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 averag...

Re: Will the game day experience go FBS too?
I'm fine with the 3rd because the horns & tubas entertain in the stands and that's one of my favorite par5s of GameDay. What I hate is sending the drum line off for the entire 2nd quarter to "warm up" and then not playing in the 3rd. I don't know that I've ever seen another college ban...

Re: New FCS Power Poll
Lafayette is well ahead of North Dakota State. Down year or not, the Bison would win by 35. I don't put much faith in the accuracy of these rankings outside of SDSU being #1. Just beat Towson. Everything else will eventually become clear.

Re: ST Francis Post Game Presser
Not sure what he said or why he was yelling at our coaches but their coach was close to the hashes on our side of the field yelling and screaming at our coaches after the melee in the endzone. I'm sure whatever that was all about is what led to him skipping the handshake. My seats are far away but i...

Re: The Analyst: CAA Preview
Picked 5th isn't crazy but this is the highest "praise" I've seen Villanova receive anywhere. I'm not sure how things will shake out but I have to think this is the most accurate prediction for them. They had a down year last year but didn't fall off a cliff.....and we know what happened w...

Re: Stony Brook
Stony Brook, even when not particularly talented across the board, has typically been a tough physical team that has not been a pushover. I expect the same this year. Despite having a lot of newcomers, our talent is significantly higher than theirs and anything less than a 10+ point win would be a d...

Re: Spring 2023 Positional Previews- Running Backs
Delaware just put out a 3 headed monster pic on their various multi-media outlets for the running back group. We never saw him last year but I know they were high on Jo'Nathan Silver. He's not pictured but does anyone see a role for him this year? https://twitter.com/Delaware_FB/status/1673829466173...

Re: Spring 2023 Positional Previews- Running Backs
I thought Cumby was over-reliant on the "bounce" outside early in the season but did a little more straight line running as the season went on. He got better and better as the year went on and, with his speed, if he can hit a crease quickly, he can really cook in the second and third level...
