Re: News Journal Article Today 03/20/24
There is no doubt that UD is going to run into alot of no huddle offenses. If we had a 6'3", 235 LB who had good speed, but could put his hand in the dirt, similar to Colby Reeder used to do, we wouldn't have to worry about matching personel with the no Huddle, especially when it's a run down a...

Re: News Journal Article Today 03/20/24
It would be nice if Manny Rojas could develop a MLB type, that could jump down and play DE, and pop up to MLB position. Would give him alot flexibility and create problems for opponents OL.

Re: Stadium Expansion & New Football Facility
Regarding Scot Swift, I played 1971 - 1974, and I do not remember him. He possibly played of Frosh team in 1971!

Re: Hens at UVA 2026
I like playing a Big Boy each season, but they will always be away. Would like to see some Non Conf home & away like JMU! Temple, CC, App St., Old Dominion, Marshall, etc. They would be competitive, renew some old rivalry emotions, close proximity would allow travel to away games, and would us a...

Re: Hens at UVA 2026
Need to try to schedule some home & away games with these opponents, especially with the conference games being so far away!

Re: Fun Football Trivia
HenJohn, I cheated, but in 1971 UD hosted Villanova (W 23-15) and Temple (L 27-32). Also in 1973, we hosted UConn (W35-7) and Temple (L8-31). That same year we played away Rutgers (L7-24) and Villanova (L7-24). So the 1973 Team played four Div. 1 schools.

Re: Future JMU Series
UD has to prove that they belong at this level, before that fantasy can come true! It would be nice to see UD move to the Sunbelt conference one day! They have 7 members in the east division and 7 in the west. If only they could find a west member to even each division at 8 each. Would be nice to re...

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!

Re: 2024 Schedule
I hope the administration is smart about how much they increase tickets & parking, especially with UD probably going to take their lumps early on in this move up! Would hate to see an exodus of fans due to cost increase. Especially the die hard fans who are on fixed incomes, that have been follo...

Re: Uniform question?
That helmet design & colors are a part of the UD Tradition. To see that helmet, automatically equates to the name Fightin Blue Hens! We must never take that part of our tradition away!
Re: Carty?
Our offense needs a better Run/ Pass balance to keep Defenses off balance. I think DiMuzio would be a great hire for OC. I feel we are in good position in our skill positions. Where we are lacking is on the OL & DL. We need some OL lineman with size, speed, and that nasty attitude to control tha...

Re: Board of Trustees meeting-12/5
I still beleive that it is a knee jerk reaction. They should have waited to try to get invitation to the Sun Belt conference, which has alot of our previous opponents, and rivalries would be restarted! Travel costs would be less, fans would be able to travel to away games, and it would be less stres...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA
I think this is a big mistake by Chrissi & UD! We cannot even beat Villanova or any of the Dakotas, and we are going to move up, only to get shellacked! Im all for moving up, but we need to consistently show we can win at the FCS level. The past 2 years is a great start, but we still don't have ...

Very surprised that Marcus Yarns did not make first team. Also surprised that Youngblood did not get anything!

Re: Embarrassed and distraught
Watching the game, there was a definite difference in the passion Villanova played with in the pits! Our Ol just doesn't have that nasty attitude. Extremely dissappointed in there play. Definitely could use some help for next year in the portal, even though they all are back except Thomas! Defensive...
