PC released its 2018-19 non-con schedule yesterday. Hosts HC on Tue., 11/13. No time listed as of yet.
EDIT: if this was posted elsewhere and I missed it, please feel free to delete. I went looking for a 2018-19 non-con opponent thread and didn't find one.

Don't forget Bryant! And might was well get Rhode Island College on the schedule to try and earn some sweet revenge from our 2007 exhibition loss. |

I believe i understand your point, but the upside cross could be considered sacriligeous and offensive. |

It is a symbol of St. Peter who was crucified upside down because he felt he was not worthy of being crucified like Christ. Only of recent vintage, apparently, do some think it is a satanic symbol. But, then again, some people think the symbol of a knight of the Crusades is not a symbol of someone defending Christianity.
I was not trying to be subtle (obviously).
There seems to be a big difference between Christian martyrs who died non-aggressively in the coliseum, for example, and modern day Muslims "martyrs" who blow themselves up slaughtering innocent people.
St. Peter was martyred on an upside down cross and did not have anyone's blood on his hands.
BTW, you will note that I did not "post" in order not to sidetrack any threads. It is part of my avatar.

I didn't forget them. I believe only the "big 3" are considered for the mythical state college championship. But then again, I was not born in RI.  |

I believe i understand your point, but the upside cross could be considered sacriligeous and offensive. maybe... but definitely nowhere near as offensive as saying Jesus was a gay drag queen and that the crucifixion was not the foundation of the faith under which the school was founded and operated, but rather, simply expression of homoerotic desires. you need to set your sights on disparaging catholicism much higher, sader1970, if you want to be granted an endowed professorship at a catholic school like holy cross! |

In deference to hchoops and others that my prior avatar may have offended, I've moved back to the prior one.

Well, Rob, you seem like one of the last hold-outs with your avatar. Have you gotten many PMs telling you how offended they are?  |

That's only because they don't recognize a realistic Crusader get up and think only of our blood-thirsty logo as a true representation of the slaughterers of innocents.  |

Since this thread is about PC, I will point out that Friar Tuck ran with a bunch of thieves that terrorized wealthy travelers through Sherwood Forest. Providence College is very insensitive

Didn't he also have a problem with the amount of wine and ale he consumed? |

I could be wrong, Tom, and will count on trivia czar, Phreek, to keep me honest but I think Friar Tuck was a Franciscan. I had them in high school and they were hard drinkers with case after case of empty beer bottles in the trash on Mondays. However, I believe the PC Friars are the more cerebral Dominican Friars. I'm not sure what their drinking rep is but doubt it matches my Franciscans. Jesuits seem to be more into cocktails and wine.

I once or twice helped unload cases of alcohol for the Irish Christian Brothers at their monastery at Bergen Catholic. I was amazed at the amount that some consumed. Apparently they had a rule that suggested they have only one drink a day...hence the 8 oz (and larger) glasses for hard liquor drinks. If you do it right, one drink a day can be enough. |

I'm not sure what their drinking rep is but doubt it matches my Franciscans. Jesuits seem to be more into cocktails and wine. I am more loyal to my family than I am to any band of thieves and knaves camping out in the King's Forest. Hugh de Neville was chief forester under Richard (the Lionheart), King John (Prince John during the days of the merry band), and Henry III. He administered about a third of the land in Britain, He was richly rewarded for his administration. Regrettably, nary a half penny has come down to me. Aside from being chief forester, Hugh was also sheriff of Lincolnshire, Hampshire, and Cumberland. But not Nottingham. As for tonsured clerics who drink far too much, I say only, "SOBER UP!" -- And definitely not a role model! As for his order, given when he supposedly lived, I'd say a wayward Benedictine, or an Augustinian. BTW, Richard the Lionheart spoke no English, and he was in England for but six months during his lifetime. I think Richard preferred the products of St. Emilion over the crusty ale consumed by those hiding out in the forest. |

Monastic orders in Britain (England and Wales) 12th Century,
Benedictines... the most powerful. They had the largest and richest abbeys.
Carthusians, Friar Tuck would never have been a Carthusian
Cistercians... Lincolnshire and Wales. A possibility. Lincolnshire is not that distant from Sherwoord Forest.
Augustinians ... Popular, hospitable and generous. Lived among the people, not in some great abbey. Friar Tuck's personality would fit best with this order.. However, they were known as the black canons, because of the color of their robes. I don't recall seeing a black-robed Friar Tuck.
Cluniacs Similar to Carthusians in their devotion.
Premonstratensians ... Strict and austere. The white canons.
Trinitarians gave alms to the poor, but few in number. The red friars.

Thanks for the facts . . . . . I'm sticking with the Franciscans!  Would that statement qualify as an "alternative fact?" |

and playing PC at presumably the Dunk. If we could get Brown on the schedule we could compete for the Rhode Island state championship!
