Delaware vs Lafayette - How Stella Brock Got Her Groove Back

[superman7515]

Just wanted to say thank you in advance to the Patriot League slump busters. We got shot down pretty hard by the girl from Florida, and we're taking a road trip to see my buddy's hot friend Carolina next week, I hear she can be kind of a prude, but we always know we can call up one of the Patsy's when it's last call and we just need to bust one.

Delaware 49 - Lafayette 7

[Gangtackle11]

Next week you will be @ Villanova high noon on Parent's Weekend not Carolina. I'll buy ya a pretzel.

[BucBisonAtLarge]

Kinda climbing out on a limb there... carry on. I visit this site for entertainment purposes.

[Mattymc727]

49 from a team that put up 14 against Jacksonville?

I like your style....

Not a great idea to pick in anger at your own team. FWIW. New Hampshire fans might remember last season.

[Gater]

Last season? If you are referring to Lafayette at UNH, it's ongoing.

What are you talking about, that's the JV game, they're more than capable of handling our light work. Everyone on the two-deep is heading down to Chapel Hill a week early to brush up on their academics, some of the guys in African American studies are going to get some tutoring. Which just goes to show how important Delaware is, our JV comes into town for a warm-up game against your college and the Pope flies in to watch such a blessed event. We're like the Jesus Christ of ECB, we resurrected your football team just to have someone to play at the end of each season. You're welcome.

Pick in anger? I'm thrilled at what we were able to do for Jacksonville! They'll probably be able to raise tuition costs and fund a new science lab after all the publicity a win against the Blue Hens got them. At this point, Delaware is the only reason there is FCS football left on the East Coast. You get a win against Delaware, you call home and tell the Mrs. to put on the red panties. It's a celebration. Nine months from now, Kade Bell is going to have a little brother. Hell, they'll probably be able to get enough donors to go full scholarship and move to the SoCon. The worst UD football team in 126 years of football and a W against us was enough for them to start getting votes in the polls! I couldn't be happier for what we did for Jacksonville, it's what we've been doing the whole time.

Just look at Appalachian State, before 2007 no one had even heard of them, but they get into the 1AA National Championship Game and squeak out of Chattanooga with a W against the Blue Hens and suddenly they're big timers. I bet if you check the numbers, there is a massive difference in the popularity of AppState from 2006 to 2007, and that's a fact Jack. Now it's Lafayette's turn, and don't worry, this isn't DelState, we won't back out of the deal. We'll even leave the money on the bedside stand on our way out the door.

FIFY the only inaccurate statement in your response.

Hell no, they'll go to the SoCon to replace Georgia Southern. The Eagles were so tired of their futility against the Blue Hens in the playoffs that they packed their bags and jumped ship to an easier conference just to avoid us.

[bluehenbillk]

Superman - that is an awesome Ziady graphic at the bottom of your posts!!

I don't know if UD can score 49 points in the next 3 games combined.

In short UD is challenged on the offensive side of the ball - you can put it on 4 areas:

QB - Played 2 of them (Rankin & Walker). Rankin didn't do much at all & Walker, while very athletic, was a deer in the headlights. Supposedly we'll only play 1 this week.

OL- was supposed to be better than last year but wasn't so vs Jax. Plenty of blame to go around on this unit - we knew pass blocking was an issue but they didn't run block all that great either.

WR - They graduated Johnson who went to Eagles camp, TE Boyle made the Ravens, top returnee Harrison is in jail for assaulting our top CB who is out for the year & you have multiple guys that shouldn't be on the field thrown into starting roles. Cherry was the only competent guy out there last week (but don't talk about his punt returning efforts)

Coaching - to say we ran a high school offense against Jax would be insulting to HS coaches across the country - Pop Warner is more accurate. We called a petrified game plan - zero confidence in the 11 we ran out there apparently. It's a mess.

UD opened as a 5 point favorite? Get your popcorn ready.

