Versus the College at Colonial Disneyland. The Soupers got within 10 of Thee Griffins with a TD in garbage time. So far the Humps haven't been as scary as Mr. Volunteer would have us believe.

And it's not as if W&M has been crazy impressive so far either. They haven't blown out anyone yet and they haven't played anyone of note yet (Wofford and Charleston Southern). Campbell keeping it close in garbage time versus W&M and then adding wins against Citadel and Monmouth hasn't really showed us much of anything so far. They might be decent, but there's not any evidence yet to prove that.

gotta respond to several comments about the Campbell Camels. I posted "they have arrived as a challenge at the FCS level" plus some info why I think they are becoming competitive. I don't get the reference to them being SUPERPOWER etc.
JMHO and we'll see how it plays out.
I hope we'll get the camels to lie down but there is no way they will get dehydrated :roll: :lol: :wink:

Fair enough and well done, Mr. Vol Hen.

Agree that the Humps seem to be doing the things it will take to compete in the Coastal. Pay no mind to me. The association with most of these newer league entrants is a tough pill to swallow. Just serves as a bitter reminder of how far the school has let Blue Hen football slip. Magnanimity about our former associates may come easier once the Fightin' Blues shuffle the CAA coil.

Prediction: The humps will leave the CAA in about 2 years for FBS leaving UD behind in the dust.

It still drives me nuts that the uniform report includes the helmet.
