Re: Casino proposed at coliseum property would be awful for

Let's discuss the facts as we know them. 1. NYS is issuing an additional 3 casino licenses; this is 100% happening. There is thought to maybe stagger them but over the next few years they will be issued. 2. All 3 licenses will be issued in the downstate area (essentially NYC, Nassau, Suffolk or West...

Re: Is this Estrada’s last year of eligibility?

I would like to see the NCAA prohibiting players from playing for more than three schools unless they have a reason unrelated to athletics and making money. In 2005-2006 when we had our best regular season, ten players had significant minutes, and eight of them played for us for four seasons. That ...

Re: Is this Estrada’s last year of eligibility?

He has another year of edibility remaining. That is a definite fact. The 2020-21 season did not count as a year for anyone. The bigger question is will he return to Hofstra next year. While anything is possible I don't necessarily see him transferring to a bigger school after he already tried Oregon...

Re: Casino proposed at coliseum property would be awful for

Don't worry; NYS only has 3 licenses to award and there are around 8 or 9 serious proposals. I would say this is the least likeliest of any of the proposals to be issued a license.

The betting odds on ESPN just come from Caesar’s. And remember those odds are designed to make money for the casino no matter what happens not predict a winner.

A positive from this; Hofstra took a private jet per the below linked tweet. Glad to see something like this done instead of just flying commercial. I am sure helps with team morale and recruiting.

Re: What's Next for JWF?

Have to wonder if the antisemitic issue JWF had a couple years ago is hurting him (which he did apologize for) and its something Hofstra is just trying to distance from especially with some of the high profile anti-Semitism going on now. (not looking to debate if you feel it was actually anti-Semiti...

Thought this thread would appreciate this tweet. Like it or not this is how polls work. It’s not a conspiracy against ranking Hofstra above Iona.

Video quality definitely better today. And Hofstra played a lot better. Not going to crazy analyzing this game as it is still a tough angle to really see everything and I also missed the start of the second half. Clearly Estrada didn't have his A game but the other guys stepped up. Got some solid be...

I have no idea what to say. Not that I don’t know wha to say about Hofstra. Just not sure how anyone can really analyze that game watching that video stream. Pretty sure it was a fish eye shot and the cameraman wasn’t even showing the ball about 1/3rd the team. Hopefully the rest of the weekend is b...

Just paid for the livestream and the video is terrible. It keeps lagging and already crashed once on me. Had it on for a minute or two. Anyone else having these issues?

Re: College Insider Mid-Major Top 25

Hofstra with the loss to St Mary's goes from 16 to 17. I wonder how far up we would gone if we had won. OK not to start this debate again. But more importantly Towson is at #6 and Charleston with a 5-1 record comes from out of nowhere to #8 and Iona now #11. Soooo how did Charleston who was not ran...

They took rushed and low percentage shots. They finally settled down and got back to the offense they were running earlier in the season.

Re: MBB Game 2 - Iona, 11/11/22, 7 PM

Just some food for thought we took 29 threes and hit 14. I wonder what the narrative on this board would have been had we shot in the 30% range in this game. It has been talked about a lot here our over reliance on the three ball. But do they still take as many as 29 if only hitting 30%? If they st...

Re: MBB Game 2 - Iona, 11/11/22, 7 PM

Per an e-mail from Hofstra there are limited amount of tickets left. So looks like will most likely be a sellout but they don't seem to be bringing back any of the 200 sections besides the sections under the suites & student section. Not sure what that ends up putting capacity at. Just remember...
