Herbie and History

A few links prior to our gameday coverage:

• William Paxton is reporting that Fairfield guard Herbie Allen is out for tonight's game against Rider at Alumni Hall. We have yet to confirm this, however. Sean Grzeck will also miss his second consecutive game. Greg Nero is listed as questionable but is expected to play.
• Can't get enough Ben Doody? Check out this link of a phenomenal piece he wrote on the historic implications of Barack Obama's inauguration, as seen through the eyes of head coach Ed Cooley. 
• Shameless plug: If you liked Ben's responses yesterday, be sure to read my counterpoint to our Q&A on his always Trentonian College Basketball blog. 

More to come.
