Man o man. A warm comfy chair and big screen sure brings out the whinny side in some of you. Ugly wins are wins. Period. And is was as miserable to sit in that weather as I’m sure it was to play it n.

On to Hampton as the only CAA team with ZERO FCS losses.

Speaking of dumb, the email the university sent on the football game had multiple typos and missing words.

Just a joke - but nobody in charge seems to care.

Yarns came in on the 4th & 3 near the end of the 3rd quarter. He ran a pass route & you could tell he wasn't 100 per cent. Seemed to favoring his right leg when he came off the field. One of the coaches spoke to him & you could tell that the coach was telling him he was done for the day. Hopefully, it's nothing serious.

They sky isn’t falling but the rain sure was! Cartys offense is that pass opens up the run but throwing the ball, especially downfield, wasn’t an option for a big chunk of the game.

Yes we had at least two scores and a FG that normally would be on the board.

We just need to take the win and move on.
Proud to be a F*king Blue Hen :D

Ok gotcha. I didn't see that and Kevin Tresolini article said he didn't play in second half. Fingers crossed

This.

Not sure why some are complaining about O’Connor’s performance. May want to check the Nova/Elon passing stats as well. Carty post game said this one was the worst weather wise all year.

Lots to clean up and we have the next two to figure it out. But 5-1 right now still feels good.

Crappy weather, crappy opponent, why/who would go watch this crap football in person?? Why would you waste 3+ hours of your day on this??

😜
I did!

And, I enjoyed myself with my Buds. None of which are ankle biting gnats.

Still drying out. Go Hens!

Hunter doing ok it appears

Hope that means he is not in the hospital. The stadium was silent as they tended to him. And there were enough there to make noise.

Love ya’, Udf1…but that is an interesting comparison.

nova only threw 10 times. They ran 63 times. If it is the worst weather…why are we throwing 21 times?

Not O’Conner’s fault…but WTH was Carty thinking?
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
