Re: Drexel

I hate to start pounding the coach again after pounding Ross and Henderson a lot, but I am getting to that point. Something is just not gelling. The team doesn't seem to play hard enough to play good D. Someone earlier mentioned Riley's lack of scoring, but I can't recall him having an open look al...

Re: Stadium Expansion & New Football Facility

So how many seats does Delaware Stadium need moving into the FBS era? I would like to see a Pavilion like NEZ that would give new fans and students a good reason not to take the easy way out of attending games.

Would probably have to get a huge chunk of federals funds /grants as UD and the state would not likely would fund this on their own for a nice to have rather than a necessity. Newark got federal funds for the pedestrian/bike bridge over White Clay Creek on Paper Mill ...

Speaking of schedules and other things related to UD football, The Stone Balloon Ale House on Main Street has closed its doors. :cry: Frankly, I thought that for a while they had a pretty decent upscale pub menu and some fun, creative food/drink specials. It was a great atmosphere...they had the na...

Re: Future JMU Series

JMU on the schedule is obviously a good thing …until they beat us up a few times. Cap’n obvious statement of the day is Delaware needs to get so much better to have a chance to win these JMU games. JMU is no FIU, UTEP or La Tech, CUSA teams Delaware could beat today. Delaware can certainly be good e...
