Re: Game Clock Changes
Yes, but baseball doesn’t run by a clock. I think Harker was in the camp of phasing football out. How else can his decisions be considered? Soccer and LAX on the rise. You can tell me lacrosse is on the rise but they’re been saying that about soccer for 40-50 years And people 10-20 years ago would ...

Re: QB's on Day 1
Do football programs anywhere have free and unfettered access for the media anymore? I thought UD is following the model of the majority of schools - fans typically aren't allowed in and the media has limited access as granted by the school. I'd certainly vote for a lot more access, but I also don'...

Re: Media Day
I'm all good with Carty - 8-5 first year, win over an FBS team, home playoff win, and football into December. In any other year, with any other coach, that's a successful season. Certainly wasn't perfect so plenty to improve upon, but that's a successful first year. Hoping to see the improvements t...

Re: PreSeason All-CAA
Kevin has another good article in DOL this morning. " In 2010, Delaware shared the CAA title with William & Mary with a 6-2 mark and reached the NCAA title game. Since then, the Blue Hens are 44-48 in CAA games with just one league title. That was while going 4-0 during the abbreviated 202...

Re: FCS pre-season Top 25 poll by Sam Herder
And Gannett does the same thing today regarding political figures of the day. It's okay, whatever you read or watch needs to be viewed with a sceptical eye. All of the above is a pretty dim view lumping all newspapers and media together. It almost gives folks license, or at least allows them to rat...

Re: FCS pre-season Top 25 poll by Sam Herder
And there you have it So safe to assume Delaware will be in FCS for several years or more, unless they decide to go the independent route ? If we go, the two year transition period will be brutal. It will take good coaching to convince players and fans to stay loyal while playing for nothing but pr...

Re: Guys in the Portal
They lost 59-0 against Michigan last year. 6-7 record. Tennessee this year shouldn’t be as bad…maybe we can match that score against PSU. UMass, JMU, Sacred Heart…flashback to Delaware’s old schedule might make him feel more at home. Wish him well, but not exactly a big upgrade. UConn is a program ...

Re: Game times announced
what a $hit schedule! I seriously hope there are serious discussions behind the scenes to fix the mess... This is a standard CAA/FCS schedule. Having games later in the day early in the season helps attendance. How would you propose UD "fix" the schedule? Not to speak for him, but I think...

Re: Student Tailgating
I agree that it's unrealistic for students to show up in force this season. But I don't know why we should think they *never* will. They don't show up because the University doesn't foster the necessary culture (including tailgating). That can change. My other alma mater, Wake Forest--the smallest ...

Re: Guys in the Portal
Sorry if this has been on a different post, but while looking at a friend of my son's going to UConn, I happened to notice that Will Knight has committed to UConn football.
