I like HUSID80's idea to say "Qualifier" on it. Unless the NCAA imposed sanctions against your team, you are eligible even if you didn't win a game.

I do not know if anybody cares after the game, but http://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2023/11/ill-be-quirky-hofstra-vs-wright-state.html is Jerry Beach's "I'll Be Quirky: Hofstra vs. Wright State." He says that David Wright is in the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. Thanks for sharing that s...

If this environment was around when Speedy was playing, would he have spent all 4 years at Hofstra?
And if not, would Jay Wright have gotten the Villanova job if he didn't win back-to-back CAA titles because Speedy had transferred?

What is the relationship (if any) between this NIL collective and the Pride Club? Does it make the Pride Club obsolete?

Cindy was a wonderful person who was a true champion for women's athletics at Hofstra. She will be missed.

Go Hofstra has the opponent wrong. We played UNLV, not Nevada. BigE and I went to the game, then hung around to spend New Year's in Vegas. That was their first year post-Tark and they were still a top 25 team. Star of that team was Isaiah (JR) Rider. Our best player was Demetrius Dudley. This was du...

UNLV was the real deal back in the day when Tarkanian was the coach there have they been a good team since then?? Have we ever played UNLV?? I don't recall this. We played them once when Rollie was their HC and Jay was an assistant. It was late December of either '91 or '92. (we didn't fare too wel...

All this is true, but we should be rooting for other CAA teams when they play strong OOC opponents, as those kinds of wins help the conference RPI as a whole.

slightly off topic, but bringing it back around to the topic, the conference issued a press release today announcing that both the Men's and Women's basketball tournaments will be in Washington DC the next 4 years.

Conference announced name change to the Coastal Athletic Association. No change to the logo, etc.

We were ranked #2 in the country before John Danowski left.

It looks like Burke transferred to D-2 LIU-Southampton after his Sophomore year (where he apparently flourished his senior year), and actually played some pro hoops in Germany. https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/tall-tales-of-a-hoop-dreamer-1.77819 He was recently the Girls BB Coach at Truman HS in th...

So this twitter post BY Gorchov says we had a 7' player named John Burke 92-93. I'm sure this is correct don't remember him but then says Lars Grubler was the next biggest player at 6'11. I thought Greg Washington was 6'11? I'm wrong he was listed as 6'10. Anyone remember this kid Burke? https://tw...

Congratulations to the Softball team on an impressive Championship!

Hey Joe welcome back where have you been Hey Stu! Yeah, I guess I vanished shortly after we dropped football. Then you guys moved to this new platform and didn't leave a forwarding address 8-) We moved down to South Jersey last year, and met up with JB from Drexel at a game in November. He showed m...

In looking at the CAA Championships page, it looks like every school except NC A&T and SBU is hosting at least part of a Championship this year. I'm sure they try to do some sort of balancing out so a couple of schools are not hosting everything.

One of the several legends of how the Flying Dutchmen got their name was that a Dutch student tripped during a basketball game and went flying, prompting someone to exclaim "Look at that Flying Dutchman". I think it may have been during a PE class rather than an intercollegiate game, howev...
