Weather Issues

[kiefaber455]

Not sure when UD is due to fly to NYC for the Fordham game on Sunday, but getting there might be rather dicey considering the storm that is supposed to hit the east coast.

I'd take bets that even if the game goes on and the weather is horrible, UD will still have more fans there than Fordham does.

	Fordham FORDHAM Fordham University is an independent Jesuit university established in 1841 as St. John's College on old Rose Hill Manor in the village of Fordham, then part of Westchester County in the Bronx, NY. The name Fordham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "ford" and "ham," meaning a wading place or ford by a settlement. Rose Hill is the name given to the site in 1787 by Robert Watts, a wealthy New York merchant, in honor of his family's ancestral home of the same name in Scotland. The College was originally staffed by diocesan clergy. The name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907. Fordham's 10 schools enroll 14,448 students. There are 7,652 undergraduates, of whom 3,842 live in University-managed housing either on-campus or in the local community. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams. Athletic claim to fame is consistent mediocrity in nearly all sports and few A10 title winning programs.

Larry H indicated on WHIO this morning that the weather is "impacting the Flyer's travel plans"....seemed to imply that they may be leaving as early as today.

I could see it making sense to leave tonight as opposed to tomorrow morning.

[ClaytonFlyerFan]

Blizzard Watch for NYC Saturday and Sunday. Foot of snow and 50 mph winds possible. Praying for a safe trip for all who are going.

Gettiing there is only half the issue, once there getting out will be major issue for men and women teams as the ladies will be a short few miles from NYC and in the path of the storm as well, hopefully not as bad as NYC.

[Ready Action]

Not sure if the team is staying in The Bronx or somewhere else in the city, however if the Metro North trains aren't shutdown due to the Nor'easter (which has happended during other major storms) they can arrive at the gym via train as there is a stop right next to the university.

[CE80]

Getting out may be the bigger problem.

Stranded in NYC? Well, I know what London Warren would do...

	London Warren LONDON WARREN 6-0 185lb Junior Raines, HS | Jacksonville FL Nicknamed the "Jacksonville Jet", London Warren is perhaps UD's quickest player baseline to baseline. Leader in steals defensively, he likes to push tempo on offense. Working on his shot and confidence at the charity stripe. 2007-08 | 4.3ppg 2.9rpg 2006-07 | 2.4ppg 1.7rpg

[LIBob]

Weather should not be as much of a problem as you think as the snow will not begin until Saturday and will end Sunday morning. Can leave tomorrow and will be fine getting in.

[ud2]

I heard that DC might get 21 inches of snow.

[UD B8BEE]

I would be surprised if they left so early to miss 2 days of classes prior to weekend

[UD B8BEE]

Plus to added expense of putting the team up for multiple days

[AC91]

They should be fine as long as they land in NY by Friday evening. snow is suppose to start later Friday night and go untul Sunday morning and it will be windy. Subway gets them less than a half mile from the Gym.

URI at GW tomorrow night . . . will not change - snow supposed to start here in DC anytime between 1 and 5 Friday afternoon . . . of course less than one inch paralyzed the city last night.

	Rhode Island RHODE ISLAND The University of Rhode Island was chartered as the state's agricultural school in 1888. The school became the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1892.

Dayton MBB twitter says Flyers flying out tomorrow (Friday) evening.

[ud2]

Are they going to get stuck in NY after the game? Snow is supposed to start there at 4am? Saturday and fall until 2am? Sunday.

[Buckleyma]

I've always been fascinated with the logistics of moving sports teams to their away games. May I request that UDPRIDE do an interview of whomever makes those arrangements for the FLYERS? Interview questions might include: chronology of when the team travels, how do they travel (bus or plane), unusual player events like who forgot what, where and how often do players eat, stories involving how other teams accommodate the flyers on the road, which venues are the best to travel to, which venues are the worst, who travels with the team (parents, siblings, media, celebrities?), and of course the questions can be reversed to ask how staff accommodates team's visiting Dayton for a game.


Of course, I fully understand that current travel plans for this year cannot be revealed as you would not want to give opposing university students any opportinity for pranks. But, I am sure that there are still stories of pranks from the past that could be shared.

How many people were at the Fordham game (I'm guessing around 1998 give or take) during the level 3 ice emergency? I think there were about 4,000 fans, give or take, basically turned the arena into "pick an empty seat" night as there were too few to think that anyone was going to fight over a prime seat. Definently a weird vibe to a game played with so few fans in a place that big, I can only guess it felt like when Seton Hall, Georgetown, St Johns, etc... play in their large NBA arenas during family and friends night.

