Re: Senior Hens: Brose, Duplessis and Reed

What a mess! I hope Fintan had a chance to contribute.

Re: Merrimack Game Day

Our GoHens schedule page has Merrimack on 9/3 and Coastal on 9/19. UD official site has them flip-flopped. Not sure which is correct, but I would assume Bluehens.com may be in error? https://bluehens.com/sports/2023/12/19/delaware-football-future-opponents Go to Bluehens.com More Additional Links Fu...

Re: Player Commitments

Another aspect that sometimes goes unnoticed is that Carty and the staff are pretty particular about the caliber of individual they recruit and bring onto the team. Character is not just a byword - it’s a requirement. As an example, 17 of the 19 high school student athletes signed on early signing d...

Re: About the Ventures Bowl payout?

TS, If I’m not mistaken, the plus for us is the number of teams we get into a Bowl game - the more Bowl games, the more $$ to be spread around - is that correct? If so, then seven Bowl games this year is certainly a big plus. And what happens if schools are leaving the inference, like UTEP and, poss...

Re: CUSA Football general news, info, Etc....

IMO, what will ultimately hurt all of the G-5 (6) conferences is the recent performance of JMU and Tulane in the CFP (FBS Playoffs). It will be more fodder for the Power4 conferences to justify separating themselves from the G-5 (6) so they don’t have to share TV revenues, which have been significan...

Half their OL and Most of their Secondary (plus others) "Opted Out" and did not even play.
ts - Half their OL? What kind of offense were they playing?!😁

Re: Coaching Changes

The sign of a good head coach is identifying and hiring good assistant coaches and developing them, or allowing them to develop, to the point that they are sought after for loftier positions. KC did a great job of that while here (Flood, Cohen, Ciarrocca, et al). RC is still relatively new as a head...

BI (not FBI) for 68Ventures Bowl

Since my media pass for the Bowl game did not allow access to the field, my notes and observations will only be BI (Press B ox[/b], and I nterviews ). Historically, I spend Pre-game and 1st Quarter on the field and then go to the press box for the rest of the game. For this game, all my game observa...

Re: Bowl Pre-game

If the band looks smaller than usual, that’s because the Bowl reimburses schools for 150 members, we’ll normally have 300 on the field at home games.

Re: Delaware AD

I just thought I’d throw in my two cents on this topic. It’s possible that I may have spent more time speaking with Jordan than many on this board, although there certainly are some who know him better than I do. He and I had that long 1 & 3/4 hour conversation for the 3-part interview I posted ...
