Did the press conference say what kickoff time will be? I’d hope that they could make it a night game with 6 or 7pm start

There are different levels of quality when it comes to portable bathrooms - shouldn’t we have the better kind ? ( the type you might see at an outdoor formal affair) - your basic ‘porto-John’ is a definite No

Wow ! never thought I'd see two coaches from a prestigious univ fired for hazing in one week. Looks like Foster was trying some 'no-nonsense / in your face' West Point type discipline at the wrong place. I read an article that some of his asst coaches actually quit during the season (10-40 record)

It’s still early but so far we have not been able to parlay the PL championship into securing commitments from our top targets. Maybe the staff turnover has been one of the reasons

BC went south for their next coach:
Boston College's William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Blake James announced the hiring of Todd Interdonato as the ninth head coach of the BC baseball program on Thursday. Interdonato arrives at Boston College with 16 years of head coaching experience at Wofford College. He guided the Terriers to 455 wins since taking over the program in 2008 following a two-year stint as an assistant coach.

We have three recent grads using their covid year to play another season
Jayce Lambert to Bentley (D2), Cameron Magalotti to Lenoir-Rhyne (D2) and Thomas McIntire TBA (he's our best prospect to he'll find a team soon)

We have two Sep home games, 2nd and 23rd - I hope we start these games later than usual as we did last season Do we all agree later kickoff times between 2 and 3pm would help people get to campus after early morning commitments ? (assuming the Harvard game at Polar Park will start late afternoon as in the past)

FBS is a million to one ! Other than football and women's bball, 'every other' HC sport has been languishing at the absolute bottom of D.1 with athletes and coaches better suited for D.2 and D.3 Just look at the archives of these sports (if they've been updated). Folks, the school has ignored 20 some odd teams for decades and simply let them exist without a chance to win. I'm voting for the FCS championship

Is he still forbidden from coming on campus ? Despite the ugliness of these last few years, now that the case is settled, I would hope that the school would relax this sanction.

Like so much of college sports the baseball salaries for the good coaches in the Power 5 conferences are increasing at a rapid pace - BC is in a power conference but they’re private and likely was not willing to pay what PSU is paying Gambino

Even if there’s no baseball schollie $ available to him, his family is saving $30-40,000 now with in-state tuition at UVA - from the bottom of D.1 to the top tier of D.1

The Ivy forum linked to us here has a thread about Yale's 2023 team - Coach Reno said he has '22' 5th year seniors incl QB Nolan Grooms This will be a very tough game just one week after the emotional game at BC

In college baseball you can never have enough pitching especially lefties - Mudd was close to going to Rutgers originally but something happened and he ended up with us - if he stays with Brewster at the Caoe league all summer, he’s certainly good enough to move up in class

A very sad chapter in HC sports history - really a shame Bill did not accept the fact that he was falling short of expectations and just take the 600 career wins and move on to another job - very poor judgement all around

With only 11.7 total scholarships spread across a roster it is likely that transfers don’t get much $ in the first year they’re at a different school - incoming frosh already recruited long ago would be receiving the aid that outgoing seniors recvd - in other words, baseball is ‘very’ different than bball and FB.

Looks like the former Fordham QB has impressed Washington and will be in camp next month - from the Commanders blog:
"The Commanders have signed Fordham quarterback Tim DeMorat.
In 2022, DeMorat absolutely tore it up at Fordham, throwing for 4,891 yards and 56 touchdowns in his senior season. DeMorat played in 48 games at Fordham across five seasons, throwing for 13,461 passing yards, which is third-most in FCS history.
Now, he joins Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett in the quarterback room in Washington."
Always a plus to see former PL stars getting closer to making NFL rosters.

‘Nova’s various decisions by their trustees over the past 20 years have proven extremely successful - one has to be very impressed by this report - I wonder if they could build a bigger football stadium on the Cabrini property?

The ‘23 roster has been posted and it lists 19 returners so there will be cuts if there is a league limit - certainly there would be too many players just on the sidelines to maintain team morale

I’m not sure what your plans are for improving the program short of having schollie $ and increasing the number of full time coaches and salaries - without institutional commitment I think this is a very difficult job for anyone

Typical lame announcement of recruits - just the names and hometowns- no profiles to outline h.s. Accomplishments- maybe there’s not much to say
