Joe, I agree with much of what you say except the part about alumni "donation penetration" being pathetic. We raised half a million dollars in the year ended June 30, 2004. The University spent as much as Lehigh and Colgate and perhaps 50% more than either Holy Cross or Georgetown. Facilites are old but this off season a new turf will be installed on Coffey and lights at no insignificant cost. We need more, of course but there is much more alumni and University support than you think. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: ROWAN 's message, "You are entirely off base and out of line. We lost 2 games by a point and another in OT. He did not do a bad job. How did he get a free lunch? Also, who anointed you in charge to decide he does not get 4 years and should be "closely scrutinized"? Also, the program is NOT well funded. Our alumni donation penetration is next to pathetic. We have the poorest facilities in the league. The fact that we were in position to have a winning record is a major accomplishment. If you are going to run your mouth off, back it up with specifics. Otherwise, we do not need anymore armchair QBs" on 16:23:06 11/20/04 Sat

Fordham outspent Georgetown 3 to 1 in FY 2004. The other PL schools outspend Georgetown at least 2 to 1. I don't think people realize how much of a competitive disadvantage that is placing Georgetown on a week to week basis.** (NT) DFW HOYA 13:27:35 11/21/04 Sun

Of course we realize that, we lived through it here, remember? G'town is following in our footsteps by underfunding the program and hoping to win on the cheap. All 3 Jesuits schools bringing up the rear in the PL this year, and in the case of Gtown and HC, it is a trend...why? (NT) -- Maroon, 21:27:50 11/21/04 Sun
