Re: Game Thread: Montana

Kudos to the guys who shoveled over halftime. Field is much better from a viewing standpoint. First time I saw numbers at the yardlines all game.

Re: Game Thread: Montana

We're not going to win this thing, but I'd like to see some more of the guts this team showed last week in the win against Lafayette and what we've seen late in the second quarter here. Losing happens, and Montana's the better team, but showing some of that toughness out there and not throwing in th...

Right! I’m so lost I thought the pass to Lutz was a TD.
I'm not sure they can see any better than we can. It lightened up there later in the first quarter, but it's really coming down now.

Re: Game Thread: Montana

Nice throw and catch there for the TD - other than Harvin shortarming that other play, he's played well. Good guts by O'Connnell.

Re: Game Thread: Montana

Well gents it was a decent enough season but clearly a lot of work needs to happen before we go to FBS if we want to be even half **** competitive. Starting with Carty relinquishing OC control?.... Lots of needs. OC, DC, Special teams coaches. Upgrades on OL, DL, safety. We bring back a lot of play...

Re: The end and a beginning

Yup, it's a little sad that we won't have all the nostalgia of playoffs to look back on. But then again, they're far different now than they were back in the day so even that is different. I doubt we'll see much change past the 12 team model that FBS is moving to next year. No one here has ever like...

Re: Attendance & Crowd at the Tub

The wonderful people, and many I know very well, were also super financially tight and super set in their ways. Unfortunately this board is not a microcosm of the local community. The news of the anticipated USA move and new construction will not move a great deal of locals away from the high schoo...

Re: Attendance & Crowd at the Tub

Scarlett left UD and moved on to Penn and has been at George Washington in the same capacity for the last dozen years I understand. I know of plenty of friends she sent packing from their season tickets but in reality many of our peers already had the same type of programs in place. How many FBS sc...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

Very surprised to read that CUSA doesn’t sponsors so many of the sports that UD fields. As a former athlete who played in a non revenue sport, I truly hope we can find a home for all these student athletes. "So many"? It looks like 7 to me - field hockey, both men's and women's lacrosse, ...

Re: Attendance & Crowd at the Tub

I grew up in those east stands at Delaware Stadium, we lived next door in brookside to Dr. Rylander and his wife, he gave my dad some tickets to a game when I was 8 in 1974 and I was hooked. Something me and my dad shared for all this time until he passed in 2022, following from afar, me in East Te...

Re: Onto Montana

It was already going to take a Herculean effort to stay in this game. True. I still have hope that they'll play hard though. Crazy things have happened! It's not quite the same circumstances but the 1993 season we went out there, we barely got in as the #15 seed and Montana riding high as the #2 se...

Re: Attendance & Crowd at the Tub

Playoff attendance, especially during the Turkey Day holiday, is always low. The only good crowd I can remember was the one for the first Delaware/Delaware State matchup. That stadium was PACKED. It was packed, and yet attendance that day was announced as 19k or so. No way there were almost 4k empt...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

I’m excited! Sure, I would love that ideal eastern conference but that’s not happening. And maybe the national exposure will help overall, So, no more trips to Kingston but I’d be happy to go to UCONN. My last trip there for football was Eddie Conti day! Go Fightin’ Blue Hens! Sally in RI I was the...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

If true, this has ended my affiliation with the UD football program in all ways, except as a “long distance” fan. UD - please remove me from all your emails; I no longer have any desire to attend BHTC and support something I do not believe in; won’t need season tickets (I believe in spite of the se...
