Re: Stony Brook

Since no one has mentioned this so far, I'll go first. MI did a nice job of coaching last night against a much bigger and stronger physical opponent. Just saying. This. Stony was like 9-8 or 8-9 coming into this they aren’t that great. Our lack of big man inside is going to kill us on the boards ag...

Re: Hampton

A question: Of the 6 transfers who joined the team this year, who else besides Houser will have more than this year of eligibility?

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

They are moving to a true playoff next season with 12 teams. And one of those spots will be reserved for a G5 team. These two things are not the same: Power 4 and G5. Not sure I'm following...you made a comment that the P5 should go to a playoff format like the FCS??? And they are next season with ...

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

So, our Hens will be playing in CUSA with the goal of getting into a bowl game. Let’s be thankful that several of the CUSA bowl games are in warm climates with fun destinations…the game will not count for anything, so one might as well enjoy a nice football based vacation with fellow Hens fans in t...

Show me the money

So, now that the Hens are going FBS, have the "deep pockets" who were sitting on the sideline now pledging big bucks toward the north end zone project? Just wondering.

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

While I don't think CR was naive about the move to CUSA, it seems it was the only available option and that is because UD waited too long to commit to moving up. Not CR's fault. And I also believe that this ride might not go as smoothly as we would hope. Will our experience be more like JMU's succe...

Re: WBB

Loses to 2-8 Del State today, whose losses include a 65-33 loss to Drexel, 86-41 to Stony Brook, and four other 50 point losses. Embarrassing. [/quote They are almost unwatchable. The turnovers are killing them every game and yet the coach seems to have no answer for that. She keeps running the sam...

Re: Transfer policy

A judge ruled in favor of waiver elimination opening a 14 day window where players who already transferred once can now receive immediate eligibility on 2nd or more transfers. Another hearing takes place in 2 weeks but for now the gates have been thrown open. Rhode Island’s F David Green, 6’7 230 w...

Will the game day experience go FBS too?

As UD enters the promised land of FBS, will the band follow suit and entertain the crowd throughout the game to reduce the need to pipe in "noise"? Or do all FBS bands take the third quarter off? Asking for a friend.

Re: I’m awake - UD to CUSA

https://twitter.com/Brett_McMurphy/status/1732157792365228048 Mid week games will continue for the next four years. Fine. October nights are warmer than November (MAC). If there are four of them, two are home, two are away. That will keep four Saturdays available for other activities (kids, grandki...

Re: Xavier

Great performance by the Hens on national TV and with a crowd of over 10K cheering against them. The sad part is that drawing a crowd of 2K at home will be considered to be good. I feel sorry for the players that there is not more support for them at home. It's time for folks to get off their couche...
