We definitely playing Fordham again at MSG. Kind of disappointed we are doing that. Since the Holiday Festival is a one game format we should have tried to put a higher level team in there.
Anybody know if a west coast game is on the schedule?
The Fordham game was actually one of our bigger MSG crowds last year.
that game is a waste...does nothing for us and generates zero excitement...SJU vs Iona would be more anticipated...and i am not espousing putting Iona on schedule..just that Fordham is a negative
I hear what you're saying, it's not an exciting matchup at all. But not every game can be against Wisconsin or Syracuse. If we're going to play a low-profile game, I don't see the difference whether it is UNC Ashville, Northeastern, or Fordham. At that point what difference does it really make?
If you're saying you'd rather switch it up and get Marist/Manhattan/Niagra/Siena etc on the schedule instead of Fordham every year, then I guess I can understand that.
But if all else is equal I'd rather play Fordham than an equally talented team from the middle of nowehere that we have no connection with.
