Re: UMass to the MAC

From one of the articles linked above “Conference USA is as transitory of a conference as there is in college football, while the MAC has been about as stable as any conference throughout history. Standing at 10 teams for the 2024 season, the CUSA is the smallest conference in the FBS— but it has h...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

Ahhhh…a Z-Daddy reference…the clown who fired Keeler and then did his exhausting 5-minute search for a replacement that brought us the first of the disastrous Brocco twins. Helluva thing…to start us looking toward our road to FBS by first trashing our football program and dragging us into the Lost ...

Re: Drexel II

No outside shooting and always rouses memories of Brian Magid … Ive told the stories

He’s still alive…. If anyone can teach these guys how to shoot it’s him

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

I'm not sure how you'd call an obvious decision more than 20 years in the making "rushed", but I understand how it could seem that way if you choose to narrow your perspective to the last year or two or weren't aware of what was happening behind the scenes. UD has been speaking with CUSA ...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

This is also another potential twist, and why we could not get certain schools to come here even on two for one because their conference won’t even allow it. Why does it feel like G5 (whatever that is) is being treated like the old 1-AA ? Just look at your new back to the Future Conference … that’s...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

NOT ashamed of our fcs history at all. Just seen too many fans use an "FCS past" as a "slight" or "put-down". This change will be a fresh start for UD. Enjoy it! Embrace it! Talking about leaving CUSA--way too premature IMO. Rumors flying that W Kentucky is headed to t...

Re: Charleston

The very long version of “it’s the fans”. UD just did something very bold by announcing the move to FBS. The need to keep the momentum going. Blaming the fans for slow walking the NEZ would be the business as usual from UD I thought was in the process of being abandoned. Just friggen get it done. T...

Re: Charleston

Don’t have much to say about our team. What I will say is that it was an absolute treat to watch Charleston tonight. What a well coached, well oiled machine. Coach, Let me ask you If MI had Charlestons roster, would Charleston be as good as that well oiled machine right now? If the answer is no, is...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

Love to see Temple replace Nova. UMD would also be nice, if UD could get a 2 Road & 1 Home deal set up. Didn't VT do that with ODU? They currently have a 13 game series going on, with 6 scheduled at ODU. Though there’s been rumors that VA Tech may buy out the ODU home games from what I’ve seen ...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

They will be our new Nova moving up. Hopefully will fare better. :lol: UConn the new Nova like rival? I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry at that comment but then again some of our recent coaches had no clue about the rivalry and generally our players understanding of the rivalry is questionable ...

Re: Lefty Driesell Passing

ACC basketball was big in the 70s and I was a big Maryland fan. Dad told me Lefty couldn’t coach because his teams didn’t play Defense and the Big 10 would eat the talented Maryland teams alive. One quote I remember from Lefty was “I will make Maryland the UCLA of the east” …. Never did work out for...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

I'd much rather see UConn than the other NC “slop”, CR has been bringing unto Newark lately. +1 Change see to beat and I’m with you And CUSA is a Conference that Delaware should be very competitive right off the bat in 2026 9 team Conference with 5 teams ranked #115 or below …. Let’s go in to win
