I agree with Go Green - no opponent should be taken lightly. Stonehill is in the midst of a D2 to FCS transition, and is likely to improve far more than a typical struggling program as they continue to ramp up. Last year's Stonehill will quite possibly bear little resemblance to last year's version.

Having said that...

Born Power Index rated Stonehill 35 points below Yale last year. Some teams that ranked higher than Stonehill:
Slippery Rock (D2, 25 points better)
Springfield College (D3, 18 points better)
New Haven (D2, 14 points better)
RPI (D3, 5 points better)
Western Connecticut (D3, 2 points better)

No one is taking about an opponent lightly, I have no idea what you or GG is talking about. Especially, when Merrimack is brought up against Harvard 2 an half years ago. Yes Yale is lucky to have Stone Hill to round out its schedule. But if you’re going to schedule a school like Stone Hill. Why not schedule University of New Haven. Why try and get a better team.
I for one believe that is a fete that can be done. At least it’s not Valpo.!! Or Marist, Wagner.although Wagner is a good team. Vicky Chun needs to do A BETTER JOB. THAN WHAT SHE IS PRESENTLY IS DOING, NO..
I got spoiled by Tom Beckett’s vision for Yale Football Scheduling. She could at least have negotiated with Colgate in the time that she’s been head of this department.!! To secure a series with a better team. We have another 3 years with Holy Cross . I hope she’s not looking at herself in the mirror ,saying. Mirror, Mirror on the wall , who is the fairest of them all. Because she ain’t.!! Period.

Author: Son of Eli [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 22:07:55 02/22/25 Sat I agree no one is taking an opponent lightly. Go Green is just creating a straw man, probably to draw attention to Dartmouth’s BIG WIN against Merrimack. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
