First, tonight’s slate. We like Hofstra in a close one and Ga State in a not close one. *** What do we make of Tony Shaver’s Tribe? William & Mary held UConn close and we rationalized it. They lost to Harvard and we figured it. They beat Richmond and we cheered it. Manhattan was nice [...]
We’ll get to The Tribe, Tony Shaver, and his mustache a little later. It was a huge weekend worthy of a Thanksgiving Feast and those guys deserve their own post. So we’re going to wrap everything up from the weekend, in the Non-William & Mary Division. *** Weekend Head Shaker I’m a little surprised it [...]
Three games today, and I’m calling sweep: Vermont at Drexel: this is a 4:30 start as part of the Legends Classic. Vermont is a top tier America East team and always play, well, exactly like Drexel. Tough. The Mounts also have Marques Blakely, a stud’s stud. He has a good chance to win AEast POY [...]
Three games on the docket, including a Hit the Road Early holiday special from Boston. Nor’easter takes on Boston University at 4:00 in a crosstown rivalry. There will be lots of cooking and cleaning at my house in preparation for the guests. I will watch the web stream with the laptop hanging off my chest [...]
There are two realities in Northeastern’s decision to drop football. Both are economic, and both are valid. It’s your job to decide which one you want to give more credence but I’ll say this: you are wasting your time. Both conspired to make the decision regretful, but necessary. We have the economic reality of today: [...]
…until I had time to look it up. Later today we’ll discuss Northeastern football, specifically how it relates to basketball. And a few predictions, too. First, the promised link to viewing options. I didn’t know the CAA folks added the link to the ESPN scoreboard, and the game notes pdf is the same one distributed [...]
The day that got away…but I see the CAA is 20-23 in noncon so far, with three games in the Oughta Win category tonight. Milestone. Another big slate tomorrow (Tuesday): Delaware at Siena – 7 pm VMI at UNC Wilmington – 7 pm Drexel at Penn – 7 pm Charlotte at Hofstra – 7 pm [...]
We’ll get to basketball later today. (I’m somewhat unsure what to do without a 1:00pm tipoff. Work, perhaps?) However, a quick note on football and the announcement by Northeastern to drop football. Tom Yeager should get credit for standing up and answering the questions. There was no press release from the CAA office announcing that [...]
Lots of big wins over the weekend, lots of good play and things to discuss, including Northeastern having a football team on Friday. Change is inevitable folks. Late day thoughts on the way…
Six games tonight, eight Saturday, and four more Sunday. Understand a lack of specificity. Here’s the CAA rundown of Friday games. If I can, I’ll add information from the CAA office and beat guys for the weekend games. No guarantees. Remember when I was looking up four-year records and writing here instead of painting rooms [...]
