Re: Blue Hens will not be included in new EA Sports video game

Yeah, bummer for this one. Hopefully just one of the last hits from dragging our feet for so long deciding to move up.

Re: UMass to the MAC

Money. Although CUSA (and the G5) aren’t on the level of the Big Boys, it will be interesting to see how we will match up with the spending that will be necessary to compete at the FBS level. Liberty probably has deep pockets…maybe a couple others…will we try to match their spending? Nick Saban, in...

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN

Why would Rutgers or Maryland come here? Are Colorado & Wake Forest coming to UD? IMO UD should not be playing Colorado & Wake Forest in the same season. Please, no more than one game against a Power 5 conference opponent per season. Not all Power 5 conference teams are created equal. This ...

Re: National Champions

Is UD now considered a cheerleading & dance school? Congrats to all! If you want confusing, just try to figure out the different classifications and categories that make up these competitions. With that said, they do group a lot by the football classifications, so it will be interesting to see ...

Re: FBS attendance requirements and other interesting stuff

I hope they have bottomed out, but I have a feeling that if ticket and parking prices jump, and we take a beating for a few years once we start Conf. USA, we may not see the bottom yet. I definitely will miss the playoffs, and some of the away game travel! The email today did say that season ticket...

Re: Del State Schedule update

I'd just throw it out here, colleges aren't obligated to have sports at the varsity/inter-collegiate area. If DSU isn't really able to support a viable football program, there really is no reason why they should continue to do so. Clearly there are many universities, extremely good ones, that don't ...

Re: 2024 Schedule

Was talking to a Notre Dame fan yesterday. The thought is one of those open dates (probably Nov. 23) is going to be vs. Army at Yankee Stadium. However, Army has 14 schools listed as potential 2024 games on this normally reliable site, not including the Irish. https://fbschedules.com/ncaa/army/ Arm...

Re: Uniform question?

I'm old-fashioned, I'm all for keeping the helmet we have. I have no problem with the one-off, alternate uniform options, even ones that don't incorporate a winged helmet, but I want us to keep our traditional helmet. I'm not bothered by the Michigan connection - we all know they borrowed the design...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

FSU is suing the ACC over the grant of rights. Could be the prelude to a breakup of the ACC and another East Coast football realignment. Yep, if it comes out favorable for FSU expect to see an exodus from the ACC. Would be interested to see the domino effect. Cluck - remember who the chair of the p...

Re: Hens 23-24 OffSeason

I doubt UD tries to do what SHSU did and just redshirt everyone. Kids come here wanting to play, get and education, and graduate. Conference championships are nice, but as JMU has shown, that's not really the biggest focus anymore in the modern college football world. Just go out and play, win as ma...

Re: FCS Saturday

They probably would have had two if Grownowski was not injured early in the first quarter of the 2020 Championship game. Very true. Of course, many teams MIGHT have won or at least challenged more favorably for trophies had it not been for injuries to critical players at key times in the season. Gr...

Re: Will the game day experience go FBS too?

One question I have, and I know next to nothing about marching band, instruments, etc. But why when the band does actually play during the game does it have to be piped in over the speakers? Aren’t they loud enough just to be heard throughout the stadium without needing to be piped in? Go to any FB...

Re: OT: NDSU HC to USC

I don't think he's been terribly liked at NDSU. Word you hear on the other message boards is that there's been a sense of disappointment in him since they aren't automatically winning national titles like they have in the past. Maybe a victim of past track records and too-high expectations.
