Two more lopsided losses this weekend sends the team to 3-14, 0-8 in the PL - we have lost 17 consecutive sets

And his salary is probably somewhere in the $5-7 million range - I know one coach who did not sleep last night

There were 2 punts fair caught and the other 2 bounced in front of the receiver and gave Haughney another 5-10 yards - I’d like to see next year’s punter (if he’s on the roster) in one-sided games during the 2nd half of the season

Two interesting numbers: ESPN had us as 29 pt favorites - so Bucky money pays off Attendance: 925 ! I wish Bucknell would fib a little and make it a 4 figure attendance - Most of our players have seen more than 925 at their PeeWee games
Regarding our overall performance, I'm always happy with a win but to be honest I was surprised that Bucknell moved the ball as well as they did. This open date is coming at a good time

Nice Dub today by our women - broke out of their scoring slump with a 2-1 win over Lehigh at home - this team is indeed showing progress

In the OT, GU lost 10 yards on a 3rd and long but their kicker knocked a 49 yd fg through - too bad those 3 pts did not hold up Fordham took advantage of a slow clock on their 3rd and long with 5 secs left - somehow 1 sec remained on the clock after a down and out pass - and their kicker made a 45 yarder at the buzzer.
The Rams have not played well in the last two weeks and now it seems clear Lafayette is the clear no.2 in the league

Our first league win - have to get significant momentum from here to have a chance at the playoffs fyg, you can't save a penalty corner (a stat that Lehigh dominated) - but our sr goalie Brooke Ross again stood tall with 12 saves

Penn - The Quakers go 3-0 vs. PL Lafayette - ‘Pards have lost 12 straight in series Fordham - Rams bounce back in the rain Holy Cross. - weather should be dry in one-sided game

Ladies played well but Union scored 2 empty net goals in the last three minutes and then won it 3-2 in OT

I think HC and Fordham are the only PL schools aggressively scheduling an FBS game every year moving forward Fordham just inked Coastal Carolina for '26 so their announcement includes this: "Next fall, the Rams will open the 2024 season with a Week 1 matchup at Bowling Green before playing at Boston College in 2025. After traveling to Coastal Carolina in 2026, the Rams also have games on the schedule against FBS opponents Syracuse (2027) and Hawaii (2028)".

If we're in a close game our kicking game can make a difference. Our fg kicker, Palenzuela has been solid on PAT's but we need to see some fg attempts to know how reliable he'll be - I'm hopeful he'll be solid Our punter, Haughney has not had a good year. Yes, he doesn't punt much but he's had 9 so far for a 33.7 yard average which is last in the PL (only 2 inside the 20). I don't want to sound critical as he's been very reliable but I rarely see him getting off a booming kick and some of his yardage is when the ball bounces in from of the receiver. With our strong offense it's likely he won't see a lot of action but I'm looking for improvement from him

This has the makings of a very good team that should be in the hunt near the top of the league from the get-go.. We open the season Sunday night vs. LIU at home at 7pm Maybe our SID office wasn't aware of the league media day awhile back but I found it on the Army site
You can check out our coach Riga and his comments on our team starting at the 1:06:00 mark on this attachment

Winning the NH Am is not like winning the Fl Am - the young lady has not been ‘lighting it up’ so far - she’s good, not great

Team is improving and finished 11th out of 15 teams at the Navy tourney over the weekend - our soph, Kate Hong shot an impressive 78-75 to lead the team and finish 8th overall among individual scores. Our coach, Steve Napoli is doing his best with zero financial aid - we have a frosh on the team that won the New Hampshire women's amateur in '22 and was runner-up this past summer.

It was mentioned in the women's bball schedule release that we'll be playing doubleheaders vs. BU - Something that is long overdue and a reason for many to venture to Worcester in the winter for 2 games at the Hart. BUT, our dh is on a Monday ! Jan 29 and the dh at BU is on a Sat Mar 2 - Kit, if you're scheduling a dh that's a great idea but please make it happen on a weekend

Disagree Huge difference between FCS football in a lousy league and competing at one of the top D.1 women’s hockey league All that being said Chesney is doing a super job with what he’s been given and LaChappele is underperforming

Monmouth - they were embarrassed last Sat vs. Laf - game can be seen on SNY network Cornell - the Big Red's QB, Wang might be the best in the Ivy Fordham - the Rams can name the score Lafayette - surprise team if the season - QB DiNoble has played well Holy Cross - Hopefully the track in not too wet after all this rain - we're good 'and healthy'

it's all the same - 100 pct available on ESPN + Find it weird that the ladies schedule now posted with ooc and league dates is very incomplete - only 14 total games listed
