Sad that so many seem to care more about seeing the opponent than cheering for their own team - Holy Cross. True but that is not easy these days. We know that almost every out of conference home game over the last bunch of years has been a loss. Since 2019 5-13 out of conference record at home. The wins have been Regis, MT St Vincent, Dean, Colby Swayer and Central Connecticut.

Scheduling Elms is a disgrace. Schedule Assumption or Bentley or find a pay game somewhere and make some money. What will be the attendance for this game. Probably less than 100. I agree with playing Assumption. I just want so badly a loud Hart Center and am not excited about this game.

I don't know how to feel about HC baseball. To compete it needs more support.

Still does almost nothing. BC played 57 games last year. BC did make the NCAA tournament last season and played in a Regional Final. Holy Cross hasn't won two games in a single NCAA Tournament since 1963. If BC had played the Holy Cross game last season (it was PPD) it would have hurt their end of season #22 RPI and made them a weaker NCAA seed. Dude you want BC to compete for National Champs. They had 1 good year chill out. They don't even charge for baseball games.

Merrimack shot 29 percent from the field and Holy Cross was at 30.6 percent. MC shot 15 percent from three and Holy Cross was at 33 percent. Just ignore that thing called defense. Oh it doesn't fit your narrative that HC sucks at every sport. Your team lost again! Go back to crying in the Merrimack River!

DiMarz - Following the game yesterday the burning question the inquiring minds who were at the game really want answered .. was that the best dance move you have?!?! (And God help me if I show up on the dance cam some game soon!) LOL! That's all I got, just think Disco! The Worcester Auditorium didn't have a dance cam?

Might not be the best team that wins w/a 10:30 AM start. Might be the team that gets their eyes open the quickest. Wasn't last year's "kids" game a 30 point blowout loss? Yeah I thought the past doesn't matter to you with anything else? There not losing this year get your camera ready!

More frustration. Injuries and Quinnipiac is good but its just another loss at the Hart Center. Let's beat Harvard to try and turn this season around.

I know all the articles about the Syracuse search ended up being wrong. But can we get 1 article about potential candidates? Or is that coming in the Telegram Toland article after we hire a coach that we also interviewed these 3 people?

Thanks for everything Bob Chesney. You gave me so many memories I will never forget! You were not just a great football coach but a great person. In my opinion you will go down with Eddie Anderson as the 2 greatest HC football coaches ever. I know Mark Duffner and Cleo A. O'Donnell were also great. I hope I am not being a prisoner of the moment. I do study history. But 2 playoff and 2 FBS wins. 5 League Titles and an undefeated season So many other insane moments. Last second wins for example. He is #2 on my all time football coaches at HC.

That Power 5 thing is overated. JMU is ranked higher in the polls this year then many power 5 teams.

My quick take, a March Madness win gets more national attention but a deep run in the FCS playoffs is more doable in today's PL. I think the Muscala's, McCollum's and even our own Malcolm Miller jump ship in today's transfer-portal/NIL hoop world. Whereas, as Chez has shown , a PL football team can be very relevant at the national level. PL is really up against it in a lot of ways in 2023-4 hoop. How many people in let's say Ohio know that Holy Cross is a five time Patriot League champion? How many know Colgate has won the conference tournament four straight years? I think they recognize Colgate's name more... Who gives a crap. If people in Ohio care.

Like the K-State game at a warmer neutral site but not excited about Manhattan in February. Hawaii is huge. Not sure about odds in that game but a deserving trip for the boys. Disappointing we don't have another crack at beating BC. Solid northeast non-conference that could be winnable. The BC game brought nothing to the Eagles besides hurting their RPI even if they won the game. It is a good move for BC to play better quality opponents over HC. Classic Foley line. 1 game out of 50 hurts the precious Eagles RPI. They haven't won national championship in a while now. All those losing ACC records.

Wonder how the players, especially the returnees, are feeling ? I am sure they understand this is how the real world works. People try to move up in their job all the time. This seems to me he is now the favorite to be the JMU coach. Don't have to buy a new tie.

Fully expect to beat UVM if we can handle the midday Sunday blues which has been a bit of a challenge the last couple of seasons. Things look wonky but I would also note (to add to the comments above) that the program lost two important asst coaches and that it can also take time for a staff to fit together just as it takes time for a team. What makes you think that? UVM beat them by 30 in Worcester last year and returns the majority of their team.... Oh sorry we don't get to think our team is going to win.

Final HC 59-32. Not pretty Outside the top ten in NCAA Women's Basketball, it is always bad basketball Ok that is a joke of a statement. You just demolished any women's basketball that is not top ten division 1. You just don't understand sports.

That's a coaching graveyard and interest in the program is lukewarm at best; usually downright apathetic. Foley, please talk some sense into Ricky if he's seriously considering the Columbia job! It is a good job and he is experienced there as the OC. Nothing wrong with moving onto bigger and better gigs Why is it better. Columbia is bottom IVY football they always have been. Nationally it’s not relevant at all.

Are you off your meds again? I am just sharing what other schools are doing for their fundraising yesterday. It seems like Holy Cross fundraising wasn't as successful in terms of getting people interested in their athletic department. Good thing they got all that money. Add to the millions they already have. HC would beat them in football and hockey.

Ray-Bans has done a nice job at HC....but it's not unprecendated...HC has always been a fantastic job at the !-AA level if used wisely....we'll be fine if he goes elsewhere...if he moves somewhere else, good for him....we'll be fine. Not to be hard-core....but if he leaves us....que sera, sera The amount of fans and community engagement is unprecedented. Since the turn of the century. The media attention HC has gotten has been great. I would put him 2nd all time behind Dr Eddie Anderson. I hope I am not being a prisoner of the moment. I love history Cleo O Donnell. Duffner won a lot. What a good debate to have.

We thought some of our posters were negative to Chesney. Read some of the Syracuse posts you would think Chesney is coaching a flag football team right now.

I just think for a coach that has continued to move up from D3 why not try FBS? He has accomplished a lot at HC. Why not give it a shot? Eddie Anderson did it. (You can always come back That Syracuse job is a tough one.

Did you watch the game? Probably not so you’re just looking at the score? You can’t be bothered to watch PL football games. I didn’t know the CAA was the SEC? I am sure Montana is nervous. We don’t need Luxury boxes we have more fans than any college team you root for. We also live rent free in your head.
