2024 Schedule

[Caribbean Hen]

If anyone had any questions about moving up, imagine this same schedule for the next 20 years. Holy ****!

Oh nice post

I might have to steal it for AGS

8 &3 or 9-&2; Anything less is a terrible.

Seven home games great but what an atrocious slate. Two byes, does that mean they could still add a FBS game?

We’re following the Sam Houston and Jacksonville St model of transitioning which GoHens generally panned. JMU did it best, glad we seemed to pay attention….

2025 could be a hard dose of reality. At least it will be DSU and 11 FBS games.

Wonder why we chose to play 11 games when we could have played 12. Also curious to know what happened with Towson and Norfolk State off the schedule.

Be nice to win the battle of the blue before moving up. i aint getting any younger.

or add W&M and don't need Bryant at this juncture.

Your schedule seems like a final FU from the CAA.....although they threw you the "don't have to travel North" bone.

Would be nice to have an FBS game in 2024, but not horrific. As others have already mentioned, certainly helps to solidify why moving up to FBS was the only true option at this point.

Was wondering how I would feel towards a “meaningless” season next year. Juices got flowing a bit with the schedule release. Seven home games is awesome.

It is what it is regarding the schedule. Not upset at all knowing an attractive slate is already scheduled for 25. Get through this year and then we can enjoy all the FBS games we want for the foreseeable future.

I’ll wait to ‘25 to get season tickets back

No one mentioning the Penn game?

We got to drop some trash and pick up an Ivy.

Last Penn game a long way from a slam dunk. At least we don't have to face Rhoady for a fifth time in a row up there.

Hit the snooze button!

Interesting story about Penn. I was at the 1981 Penn game. Delaware was really sticking it to Penn when Raymond called off the dogs midway through the third quarter. There was an older fella sitting near me screaming his head off at Raymond for easing up. Turns out the guy was on the 1921 Delaware team that lost 89-0 to Penn. The then Penn coach (John Heisman) left the front line players in because he later said they needed more practice for next week's opponent. Old memories die hard.

A probably unavoidable weak experience for our final season in FCS. Those that already sneeze blue & gold confetti will rush to get their tickets on line this afternoon and the rest of the world will shrug their shoulders and go about their business. I really don't think we could expect anything , schedule wise, other then close to what we got so I'm in for another year but only an exceptional showing by the 24 Hens will give any confidence or incentive for others to jump on the boat. And another loss to Nova will certainly shut the door for any new excitement moving into the FBS.

I keep hearing how other teams have made the transition that didn't dominate in FCS and I agree they exist but it does nothing realistic for our program to forecast success down the road while eating cream puffs and losing to the stronger programs short term

Kick azz in 2024 and show the country Ryan and UD belong at the next level NOW and stop mumbling about eventually growing into those big boy pants or there will be a lot of empty seats sooner then you think.
