In 2014, it was announced that Harvard and HC would play through 2025. Guess they changed their minds once we got good. That’s usually Yale’s MO. They’ll likely cancel too after the next HC win.

Our 11th game in the Fall of 2021? Please don't say Merrimack..... Welcome to the future son. Given their location, their Catholic Identity and their current low to mid D-1 level of competition like HC, I suspect Merrimack will become a regular opponent across multiple sports in the years to come.

There are no Harvard non-leaguers on that site after this season. I wouldn't be very alarmed about their absence.

Home and home with URI? That’s great for some of us. Think that is a manifestation of the recognition of our improved status.

On that site, Harvard's 2023 schedule consists of two games, Dartmouth and Brown. The intensity of playing two games in a season looks to be too much for the Johnnies, in 2025, they only play Brown. Brown's OOC schedules for 2024-2027 are the same three opponents, Bryant, Georgetown, and URI. UNH is back on the Dartmouth schedule, annually, except for 2024.

Yale must have figured out that playing us makes them look good! I am sorry to not see Dartmouth anywhere.

Not sorry to see Brown go, close or not close. Interesting that through 2027 there's a round robin with them, URI and Bryant. I'm sure some clever poster can come up with an appropriate person to name the trophy after.

Buddy Bowl? Clever but Buddy was mayor of Providence and neither Bryant nor URI (main campus) are in Providence.
If they want to name it after a crook, HC alum, Ed DiPrete was governor which encompasses the entire state they are all in but would lack the catchy HC92 alliteration of Buddy Bowl.
P.S. I do recognize this is football, not basketball and I’m just as enthused. We have a much better chance of winning either or both games and they would both be home games for me.

Perhaps the Claiborne Pell Bowl with the winners getting a free toll pass on the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge and a 10% boost in their Pell Grants?

URI Football has been a joke for about 20 years going from scholarships to non scholarships to nearly cutting the program to now coming back to scholarship play. By far, the worst team in the CAA. In 2019, they had two wins for the entire season over Merrimack and Brown.

A very winnable CAA contest for HC.

Claiborne Pell sounds like he should be the senator from some Southern state, not Rhode Island--not to mention Sheldon Whitehouse and Lincoln Chafee.

Small States need politicians with distinctive names to be noticed. Trivia question: Lincoln Chafee was one of two candidates for President in 2016 who attended Andover Academy with Bill Belichick. Who was the other one?

In 2019, they had two wins for the entire season over Merrimack and Brown. URI did have some close losses (I saw their last second loss to SBU) in 2019 and I saw some talent out there. They are getting better at bringing in transfers. The year before (2018) they were actually pretty good (6-5 with wins v Delaware, Albany, Harvard, Brown, W&M, and UNH....lost a wild 49-56 game to UCONN). Yes, they’ve had some awful CAA seasons (and this year’s URI CAA schedule is daunting) but I think we’ll see very good games v HC.

It's only 2 years anyway, better them than several other possibilities. Much better, actually.

Definitely a good series to have on the calendar. Just not sure I agree with my friend sader1970 that scheduling a home-and-home with them is a sign of our improved status in the college football world.

Rather play Sacred Heart? Maybe CCSU for geography? Yeah, they are not UConn or UMass but better than a lot of teams we’ve played over the years. I went to the first Bryant game which should have been an easy win but we lost a close one on a missed field goal if my memory is correct.

Regarding the spring schedule, I found this comment from FUCOP69, on the Fordham Board. It appears that HC will play Fordham on either 3/13 or 3/20.
“Re: Will There Be Spring Football? « Reply #37 on: February 03, 2021, 01:22:59 am » Quote I now have ½ of our schedule, courtesy of TheValleyRaider on Any Given Saturday:
3/13 TBD 3/20 TBD 3/27 Lafayette @ JCF 4/03 Colgate @ JCF
One of the first 2 games has to be Holy Cross. The other will be Lehigh or Bucknell.
Will fans be allowed to attend? To be determined.”

I was there with you. I am still grumbling and grousing regarding the results. It ruined a nice evening dinner and a planned overnight stay in the Ocean State. I was so annoyed, I cancelled plans and returned home. 😡

Can't remember much about the Bryant game except there was a missed (or blocked) field goal at the end.
The three Gilmore losses that really stick out in terms of bad luck were Wagner, Albany and Dartmouth. The first two featured fumble runbacks when we were running out the clock (one was a helmet-to-helmet hit that should have been targeting), the other a missed extra point that would have won it with no time left on the clock.

Meant to type August 31, 2013 not August 32, 2013. The typo has been corrected.
