Colgate is undefeated in the PL, and was playing for a league title and automatic bid to the playoffs, against our biggest rival over the last couple of decades. There will never be a bigger home game outside of a playoff game. I wish there was a way I could post a screenshot of the TV image of the Dunlap stands. You would think there was a field hockey game being played at Kerr!
Of course there will always be home games at Kerr. I'm just saying we should be pleased with 3 or 4 and not insist on 5 or 6, if we could have a couple more high quality OOC opponents. Do you really think there would be more people in the stands Saturday for a PL championship if we had played another home game or two against CCSU or Sacred Heart in September? We used to routinely have 3 home games a year and there was tremendous interest in the fb team.

Gate'80 is 100% right and Gate Raider is wrong and doesn't know Colgate's history as primarily as a road team. Just ask Coach Dunlap. 3-4 home games is Ok. Play closer to the metro centers where alumni live. In today's world students hang in the dorms or fraternities so let's get on the bus and play where the alumni live.

Totally agree with gate'80 & Maven; Gate Raider is dead wrong! -- Andy Kerr, 11/16/15 9:16:12am Mon
In fact, moving to a schedule of 7-8 road games could give Gate a scheduling niche in recruits eyes. When you don't have to schedule "home and home." you can access better quality opponents. Playing in the Northeastern metro areas adds exposure, i.e. schedule a Penn, w.o. having to get a home game. Alums like Gate Raider willing to schlepp to Hammytown every weekend are a veerey small minority of the potential alumni crowd that will attend games in the metro areas. I'm calling Vicki today!
