I totally forgot about the mens game until 730 tonight and checked the score. Tough one from what it looks like. My CNU faithful, I look forward to reading what your thoughts were on the game. Congrats to the women for advancing to t the Elite 8.

Anytime. Of course it is easy to figure out when CNU is 3-10 on opening day. The only other possible year was the win against waynesburg to start the season. I had to look that up. The other opening day win was in 2007 against Rowan. I was in the radio booth that day calling the game. Then the following week I flew down to UMHB and I remembered that outcome.

I remember that game with you calling with Franky T. I didn't see the 3-10 stat in your post until after I posted initially and inserted mouth in foot. LOL. I think I may have to hit up my contact for tickets to next weekend's game. I know the place should be a zoo with it being family weekend and all. What was the crown like tonight?

Scratch that CNU85, I just read your post on the ODAC board and just saw the box. Officially listed at 6675, that's a helluva lot of people to pack POMOCO!! That's awesome to hear!

Wow I just looked at the box. Talk to me about the CNU secondary with 5 picks. I'm still staggering at the 72 passing attempts by the HSC QB.

First time ever 2-0

Without referring to the trusty CNU media guide, I thought my hunch was correct. A thousand thank you's Mr. Finance man 

Congrats to the Captains on another great win. I'm not sure if they've ever started off 2-0 on any season since the program began. CNU85 might be able to shed some light on that subject. 17-7 win over HSC with Shenandoah next weekend and a chance to start 3-0 heading into conference play. I like the way this season is beginning.

Congrats to the Captains!! Huge season opening win on the road at Salisbury and in the come from behind fashion too. 17-10 is your final. Marcus Morrast was 15-of-25 for 146 and two TD passes, including the game winner, an 18-yard pass to Paul Dukes with 15 seconds left in the fourth. Great way to start the season. Huge game next week in the home opener against Hampden-Sydney.

Great win by the Ladies in Silver and Royal Blue tonight. Downing undefeated Montclair St. was no easy task. But boy the 50-point second half against the nation's stingiest defense was awesome to see. Looks like a date with host and top-ranked DePauw looms on the horizon.

CNU85,
   I saw you hob-knobbing with the higher ups at last week's final home (men's anyway) games! Movin on up (or in this case, down the chairbacks)!! Your sentiments were spot on my friend. I expect nothing less from you.

CJ's memorial service last night was a great tribute to his life as a coach but more importantly as a person. There was a great list of speakers who hit the proverbial nail on the head when it came to talking about the kind of person he was and how much he meant to the region and the campus. There's no doubt in my mind that each team will be "playing for CJ", if they haven't been already. Fitting note, the women's team played NC Wesleyan the day he died and won by 64 points, which is exactly how old CJ was. Looking forward to the men's game Wednesday against the Bishops on Senior Night.

not to move this away from mourning cj woolum, but i saw this on the usasac site...http://usasouth.net/sports/mbkb/2012-13/releases/20130206ttou84

can't say i'm shocked to see the piedmont coach step down given what happened this season, but it's sad to see from a conference standpoint  - coaching stability is typically a significant step toward athletic success, and the pc coach didn't even last the entire season

narch, wouldn't you agree..bring back Lee Glenn!!

Sorry for your loss. Had Coach Woollum been sick ? Never had the pleasure of meeting him but never heard nothing but great things about him as a person; his professional accomplishments speak for themselves. May he rest in peace.

tigerfan,
   Sadly he was stricken with cancer over the summer and underwent surgery at that time. He had made some progress and I even got the opportunity to see him and speak with him at several games as recently as about a month ago before he took a turn for the worse. CNU will not be the same without him but I know his legacy will live on.

Sad day for CNU Division III Athletics today as CJ Woollum passed away. He was a remarkable man that made enormous strides in the transition of the university as far as athletics are concerned. His vision was to make the department into a successful program with top notch facilities and he certainly got to see his dream become a reality. He was a great man and touched a lot of lives, including this one. It's hard to put into words what he meant to Christopher Newport. I know there are several posters on here (Pat, CNU85, and others) that knew him well and I'm sure they would echo my sentiments as well as their own insights. May he rest in peace but his dream will live on.

goose...i corrected your post above...my condolences to the cnu family and the woolum family

narch, you can correct me anytime You hit the nail precisely.

Went to the CNU/Wesley game tonight. The Captains missed Tre Benefield as they struggled big time at the offensive end. I didnt think either team would come close to 60 points if it wasnt for the fact they played four overtimes. Great game to watch as a fan with all the free basketball we got to see. I didnt get to catch the first game but I heard John Carroll is extremely good as they have been in the past. Hopefully Tre will be back for tomorrow's championship game. CNU couldnt get it going on offense and seem all out of sorts without their leader. I saw the VA Wesleyan coaches sitting in the stands taking in the game. Hoping they didnt realize someone was missing, doubting it but I can dream!
