That solidifies it for me.  I’m coming in Feb 12th and then train up for the Sunday night game at Monmouth.  
Wanted to do the Jan 29th game with UNCW but with the winter 🥶 still in strong effect flying may be a disaster.  Farmers Almanac says V-Day weekend is clear!

You wouldn’t need to adjust your clock for the uncw one as it’s 6pm PST! 😂

I don't know if I totally buy it, but CAA is up to No. 12 in conference RPI rankings. Pretty solid showing so far.

You should still come out! Got my brother and his fiancée to come up from DC for the game. He was a 2000 graduate so I’m sure he will be excited to see a competitive team since his time in the 90’s. Need everyone there, who’s going to give May the business?!

I mean the rest of those conferences are meh.  We are tied for 11th actually and should have the tiebreaker!  Towson vets liberty. Therefore tie goes to the Association!

UNCW wins at the team formerly known as the Fighting Tyler Schmidts

Hofstra pulls a stunner at the Carrier Dome.

These are the type of non-con road wins that have been lacking on our resume for years.

I agree but also we did beat Liberty and URI b2b. I would argue those are almost as impressive as beating Syracuse and definitely more impressive than Valparaiso on the road.

Don’t get me wrong, the B2B wins were very nice and the guys deserve credit for that….but beating a legitimate, historic  “blue blood” like Cuse on their home court, regardless of them having a down year, is waaaaay better than any non-conference win we’ve had in the Skerry era.

Yeah I mean back to back wins at Pitt and Syracuse are as impressive as you can get. Maybe the best two wins for a team since …?Next up a really good Quinnipiac team. Cruz Davis is very good and likely will be the player of the year. 

UNCW looking good too. If they get L&L back soon they may only lose a game or so the rest of the way. 
CAA much better than in years past and that’s with the predicted 1 and 3 teams not playing well.  Even stony Brook is 6-3!
4-1 day.

And as one other fan pointed out to me, Hofstra has had a better non-con week this week than Skerry has had his entire career.  I had forgotten that the Dutch had also beaten Pitt.

Hofstra looking like the favorites rn. Would say Hofstra us and the Seahawks
