W/what was posted last week, some folks can attend; don't think that was the case if the game was Saturday. Also, should be at Fitton unless there is an out-of-season weather event before that.? Why would spring snow ever cancel a FB game?

If Degenhardt reverts to his 2019 form we should be in very good shape

If Degenhardt reverts to his 2019 form we should be in very good shape I think the issue for Degenhardt is that his 2019 performance, which was decent, may be his ceiling. If we want to be a team that hangs out in the national top 25 on a regular basis, we need more from the QB position.

If we want to be a team that hangs out in the national top 25 on a regular basis, we need more from the QB position. agree with both of these sentiments... however do we need to be a QB centric team? our QB situation is somewhat locked in for this & next season. I think coach first wants a game manager [managers?]...i.e. good ball handling/no fumbles & opportunistic passing. a prerequisite is good OL & RB play... also not evident on Saturday what seems to be in place is good to very good D & special teams play

(I guess it is Degenhadt’s position to lose this ‘season’).

hcpride, I would agree. I also believe that Coach Chesney sees the QB position as game manager...just don't do anything to "lose" the game. With 2 weeks to work on OL play and the timing on running plays, things should smooth out. l would hope that we get to see someone else at QB for at least a series or two (once the game is in hand).

Does anyone have an info. as to whether either of the senior QBs are planning on returning to HC for a 5th year?

Colgate game is postponed due to COVID issues. Season probably in jeopardy at this point.

Sources tell me that Colgate’s equipment manager has COVID. If they didn’t catch this early it’s probably safe to assume that they have several positive COVIDs within the inner circle of their team. Not a positive development to say the least.

The HC team is still practicing. Noticed the team standing on the track in practice uniforms, while waiting for Fr.K field to clear after the HC Women’s Lax game against Merrimack. HC Women won 19-12. Jolie Creo had 8 goals and three assists.

Wouldn't shock me to see them play Lehigh again.

/\ /\ Maybe we'll play Lehigh over and over like we played BU in hoops. But we'll sweep.

Why would spring snow ever cancel a FB game? Talking about playing at Fitton, not playing the game in general. There's alternative fields, as you know. As much as I think they under utilize the place, I doubt they would play a game there that would tear the turf up.

Probably too late now but which PL teams are now free this weekend?
Edit: Looked it up. Colgate and Fordham are quarantined. Laf and Bucknell are playing. Lehigh and HC are free. Let’s play two!

What about nothing this week, Fordham next (in place of Colgate), and Colgate on the makeup Saturday?

I rather HC vs Lafayette this week, with Lehigh vs Bucknell.

I rather HC vs Lafayette this week, with Lehigh vs Bucknell. Agree and let teams play on Sunday if they need an extra day to prepare. ESPN+ should be able to adjust. They can stream as many games as needed at the same time. I wonder if the camera operators and on site technicians are sent by ESPN or are Holy Cross employees/contractors? That could make a difference.

Hearing that the Fordham game is being moved up to next weekend, either March 27 or 28, presumably at Fitton. Based upon recent events, nothing is guaranteed and the schedule for the remainder of the spring season will likely remain quite fluid the rest of the way.

Honestly until the team travels to the game and kicks the ball off then you know you are playing a game.

They just provide the service and a few broadcasters here and there.
