Re: The Odds: Robert Morris

Delaware -4.5 has to be the squarest play on the board tonight. That line is terrifying. As an aside, the last time the Hens played here (I think), I drove out to End-of-the-Runway, Pennsylvania to watch them lose a truly awful game in front of about 100 poor souls. It was memorable only for the fac...

Re: Lafayette

I'm usually pretty good at predicting UD point spreads, but I'm really not sure what it will or should be against the Leopards. I think we'll see something fairly significant, probably in the 10.5-12.5 range, but I could never take Delaware at that number. I'd make it more like 6.5-7.5. I guess we'l...

Re: Embarrassed and distraught

It's not easy to go back in time and check out spreads on 1-AA games; but I suspect if we were to go back 20 years and re-engineer those lines, we'd find that - on the computer at least - Delaware and Villanova have been very, very close to even. UD has probably been favored six or seven times, the ...

Any of you have any experience at QB at the college level? Any eligibility left? You anywhere near Newark, Delaware?

Re: Game Thread: Campbell

Statement win today in, well, wherever the hell Campbell is! That's what I'm talking about! I hope the powers that be in the NEC and the Big South-OVC take note. We're so much more than an a MEAC School with a 25% renovated stadium! Much, much more!

I remember when my dad went down there in the 70's. I think it was like 63-0. Davidson is a really pretty place, though. Would sure as hell prefer that to Hampton.

Re: Game Thread: Campbell

Man, Campbell Day just hits different. I mean, you look for it on the schedule when it first comes out, and then you spend all year thinking about it, but it's always like Christmas morning when you wake up and realize Camel gameday has arrived. It's always hard to eat with all of those stomach but...

It's a shame Wesley doesn't exist anymore. Maybe UMBC will start a team.

Re: Just back from Not-So-Happy Valley...

I work with a guy who was recruited by Delaware in the 50's, and eventually went on to play at Army. I guess he hasn't been paying much attention, because he called me yesterday and asked what in the world had happened to Delaware football. I didn't know where to start, but did tell him it's pretty ...
