Re: Richmond to the patriot league in 2025

While there are the academic and geographical fits for Nova to join the PL, competitively, why would you want to add a program that will likely dominate the league for years. W&M should be a gimmie but if I’m not sure if I’m a PL coach that I’m in for the cats joining. I think Nova recruiting w...

Re: Richmond to the patriot league in 2025

Have to admit, and I'm sure this may not be popular with some-but i really am admiring the move to the PL by Richmond- I hoped UD would do same for a few reasons- And this is just my opinion/assumption and not a knock against our team today and future- I always thought the Patriot League would be a...

Re: Richmond to the patriot league in 2025

Why couldn’t Nova, W&M, Towson. Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Albany and Stony Brook break away and start their own northeast football conference? It’s a shame what the CAA has become. But as others have already said, so happy that UD finally abandoned that sinking ship. That’s a shame. I...

Re: CUSA Spending

UD's Olympic Sports spending #1 ranking in CUSA is most likely due to ghe fact that UD sponsors significantly more Olympic Sports since UD plays 7 (soon 8 with the addition of W's Ice Hockey) of those sports that CUSA does not sponsor.

Re: 2024 Baseball

The other two UD Baseball players who are leaving after this season are LHP Eli Atiya (listed as a R-Jr who it appears could have come back for a 5th season due to covid year 2020) and Second Baseman Chris Dengler (listed as a Jr. but actually a grad student from ODU who had a covid year in 2020 &am...

Re: 2024 Baseball

We will be facing the best pitcher in the conference when we face William and Mary in the first round. Knowles from W&M decisively leads the conference in ERA (2.22) and opponent batting average (.178). William and Mary beat preseason ranked Campbell at Buies Creek in a big game today to just g...

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: 2024 Post Mortem

bluehenbillk & Henny, With the future conference (or independent status?) for UD Men's Lax (among 5 other sports including FH & Women's Lax) still up in the air a lot of jobs may now be more appealing to HC DeLuca than the UD job.

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 wel...

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: 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...
