Re: UD Financial Issues

“Higher education institutions across the country are having to navigate both near- and long-term financial challenges,” the statement read If UD is having financial issues, and it’s really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, Imagine the impacts being felt by some of the less well off schools that pl...

Pop Quiz with no answer key because I’ve been gone to long and don’t have answers Delaware population center is in New Castle County and sports interest is centered on Philadelphia pro teams much more than college football? True or False Delaware is the second smallest state and the smallest part of...

Re: Drexel

I hate to start pounding the coach again after pounding Ross and Henderson a lot, but I am getting to that point. Something is just not gelling. The team doesn't seem to play hard enough to play good D. Someone earlier mentioned Riley's lack of scoring, but I can't recall him having an open look al...

Re: Stadium Expansion & New Football Facility

So how many seats does Delaware Stadium need moving into the FBS era? I would like to see a Pavilion like NEZ that would give new fans and students a good reason not to take the easy way out of attending games.

Newark got federal funds for the pedestrian/bike bridge over White Clay Creek on Paper Mill ...

Re: Future JMU Series

JMU on the schedule is obviously a good thing …until they beat us up a few times. Cap’n obvious statement of the day is Delaware needs to get so much better to have a chance to win these JMU games. JMU is no FIU, UTEP or La Tech, CUSA teams Delaware could beat today. Delaware can certainly be good e...
