The third parcel is 129B Kendig., and that was sold to Holy Cross last year by Madison Kendig. Of the four parcels at the center of the legal dispute between Madison Kendig and HIGCO, Madison Kendig bought 15 Clay and 28 Boyden. Holy Cross bought 97-99 Kendig. The blurb below from the T&G indicates also HC bought 119 Kendig. I am not a subscriber to the T&G so I cannot access the real estate transfers page, to corroborate the snippet below from Google search. I believe the $1,200,000 is the price paid for both 119, and 97-99 Kendig. Jan 8, 2023 — $346,500, 119 Chestnut St, Massachusetts Comm Of, to 119 Chestnut ... $1,200,000, 119 Kendig St, Higco LLC, to College Of The Holy Cross.

Yes. I believe that was purchased in April 2022. So Holy Cross owns the last 3 properties on the north side of Kendig 129B, 131, & 133 (bordering the HC Campus) and the last 2 on the south side of Kendig 136 & 144.

Back to the 2023 season and our week 2 opponent. BC’s issues aren’t getting better following last year’s poor showing. Replaced both the offensive and defensive coordinator. In both cases with in-house assistants. One Opinion: The #1 thing that catches the eye? No new blood in the leadership roles. After a season that saw Boston College with the worst rushing attack in all of FBS football and the 2nd-worst overall defense in the ACC, Jeff Hafley decided not to make any outside hires for his coordinator positions and instead he promoted only from within.
So, what’s wrong with Boston College football? Why, after an utterly disappointing season, does the staff remain largely unchanged?
… Hafley’s performance was so bad last season that it has decimated his ability to recruit coaches from elsewhere and improve the program. If the Eagles are only able to run it back with a staff that got them nowhere in 2022, there is little reason for fans to believe 2023 will be any better…
What does Shimko [OC] bring to the offense that wasn’t present last season? His work with the quarterbacks last season was abysmal as BC fans were forced to watch Phil Jurkovec play some of the worst football of his career. Somehow, that resulted in a promotion.www.bcinterruption.com/platform/amp/2023/3/6/23625184/boston-college-football-is-spiraling-jeff-hafley-bc-eagles-zay-flowers-acc-head-coach-2023-nfl-draft

Stonehill and Wagner: 45 scholarships, 15 attending physicians.
Although Merrimack has made 45 scholarships sing. Perhaps because their coach was used to artfully spreading even fewer schollies across the whole roster in D-2. Maybe HC benefits from the same concept with Coach Chesney compared to our PL brethren who are used to having 60 and maybe don't wring the same value out of each dollar of scholarship as HC does.

Very good news for the coming season: The seating chart for Season Ticket purchases still has the "Home Sideline" on the SOUTH side of the stadium where it belongs.

The skeptics about northeast football in general and HC in particular will continue to exist as long as Sam and his cohorts continue to write about them( though Sam professed to not be included)

Point well taken in the article regarding our weak FCS schedule and the need to really thump those teams. And not just the patsies like Lehigh, Laffy, Georgetown, etc.
Also thought the article was on target on the need for another offensive mismatch to complement Sluka.

And not just the patsies like Lehigh, Laffy, Georgetown, etc. Also thought the article was on target on the need for another offensive mismatch to complement Sluka. Let's send them some film of the Coker kid..... The article is referencing our goal of a deep run in the playoffs: What other weapons step up on offense?
Holy Cross had a balanced attack in 2022, rushing for 245.1 YPG and passing for 204.3. It was the Sluka show in the quarterfinals, though, almost single-handedly keeping Holy Cross in the game through the first three quarters with his legs, rushing 26 times for 213 yards and a score while throwing for 125 yards…
A high-level question for the offensive unit is who else besides Sluka can be a game-breaker for Holy Cross to accomplish its high postseason goals. Like the defense, the potential is there on paper to go from good to great.(Note: The article notes many of our talented returnees, including Coker.)

Excellent assessment by Herder....and as many of us say repeatedly, the PL is an anchor when it comes to national recognition. Northeast FCS football has fallen off the map. Only team that gets the benefit of the doubt is UNH.

Let the doubters and skeptics say what they may. We all understand the upward trajectory and the commitment in place to continue to excel. Nothing about last year matters this year. Looking forward to seeing the play on the field answer any and all questions.

Herder does a good job acknowledging our potential route to a playoff seed as well as analyzing what we need to do to advance further next season in the playoffs.

I think that article is spot on...while it exposes some of our "warts", keep in mind the premise of the article is "how does Holy Cross establish itself as a top 4 seed"...a conversation that virtually anytime in the previous 30 years would have been ludicrous. I'm excited for this season, and while a close, well fought football game is always more interesting to watch, I'm going to view the entire season as a lead in to a championship run...give me the good games in the playoffs, let Chesney make a statement about how good this team is throughout the season and just roll everybody!

Herder does a nice job....my only gripe in general is the disrespect the Ivies get from many non-Northeast journalists. Sort of self-imposed by the Ivies mainly scheduling soft OOC, but the Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton and Yale teams ovah the last 10 or so years would match up well with many of the so-called FCS powers in other parts of the country.

We over-inflate Ivy football on this board greatly. Nationally they're pretty much seen as scared to play actual competition on a consistent basis. No matter how good we think Harvard is those that make up the FCS committee think very little of HYP. Their self-impose, ridiculous exile in the football world will always hurt Holy Cross.

Ivy football is much bettah today than it was in the 90s and 00s....many of them have put a lot more $$$ in recently for financial aid, to the point where they are basically an all-full scholarship rostah.
Is every Ivy a strong program? No, but the top 2 or 3 teams every year usually from that cohort of HYPD, are among the Top 25 FCS programs .
I agree though, the bias against them nationally is a bit of an anchor for HC football.

A Dartmouth team last year that had one of the worst offenses I saw only lost 14-0 to NCAA participant UNH.

The top 8-10 players on the top half of the Ivies (HYP) are top tier FCS players. One interesting stat is that 14 Ivy League 2023 grad Transfers are heading to the FBS Power 5 for the fall season. The Big Sky which was arguably the deepest FCS conference last season has 9. The MVC, Big Sky etc get the advantage on HC, Harvard, Yale, Princeton re. depth. Herder alludes to this in is article which is fair.
The drop off in talent between the 1s and 2s is where northeastern FCS football doesn’t compare to the big conferences elsewhere.

I think a fall afternoon at Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, and even Holy Cross is much more relaxing than going to a MAC level FBS game