Attended the Flyers/Akron game a few years back where Dayton got a ton of snow and maybe 4-5000 showed up, only time I watched a game from the 100's.

[Lifelong Flyer Fan]

3-8-08 St Joseph's was Senior Night for Brian Roberts, Jimmie Binnie, and Andres Sandoval. That was a Level 3 and a pick your seat night. It always stuck in my mind because those players didn't get the celebration they should have. Had my camera and got some very good pictures.

	St Joseph's ST. JOSEPH'S Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1851, Saint Joseph's University advances the professional and personal ambitions of men and women by providing a demanding, yet supportive educational experience. One of only 139 schools nationwide with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and AACSB business school accreditation, Saint Joseph's is home to 4,200 full-time undergraduates and 3,100 graduate, part-time and doctoral candidates. Located in urban Philadelphia, SJU is a fellow member of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Hawks. Athletic claim to fame is is the Hawk mascot, a university student on full scholarship who wears a Hawk uniform and flaps his wings continuously for an entire athletic event. School spirit slogan is "The Hawk Will Never Die."

Donald Trump is a Fordham alum, I wonder if he will be at the game? Lol.

Actually it is the Duq-GMU game that will be moved to the new location. GW still playing at Smith Center.

From A10 press release...

"The Duquesne-George Mason men’s game will now be played Friday at 2:00 pm ET. The location of this game has also changed to the RAC (Recreation and Athletic Complex), the Patriots’ auxiliary on-campus facility.

Rhode Island-George Washington men’s game will now tip at 3:00 pm ET Friday in at the Charles E. Smith Center as announced Friday morning by GW."

The RAC looks like it is basically the RexPlex with a 1500 seat gym. Should be an interesting atmosphere.

Side note to these schedule changes is that it looks like we will now have at least one A10 game played for each of the next 10 days.

Video link to the GMU-Duq game being played in 1500 seat "arena". It is worth it just to look at the floor. Not only does it look like a mid-sized HS gym but the gym is usually used for volleyball so it is a two-colored court where volleyball court ends. Plus it has volleyball lines plus has 3 point lines for side courts plus some other lines that I am not even sure what they are for.

Your seat license money doesn't go to any other schools or their facilities. Also UD is not playing in this game. What is embarrassing about putting the players' safety and well-being in front of your desire to see them play in a bigger arena? Very strange complaint.

What does a UD seat license have to do with a game between the Dukes and GM played in a small gym?

Larry was interviewed live by phone on WHIO noon news.

Snow removal crews are well equipped and very efficient in most parts of the North. Down South, where I live, 2 inches of snow means school closure, extended weather coverage and hoarding.

I work in the Bronx and the snow is way worse than predicted. 16 inches or so right now...expected to be 22+ by the end of it. my concern isnt the teams getting there, its if they can clean it up in time for people to come. Mr. Blas loves shutting down public transportation or having it limited in emergencies.

Does not look good. Mayor just shut down the city. Of course it is a Jesuit school so they can do what they want.

I'm in White Plains right now 4:00PM, and it is still snowing. I have about 12 inches now. DPW crews here are very well trained and equipped, so the game should be fine. But Metro-North will be up and running in the am so I am taking the train to Fordham.

That sucks. I feel for them. I just saw that our boy, Brian Gregory lost another close game at the end of it. Down two after just losing Marcus Georges-Hunt to fouls, the old weave offense got a guard tangled up in the lower circle , which led to a turnover.

Their last two offensive possessions were a total mess. No one knew what they were running and no one moved and no one wanted to lead.

	Fordham FORDHAM Fordham University is an independent Jesuit university established in 1841 as St. John's College on old Rose Hill Manor in the village of Fordham, then part of Westchester County in the Bronx, NY. The name Fordham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "ford" and "ham," meaning a wading place or ford by a settlement. Rose Hill is the name given to the site in 1787 by Robert Watts, a wealthy New York merchant, in honor of his family's ancestral home of the same name in Scotland. The College was originally staffed by diocesan clergy. The name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907. Fordham's 10 schools enroll 14,448 students. There are 7,652 undergraduates, of whom 3,842 live in University-managed housing either on-campus or in the local community. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams. Athletic claim to fame is consistent mediocrity in nearly all sports and few A10 title winning programs.
