way, I don't advocate a move to 1-A football. If that were to be considered, we would need to play competitvely and fund properly a full scholarship 1-AA team in the CAA for a number of years first. (NT) Rambacker 15:01:25 03/14/05 Mon BC, ND, etc.... On the other hand, VU & GU.... I dont get the impression that Villanova or Georgetown find much value in the "Catholic college" concept. I think GU tries to play up the secular positon more than anyone, and in my opinion they should be ashamed.... (ie GU: crucifixes taken down in the classrooms- wouldnt see this in 5 million yrs at ND) (NT) -- Ram1, 21:15:27 03/14/05 Mon From the Georgetown University website: "Crucifixes and Religious Symbolism. The University has placed a wide variety of crosses and crucifixes, with descriptions of their particular significance, in all Main Campus classroom buildings, with the exception of the Bunn Intercultural Center, where there will be rotating symbols of the various faith traditions represented on campus." Inside this post is a link from their home page directly to their page which contains that passage, and discusses their Catholic identity and activities in detail. -- DamnRam, 14:32:49 03/15/05 Tue The URL for the link to Villanova's pages on the topic is, as well as their statement on Catholic identity, is inside this post. -- DamnRam, 10:46:02 03/18/05 Fri
