Re: Coach Cignetti
It's just a hyperbolic discussion, no big deal and I see it as a positive. I'm okay with Carty being the Delaware Lite version of Cignetti. If he can retain our top talent and pull in players from all levels of the NCAA football, I'm more than fine with that. Just look at all of the transfer offers ...

Re: Coach Cignetti
He's highly intelligent and has figured it out until other teams start to copy what he does. The average age of his starters is close to 23 years old. The average age of the Green Bay Packers is 25. Yes, he has an eye for talent obviously, but it's more than that. He chooses highly motivated athlete...

Re: Player Commitments
That's a fair question. KC is on record as saying if his players enter the portal they will not be welcomed back. Carty has not commented but I wish he would take the same approach. If you go in the portal, your scholarship will be given to someone else. Perhaps he does say that privately. Carty is...

Re: Player Commitments
Does anyone know what Carty's stance is on players entering the portal? Do they have an opportunity to come back to UD if things don't pan out? I know KC let players test the waters after his was hired, but now if they choose to enter the portal... adios.

Re: Player Commitments
A lot goes into a player’s decision to stay—culture, camaraderie, and comfort all matter. Carty is smart, well spoken, and represents Delaware Football well, and it seemed like the players genuinely enjoyed the season. NIL money obviously plays a role, but so does knowing where you stand and being c...

Re: Minicucci Staying
I'm happy to see Minicucci and Wilson staying, that's great news. That being said, these announcements of players staying are down right annoying. I know it's the way things are now, yada, yada... still annoying though.

Re: KT Article
I really hope they’re building something special. Everyone I work with has always known I played at UD, but until this year, no one ever talked to me about it. I never once heard, “Hey, nice win against Campbell last week.” This season was different. I actually had real conversations with coworkers ...

Re: Poll: Did the 2025 season represent progress? (nuance abounds)
Using the choices above... Yes, of course. Hens won a bowl game. Enough said. Kudos to all. Can't wait for 2026! But, our national TV struggles should be against Power 4 foes only, not conference rivals and the program still needs big changes. In reality, the question is irrelevant in the NIL age. E...

3 man rush with a QB that can barely walk. Genius.

Re: CUSA Football general news, info, Etc....
I'm on board with keeping the stadium capacity around 20,000, but upgrading the east side seating and adding amenities in the NEZ. Making the east stands the home side with an elevated club level would be a great move. Just look at Northwestern’s new stadium—its capacity dropped from 47,000 to 35,00...

Re: Delaware AD
BG, I haven’t really heard “full steam ahead” yet regarding FBS football since the historic decision 18 months ago. I continue to be concerned about that. This piece did nothing to change my mind. To do FBS right, the stadium and facilities upgrade is a must. Look at the stadium in Mobile for the b...
