It's evident I'm somewhat of a football junkie. I just saw espn's replay of the Hail Mary attempt by Troy. I could only find one video on espn so I wondered if there is a replay from a different angle that allows me to decide if the Troy guy who attempted to grab the tipped ball could have nabbed it- he was close to winning the game with the Jax defender legally grabbing him(after the tipped ball =no interference). no worries if it's not available, but I love to see slow-mo replays and make my call after my initial impression. I bet you fellas do as well :wink:

UD is presenting a much improved production now with tv direction sent to espn. Kudos to whomever is responsible for getting our sports up to snuff :D 8)
Keep the faith kick butt go Hens

A few years back I believe "MaineJeff" said you could hunt deer safely in the East Stands during one particularly horrid matchup (St. Francis or Dixie State maybe).

Around the same time, Mike Francesa on one of his shows said something about attendance at Giants and Jets games being so bad you could practice archery in the upper decks at the Meadowlands

Those two melded together for me in this instance.

17-13.

JAX was Without CUSA Player of the YEAR.

I'll say again on this board.

<<<The CUSA title runs thru Jacksonville, Ala. every year.>>>
Congratulations to Jacksonville State

Was Troy State really the runner-up in the Sunbelt? I never would’ve known that just by watching the game as I thought they looked kind of Blasé

It makes me think Delaware has a better chance of winning tonight
Troy was in the conference championship game as the West Division winner (JMU beat them handily), but they certainly weren’t the 2nd best team in the conference. East division 2nd place ODU blew them out 33-0.

Troy lost their QB1 on the first series. He makes the offense go, much like Creel did for Jax.

I saw Troy play So Miss and JMU this season. I don't think we would have matched up well with them offensively or defensively. I like our chances better against the Cajuns.

Thanks Cluck

Of Troys 8 wins, only 1 of them was against a team that ended up with a winning record… but you could say, they certainly took care of business against who they should beat. I also see their starting QB went out early

Go Delaware
recruiting recruiting recruiting...It ain't rocket science....We need better more athletic players...That simple....

Three CUSA bowl game wins and two more games to go! The conference only had one bowl win last year.
Proud to be a F*king Blue Hen :D
