Is there an 11 day gap between games? Does that seem weird?

I believe we have agreed that irrespective of Catawba's website, this is a regular season game vs. a D-2 opponent.

Yeah, didn't want to say either way, just basing it on what I saw. On gomason.com - it doesn't say an exhibition.

Doesn't really matter, for RPI purposes it doesn't count either way. Not that it matters this season.

It matters whenever a D-I team loses to a non-D-I team during the regular season.

Yes, it shows if your team sucks. So does losing to bad DI schools. What's your point?

 

[phoenix-arizona]

I love the idea of playing at the RAC. Would love to see two-three games a year played here, maybe one out of conference and one or two conference.

If we can't break 70 Vs. Catawba then it will not happen this season.

I think we're so bad right now that Catawba thinks this would be better considered an exhibition game for them, so we don't bring down their RPI!

... and for us, Hewitt wants any win he can get!

While I too like the idea of playing in the RAC, the problem is the lack of seating and amenities. I think we have more season ticket holders than there are seats at the RAC. Plus, where would you put the Green and Gold rooms?

I'm sure that you understand the negative media attention resulting in a loss to a non-D-I team - see http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2014...ces-beats-drexel-first-non-di-team-to-beat-di, http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/12/university-of-the-sciences-drexel, & http://www.philly.com/philly/sports..._University_of_the_Sciences_stuns_Drexel.html.

Don't think it can get much worse. In the immortal words of Harry Doyle, "Don't worry. Nobody's listening anyway."

 

[The Great PATSby]

Season ticket holders... Don't forget today is the last day if you attended the Manhattan and ODU game to request free tickets for this game.

Can this really be called game#9? More like glorified scrimmage #2.