[RichH2]

No University president right now, so no one to hold the AD accountable, if anyone has ever held an AD accountable at UD. Ziady and Brock are thick as thieves, so he's safe for probably another two seasons. The fans are voting with their wallets, but we'll see how it goes.

Of course it's going to be a Delaware win, but don't act all high and mighty Ram fan. The most special thing about Lafayette is that they have the honor of stepping on the field at Delaware Stadium, just like everyone else on the East Coast. You can trot out all the pre-World War 2 history you want, at the end of the day, if Delaware called, you'd take the game with no return or a 2-for-1 just like anyone else. Ya know why? Because we're the only heavyweight fight left over here. You can ring up New Hampshire and their thirteen straight 4th Place trophies look good on the mantle, but the 82 butts they put in the seats, including the team bus driver, won't make your team enough money for you to take the coach and his wife to Sizzler after the game. Your AD looks down at that caller ID and sees "Newark, Delaware" and he gets a partial chub because he knows that his program is about to experience a life changing moment that could reap rewards for decades.

Just look at what we did for Sacred Heart. Two years ago someone would have thought that was a cheap Blue Cross/Blue Shield knock-off insurance company, but they got to make the trip to Newark baby and we made them famous. The money started pouring in and all of a sudden they're building left and right.

Then they break ground on the Center For Healthcare Education on June 18 in an effort to study the long-term health effects to a human body after stepping onto Tubby Raymond Field.

All paid for with the increased tuition and sudden flood of college applicants that come with the notoriety of playing in Newark.

So sit back there on the remnants of Fordham Wall and cast aspersions at Lafayette, but you don't see the Green unless you play the Blue & Gold, so stop letting your jealousy cloud this otherwise sensible thread.

I didn't want Ursus to have to pay for extra bandwidth by going line by line through all the teams we've made, just wanted to remind that Ram that any time he's feeling a little big for his britches, they can go back to D3 and play someone a little more their size. I hear Rensselaer has an opening.

Careful what you wish for. In 1995, we announced we had an opening in 1999 and would be playing at The Citadel. Shannon Faulkner became so moist, she sued to get into the school.

Unfortunately, we're playing in North Carolina soon, which will probably take a bump out of your attendance. I'd say the attendance that week will be lower than the game before or after, my apologies.

Depends on how you come in. Assuming you're coming from the Valley, you can get off Exit 3 off 95 to 273 N and take 4 W to gate G, grass parking. Other option is take Exit 1B to 896 N to gate D, which leads to both paved and grass parking. HC parking is gate F from 4 (so take exit 3). Here's the parking map:

Set your GPS/phone/whatever for 57 Sanford Drive, Newark DE 19713. You'll be in Robscott Manor, directly across the street from the stadium, and it won't cost you $10 to park.

Pard, since I just saved you $10, I'm going to have to request you drive for LC. After years of riding the bus, he suddenly feels qualified to drive it, and the last thing we need is LC pulling a repeat of Rev. Lazor at Villanova and running over a bunch of Blue Hens players because he's too feeble to control the gas pedal and his bowels at the same time. Here's his ride, shouldn't be hard to find him.

Speaking of schools we put on the map, you should start working right now to build a YoUDee statue on campus. SHSU was all set to step back into the Stone Age era of 1990's Bearkat football until we decided to take mercy and allow you to replace that little Willie with the CAA's biggest dick... At least, according to Rob Ambrose. Every night when you go to bed, just remember:

Hail Keeler, full of grace,
Tubby is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst Ray Bans,
and blessed is the fruit of thy touchdowns, Victory.
Holy Camp, Father of Football,
Pray for time of possession,
And prevailing winds at kickoff.
Amen.

We gave that a try...

3-1 vs the Big Sky (and the 1 was thanks to a very questionable chain crew in a certain season finale, but hey, glad we could give the state of Washington something to be proud of for a while. How about we run the ball from the 2-yard line next time Carroll, the Mariners had Rodriguez, Griffey, Johnson, etc and the Royals have made more World Series appearances, heck the smartest people in Washington were the SuperSonics... They left.)

