Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA
I’m excited! Sure, I would love that ideal eastern conference but that’s not happening. And maybe the national exposure will help overall, So, no more trips to Kingston but I’d be happy to go to UCONN. My last trip there for football was Eddie Conti day! Go Fightin’ Blue Hens! Sally in RI I was the...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA
If true, this has ended my affiliation with the UD football program in all ways, except as a “long distance” fan. UD - please remove me from all your emails; I no longer have any desire to attend BHTC and support something I do not believe in; won’t need season tickets (I believe in spite of the se...

Re: Attendance & Crowd at the Tub
Playoff attendance, especially during the Turkey Day holiday, is always low. The only good crowd I can remember was the one for the first Delaware/Delaware State matchup. That stadium was PACKED. It was packed, and yet attendance that day was announced as 19k or so. No way there were almost 4k empt...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA
2024 schedule will be interesting. Just two non- league games - Norfolk St and @ Del State on the slate. That leaves 9-10 weekends of possibilities. Do the Hens schedule any CUSA opponents either home or away (would obviously need holes in their schedules). The toughest part is schools schedules ga...

Re: Attendance & Crowd at the Tub
I grew up in those east stands at Delaware Stadium, we lived next door in brookside to Dr. Rylander and his wife, he gave my dad some tickets to a game when I was 8 in 1974 and I was hooked. Something me and my dad shared for all this time until he passed in 2022, following from afar, me in East Te...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA
Excited for this change and yes, it's very long in coming. Glad that Chrissi and the powers that be decided to finally make this move - it'll cost us a little more than it should've but that's the price of being a slow mover. The CUSA we're moving into today may not look like anything the CUSA will ...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA
I think this is a big mistake by Chrissi & UD! We cannot even beat Villanova or any of the Dakotas, and we are going to move up, only to get shellacked! Im all for moving up, but we need to consistently show we can win at the FCS level. The past 2 years is a great start, but we still don't have...

Re: UD to CUSA
The ESPN story from Thamel says that UD basketball would be eligible for the postseason in both 2023-24 and 2024-25 after a recent bylaw change in the CAA. Does that mean UD can play in the CAA tourney during some or all of this transition?

Re: Nine Wins!
That was a gutsy and awesome comeback by the Hens - all the credit in the world to Carty, his staff, and the players. With all the turnover they had this year, with all the injuries, to win a playoff game like that was a true testament to how improved this program is in just two years. It would be g...

Re: Undetermined
I suspect that it is rare that a non-conference champ wins the National title or makes it to the big game. Depends on the definition of rare. Since 2007, there have been 32 teams in the national title game. In those games, 11 of those teams have not been regular season champions of their conference...

Re: Undetermined
We're in the playoffs for two consecutive years now. We have the chance to be playing December football for two consecutive years. Sure, this was the norm a little more than 10 years ago, but it hasn't been the norm in the time since. Carty, for all of his flaws, is vastly superior to the two medioc...
Re: Lafayette
Watched part of that Lehigh/Lafayette game yesterday - Lafayette is a team we can beat. No reason not to get win #9 this year and then see what we'll see in Missoula. Hopefully the QB position gets healthier because nothing happens without a healthy QB. Get win #9, and play into December. That's the...

Re: Embarrassed and distraught
Funny thing is we always bring out the best in Nova. Today they played like a team that could go to the semi finals, but when they’re not playing Delaware, they don’t look as good, Towson played them better then we did. Nova will disappoint in the playoffs once again They care more when they play u...

Re: Embarrassed and distraught
I'm pissed. I'm tired of caring more about this rivalry than the players and coaches do. Was nova more talented? In some ways, yes. Some ways? Every position besides kicker Nova is just as good or better. Your opinion. Mine is different. Through the first half, game was pretty even. UD loses both t...
