2024 Schedule

[Info Hound]

I assume we will hear soon.

We know Towson and Norfolk St. at home. Villanova and DSU away. Also, a UR fan reports we play them away.
I heard also of an OOC vs. Bryant, prior to their being added to the CAA.
Any other insights?

Would love to have at least one FBS on the schedule, but that may be difficult at this point with all the pending upcoming changes. Maybe UMass or UConn need a game? Or any of our future CUSA opponents?

No insight but at least give me one last year of some FCS playoff eligibility with this schedule please

We all know that is not in the picture. We can still have a fun year.

As long as the weather holds out on 2024 Fall weekends, we should be OK. Tailgates should be marked with grave stones as we bury the CAA.

And we'll be singing:

Bye, bye won't miss those CAA guys
Drove my chevy to the Tubby just to say our goodbyes
And good ol' boys will be drinking whiskey and rye
Singing: we got out just as the CAA died


We will play our last CAA schedule...wonder if the conference gurus will put us on a CAA "best hits" reunion tour featuring W&M, Richmond, nova, UNH, Rhody, Towson and Maine? But, that's only 7. Maybe bring Hofstra or Northeastern's flag football teams back for a "goodbye" CAA game that counts on our schedule...after all, I have it on good authority that wins will, uh, sort of pack the stadium.

As far as our OOC schedule goes, maybe we can squeeze in Morgan State to complete the MEAC OOC trifecta.

Or, maybe we can schedule Jackson State so that we can see what a Prime coached team looks like in preparation for our 2025 showdown. Oh wait...never mind...he took that team with him.

Whatever the schedule, it will be fun to see how Carty balances the roster for the different games.

Good stuff

Lots of potential for a verse for every CAA team here Cluck

No insights but would we also have Campbell at home and NC&T and UNH away to complete the home and home with them? I would also like to see W&M at home one last time. If this is a 12 game season we would need 3 more. How about Maine, Albany and either a Patriot or Ivy.

Quick correction…UNH was home this year. If we complete a home and away it would be away this fall.

Since our CAA games don’t count in the CAA standings, I assume we will be a OOC game for whoever we play, and whoever we play will still have a full slate of 8 CAA games.

I can’t see Joey D agreeing to some CAA teams playing 8 conference games and the teams that play Delaware only having 7 games counted in the standings; that’s chaos.

Has OOC schedule opening;
Albany
Bryant
Campbell
Elon
Hampton
Maine
North Carolina A&T
Stony Brook
Villanova

Does not have OOC schedule opening;
Monmouth
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Richmond
William & Mary
Towson

According to Joey D's statement on 11/28: "Games involving Delaware will count in the CAA Football Conference Standing".

I believe that we can win the conference championship, but (of course) cannot participate in the NCAA playoffs.

Our athletes and coaches can still receive weekly and post season awards.

Let's just beat them all next season, and go 8-0.

Fixed. Thanks.

With the number of teams in this league, I don't think that home and away scheduling is a factor. We are more likely, in my view, of getting a random team being added to the schedule. For example, rather than a "return" game to UNH, we'll get a home or away with Monmouth or Maine, for a last time.

We should know soon, I would hope.

Whatever it is, we won't see most of these teams again, which I am glad for.

Last year the CAA schedule was announced on January 10th so we shouldn't be holding our breath for too much longer.
Personally I don't care who we play as long as we go out kicking butt. JMU won the conference championship 5 of their last 7 seasons and how many people this week reminded us at Christmas parties how Villanova again had their way as usual. If we want real interest from those who are not in our blue hen bubble then we have to flex our muscle at the Tub while proving the move naysayers wrong.

Zero people I met at parties, bars etc … talked about Villanova beating the Hens again. But many people, some who aren’t even really football fans talked about CUSA and “moving up”.

Win as many games as possible this year then say good bye to the CAA and FCS.

You live in Delaware , I assume . I live in Pa and not under the blue hen bubble that apparently blocks out quite a bit of logic. Maybe they watched the Nova & Montana games on TV and saw how we stumbled. Maybe your group was at the bowling alley then ? I'm on your side and pleased to see the move .
