Cluck is on target, as usual, about the financial issues in the state and at UD. Furthermore, I would add that the new administration’s priorities are unlikely to include throwing more money into athletics. I have yet to hear the new president claim that ”athletics is the front porch of the univers...

Great segment on ESPNU tonight with Jeremy Schaap on the current state of college athletics under NIL, Rev Share, and the Transfer Portal. Highly recommend checking it out.

I’m not disagreeing with you, John. I think what we have here is a failure to communicate…😀 I never intended to suggest KT doesn’t have a good relationship with UD. To the contrary, I was complementing him for the article and only suggesting that he has to walk a bit of a tightrope whenever being “c...

Essentially what you would expect. Other than football and a few other sports…men’s soccer, swimming, tennis, women’s lacrosse…our transition out of the CAA has not been very good. Regarding subscribing, hard to disagree that the New Journal has gone downhill, but I like the thought of supporting lo...

There are a lot of Martin Ingelsby haters out there. I would like to see his results if we would spend the money to get better players to come here and then spend the money to keep them here. He has to coach with his hands tied. I guess he’s had his hands tied for the past 11 seasons??? No one expe...

While I don’t disagree that many schools schedule non-Division I games, I’ll never understand the logic in scheduling more than one. They really do nothing for you. Beating a Wilmington U by 30 does zero to help you prepare for conference play, and losing is even worse…as we did this season. We coul...

Me too…Felt like I was fair but brutally honest.

She was quite arguably the most accomplished athlete ever to attend the University of Delaware. I had the good fortune to referee a number of her basketball games while she was at Ursuline, and throughly enjoyed watching her play at UD during her record-breaking collegiate career. That UNC NCAA tour...

UD head coaches (not interim) in my lifetime (1979): Football: 5 (Raymond, Keeler, Brock, Rocco, Carty) Football Winning Percentage in that time: .620 Men's Basketball: 6 (Rainey, Steinwedel, Brey, Henderson, Ross, Ingelsby) Men's Basketball Winning Percentage in that time: .520 to .525 Note: WP #s...

Those Gohens nights with Brock were awesome Rich. Joe C was in his element. If I recall correctly, Brock took an instant liking to Joe. Have you ever approached the possibility of doing a Gohens session with RC, or do you know the answer would be a definite no way? I personally don’t have an issue w...

Jordan continues to say all the right things…very impressive. But even he acknowledged that talk is cheap. Time for MI to put up or shut up. Next season has to show significant improvement or it will be time to move on.

My other concern with the program is that we get key freshman in BUT we dont retain them. One good year & they are gone. The portal has really killed some good programs, and De is one of them. Do I think MI will ever get us to the early Brey era? Def not but I also dont think think program will...

Thanks again, Rich…very informative. Don’t know how much you got into men’s hoops with Jordan this time around, but I’d personally love to get his thoughts on the state of the program. What does he think the long-standing issues are, and if he and the administration have any real plans to elevate De...
