Message: [QUOTE="HC1987, post: 2311458, member: 8264"] Hey guys, a HC alumnus and frequent postah at Crossports here. Just wanted to give you guys some perspective on HC football and its current following. HC is back to giving football scholarships (this is its 5th year in doing so) and a lot of upgrades are in the offing for the program (new indoor practice facility, upgrades in the schedules against FBS programs such as yourselves, BC, Navy, Syracuse etc etc It has been a long time coming (imo and many other HC followers) as HC football pretty much wallowed in near anonymity after it dropped football scholarships completely in 1991. We are still in the "growing process" as we transition back into the scholarship world. We've had some great individual talent but depth continues to be a problem. One hurdle that is near impossible for a school like HC to jump is red-shirting (which we only allow due to medical reasons like this year's QB Peter Pujals for instance). This kind of puts us up against it when we play schools such as yourselves, strong CAA programs etc. As for our message board/following, we have a pretty active board for the size of our school/level of football. Much of this is due to the fact that a lot of our postahs went to HC or followed HC when the fortunes of HC were bettah or we played at a higher level than we now currently do. Anyway, just wanted to touch base with you guys here. Happy to answer any questions about HC football you might have (save for our strategy Thursday night :) ). I was at the last HC-UConn tilt in 1985....a dreary (for us) 22-2 loss in the rain at Storrs....hope to get to the Rent this Thursday. [/QUOTE]
