Re: 2024 Baseball

Is it time to shut August down and let him focus on his control? Kid reminds me of Ebby LaLoosh from Bull Durham. Throws hard but has no clue where it is going. Disappointing loss yesterday and hard to gain confidence going into a huge weekend +1 You can't pitch August against UNCW or in the CAA To...

Re: 2024 Baseball

Not that it mattered, but why did the Delaware State game end after 7 innings today? The Hornets were ahead by 10 runs, but that didn’t seem to matter in other games this year. For example, Delaware played GW earlier this year and was ahead by 11 runs after 7 complete innings, and the game continue...

Re: CUSA - October Schedule

I know this move had to happen. Also aware that you need an offer from a FBS conference to move up. There was a lot of talk about potential suitors including the MAC but only CUSA came through. Both of those leagues have weekday football. Not sure about the rest of the G5 teams, but this is the way...

Re: CUSA - October Schedule

... I'd prefer it to a Saturday afternoon game with Hampton or Bryant every single time. I agree 100%. Same. Like I've said many times before, I'm all for playing teams with a state in their name. Not schools I have to Google their location, mascot, etc. I know they're not traditional rivals, but D...

Re: Conversation Starter

Sam Dolente (among others who back in the day (1970's) played both FB & Lacrosse)
Kevin Blackhurst (a good Basketball player & a good Baseball player - if not the most recent (1989-1993) notable 2 sports athlete at UD he was among the latest)

Re: 2024 Baseball

Next season is huge for Mamula because (based on class year shown on roster) the team loses 11 seniors including offensive & defensive mainstays Aiden Kane (1B/OF), Tyler Leach (C), Bryce Greenly (OF/P), Jake Dunion (OF), Eric Ludman (1B/DH), Joey Loynd (3B), and Josearmabndo Diaz (C/1B) as well...

Re: CUSA - October Schedule

To quote the great Thomas Sowell, "there are no solutions, only tradeoffs." In order to join FBS, this is the trade-off. There was no perfect solution available. I don't like the mid-week games....at all...but it really is a small slate of games that directly impact Delaware and, on avera...

Still wearing shorts to alot of games during the month HENJOHN, Unless you are one of those strange folks who wear shorts in almost any weather, I doubt that you were wearing shorts to NIGHT games at UD in Oct, except maybe early Oct when the weather ...

Re: New Women's Basketball Associate Head Coach

Further, UMES has one of the worst college athletic programs on the country. Unless & until that changes, I wouldn't hire anyone from UMES. It is very unlikely that Batchelor will be a boost to the UD Women"s Basketball program in any aspect.

No but temps in the 40's to low 50's at night aren't warm either, especially when compared to the temps on Oct or even Nov afternoons when the sun makes it feel warmer than the actual temps.

Re: CUSA - October Schedule

Yep, all the mid-week games are spread between ESPN 2, ESPNU, CBSSportsnet, ESPN+, etc. I want to say WKU got a game on ESPN but I’d have to double check. They are spread Tues, Wed, Thurs and maybe one on Friday. Depends on what the networks say. As indicated by someone, evening games in the south ...

Re: CUSA - October Schedule

It took some getting used to for me last year. The big disruption is homecoming. We had ours the first week of Nov. Next fall it will be in Sept. LU had a “Midweek on the Mountain” media blitz with town leaders encouraging locals to attend. I don’t remember the specific numbers but turnout was rela...

New Women's Basketball Associate Head Coach

Announced on bluehens.com that fired and losing UMES HC Fred Batchelor has been hired as Women's Basketball Associate Head Coach. As is almost always the case when UD announces a new hiring, UD ridiculously did not announce who Batchelor is replacing on the staff nor for what job they left UD (assum...
