Cardinal Fans, do you all remember how you celebrated the last time St. Patrick's Day fell on a Saturday?  Happy Anniversary to the Cardinals!

New management gets new money.  It was not lack of effort that prevented CUA getting the right fit for the SID job;  it was the lack of budget.  It took Mike Allen a year to get it, and it is only because other senior members of the Athletic Dept. staff have departed that $$$$ became available to hire an SID w/updated skills. 

It is ALWAYS about funding, not priorities at Catholic.  Remember, the people who work there have to afford living in the Washington D.C. area:  not Salisbury, not York, PA, not even Stafford County.  If CUA had the $$$, Clark and Favret would still be coaching football there! 

As to Bob Talbot -- please, don't even think about cheap shots on this board.  Without Talbot, Lonergan would never have been around long enough to bring home the National Championship.  Bob Talbot was the McGyver of D3 sports . . . .using a ball of string, 3 rubber bands and a mirror to create an athletic department that makes CUA competitive in lots of sports.  He also got the $$$ that paid for the new multi-purpose field that is new this year. 

I am pretty sure that one of Bob Talbot's biggest fans is Mike Allen.  Without that field, all of CUA's fall teams would have been recruiting good "mudders".
