Football Preview from the University site

[Dane Pound]

Football practice begins next Monday afternoon. Good season preview on the university site. Interesting that they've moved Ungerzagt to tight end. Hopefully that means the incoming group of backs are that good.

They get it under way on Monday the 9th. Can't wait till Sept 2 at Hofstra...I will be there! This is going to be a VERY interesting season. I also believe they can win the NEC. But it will very exciting to hopefully see them improve against bigger programs.

The Hofstra site says that game will be televised on something called FSNY. I'm wondering is that the Fox channel the Mets games are on(or used to be on)?

There's not much optimism on the Hofstra board this season. They won two games last year and aren't looking like they're going to set the world on fire this year. I'm pretty sure the last time we played them they had been in the national championship game the year before.

Yes, that would be Fox Sports NY.

 

From different posts on the Hofstra board, I've heard they've got no quarterback, not much at RB, the O-line can't protect the passer, and the D-line is small and could be vulnerable to smashmouth.

 

I hate to get my hopes up, but we've got to win some of these challenge games sometime.

 

My daughter wants to look at Adelphi U; by coincidence we arranged for the tour on Sept. 2.

 

Looked like a Punt, Pass & Kick contest at University Field at lunchtime today.

Hofstra will be good...end of story. The fans on the board are paronoid. Will they be top of the A-Ten....NO. Mid- pack...probably.

 

When we played them last they made the Round of 8 (quarters).

 

Adelphi---small, but very good school. Very "preppiesque"!

[Ruler]

Yeah, I agree with Dane 96...Hofstra will be better then anyone we face in the NEC. How good they are is anyones guess. They will have superior athletes in most of their positions.

 

We do need to win one of the OOC games this year. Forget Lehigh they will win by 30. Not sure about Fordham or Brown.

Obviously, but last year Hofstra was actually rated a little behind Brown.

 

Fordham is supposed to be very quick, which could be trouble unless all our redshirt DBs are a big improvement over the past. Don't mow the field until Sept. 12!
