How about we play a game first? Hell, how about we have a Spring Game before we judge his offense.




How about we have a press conference?

I suspect short of an NCAA appearance this year, we won't have to wonder for very much longer. I know of decomposing pieces of roadkill less in need of reinvigoration than our men's basketball program.

Mixed feelings.

To be honest, I am really disappointed in what this portends regarding our AD.

I think gannonfans post is 100% on point. My heart is with Joe C and his comments because I want this program to succeed. It would be so much more exciting to be focused on next season based on not just hope, but some past evidence of success from the new HC.

Obviously we need to wait and see and I will be an optimist, but I would love to know how the new AD considered him to be the best candidate.

Best case scenario, Brock's lack of strong results is due to his not being the head guy and maybe he was stifled and the ad knows his talents.

Worst case is the ad just spent all his goodwill capital on a crony move and we burn through another coach in 36 months.

While we may not know how this pans out for a year or two in football,I think what the ad does regarding monte Ross will confirm or deny our suspicions.

Dare to be there.

I think the University lost that dare, looking at the attendance figures.

The Brock hire is just a huge fail. I won't be renewing.

Welcome to Newark Mr. Brock... We are a proud group winning w integrity and losing w dignity. We expect changes. We dont expext a drop in

our proud heritage which includes class and character. We will support you all the while playing Monday morning quarter backs. We will be a factor in every

game. Here is to you Mr Brock and Hopefully you forge a new lagacy. You have tough shoes to fill not only as a coach but as a person.

Your are following 3 class acts. Nelson, Raymond (the best of the best) and Keeler. Thank you once gain Coach K. I am sure you will find success

elsewhere. Mr Brock, all we ask is that we play hard nosed bone crushing football. That we hold our heads high in victory and higher in defeat.

As former Phillies great Richie Allen 15 once said All you owe us is a hard game of ball. We want that plus the same integrity and succes that we have

become accustomed too. I offer one tip bring back our homefield advantage. I challenge Blue Hen Nation to support out Guy to make the Tub a nasty house of Pain.

One more thing Mr Brock As always and from Joe C a die hard fan yes Doc "the first 15 is on me" Lets get nasty and play physical UD football

Lets play some darn football....Play hard Play Loose and play it to the end...

Welcome Mr Brock Now get to work time is a waisting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HERE HERE !!!! The post of the day. Thx joe c



Make that 2 - Joe C - I love your spirit

Other schools used to come into the TUB crapping their pants. Now they come in cocky and go out laughing. If our new coach can just install that fear back into our opponents, he will keep my total support that I give today. If not, then the new coach will learn about the section J fans and our famous cheer = U G L Y, you ain't got no alibi - you ugly - yeah - you ugly!

That's your famous cheer, huh? Something a softball team full of 8-year-old girls in any Suburbia, USA town can chant?

Section J's better than that, aren't they?!?