13-1 vs the Missouri Valley (and the 1 is on the wrong side of the Mississippi and the team was very cold because all of our sweater vests had mysteriously disappeared the night before.)

We got so bored, we decided to just stay home. Why play cupcakes 1000 miles away when Lafayette is right down the road, ya know?

[superman7515]

Could you use your obvious influence with UD to schedule a home and home with SHSU?

Hahaha. That's a good one. I wouldn't do that to you bud. Right now, Sam Houston State has a chance. They could be something special. But this isn't one of KC's Kupcakes, we're talking about the Mother Fightin' Blue Hens here pal. You think he really wants to walk out that tunnel and stand on the 50-yard line in front of the dozens of remaining season ticket holders and face down a team he himself called the LSU, the Georgia, the Florida of FCS football? And that was before the team was led by "The Legend Killer" Dave Brock Lesnar. Just look at what happened to Mickey Matthews, he was so emasculated, eviscerated, excoriated, and the fanbase infuriated that he was unable to return to coaching. This is a man that won national championships, but when Brock stepped on the field, he threw down his visor, turned tail, and ran back to Andrews, Texas. You think KC Keeler wants any part of that? You must have gotten too much sun the last time it was your turn to patrol the border.

Parking is simple, even as a guest. Most students walk to the game. I usually park across from the stadium for 10 bucks. Stadium is a true dump, as is most of the school and the town for that matter.

I'd like to ditto but my recollections are a little outdated, haven't been there since our last regular season game 42 years ago.

From my perch here outside of Easton, I heard some comments that all my not be well in Pardville. Beside the suspension of QB Reed (for reasons unknown), there was a reported fight (alcohol involved) among a number of football players (as opposed with another student or 'townie'). Not good when stuff happens among teammates. I would suspect Frank will take the right steps (he has always seemed to be a fair, but no nonsense guy), but even so, it does not sound good.

See, just one more example of how Delaware does it bigger and better than anyone else around... Lafayette suspends their QB? We don't even have a QB! Lafayette players get into an alcohol fueled fight? Delaware has a player take off his helmet and beat a teammate with it to the point he goes to prison and the teammate is lost for the year, no alcohol needed! Come on Leopards, I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but really, knock off the two-bit sideshow. You're supposed to be Leopards, not copycats.

Lafayette was without some key guys against the Tribe. I'm not sure how things are shaping up this week. Given the troubles at UD, this is a game where Lafayette needs to notch a CAA win. LC has their own hurdles but I don't think they're as large as UD's.

Pretty sure it depends on Newberry's strength of schedule. They have some very tough road games ahead against Carson-Newman and Catawba, so in some mathematical respects they might end up above Delaware in the Simple Ratings System if they come out ahead and upset Jacksonville.

Take it easy at the Chris Brown concert tonight, I know you think he's singing just to you and it gets you a little "AtLarge", but it's not healthy to keep sending him the letters you've been writing, you're starting to sound like "Stan" on Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP.

At least in Albuquerque you don't ever have to worry about LC visiting.

LaffyTaffy? Now I'm offended. There is no sweetness to be had in Sleazston. The PC police taking over the curriculum... Greek houses being confiscated for red solo cups on the ground and mentioning inviting 'females' to hosted events... football players being suspended for acting like college students. You are athletes, not students! WE ARE... LAUGHEYETTE! WE ARE...!!

Depends on how you come in. Assuming you're coming from the Valley, you can get off Exit 3 off 95 to 273 N and take 4 W to gate G, grass parking. Other option is take Exit 1B to 896 N to gate D, which leads to both paved and grass parking. HC parking is gate F from 4 (so take exit 3). Here's the parking map:

Nothing nervous about it my man, it will be nice to get that first W in over 10 months. Just hoping the weather holds, thunderstorms are in the forecast starting around 4 pm with a 90% chance at 6 pm, some possibly severe. You guys must have been talking to your Villanova friends and asking for prayers from the Pope to have this game cancelled. You're not getting out of it that easily Lepers.

