Re: CUSA - October Schedule

To quote the great Thomas Sowell, "there are no solutions, only tradeoffs." In order to join FBS, this is the trade-off. There was no perfect solution available. I don't like the mid-week games....at all...but it really is a small slate of games that directly impact Delaware and, on avera...

Re: New Women's Basketball Associate Head Coach

Further, UMES has one of the worst college athletic programs on the country. Unless * until that changes, I wouldn't hire anyone form UMES. It is very unlikely that Batchelor will be a boost to the UD Women"s Basketball program in any aspect.

No but temps in the 40's to low 50's at night aren't warm either, especially when compared to the temps on Oct or even Nov afternoons when the sun makes it feel warmer than the actual temps.

Re: CUSA - October Schedule

Yep, all the mid-week games are spread between ESPN 2, ESPNU, CBSSportsnet, ESPN+, etc. I want to say WKU got a game on ESPN but I’d have to double check. They are spread Tues, Wed, Thurs and maybe one on Friday. Depends on what the networks say. As indicated by someone, evening games in the south ...

Re: CUSA - October Schedule

It took some getting used to for me last year. The big disruption is homecoming. We had ours the first week of Nov. Next fall it will be in Sept. LU had a “Midweek on the Mountain” media blitz with town leaders encouraging locals to attend. I don’t remember the specific numbers but turnout was rela...

New Women's Basketball Associate Head Coach

Announced on bluehens.com that fired and losing UMES HC Fred Batchelor has been hired as Women's Basketball Associate Head Coach. As is almost always the case when UD announces a new hiring, UD ridiculously did not announce who Batchelor is replacing on the staff nor for what job they left UD (assum...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

Thank You Sir, Choctaw in OK is somewhat high on my list to get to. Multiple WSOP circuit events during the year and they seem to be very well attended. Memorial Day weekend will be my 2nd tourny since NY, 2 day event at Live in Philly. Anyway I think the school would be a nice addition to the leag...

Re: CUSA - October Schedule

Meh...I will go to a couple weeknight games. Tailgating will be tougher, though. But, it frees up those beautiful Saturdays so that Hens fans can go on a walk in the parks, a sail, to the beach (the water is still warm) or watch the kids/grandkids play sports. Win. And watch other College FB games ...

Re: 2024 Softball

UD faces UNCW at noon tomorrow. UD & UNCW did not play each other this season. Since UNCW is at home, I believe that they are in the Queen's seat. UNCW hosts the CAA tourneys flor both Softball & Baseball. :roll: Of course with UD leaving the CAA after next year, UD didn't get to host any CA...

https://x.com/CAASports/status/1788636370627424539 What a great play to end the game. If we win, we'll play UNCW tomorrow at noon. If we lose, we'll play right after this game against #6 Hofstra in a win-or-go-home game. First pitch now at 3:05 Yeah, it would be a real disadvantage to lose in th UD...

Re: 2024 Post Mortem

Two big question going forward that could have a major affect on the recruiting, the future of HC DeLuca, and the overall M/W Lax programs, is what conference(s) (if any) will M/W Lax be joining and when will that be announced? I agree that UD needs to bring in 2-3 players from Canada every year as ...
