Please someone explain why there wasn't a review there. Not the NFL ? Do you watch college football?

UConn was dead....absolutely dead at halftime....the only team they could have come back against in these United States and actually win was a Tom Gilmore led Holy Cross team. Normal critical is welcome. Not yours. Go to bed.

This is a game we should have won. Don't like how we got conservative in the 3rd quarter. Don't like a couple play calls. The refs sucked. Yeah, sour grapes I guess we are, but the roughing the kicker changed this game. And that spot??? A whole lot to be encouraged going forward. You posted this exact thing last year when we lost a close one to unh. Actually, did I just watch a replay of that game? Uconn is an above average fcs (not a typo) team. We're looking at a .500 season Peter misses high way too often. Deadly

When the CDS comes out later this year, we will be able to ascertain how much the college may have gamed the admissions process for the class of 2021. In theory, if the yield was unexpectedly large, no one should have been pulled off the waiting list. If we discover that a significant number of those enrolling came off the waiting list, then we can conclude that HC purposefully increased the size of the class by admitting full pays off the waiting list, and only full pays. That approach would tend to dilute the academic credentials of the enrolling class. Uhhh what? Another miss by PP.

Bucknell and Vermont may beat all the snooty teams. But the season ticket holders stay away from the HC/PL games. Your ears would curl to hear what they say about HC as an opponent. Same goes for Bucknell and Vermont. BC is a conference win. Buck and Vt mean nothing and can hurt them worse than a BC loss. No. You can type it 5 more times with different word order but you'll still be wrong about uvm and bucknell.

I know Caro will say something sarcastic, but that field screams D1 commitment. Looks fresh, as it should.

Great to see Iona and Siena back on the schedule, but it's a HUGE miss to have no marquee games on the schedule. What a huge miss!! Let's get murdered by Kansas again! Or pretend we were in the game with UNC again! So fun.

I actually like the away BU game on a Saturday. Many alums are in Boston (like it or not) and its always a nice game to attend and see familiar faces without having to travel to Woo (and without having to rush over to Comm Ave during rush hour). How many hc alums at that game? A lot. Stop being a wise ass.

Holy Cross "pays" money for scholarships. The 100 additional students "pay" holy cross to attend (regardless of full pay/half pay whatever). Do you not agree with the basis of my post in that the revenue generated by the "found" money in the extra 100 students has an effect of an offset to scholarships? No college that I know of budgets as you suggest. Student revenue is pooled and spent for the general operation of the college, whether it be for food in the dining hall, electricity, faculty salaries, athletic scollies or other financial aid. The tuition and fees paid by any student or group of students are not isolated to pay for a single purpose item; e.g., ADDR was not told that Holy Cross had brought in 30 more students so he can now go ahead and buy out CSK's contract. And flip the coin on your proposition. Suppose the yield was 100 students less than HC had planned for. Would you expect HC to now tell CTG, 'we can't afford your scollies this year.'? Of course not. You're putting works in my mouth as I did not say anything in the nature that you're implying. What I did say is that in essence, the 100 additional students add to Holy Cross' revenues, in one way or another -- one of which ways could be viewing the "found" money in comparison to football scholarships effectually. You're the one who constantly references that the student body is subsidizing hc athletics by $xxxx per head and that parents will get upset if that number increases. Adding more students lessens that ratio, no?

I am not close to the football parents. I've spoken extensively with the basketball parents. I have never heard a discouraging word by any of them towards the coaches who recruited their sons. Perhaps it's the $200000+ scholarship. I have--but about your old friend.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the extra 100 students offset football scholarships in total by more than 100%? And that's just from 1 class. If I understand what you are trying to say, the answer is no. HC does not budget (pay for) football scollies by enrolling full pay students; i.e., if 20 scollies are awarded, then HC does not enroll 20, 40, 60, 100 full pays to help offset the cost. One does not know how many, or even if any, of the extra 100 are full pays. HC has sought to increase the number of full pays because the HC budget for need-based fin aid is being strained by the demand for fin aid. Holy Cross "pays" money for scholarships. The 100 additional students "pay" holy cross to attend (regardless of full pay/half pay whatever). Do you not agree with the basis of my post in that the revenue generated by the "found" money in the extra 100 students has an effect of an offset to scholarships?

i think the absense of any ( 0 ) HE games ( EVEN MERIMACK IN THE HART ? ) speaks volumes about the HE-affiliation-crap being shoveled out here! Especially by those with "inside information." You're a joy.

Did someone get to the botton of the strzala decommits.l? My understanding is that HC pulled his offer.

HC @ Army in '23, not sure if posted before That's all good and well but that's 7 football seasons away. I'll believe it when I see it.

My source says CBC believes we will need "a lot of luck" next year to have a winning record. I agree with that evaluation of the situation. its tough when you're left with a gap class of zero seniors. But you knew that.

There isn't much of an option for these freshman is there? They will be required to contribute. If not in success and points then in empty minutes played.

What exactly is page 4 supposed to tell me? See "Admission Overlap Schools" chart. Indicates a selected group of schools that, according to HC, have overlapping admitted students. Still don't see that on page 4 which is the financial overview page (at least for me). Does the common app release common applications? If not how would they get this data?

My experiences with northeastern tell me that it attracts a different student than hc does and there is very little cross over (liberal arts vs focused majors. City hub vs campus setting. 5 years vs 4 years. International vs not). If you're applying to both, you're probably confused. Actually, there is significant overlap. See page 4 here: www.holycross.edu/sites/default/files/files/alumni/holy_cross_fund_four-pager_10-12-16_final_low_res.pdfI noted in an above post (APR 30) that many alums are somewhat unaware of our current competitors in terms of actual cross-admits. Given the differing admission standards we might be a safety school for Northeastern cross-admits. I do agree HC and Northeastern seem quite dissimiliar. What exactly is page 4 supposed to tell me?

FWIW I'm fully expecting a loss. A win, albeit only a quarterfinals win, could change the tides of the program.

AT2 initially signed with Vandy. When his coach went to Pitt he switched. Have no idea why he is switching again. Saw hi m play against the kid Fultz. Stole the ball from him to send game into OT. Faster, taller Ant. Not as ferocious. Not as good a shooter yet. Can defend and penetrate with the best of them. ACC talent! Too funny.
