I was shocked when I stumbled upon them last season. Pretty cool schedule. I think they hosted Louisville. Must be the connections of Coach Dan Majerle

Quick look at attendance figures looks like they pack it in.

My next door neighbor goes to Grand Canyon--brand new model for college sports as I believe it is a for-profit school. Yes, it switched to a for-profit format when they had serious financial difficulties 10 or 15 years ago. Sold the school to a California group. Recently they tried to revert back to being non-profit, but they weren't allowed by the accreditation people. The school has some significant issues, but it is definitely growing. It has about 20,000 local students plus another 60k+ who take online classes.

Imagine how high they'd be ranked if they had Jahaad Proctor. 😃

Yucks aside, good home game for HC.

Good to know that we will be able to beat the #85 team in the country----just like we have three years in a row.

Yeah but one of those years they were much better than #85, they were ranked something like #23 but then again, we had a much better coach then! 3 . . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

OK, the Bison were good and they will be again - not much of a surprise there. Now how does HC pull off an upset or two?

Pretty impressive pre-season ranking for the Bison. In this poll, I think they had already picked 15-16 other conference champions before slotting Bucknell. Pretty sure Vermont still hasn't appeared. That Vermont at Bucknell game is going to be a modern day bracketbuster type special, a real non power conference marquee matchup (although some may call that an oxymoron).

The Bucknell-Vermont series is three games, two of them in Sojka. Hope it continues for years beyond that.

Even with the success that Bucknell has had over the last 15 years or so, it's hard to imagine any Patriot League team being on the two end of a 2 and 1 series with another D-I school

Vermont is projected in this bracket to be a 12 seed, as was Bucknell
