I thought I would sleep on this and perhaps my mind would change but the word FORDHAM kept flickering through my nightmare. I believe they had the same aspirations a few years ago as you do now. They acted on it and now I believe they are in some kind of football limbo and the program is in decline. They joined the A-10 in all other sports and yes, the get bi-ennial visits from Xavier, St. Joes and until recently Temple but they are absolute bottom feeders there with virtually no chance in the near future of ever having the types of moments we are enjoying this year.
Bucknell’s following is something we need to aspire to. However, there is almost nothing else to do in Lewisburg during the winter and they have had NCAA success. Question: Did Bucknell’s scheduling and following change radically after their wins over Kansas and then Arkansas? I seem to remember the Zoo Crew of Lafayette being the paragon of student involvement before then.
