Congrats! Hofstra Class of 2037!

Only two opponents (Cornell and Drexel) ranked in preseason top 20 with six others receiving votes (Ohio State, Princeton, UMass, Towson, St, John's and Fairfield). Hopefully our opponents have solid seasons so RPI can be high and give us a shot at at-large.

Coastal Carolina is very good athletically but I have heard big concern with them is their academics. I'd much rather have Furman or Wofford if they were to add another southern team. As far as Hofstra changing conferences, I don't see it unless A-10 somehow expresses interest. MAAC probably won't h...

Good point Dutchalum. I am certainly no fan of Rabinowitz but do give him credit for fighting a casino in Hofstra's neighborhood.

I was relieved that the chosen Nassau OTB mini casino with up to 1,000 video slots will not be in the immediate vicinity of Hofstra. It will be at the old Fortunoff building at the Source Mall, which isn't far from campus but is still four miles away and not within walking distance. A casino within ...

In the past W&M has had the opportunity to apply to the Patriot league but never made the move. I believe they are loyal to the CAA for now. I agree Stu. Am not sure of JMU leaving would change that but Elon and College of Charleston along with an addition like Furman or Wofford to replace JMU ...

I think from a Hofstra perspective it is beneficial to have a school like William & Mary in there since it helps overall academic profile of the conference. While they still have not won a CAA men's basketball title, they came ultra close last year and have excelled in many other sports like soc...

I'd certainly have concerns too given that they play in an NFL stadium 90 miles from campus. My point was that from a UMass perspective, if you can't get into Conference USA when there is an opening then why bother being FBS?

You are probably right about UMass Hofstrahockey but it seems of they want to be FBS Conference USA is logical landing spot. If not then why bother?

I disagree completely on wanting William & Mary to leave since they are a rock solid academic school wityh a recognizable name that helps the reputation of the conference a ton. No comparison between William & Mary and Liberty, who would not be a fit at all academically or brand-wise. If the...

The band I know is now student run, so I think they're adding in some more of their own music choices as well as really getting friends involved, which obviously increases the size. I would think student-run would mean less resources for the band but if it leads to more members then it is a major p...

I was also at game and very impressed by what I saw on the floor. I also wanted to give props to the pep band, which seemed much bigger and improved from past years and hope their numbers stay strong going forward since a solid pep band really adds to the overall atmosphere in the arena not to menti...

I completely agree Polito that expectations should always be high for our men's lacrosse program. It is the one sport we have that should constantly be ranked toward the top.

I share your frustration Polito as I'm sure all Hofstra fans do in the the program's lack of success in recent years. Despite how last year ended I was encouraged by some steps they took in he regular season and I hope that carries over into 2015.

It is a big tradition to hold it at Hofstra though so I'm thinking it is a facilities issue. If anybody has any insight please post.

Does anybody have any insight on why the Newsday Marching Band Festival is being held at Mitchell Field this year and not Hofstra like it always has been? I hope it is just a one-year situation and they will be back since it is great for the university to get a huge crowd like this for three days. I...

Remember Hofstrahockey that the only reason she got kicked out was not showing up to the hearing since it was the end of the semester. Had she fought it result may have been different. Either way this should not distract from her other amazing accomplishments and if anybody is equipped to change the...

I saw that Stu and she addressed issue in a blog and on Good Morning America. Hopefully this issue will blow over and she can get positive coverage while performing her Miss America duties during the next year. It certainly does shine a light though on how ugly Greek pledging process can get at Hofs...

Great news! Also is impressive how bright she seems being a Hofstra Honors College graduate who is planning to attend Fordham Law School.

The WRHU sports team did a solid job as always with the previews. Also a great interview with Hathaway who said he has already submitted bid to host future lacrosse quarterfinals.
