I remember when Tubby was subbed in for historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. He said: when a replacement speaker was required - "I became the cost-effective option".

93BlueHen, Are you talking about Men's Basketball, what coaches, and what year?

I think he’s referring to Harker.

In retrospect this was a man who didn't feel threatened by the success of the football team/coach.

I wonder if Towson is that much better. We will see.

This was from the UD Messenger email highlighting the UD Board discussion on UD financial challenges: William Lafferty, vice chair of the board, asked about the financial impact of moving the Athletics program to Conference USA in fall 2025. Assanis said the costs — which will start in the FY2026 bu...

Soccer headed to the Summit League. I’m somewhat surprised they couldn’t find something closer. Other teams include Denver, UMKC, St Thomas Minnesota, Oral Roberts, and Omaha. Talk about travel. https://twitter.com/DanSteenkamer/status/1775946792514842877 St Thomas (the Tommies) are interesting. Th...

Of note to the Hens is that Towson is seen as the likely CAA qualifier for the NCAAs

Yes I love Maine (the whole state) and would never mistreat them. UD might be considered a founder of the MAC - from Wiki: In 1922, it was reorganized as the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC or MAC). The original 13 members present at the formation meeting in 1922 were: ...

I was going to suggest the Big also. But, I think these are all pipe dreams. Big East maybe. Patriot could be good but it would seem preposterous given the larger scale picture. Staying with the CAA on this could be realistic - but Hampton! I thought I read that the CAA has withdrawn the welcome ma...

Same interest with respect to FH and Lax. My probably unrealistic hopes for Lax are as follows: 1. Big East or ACC - We are competitive in the BE and that league would likely interest HS recruits. ACC - we might never see the NCAA again. 2. Patriot League - annual matches againsit Army, Navy, Loyol...

With five other teams in the Summit, that should mean two or three away conference matchups, plus a possible conference tournament. There will be regional OOC games that will require much less of a trip. Of greater interest, to me at least, are the landing spots for MLAX and FH. Same interest with ...

Lou Holtz: Once after being fired early in his career, Lou came up with a lofty list of things he wanted to accomplish in life and he proudly showed it to his wife. She said -“I don’t see get a job here on this list”. Upon being hired as Minnesota’s coach Holtz told the school’s stakeholders that th...

Is he saying we have a chance? From the Washington Post: “I guarantee you that I coach at a much lower level once coaching at this level is gone,” Hurley said late Thursday night, standing outside Connecticut’s locker room in the bowels of TD Garden. “My dream jobs are, like, Montana, Montana State,...

Delaware State in MEAC title game today at 1 p.m. (ESPN2). Advanced by defeating S.C. State and N.C. Central, who Hornets went 0-4 against in regular season. Play Howard, who knocked off top-seed Norfolk State yesterday. Hornets also lost to Bison twice in regular season, including by 19 points on ...
