Moving up has absolutely nothing to do with success on the field at the FCS level. We could be 0-11 and could still be successful in moving up. Moving up is all about facilities, program support, money, etc. Heck, even Georgia State has a decent FBS team now and they were horrendous in FCS. Delaware...

What happened to Marker? Couldn't see from the other stands? Couldnt even see a hit? From our seats…late hit out of bounds. It is his knee. My guess would be ACL. It was a late hit. Saw it as well. I didn't really think the hit was late - maybe the guy continued the hit as they went out of bounds, ...

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. But it's not like we were outclassed out there in terms of straight talent. We were outclassed in terms of passion. We got pushed around from the very first snap and di...

That would be a road victory over Internet School for the Blind though, so that's something. The Kellers are tough at home. Wouldn't the Internet School for the Blind be better off playing in a dome with the lights off? I mean, they don't care, and it certainly presents a difficulty for the road te...

Agree with everyone else, the poll question is flawed. A 9-2 UD team, following a win over nova, won't be an 8 seed. Unless something weird happens, likely to be a 5 or 6 seed. Earliest we'd see SDSU would be the semifinals.

When you think about the 2003 final season game at Villanova what are some of the thing that come to mind? I just remember that Andy Hall gutted it out. Tough game, UD didn't have much to play for other than seeding, and I think nova was fighting for their playoff lives (which didn't work out for t...

Actually the draught did start in 2006. It was not unusual for one side to win several in a row then reverse the situation. After UD wins in 03,04 & 05 Villanova took over the rivalry game and never gave it back except for 2 exceptions. Tubby did not have a losing record against the Wildcats, T...

There’s that strength of schedule thing again. The CAA Commissioner needs to let the pollsters know the CAA is the best conference from top to bottom.Basically, the CAA’s bottom is much better than any others’ bottom. I’m sure he can convince them. Umm, No. Not even close. Born Power Ratings for bo...

Good news about the OL. Even though we have an exceptional group of wide receivers my most pleasant surprise this season is the maturation of the offensive big guys. . I doubt anyone on here thought without a few new faces that they would perform so well. The current WRs are a good group but yardag...

I was talking about the NCAA sticking to its guns. They may back down from the Michigans and North Carolina’s of the world but they’re not going to lose any sleep over a UD. And yet they backed down to Liberty. When they get pushed on things that aren't really defensible, they back down (and yes, t...

I frankly doubt that if it came to it, the NCAA would be willing to engage in protracted litigation over denying Delaware a waiver to go FBS independent. The NCAA is weaker than it has ever been. Another court ruling against one of its regulations would further expose the NCAA for what it is (a car...

My hope is that 30 years from now we're screaming at Carty to "turn the screen," with the same loving fondness that people once reserved for Tubby at the tail end of his career. I love how he has recruited the speed needed to run the offense he has in common. I agree with his theory on &q...

It's all being worked on (a move) and it will take care of itself. Enjoy the moment we are in. Agreed. You guys could go out national champs in FCS and wake up in FBS next season. Jealous. As good as we are, I think there's a gap between all of FCS and SDSU. You could make an argument that we're th...

Crash and burn. Ranks up with there with some of the most bitter Philly defeats. And we've had plenty of them. As I told the kids, it's just part of a being a Philly sports fan.

Montana St and South Dakota St are on another level. To me, it’s them, and then the rest of the FCS. They played earlier this year and it wouldn’t shock me one bit to see a rematch in Frisco. From my limited viewing of FCS games in '23, I don't see Delaware competing with SDSU, Montana St., Idaho, ...
