Re: Zack Marker

He was throwing on the sidelines this past Saturday during the Practice session in the Stadium and moving around fairly well. He did not take part in the other drills.Having him back healthy would be HUGE For sure John! I’m kind of surprised to hear Marker is that far along but it’s definitely good...

Re: 2024 Game Times Announced

Well, at least you recognize FCS used to be good because following Delaware now in CUSA will be like following what FCS was ….. only no playoffs I-AA was fine for UD for a time. However, I don't agree at all with the second half of your comment. The competitiveness of Delaware's regular season sche...

Re: 715 April 8th, 1974

Thanks CH for your memories. I was always a big fan of Hank Aaron. My grandparents and uncle used to live in Milwaukee. My uncle took me to a Braves game in Milwaukee when we visited one summer (1959 or 1960). I’ll never forget seeing Aaron, Eddie Mathews, and Wes Covington hit consecutive home run...

Re: 2024 Game Times Announced

You have to go back 50 plus years to about 1971... So the “Little League’ ran it’s course but no reason to ridicule it. A 50+ years ago was...well, a half a century ago, which underscores the point that the subdivision hasn't served UD well for many, many years. Most alive weren't around 50 years a...

Re: Interview With President Assanis

Re: Intterview With President Assanis

“It is, therefore, quite the different crowd that Delaware is poised to embrace. For any concern of culture shock or an unnatural fit, there is the more apparently pressing interest of widening the university’s scope and visibility.” Oh come on Dan don’t tell me you’ve never been down to Sussex Coun...

Re: 2024 Game Times Announced

Let’s not pretend the “Little League” was not very kind to our Delaware Blue Hens Kind in what ways over, say, the last 10-15 years? How far back do we need to look to argue THAT point? Attendance and season ticket sales don't lie. In any type of business, this sort of consistent & precipitous ...

Oh savior of the message board, rescue us from Coach Carty learning by experience. This is his first year, right? Maybe you could send him one of your patented 1000-word posts so that he can have a first-hand experience of your hubris and know-it-allism while being able to take a nap at the same ti...

Re: 2024 Game Times Announced

We go from no FBS games in 2024 to three, including two against P4s, in September 2025 alone. Could even be four if the open date on Sep 20 gets filled. Buckle up! Well Carty has a year to start getting some serious talent on that roster or we might be reading a sad article after 2026 A tale of two...

High school sports will only get more popular, at least until all of this seeps down and ruins that too

I heard a rumor spring practice has started, can anyone confirm?

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

Can we still participate in FCS playoffs in 2024? NOPE In fact, if mama has ever wanted to take a post-Thanksgiving cruise or visit the Christmas markets in Germany, 2024 and 2025 are your years to get that done. No FCS playoffs in 2024. No bowl game in 2025. The rule change to 5-7 teams being bowl...
