Post Season Tidbits #1

After the announcement was made about UD moving to Conference USA, as GoHens media rep, I sent an email with several questions to Brendan Thomas, in late November, who passed them along to Jordan Skolnick. Several of those questions and answers have been addressed in the interim, but with the recent...

Re: 2024 Schedule

I can't recall the last time ND played an FCS team. Well, technically, we'd be in transition. Does that count as a fully FCS team or an FBS team? We would have 85 scholarships, so we could not be an official FCS team, right? Hope springs eternal. That is a destination that I would make. Saw a hocke...

Re: 2024 Preview

LiLax,
Thanks for taking the time to write this up and provide your insight. Anyone who follows your posts is interested in the details. I can’t imagine anyone with an interest in UD lacrosse not wanting to read every word.

Re: CUSA - Press Conference

She also said that we had committed to the CAA that we will only use 63.5 scholarship equivalency players when we play CAA foes. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Re: CUSA - Press Conference

Questions I submitted for GoHens in response to an email I received yesterday from Nick LaMarca (Senior Associate Athletic Director, External Relations Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation Services). I did not hear any of these asked during the press conference, but am hoping to get at least som...

FBI - Lafayette

As readers may recall from past years, I try to write up my notes and observations from the games I am able to attend using the acronym FBI (for F ield, Press B ox , and I nterviews ). I always try to write up my observations before reading other GoHens posts so that, right or wrong, what you read a...

Re: FBI - Campbell

Enjoyed the report Big R Cluck, who were the 4 down lineman when we went to it? It was hard to pick out those details from the outer space camera work It looked to me, through the fuzzy cam, that they moved Hall inside with Hunter and added Abou-Jaoude to the outside with McGowan. They rotate a lot...

Re: FBI - Campbell

From your description, seems like a really rinky dink operation reminiscent of the Hens' visits to Parsons Field and Musselman Stadium in days of yore. Hopefully, the Hens' first and last trip down there. Anyway, great rebound win in a dead environment. Playing in front of empty seats can sometimes...

Re: Comcast Didn't Broadcast the Duquesne Game?

There are two Comcast Sports Philly channels Comcast Sports Philadelphia Comcast Sports Philadelphia+ When I used to be on cable with a provider here in Central PA, I only got the first channel.

10/11 Conf Call w/RC - Analytics & Penalties

As mentioned at the tail end of the Duquesne FBI thread, I did ask RC about the interception in the end zone, so check there for that brief discussion. Then we got into a very interesting Q&A about analytics, penalties and more. I asked a question and, after RC’s lengthy answer, KT asked a follo...

Re: FBI Duquesne

Summary The final score in this game was probably about what it should have been, except that we could/should have scored at least one more TD. No one has yet asked RC about the call on the goal line that turned into an interception. Maybe one of us will sneak that in another time. So, we had our 1...

Re: FCS vs. FBS according to Sanders
