..is Fordham - they would like everyone to know.

They do have a good coach (who might be cheap for now) who won a lot fast (including beating Temple).

"Fordham Prepares for “Battle of the States”


..This meeting will mark nine years since the teams last faced off, when the Rams lost 23-9. Many things have changed since then, beginning with a new impetus led by fourth year Head Coach Joe Moorhead. He has spearheaded the football program at Fordham, as evident with his 31-11 overall record. This makes Fordham the winningest football team in the New York City area since 2012, beating out Stony Brook, Sacred Heart, and yes, even Tom Coughlin’s New York Giants...

Imagine Flood taking over a musty old Jesuit basketball school in the Bronx with a long forgotten football program and practically overnight going undefeated, winning titles and beating FBS teams.

I like coaches who can make something out of nothing and thats what Joe Moorehead has done. Not sure how he lasts at Fordham except that he played there and has ties

I've seen 5 year benchmark, definitely 10 year... But 2 year? Lol and of course they include 2013 or else Rutgers would be on top. What a joke - but I like it from fordhams perspective.

He is doing very well. But he but he didn't start with nothing. The rebirth of Fordham Football happened before he got there.

The Rams made the NCAA D1AA playoffs in 2007 and 2003.

Hopefully he gets them over the hump and deeper into the 1AA playoffs.

The rebirth of Rutgers football started before Flood took over and died shortly thereafter.

Sad where the Giants and Jets are since they play more games.

As a NYer I often see posts like this that remind me there is a Fordham...its very expensive,,,has a little history(very little), is decent but not outstanding academically, plays a low level of sports and is an afterthought to this NYer. If I was forced to attend a NYC Univ it would likely be NYU or Columbia......prob Columbia for the Ivy sports connection(I was a Cornell undergrad)

Congrats to Fordham! They on our schedule next year?

Yes, but the Fordham kids actually know geography, unlike the Orange marketers.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Moorehead is my realistic candidate.

 

[NotInRHouse_anon]

This is sad showing of what has happened this program,,,,

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Why shouldn't Fordham try the next level? If BC can do it, why not Fordham?

 

[KJ_RU]

Rutgers should try the next level, just saying.

There is very little will or enthusiasm when it comes to sports at Fordham. Look at the bball team- based on location they should be one of the best midmajors in America and are in the best midmajor conference.

BC's football distinguishes it from the other Boston colleges. Fordham is really all about trying to get the people who want to be in NYC, but can't get into NYU or Columbia, which is a pretty big pool of qualified students.
