FWIW, Colgate claimed this game as an attendance of 1,827. Pretty sure that’s the game where, as a gesture of local goodwill, they gave every student at Hamilton College a free ticket and included those tickets in the attendance number. Just for the record, is there a visitors' stand as well as a home stand...of course, if the visiting fans matched the home fans, we'd be up to about 300 there tops. What's Hamilton College have to do with Colgate University, 20 miles apart from each other.

That stadium looks like the one where the three stooges found everybody when they were census takers and nobody was home.

Still don’t quite get how Robert Morris has an FCS football program at all given the size of their endowment. I wonder how Wofford has a FCS football program and a Division 1 Athletic Program with an overall enrollment of 1,692.

Hard to believe Robt Morris has only a $36MM endowment

At game time on that day, it was 36 degrees and raining, so it's not surprising few people showed up. The opponent was Georgetown, so there were not many fans on the other side.

Davidson: 1843 students, FCS Football record of 8-4 last year, endowment $919 million. I think they will survive. They have an endowment of half a million dollars per student.

Colgate is in Hamilton, whereas, Hamilton College is not! Go figure.

I was surprised to find out Hamilton College was that close to Hamilton, NY. Always thought they were at least 100 miles away from each other.

Staying in the NEC for football, keeping membership at eight schools sounds logical to me. The Pioneer Football League has nine members and if you move to ten that doesn't leave much room for OOC games and the travel would be greater. Being an FCS Independent would make for an interesting schedule each year but a scheduling nightmare when you throw in Covid-19 to the mix.

Both Hamilton College in Clinton, NY and the town of Hamilton, NY were named after Alexander Hamilton. The town of Clinton, NY was named after George Clinton, the first Governor of NY. The town of Clinton, MA was named after a hotel.

The NEC might not let them stay as a football affiliate. 6 years ago Monmouth left the NEC for the MAAC but wanted to stay for football. NEC told them to pack their bags.

All this time I thought the town was named after the George Clinton of the Parliaments and the Parliaments Funkadelic. 🤣 Have to keep a sense of humor during these trying times.

They put some protein shakes in those bags by the way they played HC. Last year Monmouth and Holy Cross each only played six regular season league games and ended up with fourteen and thirteen total games played respectively. That makes thing interesting for fans.

I admire RMU's spunk. They have a beautiful new BB arena and are moving up in both MBB and FB as far as conference competitiveness goes. They are working it and not letting any moss grow.

Opens the door for New Haven who has been rumored to jump up the last few years New Haven has a perfect location for the NEC. The Northeast Ten is like a Timex watch. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. So far anyway. Any word from the University on Salisbury St. about their thinking?

You've got the wrong Governor Clinton. The Erie Canal was the brainchild of DeWitt Clinton, governor of New York a quarter century or so after George. "Clinton's Ditch" ranks right up there with "Seward's Folly" as far as totally erroneous political soubriquets are concerned.

Clinton, Mass. was spun off from Lancaster (the "Mother Town") around the mid 1800s and was named after the Hotel Dewitt Clinton in Albany according to some sources.
