Re: UD to CUSA

Overall, this is a better hoops conference. Bigger stadiums, better teams, more excitement in general for C-USA hoops vs. CAA (although, nobody is going to be losing their minds to watch UD vs. Kennesaw State). Yes, the A-10 would have been awesome from a basketball standpoint. But recruits are goin...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

This is a good thing. I know many here are going to be resistant to change. Some will worry we’ll end up like UMass or UConn (we won’t as long as we stick with a conference). And some of you will miss the opportunity to compete for a championship. All valid concerns. To those that will miss the FCS ...

Re: Game Thread: Lafayette

So, I guess the calls for Carty’s head will wait another week? :lol: Indeed they can. Lol. A lot of Delaware fans remind me of Dallas Cowboy fans. One real FCS championship, and five D2 titles. Yet, for some reason we act like there was a dynasty at some point and we should be winning titles year a...

Re: Game Thread: Lafayette

Man! This was toooooo good. Delaware has been struggling with banged up and backup QB’s down the stretch this season. Are they perfect? No. Are they a top 10 team even? Probably not. But they are definitely better when they have their top guy(s) available. For those on this board that expect greatne...

Re: Game Thread: Lafayette

It’s not pretty but it’s a third string QB. I really don’t know what you guys expect

Re: Game Thread: Villanova

Very tall ask for a third stringer to pull this one out. This just freaking stinks man. All the excitement and opportunity right in front of us and injuries take it away. Yes. I realize they aren’t playing well and we probably aren’t as good as our record says. Doesn’t make the QB situation suck any...

A healthy QB would be fantastic right about now. Bad luck for the Hens

Tiebreakers?

Not counting any chickens here because obviously the Hens have a huge challenge in front of them. But I’m curious if anyone knows what the tiebreaking scenarios would be next week? Best case: Hens win, Richmond and Albany lose and we’re outright champs. Worst case: Hens lose What happens if the Hens...

Re: Game Thread: Elon

Here we go again! One loss and the sky is falling on GoHens.net. We all know we aren’t a top 10 team in the FCS. Top 20? I think so. The expectation for this team is and should have always been to make the playoffs and win a game. That’s probably the ceiling. Anything beyond that is gravy. Obviously...

Re: Other Games 9/30

Any given Saturday… agree that we’re lucky we had a bye. A weekend of upsets. The Hens should look at this weekend and come away with a renewed focus. Many of us were already looking ahead to Elon, 5 games away. We’ve got 4 teams that would like nothing more than to knock off a ranked team in UD. An...

Re: October 2023

This schedule is truly awful. As it stands UD will have played just two ranked teams by the end of the season.

It’s crazy how badly the CAA has fallen off in such a short time. Wasn’t it just a few years ago they were putting 5-6 teams in the playoff?

Re: Guys in the Portal

Is there anything new here? I don't see a commitment. Says UD is still an option. Plack being in the portal is new. He just announced it in the last hour. So were all these guys out before the Rocco announcement or is this because they have little faith in the process to find someone even better …....

Re: Guys in the Portal

Oh man. One big name and key contributor after another. Yes, many are leaving Delaware on the table as an option... But what are the chances they actually stay? I am really nervous about what another losing season could do to this program. And YES for those of you who will say it, I know the portal ...
