Subject: Not true on the "no press" statement after we won that playoff game. In NY and Boston we did get a fair amount of press, but of course it wasn't an overwhelming amount such as a bowl game.

In reply to: EweWho 's message, ""No contest?" Strong words that can never be substantiated. 1) We're not academically superior to Nova, W&M or Richmond. 2) Many kids prefer playing in rural areas like Maine or Mass. 3) We didn't get any press even after we won a game in the Playoffs. 4) Our facilities pale in comparison to the schools mentioned. We've been above average for a relatively short period of time, yet fans talk like we're above PL competition. As for the "people's choice," their choices are often times wrong. I hope you're right, but speaking in absolutes is ridiculous." on 23:12:50 03/28/05 Mon

You missed the point, Sparky. The Globe and Herald gave the game 2 articles each. That's the minimum attention they should give to a great local playoff game and upset when nothing else is going on. NYC coverage was similar. Point was we didn't reap any long term rewards after that success (i.e,, increased coverage of the Villanova game or the following season), that would improve our appeal and recruiting. Posters complain about our lack of coverage all the time, and I don't think the CAA is going to change that -- certainly not immediately. (NT)EweWho10:46:21 03/29/05 Tue
