OT: Monmouth

[Dane Pound]

Two lousy football games on Thanksgiving but that Monmouth - Notre Dame made up for it. Monmouth knocked off #17 ND in the final minute. Great game.

 

Colin Stewart from Glenville plays for Monmouth. He had 9 points tonight and 19 in Monmouth's win over UCLA earlier this year.

Look at their schedule. There was a post in the USF thread about not so great name recognition teams on our schedules.

 

Monmouth has played..

UCLA, USC, Drexel, and ND so far. That's two PAC12, and A10 and an ACC team. They still have Dayton (A10), and most likely another power conference team in the Orlando tourney.

 

Come December they have Rutgers (B1G) and Georgetown (ACC).

 

 

That as a fan is what I want to see. Can careless about the home games. The fact that the MAAC has an auto bid into the Orlando tournament every year shows they are a step above the America East Conference.

DP. Glad I missed that game in my travels. Too bad both teams couldn't lose as the only time to root for a lowly maac team is when they are playing LCC and there really isn't a good time to root for Notre Dame.

 

Then when a maac team wins a game like this, we have to listen how strong that league is even from 1 of our own fans. The same lowly maac that lost in the play in round of the most recent NCAA basketball tournament !

Haha no gripe gripe here with the teams in that conference besides the ones in green. The MAAC has always has strong ties with the ESPN, something the America East doesn't have. Quinnipiac will be in the Orlando classic next year.

Out of the teams in the current maac, Q is the one to root for as Eric Eaton is there. I hope that some day he moves up to a better league

Yup I remember him. I too hope we move up to a better league

Tack on another power conference win for them in defeating USC. Those are some serious wins there.

[UA'08]

Tack on another. Georgetown. That is how you schedule an OOC schedule.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Does the fact that they are a private school and may have more funds for travel affect the OOC schedule?

[UA'08]

Those are guarantee games. They are getting paid over 10k easy to go play that game. That will cover whatever costs it takes to get to Georgetown and more. This why I don't get why we are only having one big name program a year, unlike the past.

I just love their bench.

Yet if we did that , people would be complaining how a long road trip killed our team

Yeah... No Bob. If we were winning games like this stay on the road forever.

No Click. because it is another team we only are hearing about the games they win. If it was our team we would be hearing about every lose especially if we started the conference season off with a loss like they did
