Assumption is a very good team. Ridiculous to say they could beat us. It would not be close. We would win by 3-4 TD’s.

No reason from HC’s point of view to play Assumption. All HC can do is either lose (likely not) or not win by a large enough margin to make people happy. Unless it’s 79-0, HC can’t “win.” Ask the BC hoops coach about that.

Unless it’s 79-0, HC can’t “win.” Ask the BC hoops coach about that. I wonder if the BC football staff will think that prior to playing HC next year. (And, if so, I hope that does not lead to a particularly lopsided margin. BC beat Florida State 35-3 yesterday.) From what I saw of Georgetown this year (and yesterday's full game) and eyeballing Assumption's record/ranking I do think Assumption might be a challenge for non-schollie Georgetown. |

Isn't "non-scholarship" Georgetown a bit deceptive? After all, aren't there players on Georgetown getting financial aid for academic and financial reasons? I understand that it is being put that way only to diminish any success against Georgetown, but they do have players on scholarship player - just not for athletics alone.

I was referencing football athletic schollies in this football thread. Assumption has not had any football success against Georgetown. How could one diminish that non-existing occurrence? It is irrelevant to my post, but I don't think there are academic merit scholarships at Georgetown. Or athletic scholarships. No secret they do offer some sort of grants - in - aid to athletes based primarily on financial need. (Back in the day at some non-schollie schools that meant instead of loans in a financial aid package, it was pure grants as aid. ) Not academic. |

Assumption beat Fordham in 2010. Still, I'd like our chances against them based on size and speed.
Assumption has been scoring points at an unbelieveable rate this season. Is the coach an offensive whiz???

Both sides of the ball. Greyhounds pummeled Stonehill 68-zip yesterday. Bob Chesney will be a 1AA head coach somewhere with 2 yrs. Maybe sooner.

Any chance of playing Assumption next year? Unless something changes, we are booked until about 2022. Enjoy the basketball scrimmage this week if you are so inclined.

Georgetown's athletes receive need-based aid, as did the rest of the PL before athletic scollies.
The amount of need-based aid at several schools (not HC) appeared to be so large that as they transitioned to scollies, the amount of financial offered did not increase. If HC is now spending $3.7 million on scollies, Georgetown may be spending $2.5 million on need-baaed aid, which would be about 40 scollie equivalents.

The fact that some folks want to talk about playing Assumption...Assumption for God's sake!...shows how low we've sunk. If the Greyhounds (?) are now seem by some to be credible competition, it's clearly time to hang up the cleats on Mt. St. James. Enough to make this old 'Sader sick.

If the Greyhounds (?) are now seem by some to be credible competition, it's clearly time to hang up the cleats on Mt. St. James. Enough to make this old 'Sader sick. In 2010 Fordham lost to Assumption 24-30 and the very next week Fordham lost to Holy Cross 31-36. Obviously, an Assumption- Holy Cross game would have been competitive that year. (FWIW Fordham was 5-6, HC was 6-5, and Assumption was 6-5 in 2010).
This particular year? Fordham and Holy Cross have awful records and Assumption is undefeated - some very one-sided - and nationally ranked (D II). While there are many variables and changes from 2010, it is within the realm of possibility that Assumption v HC would be competitive. I don't think that suggestion should trigger despair in my fellow HC faithful. It is what it is. This year. Things change.

I'm not sure about Fordham, but in 2010, Assumption had scholarships and HC did not. That's a big change. There might be a rule not allowing a scholarship D-! program to play a D-II program. Until a couple of years ago there was a rule that no Patriot League hoops team could play a D-II school HC is upgrading their schedule. Now with scholarships they are adding a FBS game every year. Although a couple of people might like the idea of a cross town game, it's a pipe dream. I have no recollection of HC ever playing a D-II football team and it's a pretty safe bet, that as long as HC is a scholarship football program, they will not play any D-II opponents |
