Re: Poll: Do national hopes improve with Saturday loss?
Agree with everyone else, the poll question is flawed. A 9-2 UD team, following a win over nova, won't be an 8 seed. Unless something weird happens, likely to be a 5 or 6 seed. Earliest we'd see SDSU would be the semifinals.

Re: FCS - Polls
When you think about the 2003 final season game at Villanova what are some of the thing that come to mind? I just remember that Andy Hall gutted it out. Tough game, UD didn't have much to play for other than seeding, and I think nova was fighting for their playoff lives (which didn't work out for t...

Re: Next opponent: Campbell
Actually the draught did start in 2006. It was not unusual for one side to win several in a row then reverse the situation. After UD wins in 03,04 & 05 Villanova took over the rivalry game and never gave it back except for 2 exceptions. Tubby did not have a losing record against the Wildcats, T...

Re: FCS - Polls
There’s that strength of schedule thing again. The CAA Commissioner needs to let the pollsters know the CAA is the best conference from top to bottom.Basically, the CAA’s bottom is much better than any others’ bottom. I’m sure he can convince them. Umm, No. Not even close. Born Power Ratings for bo...

Re: Remaining Eligibility
Good news about the OL. Even though we have an exceptional group of wide receivers my most pleasant surprise this season is the maturation of the offensive big guys. . I doubt anyone on here thought without a few new faces that they would perform so well. The current WRs are a good group but yardag...

Re: Delaware to Conference USA?
I was talking about the NCAA sticking to its guns. They may back down from the Michigans and North Carolina’s of the world but they’re not going to lose any sleep over a UD. And yet they backed down to Liberty. When they get pushed on things that aren't really defensible, they back down (and yes, t...

Re: Delaware to Conference USA?
I frankly doubt that if it came to it, the NCAA would be willing to engage in protracted litigation over denying Delaware a waiver to go FBS independent. The NCAA is weaker than it has ever been. Another court ruling against one of its regulations would further expose the NCAA for what it is (a car...

Re: Coach Carty's Play Calling
My hope is that 30 years from now we're screaming at Carty to "turn the screen," with the same loving fondness that people once reserved for Tubby at the tail end of his career. I love how he has recruited the speed needed to run the offense he has in common. I agree with his theory on &q...

Re: Delaware to Conference USA?
It's all being worked on (a move) and it will take care of itself. Enjoy the moment we are in. Agreed. You guys could go out national champs in FCS and wake up in FBS next season. Jealous. As good as we are, I think there's a gap between all of FCS and SDSU. You could make an argument that we're th...

Crash and burn. Ranks up with there with some of the most bitter Philly defeats. And we've had plenty of them. As I told the kids, it's just part of a being a Philly sports fan.
Re: Marker
Montana St and South Dakota St are on another level. To me, it’s them, and then the rest of the FCS. They played earlier this year and it wouldn’t shock me one bit to see a rematch in Frisco. From my limited viewing of FCS games in '23, I don't see Delaware competing with SDSU, Montana St., Idaho, ...

Re: Sun Belt East
Ok bbk. I am going to cut through the nonsense including the definition of “back sliding”. I made a prediction that UD will be in FBS by the 2025 season. I don’t need any qualifiers to make that prediction. What do you think? Also, since I can’t resist, who said the magic number for Sun Belt member...

Re: Sun Belt East
My conspiracy theory take on what is happening is that we are moving and the media components of the program, Kevin T. and Scott K. are basically telling the fans who aren't on board yet to do so coz it's happening. UD is usually very buttoned up, very conscious of what is being said within their o...

It would be 14-16 if we had just let those teams win when they played us.UD '01 grad wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 2:47 pm https://herosports.com/fcs-football-202 ... umes-bzbz/
As shared in other thread, record of vanquished 2023 foes sits at 9-21.
In Hens' favor, only 5 current Top-10 teams have a win over a now-ranked opponent.