... Frank suspends ten guys en route to the game for not wearing the proper tie.

Yeah the weather forecast was my deciding factor on not making the trip. ESPN3

sorry PR, that was in response to supe's post. Might it be cancelled?

Not getting anything about the game being cancelled or delayed as of this time, but they are planning for thunderstorms. The Richmond/Hampton game is about to go into a weather emergency alert themselves. Hopefully the game isn't moved to tomorrow. At least there isn't an Eagles home game this weekend.

Yeah I asked and it was not known. I recall the Pard win at William and Mary was delayed at half for quite some time due to weather. I wasn't there but watched on internet. Last time I was at UD was the fantastic 2004 playoff game.

Haha, it's hard to be semi-informative and not a total douche while still maintaining my heel streak here. There's a delicate balance. Much like the delicate situation the Lafayette football team now finds themselves. They're scared of this game. They know it. Delaware knows it. The fans know it. They've been doing rain dances, investing heavily in cloud seeding technology, and working hand-in-hand with the Chinese government in an attempt to learn some weather control tactics. They've pulled out all the stops in an attempt to get the game cancelled or at least slow down the Fightin' Blue Hens ground game, but to no avail. They're too close to get out of this game, they'll just end up coming back tomorrow, and while it won't be the ass-whipping they need, it will be the ass-whipping they deserve Lieutenant Gordon. We've done everything we can to get those cowards to come down to Newark; we refused to take a transfer quarterback, or any quarterback, with any modicum of football knowledge in the least; we had our star wide receiver arrested; we leaked the schedule of our star runningback to Frank Tavani so he could do his best Tonya Harding impression and disable him for the season with a leg injury; we're playing 10 freshmen... And still Lafayette's players and fans are shaking like a B-list actress trying to steady a spoonful of quaalude Jello at Bill Cosby's house. Well swallow now or swallow later Leopards, you're still going to wake up tomorrow with no idea what happened, a queasy feeling in your stomach, and no movie contract.

So after the lightning delays, we come back out for some more football, and I would be willing to make a very very large wager that there were probably 700 or fewer fans left in the entire stadium. I would like to give a special shout out to Frank Tavani for having security and the police called on the fans in our section because the cheering was upsetting to his players. After security talked to the first fan and he insisted that since he wasn't using foul language, threats, or throwing anything they either needed to arrest him or get out of his way because he wasn't going to stop cheering, security was put in a bit of a pickle. Officer Saville, who had stayed at the bottom of the steps, laughed and said he didn't even understand why Tavani had called him there and they weren't going to do anything, at which point they left and the fans went back to getting on Tavani's nerves.

So thanks Lafayette, that was a first for me, haha.

For real!!

Don't blame Tavani... it's not his fault he's a bad coach. You are simply telling him what the Lafayette administrators and fans are too indifferent to say. I applaud your hauranguing of our coach. I'm sorry that I left and could not join you in doing so myself.

We don't have real fans any more so he probably forgot what a crowd is supposed to do... we are all so demoralized that anything that goes wrong I say "whelp, that's the game... back to the tailgate."

PS were you REALLY not using foul or suggestive language? seriously?

[Pards Rule]

Rain was incredible in first quarter. My Pard got drenched. I actually had to wring him out Carney more than a few times. There were waterfalls cascading down the stands. And then the hour delay at halftime due to lightning in area. One thing I know: don't fumble on your 2 against any CAA opponent. That said I was proud of some decisive stands by the defense. I did return for the 2nd half. Thankfully there was no more rain except a quick downpour as we were entering stadium after the game was ready to restart.

[superman7515]

Hand on a bible, in a copper suit, in a lightning storm.

