Sader1970, thanks for sharing this. Coach Chesney and staff are truly special people along with being fabulous football coaches. As Crusaders, we truly have much to be grateful for in terms of the pride, glory and honor being brought to Holy Cross by all those connected to HCFB.
Truly great days to be a Crusader.

Crucis, Very strong concluding statement regarding the post-Brooks leadership of Alma Mater prior to VR. No substitute for truly strong, principled leadership. I concur that DG embodies those virtues and character traits that would have served Alma Mater in exceptional fashion.

I have had the great good fortune of getting to know Denny Golden over the last 15 years. My impressions of Denny Golden: a total class act, a visionary and leader without peer, a Crusaders' Crusader, and a loyal son of Holy Cross . . aside from all that, just an all around great guy.

There is nothing like competitive sports to generate excitement and passion for our college. Coach Chesney captures it perfectly.

Prime coverage on the Dan Patrick Show as well:
There is REAL and MAJOR economic value being generated to the benefit of the college from all this exposure. I hope the folks in the Marketing Office on campus are tracking it and can quantify.
Inquiring minds asking the same.

Instant Classic The 17.5k people in attendance will remember yesterdayโs heavyweight match forever. The 50k who will lay claim to have been there will add to the legend. Yesterdays Final Stats are worthy of being saved for posterity. www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401425415A truly special day in every regard. The poise our Crusaders displayed to execute at the most critical junctures in yesterdayโs game was exemplary. Credit to Fordham. LOTS of talent on that team. Just a pointโs worth โmore creditโ to our victorious Crusaders. Winners find a way. Very much looking forward to the upcoming chapters in this ongoing and as yet uncompleted script. Canโt โput this book downโ. ๐ LETโS WIN . . . !! โ๏ธ๐๐ป๐๐๐พโ๏ธ #PRIDE #COMMITMENT #EXCELLENCE โA commitment to excellence in winning on and off the field.โ

The challenge of winning college football games โon the roadโ is significant. Having only had 1 game of true โhome cookingโ entering the 8th game of the season should not go unnoticed. Would be willing to bet that our Crusaders are one of if not the most โwell traveledโ teams to date this season in all of college football.
The comfort and confines of Fitton Field with an expected meaningful home crowd should provide for some great home cooking and home field advantage.
LETโS WIN!!

What is transpiring within the program succinctly stated is a reflection and embracing of an oft-stated mission, that is: โA commitment to excellence in helping our Crusaders win on and off the field.โ
Coach Chesney and staff, the Crusaders and alums involved in the 90W are clearly all operating on the same page. The incremental funds raised via the Fueling the Momentum campaign are hugely meaningful and also a reflection of widespread alumni support.
The administration has bought in and is very supportive. Thank you John and Joanne Luth.
The culture within and around HCFB is incredibly positive and remarkably healthy. Our current Crusaders and their families/parents are the programโs best salespeople. They are most pleased.
As part of our 90Wide program there will be ten Crusader alums speaking to the team followed by Q/A tomorrow night. Huge props to Bill Maloney โ59 who has led this specific event long before the 90W was launched in 2009.

Musco provided the lights for the prior night games in 2011 (UMass) 2012 (UNH) and 2014 (Monmouth).
Call me superstitious but I feel like this thread is tempting fate.

Canโt put a valuation on or properly game plan for the confidence within a program that is at such a level that the team fully expects to win.
This is the ultimate. This is the reality of the dynamic within HCFB.
Letโs not only appreciate this. Letโs further embrace it to elevate the program even further.

