It wasn't too long ago that Hofstra enjoyed one of the coolest nicknames in college sports: the Flying Dutchmen. Five years ago their powers that be decided the name no longer worked with the university's image.

That's why it will be the Pride who saunter into The Burrow tonight.

It appears Hofstra, like many universities in recent times, chose to go a little overboard in the political correctness department. The Flying Dutchman, in sailing lore, is a ghost ship that can appear on the horizon, bringing doom to all sailing vessels that come near.

Hofstra changed the name not because it offended the Dutch - everyone knows folks from Holland are comfortable with their inability to fly - but because the ship from which the legend derives might, could, may have been, someone once said, was a slave ship.

There doesn't appear to be much of a historical record of this, in part, because the story is a legend - which means, like most legends, it was probably made up.

Regardless of what may or may not be true, Hofstra decided to play it safe. So tonight, I give you the Pride. Insert joke here.

Other tidbits for tonight: Ray Taylor left Sunday's game at Maryland with a shoulder injury, but did return a few minutes later. Mike Jarvis doesn't expect Taylor to have any problems suiting up against Hofstra.

"You probably are going to have to shoot him to keep him out of a game and I’m not going to shoot him," Jarvis said.

The 5-foot-5 Taylor has made the transition from high school to college look easy. FAU's big men are finding the conversion a little more challenging. Six-foot-9 freshman DeMonte Simpson is averaging less than six points per game, while sophomore transfer Justin Davis is providing less than a point.

"It takes big guys a little longer to get good than it does little guys," Jarvis said. "You have to be patient until they figure it out."