The Section L chants are...
"Stone hands, stone hands, stone hands... Throw him a brick!" - When a receiver drops a pass
"Who got the ball back? BLUE! BLUE! BLUE! BLUE!" - To the "Who let the dogs out" tune when UD recovers a fumble
"Whoomp, up side the head, said whoomp upside the head! Whoomp, up side the head, said whoomp upside the head!" - When there's a big hit.
"Move the chains, move the chains, move the chains, huh! That's a first down!" - When UD gets a first down (Start off with, "I hate to beat a dead horse, but..." if UD strings several together)
"Drop the chains, drop the chains, drop the chains, huh! That's a first down!" - UD gets a first and goal

There's a few more, but you get the gist of how high school simple they are. It's not like you heckle a specific kid about how good his mom was or something. Tavani literally had the police come to our section for that kind of thing and then got mad with the CSC Event Staff security people when they said there was nothing they could do about it.

So is that why there was a chunk of Blue Hens on the visitors side. I was wondering. I was right on the end zone line first section (nearest scoreboard) and ironically I recall I sat in the exact opposite side and space for the 2004 playoff game. Im perplexed as to why any coach would bother with fan catcalls, especially when the crowd was so limited and drenched. I watched the 4th quarter with Brandon Bryants (number 33) folks right down in the box near midfield I believe and we were fairly close I assume to section L at that point with the game undecided and I didn't hear anything?

I don't think there really is a visitors side, so to speak, more like a visitors section. The majority of the visiting teams fans seem to usually be seated in Section I. I started out there many years ago up in the nosebleed section when I first got season tickets, now thanks to the attrition from the UDAF, I'm row 3 on the 40 yard line in Section L. And as for why Tavani took it so seriously, I have no idea. I am only relaying what the event security staff and officer told us, that they were called to come talk to our section by the Lafayette coach because it was upsetting to his players, haha. We've never had it happen before, so I can't say she's lying and was just coming up with an excuse to scold the fans, because they've never been concerned with it prior to this. Now, if they try it again at the next home game and blame Laycock, I will owe him an apology because then it will be obvious they're just full of crap. But as it stands right now, all we could do was laugh. I hope the guy never goes to a Yankees game and sits near the Bleacher Creatures, they'll destroy him. It was early in the third quarter, so if you didn't come over until the fourth, we had pretty much died down by then, not a lot of excitement in the game. Heck, one of the Lafayette players got injured in the fourth quarter and you could have heard a pin drop in that stadium, there just wasn't anyone left in there. The only guy who seemed to have a lot of enthusiasm left was a Lafayette fan who yelled, "Don't you drop that ball!" a couple of times to the punter and successfully put the jinx on him, as sure enough, he dropped the ball and Lafayette recovered deep in UD territory, haha.

[caribbeanhen]

Tavani should of just been happy there where vocal fans there, is he really this stupid? He made my watch list after reading this thread.

[carney2]

The only thing that makes sense to me would be that someone in the stands was abusing the Brian Keller tragedy. But Supie says not so. Anyway, God knows that Frank has his faults, but getting into it with vocal fans has never been one of them. Sounds out of character.

Hey they could have borrowed my black trash bag which I scooped up in the UD tailgate area I walked through (grassy area in front of stadium) about the half hour before kickoff. It had some paper plates n it but I emptied it and used it like a shawl. Worked alright and then a Pard fan sitting near me in Section HE 10 (my seat) gave me an extra clear poncho she had. I truly doubt that Hen fans would have been hollering about the Keller tragedy - I don't know of any fans that in their right minds would do that. All the Hen fans I met (I was invited into a little tent in the grass area by a nice gentleman and got food and drink offers) were very accommodating and quite nice. I look forward to my return trip in 2 years.

[superman7515]

I doubt it as well, but for an entirely different reason. I had to Google it to know what Carney was speaking of and I pay attention to FCS football quite a bit more than the average fan who shows up on Saturday, while I would like to think none of the fans would say that, I also doubt very much anyone had heard of it. Not trying to trivialize it in the least, just saying it's not common knowledge in Newark.

