I believe Franklin wants a 70-7 finish here. I know people on the board will jump on me, but this is a game that should never have happened. I understand it can be a selling point to recruits and transfers, but I'm not so sure a blow-out will be a great selling point. Want to schedule a FBS team- stay away from P5 teams or at least the top tier teams in those conferences. Look what Rutgers did to us. Stick with FBS teams we can compete with on the field. I can't wait for this game to be over. Hopefully no injuries. There will be few positives coming out of this game. Franklin finishes it 70-7 he is a p**ck.

Why aren’t we using a spy on Pribula? Or sending the house almost every play or at least on first n second down

$400K would be less than DelState received for recent slaughters at Michigan and Florida State (both over $500K if memory serves).

Army up 36-0 in late 3Q over Hornets.

Couldn't agree more. Before the game everyone knew we didn't belong on the same field. Now all doubt is gone and we proved we don't play the same sport. Why anyone looks to be embarrassed and play the fool is beyond me.

Anybody in UD athletics who advocated for this game should be stripped to their skivvies onstage at the next convocation so they know how public humiliation feels.

The D players have to be dragging. They get no help from the O and have been out there all day. Can you imagine playing your guts out only to have the other team sub in third stringers as good or better than you. Take the 400 k and put it to good use.

I just can't understand how this helps recruiting. I can imagine the conversation when the players go home and walk into their local watering hole.

Well, so much for being on their side of the field.
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
