Jim Sweeney passed away this weekend.  Former coach.

Sad news about Sweeney. He put in quite a few years at UA. 

Watched some of. Monmouth vs Lehigh. This going to be a tough game. I think we can score against them, but probably can’t stop them. Hopefully I am wrong. They have a massive O Line, 3 seniors, one fifth year senior and one grad. Their offense is well balanced.  Don’t be fooled by the CCSU game. They are BAD. Did you know that the Monmouth HC comes from the Bob Ford coaching tree? Grad assistant in the late 70s.  Only HC at MU.

Sitting outside on a fall day watching football used to be such a fun afternoon.

These Monmouth announcers are pretty good. As I said earlier in this thread, they’ll be able to score, but I didn’t think they would be able to stop them. Two goal line opportunities only produced 3 pts? That’s a killer so far. Where was Carino? Everyone from here to Timbuktu knew Sibley was getting the ball.

Lol.... chalk up another loss.
