Re: Tres on football today

I could be a little bit off, but, as I recall, Chrissy and Jordan told me that he university wanted 60% of the total cost of the Whitney Athletic Center to be covered by financial commitments (UD, whales, etc.) before making an official announcement to the public and asking for “the rest of us” to c...

Re: NIL News - UD gets mentioned with the big boys

Interesting article about the NIL. Might need a subscription to read this. If you don’t have one, maybe they let you read several for free (I’m not sure since I have one). https://www.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/2023/07/hey-jones-why-franklin-says-psu-is-behind-on-nil-which-big-sports-event-will-...

Re: Concept North Endzone

Thought this YouTube video of MAC Conference stadiums was interesting.
Just cannot enjoy a stadium with a track.

It’s an interesting series covering all FBS and FCS conferences.
Here’s the CAA

Re: Concept North Endzone

How many seats were “lost” in the 1st project. I guess we have to “assume” that the same amount will be “lost” when the other stands are updated? Does anyone know why the old press box hasn't been removed 4 years later?? Probably an unnecessary expense until such time as they renovate the East Stan...

Re: Concept North Endzone

I really don’t believe the goal of this project has ever been to add any really significant amount of seating capacity to the stadium. If/when we go FBS, how much more seating capacity would we really need? We wouldn’t be hosting teams from any Power 5 conferences, (or 4, or 3, or however many “majo...

Re: Concept North Endzone

Really Cool and modern looking design. This will more than likely only increase the stadium capacity for a couple of thousand maybe (gets us back to just over 20k?) but will really provide and enhanced experience and more social options to everyone who goes to the games. The new building will also ...

Re: Concept North Endzone

Thanks, Dan! More or less how I had mentally pictured it based on the initial discussions. Except I had pictured the new Fieldhouse/indoor practice facility to be somewhat larger to house a full-size practice field, offices for various sports, football locker rooms and more. But perhaps it’s just th...

Re: Pro Day Wednesday

Pitts has all the makings of an NFL receiver, and even potentially a good one as well. He's a bit of a steal later in the draft by the right team. And the "right team" is what held him back here at Delaware all these years. Crappy offenses, and crappily designed offenses, held him back un...

Transcript from GoHens portion of Monday's Zoom call with Coach Carty

On Monday, Dec. 5th, Coach Carty had a Zoom “Media Availability Call” which was hosted by Brendan Thomas. Media participants were Kevin Tresolini, Andy Walter, Dan Steenkamer, and, I believe, Konner Metz from the UD Review. I asked several questions at different points during the call, which I've tr...

Re: Guys in the Portal

mid way through the 3rd quarter of the NC game before Gino got hurt. Go Hens. That may have hurt, but the real backbreaker was losing Jake Giusti. That's when EWU started marching up and down the field with their passing game. I could be wrong, but as I recall, Walters slid over into Jake's positio...
