Re: Farewell Delaware

Fordham can go kick rocks. If they are worried about HOFSTRA then they don't deserve to be in the league to begin with. If we could allow SBU, they can certainly handle this. And if they were smart, they would ENCOURAGE it because it's good for them, for the league, and for NY. Very similar to why V...

Re: Farewell Delaware

Look, I hate what's happening in college sports as much as the next fan, but the reality is it IS happening, and HU continues to sit on the sideline watching peer programs at least display some aspiration to elevate themselves. HU makes NO money because they aren't playing this game well. CUSA isn't...

Re: Men's Soccer 2023

Gave myself last night to sulk lol, and I'm certain they are heartbroken at this loss... that's a really tough way to go out in this sport, esp with a first-ever elite 8 right there for the taking. But it's a new day and I wanted to make sure I say CONGRATULATIONS to this team!! These guys put out o...

Re: Men's Soccer 2023

Certainly soccer is a wild sport like that, a level of "luck" is a factor. Unfortunately this is only the 2nd sweet 16 in program history - it's not like HU can just go oh well wait till next year. These opps are SO few and far between for a place like HU, you have to do it when its there....

Re: Men's Soccer 2023

Just B R U T A L. PK's are always a horrible way to lose. Man... they had this game won and somehow managed to steal a loss from a victory. Have to say they should've won this - really should not have gone to OT - that's on HU. Can't scream about it, soccer is fickle, obviously a great year, but thi...

Re: MBB Game 07 South Florida, Nov 30 (Thu), 7 PM

USF isn't a power this year, but wow losing to Maine is shocking and a terrible L. That said, HU need only be inward focused and continue to build themselves up - they are on the right track, keep developing - let's use the momentum and protect the home floor - about to hit a serious portion of this...

Re: Men's Soccer 2023

WOW, that's yet another big upset in this tourney with another top seed going down!! I really think HU can make a historical run here... their path is more than reasonable, UNC will be the toughest test, but I believe this HU squad can do it - they are very seasoned, super skilled, and built to win ...

Erased the bad taste of the two losses, and coming back to NY with positive momentum for a really nice game against USF at home. I did c...

Re: MBB Game 06 High Point, Nov 22 (Wed), 7:30 PM

Tonight I’m banking on the cohesiveness and experience of the HU staff and the core returning players to pull this W out. I think HPU could give them a game and make this tough - but if HU plays to their ability this can be an impactful victory and tourney champ. That’s good info Z, that was a nice ...

Re: MBB Game 05 Wright State, Nov 21 (Tue), 7:30 PM

Now we're talking - a really poor start, they still need to fix some things, chucking 3's and allowing 60+% shooting is no bueno, BUT made the needed adjustments and put up a very nice 2nd half turnaround to grab a W against a decent mid team. Seeing some signs of life - far from finished, but a lot...

Re: Men's Soccer 2023

Thought about that too Evan and Stu... saw the same from the roster, this is a very experienced group and built to win. Next year will be interesting to see how they approach, much depending on the eligibility of the Sr's and their potential COVID years - really confusing, pretty hard to keep track ...

That's more like it, much better from this team - nice W to get the positive going - UB is really bad right now, but HU can't control that, they dominated a team they should. That's the effort and performance expected, especially from Dubar. Like that this team got some solid burn for the full bench...

Re: NIL WEBSITE

Except this really has nothing to do with NIL. This has to do with the corrupt NCAA. That org needs to have a coup in it's leadership, or it needs to be blown up and abandoned (which may very well happen in football). They are a really really bad organization with zero interest in the student-athlet...

Re: Hofstra Wrestling Hosts No. 6 Ohio State This Sunday, Nov. 19, 4 PM

I did warn this might get ugly. This isn't lax where Tierney is out there losing to his former protege every year. Ryan is one of the best coaches in the nation in this sport, no way he was coming back here to lose to his former home. And once I saw they beat VT, who has become a national powerhouse...

They are. And if HU can't find ways to get wins on this trip then they'll deserve some harsh criticism. I'm holding out hope, but this team needs to show us something in FL.
