A new era for UD sports deserves a new era of thinking. Modernize everything, while keeping traditions in mind.

Re: The Odds: Sam Houston State
I almost feel like odds are irrelevant to some degree in this conference. It’s anyone’s game on any given Saturday.
While I expect two more wins, I am also realistic that two more is not a walk in the park. SHU’s record is obviously not good but they have played a few teams tough. Same with UTEP.
Dang this is exciting from week to week!

Any Given Saturday, as you say, but…Sammy is awful. A-W-F-U-L.
24-41 L
21-38 L
20-37 L
0-55 L
10-37 L
27-29 L
17-35 L
14-55 L
21-17 W (Sammy had 157 total yards Saturday…to OSU’s 474. AGS)
Aside from the Sammy Pounds Beavers miracle (without the pounding part), only the Jax Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde State game was within 3 scores.
Time to go down to Huntsville and skin some Bobcats.
Bowlin', bowlin', bowlin', keep them Blue Hens movin'...

Re: The Odds: Sam Houston State
Hawaii and UNLV were not complete blowouts and both teams are bowl bound. But losing to Jax State by two cannot be ignored. LA Tech throttled them but LAT was at home.Cluck U wrote: ↑Sun Nov 09, 2025 9:30 pmCaldwell Chicken wrote: ↑Sun Nov 09, 2025 7:50 pm

Yes, they are bad. Not arguing that. But this isn’t Hampton, Bryant or A&T bad where a win is darn near automatic.
Re: The Odds: Sam Houston State
Cluck, please don’t go down to Huntsville as you’ll be all by yourself! The game is being played 70 miles away in Houston while Sammy renovates their stadium!Cluck U wrote: ↑Sun Nov 09, 2025 9:30 pmCaldwell Chicken wrote: ↑Sun Nov 09, 2025 7:50 pm

Nice and reasonable summary Caldwell. CUSA has shown us anything can happen and to expect the unexpectedCaldwell Chicken wrote: ↑Sun Nov 09, 2025 7:50 pm I almost feel like odds are irrelevant to some degree in this conference. It’s anyone’s game on any given Saturday.

For what it’s worth, and I don’t agree with Massey on this but
Massey is predicting Sam Houston to defeat Delaware 30-28
Road games are tough
recruiting recruiting recruiting...It ain't rocket science....We need better more athletic players...That simple....

Re: The Odds: Sam Houston State
CH...Massey must be factoring in our road record this year and road performance. I do not know enough about Massey but that could be a factor. Curious how many times Massey has been correct just calling the wins and losses for UD...not even considering the point spread.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Mon Nov 10, 2025 6:55 amNice and reasonable summary Caldwell.

Spot on...road games are tough. First time on natural grass this year and calling for scattered thunderstorms in Houston. But that forecast could change.
Re: The Odds: Sam Houston State
Odds aside this will be a tough matchup. Both teams coming off high emotional wins.
Re: The Odds: Sam Houston State
This is like a road game also for SHU but 70 miles in Texas to them is nada.
