Add the inability to schedule quality OOC opponents as another reason for Clawson's departure, and let's be realistic Dave never thought he'd still be at FU for the 2005-2008 seasons. He had a 5-year plan and he executed well. I agree JohnG92, nothing was done intentionally to undercut the program, but lack of vision and poor AD management have weakened FU's position comparatively. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: JóDete93 's message, "I would be surprised if Dave Clawson really wanted that weak a schedule that far into his tenure. Did he really expect the program to still be at the point that he could not schedule a little tougher? I always knew Dave to have very lofty goals and for him to schedule down like that would go against the type of person I feel he is. Obviously I may be wrong on that, but that is just the way I read him." on 20:49:18 12/10/04 Fri

We used to have OOC games with Villanova, Hofstra, Harvard, Penn, and Princeton. Hofstra-Fordham used to be a pretty good rivalry. I'd like to see them back on the schedule. (NT) JohnG92 20:18:45 12/12/04 Sun

Why play competitive programs likely to attract decent crowds when you can play the Marists, Duquesnes, and Cupcake Colleges of the world? (NT) -- Cynic, 13:42:01 12/13/04 Mon
