Subject: I can't prove it but I bet most schools won't play us at Rose Hill due to the poor facilities.

Sorry I forget the 3rd but all very good players for us." on 09:51:26 02/17/05 Thu [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date If that is the case then I wonder if a little bit of self-promotion about our upgraded fields, lights, and lockerrooms focused at those schools might help. If it's because we're no longer a doormat then we may have nowhere to go but scheduling cupcakes or moving up to A10. (NT) DamnRam 11:24:39 02/18/05 Fri Quite surprised that Richmond would refuse to play fordham. (NT) -- toby, 13:09:13 02/18/05 Fri Dave Clawson can only lose by scheduling us. If he wins, it's expected - if he loses he's embarrassed by the school he just left behind. It is very disappointing though. (NT) -- Rambacker, 15:58:41 02/19/05 Sat I agree with the logic but I would believe Clawson should give fordham an opportunity since he contributed to our ressurection, and provided him his first head opportunity. He has scheduled lafayette. It is not unimaginable that coaches move to other programs and schedule their former team for games. (NT) -- toby, 16:25:52 02/19/05 Sat Don't hold your breath. Clawson didn't get to where he is by making dumb moves. (NT) -- Rambacker, 22:36:15 02/19/05 Sat Very aware that Clawson is calculating. Although, the excuses for the schedule holds no water. (NT) -- toby, 11:29:09 02/20/05 Sun I agree totally. And Richmond would be a great on-going home and home series in football since we play them in hoops every season anyway. Would love to see a football/basketball rivalry develop with them. Great school, great tradition there. (NT) -- Rambacker, 13:05:36 02/20/05 Sun Clawson wouldn't want to play us because Foley and Clawson knows exactly what each other would do in a gameplan. (NT) -- Prince, 17:47:30 02/20/05 Sun Every reason for them to play. See who comes out on top by matching and scheming. (NT) -- toby, 18:16:37 02/20/05 Sun In 2003, me,Javarus,Eakin had a discussion w/ Clawson about playing tougher comp. He told us that the schedules were set for like 6-8 years.The new schedule was made by Clawson.The old schedules with Brown,Yale,Harvard,and tougher comp was made before Clawson got their and based on the FU teams of the 90's he felt like that easier comp was the best way for us to make the playoffs. Rhode Island got thrown in there because the NCAA voted to allow a 12th game and we scheduled RI. He felt the easiest way to make the playoffs was to win every PL game and a weak OOC schedule (NT) -- Prince, 20:44:43 02/20/05 Sun Re: I can't prove it but I bet most schools won't play us at Rose Hill due to the poor facilities.