Final Stats: www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401418597Harvard receiver Wimberly outstanding. Jalen Coker even better. Sluka: beast Zero turnovers Another blocked punt and a second one which I believe was deflected. Our special teams are truly special. Won the 2nd half . . . AGAIN A few dropped passes which if caught the final point margin is somewhere between 14-21 points Making History: beating H and Y in same year first time ever. A TRUE TEAM EFFORT. Great day to be a Crusader LETโS . . . KEEP . . . WINNING โ๏ธ๐๐ป๐๐๐พโ๏ธ

90-Wide Thursday Night TD Club at BT's Chicken + BBQ (Park Ave./Worcester)
Another wildly successful 90-Wide Thursday Night TD Club feast extravaganza. This one last night at BT's BBQ in which the Crusader D-line 'maxxed out' on MORE pulled pork, brisket, chicken and bbq with all the fixins than one can imagine. What was addressed and accomplished?
Main Goal: 1. Our D-line will be tipping the scales at max levels today creating an even further challenge for the crowd from Cambridge's O-line tomorrow. (stated only mildly in jest). . . . CHECK . .
90-Wide Goals: Yours truly and local Woo and Crusader legend Whitey Moynihan '83 reviewed the following:
2. Longstanding history between our Crusaders and those who founded and then further established Alma Mater and the crowd from Cambridge and the respectful interaction or lack thereof going waaay back. No love lost. . . . CHECK . .
3. Importance of our Crusaders 'engaging' the 90-Wide mentors, being intellectually curious, stepping beyond their comfort zones, growing and going, questioning, 'thinking big' and ultimately 'working their ass off' in these AND ALL their pursuits on and off the field. . . CHECK . .
4. Maximizing their talents and being honest with that 'man in the mirror.' . . CHECK . .
5. Establishing 'reach targets' and goals and being methodical and disciplined in pursuing them. . . CHECK . .
6. Understanding and appreciating that we are ALL Crusaders, brothers and that as FAMILY there is nothing that we can not accomplish in helping our Crusaders learn to help themselves. . . CHECK . .
7. 90-Wide History: reviewed that when the 90W was launched in 2009 that it was done with the view that there were then 2nd and 3rd graders who would matriculate at HC with the 90W playing a meaningful factor in those decisions. Those sitting around that table at BT's are those 2nd and 3rd grade kids and that they too will also have the opportunity to 'pay it forward' in due course so that other current 2nd and 3rd grade kids will also come to the Cross and also feast at BT's as well while pursuing their 'commitment to excellence in winning on and off the field." . . . CHECK . .
75 minutes later, we wiped the tables down and our Crusaders headed back to campus to crack the books.
LET'S WIN!!

There are many reasons why not to discuss the personal health and well being of any of our Crusaders especially during a period of time when the discussion would simply be viewed as 'speculation.'
Let's remember that our Crusaders are NOT professional athletes. They are student-athletes in the truest sense of the word which is why it is so gratifying and worthwhile to support them in their 'commitment to excellence on and off the field.'
Aside from these personal factors, there are a host of other reasons for the program as well NOT to want boards of this sort to engage in speculation. We can display our appreciation for the efforts of the coaches and the student-athletes by respecting their rights to personal privacy. Whether Jacob, Pat McMurtrie, Byron, Jacob Petersen, Christian Ross and/or anybody who suffered an injury at any point in the Colgate game, prior games, practice, training or slipping in the shower, let's allow all of our Crusaders the benefit of personal privacy that they deserve when it comes to topics of this nature.
Let's Win!!

Game Stats: www.espn.com/college-football/matchup/_/gameId/401435072Very balanced offense Patrick Haugney never touched the field. Clearly need to clean up the โlack of disciplineโ penalties. Those can and will be more costly in closer games. This said, I donโt recall any holding penalties, any offsides so I think this area can/will be quickly cleaned up. Quite a play by Hunter Burns. Matt Sluka, clearly a special talent. Jalen Coker as well. Good to see many kids getting meaningful P/T. Overall stats indicate that the game was not as close as the final score but how often have we seen a team that plays to the level of the competition. A common occurrence. A solid W. Clean up the sloppiness. Accentuate the strengths. Achieve then exceed the potential. Great days to be a Crusader. LETโS WIN. #Commitment #Excellence
