Foles- there’s an expression you need to digest, understand, and accept: “ a man’s got to know when to cut his losses”. Stop the nonsense- learn from yourvisits here and stop the buffoonery UNH is part of the least funded state university system. That is a fact. (They actually are the least funded in the country yours.usnh.edu/state-budget-request/)They have been lucky that they had one of the worst football facilities in the country during the early to mid 2010's and they were able to make the NCAA tournament in 14 straight years. They have made the tournament in 15 (11 of those years they won a game in the NCAA tournament) out of the last 20 seasons. Please tell me when Holy Cross has even come close to that success level.

The first penny UNH gets from the cold dead hands of the Granite State Legislature will put it over HC's state funding haul. We'll see the UNH Wildcats on September 7th, the third straight game at Fitton between these two fine institutions.
Does UNH stay over or bus down on Saturday morning?

When does Maine get to play Holy Cross? Are we on the "do not play" list?

HC played Maine on 11-14-03 and won 5-0 at Maplewood Park in Bangor. That's 1903. Long but convenient rail travel between the two cities.
I hope the Crusader eleven stayed at the Bangor House Hotel as did five U.S. Presidents.

When does Maine get to play Holy Cross? Are we on the "do not play" list? I wouldn't say the Black Bears are on the "do not play" list but probably on the "we'll play them only if we're stuck" list. With the addition of Richmond next year, we'll only have 4 OOC tilts most years. I'm guessing we'll continue to play a couple Ivies, and an FBS game....which leaves little wiggle room to make a trek to Orono when there are many FCS schools much closer to Wisstahh. Not against it, we played a few games in the 80s, but I just don't see it happening.....but who knows?

Have you checked the Maine 2050 & 2052 schedules? HC has played Maine 6 times in 120 years. 1903 1906 1932 - 26 Years between 2 game series 1935 1982 - 47 Years between 2 game series 1984 So to keep that pattern between 2 game series we have to wait 68 years to the next 2 game series, so see you in 2050 and 2052.

Interesting...Maplewood Park in Bangor is the present day site of Bass Park ( Paul Bunyan Statue, Bangor Raceway, Bangor State Fair and Cross Insurance Center) . The Bangor House Hotel ( now an elderly and disabled apartment dwelling ) is a few hundred yards away on Main St.

My suggestion: You agree to leave this board until the UNH Mildcats tie the Holy Cross Crusaders with a second NCAA National Championship (in any sport whatsoever), and upon said occurrence the posters on this board will welcome you back with open arms. Until that time, however, you agree to gracefully depart, and take your obvious envy to another institution’s board. Deal?

I am not bringing UNH up...you guys are the ones that continue to bring it up. I just stated that Marquette Volleyball had attendance better than some Holy Cross football games. Just the same as many other FCS schools.

I think it was 1984, not 1985. Cold and windy as one might expect.
Believe it was one game Fr. Brooks focused on when explaining his PL decision. "no one goes to away games anyway" (because most of us are smarter than to travel up north in late November for an outdoor event!).

You are correct Tim. I fat fingered that. Corrected above.

I wonder if Marcus Blossom has gone to see the Oracle of Omaha to see if Warren Buffet is going to let Phil Knight outshine him? Good luck, Buffet still gets his breakfast at the McDonald's drive through window every morning.

The Athletic noted today that UCLA’s schedule this season will have them traveling 22,000 miles.

Who would think our little PL football conference would be so solid geographically. If we could just convince Nova or W&M to jump
