In the Hart Center tonight, after the HC game, the last couple of minutes of the AU-Loyola game was shown on the video boards for those in attendance.
As soon as the AU-Loyola game was over, the video board had a picture of the team, with Patriot League Regular Season Champions banner. Excellent package put together by video team.

Interesting video recently posted on You Tube and the Big Green Alert Blog regarding the Ivy League and a very hypothetical scenario regarding relevancy and expansion.

The reference is not about physical location. The reference is ESPN+ vs Flo Sports as a broadcast platform.

The AHA should negotiate their rights with ESPN+. From what I have read, Flo is overpriced and technically inadequate regarding broadcast. I enjoy hockey, but will not subscribe to that network.

HCFC45: Thank you for your investigative regarding the event at the most recent WBB game against Navy. I was sitting under the large video board near the HC bench and missed the confrontation at the other end of the court near the Navy bench. It’s unfortunate that the song continues to divide the opinion of many due to the author as well as a reference as being interpreted to defending slavery in the third stanza. www.dictionary.com/e/star-spangled-banner/It is also unfortunate that instead of trying to understand why the two women were sitting down as the Star Spangled Banner was being played, and approach them in a civilized manner after the anthem was played, the men involved immediately launch a confrontation. Francis Scott Key, had a less than admirable background regarding enslaved people. Key was a founding member and active leader of the American Colonization Society (ACS), whose primary goal was to send free black people to Africa. In order to understand the opposition to the man and how his words in both poetry and in the courtroom as a lawyer, continues to divide the United States, it is essential that people not act with animosity as the men did at the game, but seek an understanding of the intellectual facts of why he was a less than honorable. One can start by reading this article written in the Smithsonian Magazine, July 1, 2016. www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/wheres-debate-francis-scott-keys-slave-holding-legacy-180959550/As well as the summations from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key

She was offered a scholarship. Picture of Weimar and Shazer were on Twitter and posted on Crossports . It was June 29, 2019. Of course, during the reign of the previous Admission Director, and Interim WBB Coach, we can only speculate why the deal was not sealed with HC. crossports.freeforums.net/thread/2797/2020-recruiting-thread?page=2

Others to consider: lummox, lout, goon, ox, clod If Michael Vicens were playing yesterday vs that fellow; Draft Kings would have had "double ejection" at even money. Of course, Army loses and HC blew another chance at a home game. If only we could recruit a Michael Vicens or a Jared Curry every four years…… We need attitude on the court, no back down to intimidation. Stare them down into submission.

Otto qualifies for another of your great descriptions, "Big Oaf." Others to consider: lummox, lout, goon, ox, clod I like goon as the description. Seems appropriate.

The Women are very close in Scholarship grant money to the men. According to the chart attached in the link below, Women’s aid average is $16,235, Men $16,827. Reviewing the chart, it is easy to see why UConn, BC, BU, Quinnipiac, Northeastern, PC are winning the recruiting battles against HC currently. Several are averaging more than twice the amount of aid provided. It is also enlightening to review the average SAT Math and ACT score reported for each school. Show to provide all entries including Holy Cross, to see the entire chart beyond the initial 10 scholarshipstats.com/hockey

Disappointed that Callie was reclassified. Was hoping we had her available to play for another year.
If there is another scholarship available, the staff should search far and wide, once the portal is open, for a 6-3 or taller center. While Cahalan has shown her ability to score from the perimeter, the team needs to bolster its combative inside presence to be effective in rebounding next year. Time to see if the 1843 Collective and the 90 Wide Program will provide additional incentive in recruitment of a high caliber player.
Really ashamed that the previous staff missed on finalizing and having the commitment of Weimar (originally Marist now BU) and Shazer (Marist) who are seniors this year.

I'd like to see HC buy Rotmans and turn it into a 1)Crusader Sports Museum, and 2)some sort of football game day experience venue (haven't thought this part out). Maybe Crossports could lease some office space. A Holy Cross Sports Museum is strongly being considered and in the preliminary planning stages in the Hart Center as part of the Hall of Fame. I would expect to see it being constructed within the next five years once the money is raised. It will have exhibits as well as interactive displays featuring video such as Purple Reign and highlights of significant victories, thinking the 1988 Princeton game, etc.

You once again entirely miss the point. What was the thinking behind changing names? I would think Dutchmen pays homage to the founders like Friars does at Providence College but obviously there is another point of view. Mascots that are gender and ethnocentric may not reflect the current demographics of a college or university. Dutchmen at Union and Flying Dutchmen at Hofstra clearly do not reflect the current population. While Union original roots were from the Dutch Reform Church, Chartered in 1795, Union was the first non-denominational institution of higher education in the United States. Students enrolled at Union College in full-time Undergraduate programs are most commonly White Female (29.2%), followed by White Male (18.4%) and Hispanic or Latino Female (12.8%). As colleges and universities seek to attract students, mascot identity from an ethnocentric or religious standpoint is often viewed as a barrier in recruitment. For example, Elon University mascot, “The Fighting Christians” was changed to The Phoenix”, as that university decided that they should expand their student population from the southern Bible Belt to throughout the United States looking at students from Christian as well as non Christian denominations and demographics. As we have seen, there are certain exceptions to that viewpoint, namely the University of Notre Dame du Lac. The enrolled student population at University of Notre Dame is 62.5% White, 11.1% Hispanic or Latino, 4.94% Asian, 4.81% Two or More Races, 3.3% Black or African American, 0.183% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.114% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders. At the point in the 21st Century when the demographics have changed regarding the ethnicity at Notre Dame, the mascot and iconography may be under review.
