Brilliant idea, sir. I'll ask Missy.

Re: Future Schedule Updates

These are the home and home games we wanted to schedule but could not in the past. See ya FCS!!! 100%, sir. Getting more attractive home games and developing/rekindling rivalries with regional teams is what it's all about for me. I'm way less interested in the post-season, especially in the short-t...

Re: Conversation Starter

Jimmy Flynn was an exceptional sprinter, though most who remember his days as an athlete at UD recall him as a great halfback on the Admiral's teams. My mother's family & Jimmy's were close out in western PA, so I got to know him while he was a student at UD and, of course, later when he coached...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

It has been reported that one Missouri State donor has a nasty cough. It is covered. Ha ha. Yes. That $5M entrance fee isn't going to hold a single school back from reclassifying if they really want to do it. In the long term, it's a mere drop in the bucket to the hundreds of millions schools spend...

Sadly, the Inner Harbor has seen its better days. The pandemic killed it off. Charm City has so much to offer, but the Inner Harbor is no longer a place you want to visit. There's a plan afoot to knock down much of the now-abandoned complex for redevelopment.

Re: Transfer Portal Open

Mr. Islander, your last missive had me thinking of the late, great Harold R's repeated comment he'd make on his old Channel 2 TV orogram whenever a player expressed a bit of overexuberance at his performance: "Well, that young man is certainly very proud of himself. Give mom a wave." Tubby...

Re: Transfer Portal Open

Totally Disagree. Yes FIU has been the worst team in CUSA lately. In 2022 WKU beat them 73-0.Yes 73-0. The bottom half of CUSA is still better than 80% of FCS teams. Without question. People making those sort of comments have clearly not watched a lot of G5 football or don't understand how numbers ...

Re: Group of Five Playoff?

My head hurts .... Agree. It's all up in the air right now and, IMO, not worth paying serious attention to the topic. So many divergent discussions. It'll get sorted out in due time. I still believe Delaware made the move to reclassify just in the nick of time. There may be less opportunity to do t...

Re: Group of Five Playoff?

Well, there are a lot of proposals being fronted right now, including complete FBS realignment based on geography with a super-league that includes G5 relegation and a separate G5 post-season tournament. No matter, this is going to end up being far better for UD than where we were and on so many lev...

I remember him as a rock solid player, who often played with injuries it seemed. His memory will live on with those that recall his on-the-field heroics.

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

Only THREE this year. But take into consideration--we Only have Nine teams. I'd bet most Delaware fans care far less about the number of players drafted versus out of the subdivision vs. the quality and number of players UD will be able to attract at the FBS level. While it's always nice promo for ...

Re: Group of Five Playoff?

Yes, Dooley is probably not the guy that going to seal some type of G5 playoff but put me down for wanting a G5 playoff sooner then later A G5 post-season tournament would have to involve a limited number of schools (2-3 weeks in length at most), guarantee profit for the participants, and garner su...
