Speaking of the ACC - how about last night's score - Duke 28, Clemson 7 and it was not a fluke. Clemson has been one of the 'high and mighty' schools looking to extract themselves from the grant of rights / tv deal - maybe their franchise will be tarnished this season
Duke's next game is Saturday vs. Lafayette, that's our Lafayette

It’s gotta be Castellanos based on what I saw Saturday - altho our prep has to include Morehead of course

Even rgs might agree with me that the talent difference between Brown and HC in that FH game was amazing - our goalie had to stand on her head to avoid a bad loss such as we had vs Northeastern on Friday Shots discrepancy today 37-9 (SOG 20-3)

The two Kevin”s on the telecast said the audio for the ref was out today - I find that disappointing as hearing the calls on the field help the announcers and those of us watching

rgs again celebrating a 40 year D.1 program beating a team in their 2nd year in D.1 - and by the slimmest of margins 16-14 in the 5th set. Our VB team is once again destined for a lousy season.

From ESPN today: Army has emerged as the American Athletic Conference's top expansion target, sources said.
After a call with AAC presidents and athletic directors Friday morning, it was clear that Army was the league's top choice to replace SMU, sources said. Commissioner Mike Aresco has begun informally exploring Army as an expansion candidate.
Aresco has engaged with Army athletic director Mike Buddie about potential membership, sources said. The addition of Army would be for football only, an arrangement similar to the one Navy has with the conference.

I'm afraid some bad optics coming for the PL this week
Villanova - would be very surprised if the margin is fewer than 20 pts Georgetown - a big game against a mediocre Marist team Syracuse - as someone said on the 'gate board - 'how much are we getting for this mismatch?' Fordham - a must early season game JMU - I hope the Bison are getting is nice check while they lick their wounds on the long ride back to Lewisburg Sacred Heart - Lafayette still has a QB problem - soph Schuster getting the start Holy Cross - Expect a challenge but we should prevail by 2 td's without showing our complete playbook

Yes, this is a mess ! but at least some sense has prevailed if this indeed only for football and basketball - has that been confirmed ?

This might be all about a 5th (covid) year somewhere for the 24-25 season - I think we've had an example of this somewhere on the board in the past. He's simply letting schools know he's available at the end of this season.

In the box score on ESPN site, it gives Liam credit for '10 tackles and 7 solo' - tough to cut a guy with that line - certainly a practice squad spot will be available to him if he does get cut and another team doesn't pick him up

But Stanford, Cal and SMU do not add much pizazz to the football scene - I see the rationale to add them but the eyeballs on ACC football might actually go down especially with west coast start times

11 Seconds ! That’s a killer We used our 3rd goalie now in our 3 games - obviously the coach doesn’t know who is no. 1 is.

BC announced their ooc schedule and HC plays at BC on Monday Nov 6 to open the season. I really don't like what looks like a strong-arm tactic from BC that they won't come to Worcester any more - I think I've seen BC playing 'at' Harvard and Northeastern in recent seasons
any other ooc games that HC13 or others know about ?

What you are facing is all too common in our world these days so try not to feel guilty Seek out a counselor and it can be a priest, minister or rabbi - it's doesn't matter if you're active in a congregation or not ! These people can be a big help It's ok that you say you are not 'spiritually developed' (most of us are in that boat) but I would encourage you to jump on board to start moving on a spiritual journey and I would encourage a Christian one.
God bless you as you face challenges in this next chapter in your life. Things can work out when you don't expect it.

With the 990 discussion thread, I was thinking of another number (more relevant) as of June 30th that should be available soon - that's the state of the endowment I saw an article which stated that college endowments grew at an average of 8.7 pct for the period ending June 30th. With a more conservative approach we've regularly been behind such averages. Does Phreek or anyone know what the number is and if we've squeaked over the $1 billion mark ?