Even truer. I wouldn't expect UD fans to know of that fatal auto accident in late June way up in Florence, NJ. I think the assistant coach without protective gear was one Stan Clayton, the OL coach, former Penn Stater and NFL player.

But while I don't discriminate, I do regulate, so if you want a chance with the stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheelin' & dealing son of gun, you better bring the A game. This could be your big break, a chance to finally break on through to the other side, where the men don't bust out the nice Sunday flannel for your date night trip to Walmart, and our contributions to the world expand beyond the Sally Jesse Raphael show.

It's like a dream come true gals, thousands of red-blooded Delaware men descending upon your village; you must feel like Andromeda, faced with the Cetus that is a lifetime in Easton, but then you hear Perseus is coming. You fellas are gonna need to install another lane on I-78 for all the women coming from every hill and dale for miles, trying to latch on to Delaware men.
Parking should be at quite a premium in Easton this weekend!:D

On a serious note, restaurant recommendations for Saturday? TripAdvisor recommends Marblehead Chowder House as the #1 restaurant in the area, but a little farther down the list is Two Rivers Brewing, and that looks like it has potential as well.

Supe, recommendations from our friends Laura and Paul at the Inn:

http://www.lafayetteinn.com/restaurants.htm

My wife and I are regulars at Sette Luna, 2 mins from campus on Ferry Street. Maybe a caprese app, Tre Colour or arugala salad, wood fired pizza. Good stuff.

Two Rivers is fairly new. The food is reputed to be good and now they also are serving their own micro brews. Cool renovated building. Only on-street parking.

2 blocks further west on Northampton is Porters Pub. Good food, nice people, great beer selection. On-street parking.

http://www.porterspubeaston.com/

For the game, just park on the streets adjacent to the stadium. Forget on-campus parking.

College Hill Tavern after (and or before) the game, 2 blocks from stadium. Good club sandwich, burger, fries, wings. New owners. New layout. Same Guinness.


So, good food choices. The nausea you'll feel will be from the game outcome.

I would add Valenca on Center Square for a terrific dinner and a very nice atmosphere. http://valencaonthesquare.com/

If the College Hill Tavern is packed to the gills before the game (which it will be), try Milo's Place a couple of blocks south on Cattell Street. You can at least get a shot and a beer plus pizza, sandwiches, etc.

looking forward to seeing the Delaware defense get after it on Saturday in Easton,

Leopards..... meet Troy Reeder #9

3 really good LB's with Bell and Jackson

your backs are going to be hating life

Now your QB.... He worries me some...

Delaware 28

Its the Delaware DL that has me worried. If the Leopard OL are on roller skates all date its going to be a long one.

The Leopards will kick some Chicken Butt. A southern dish chicken butts on Saturday in Easton.. The leopards should not have lost last year, however the umbrella police enforced the code and prepared the home cooking. This Saturday, that so so running back will not have 2000 yards, like he did going against Del. State.

I doubt The Chicken pass game has improved,, so The Leopards Should have a feast..

The hens will be introduced to many players.. speed, intelligence and strength..

Our wide outs should run right by the Hens DB's.

It certainly can get any worse but I guess we'll find out Saturday.


Carib is right. Reeder is a special player who started 10 games for Penn State last year, and was a freshmen all American (2nd team).

Yikes! We had a transfer once, back during the Carter administration.

Big test for the Pard O-line, when Reed was able to step up in the pocket last week, he looked like the Doctor of old. Must read the blitz better. Showed good escapability last week, but might like to see him run it more when able. As said in the media luncheon, defense will be trying to force the Hens to pass.

[KillaBee]

Pass the chicken!!!

although made somewhat tongue n cheek, you do bring up some Hen issues
Passing game - Hen fans were begging for a transfer WR or even 2, we didn't get one until a few days before summer practice, he is big and has soft hands, caught a TD pass last week, we still don't know how good he will be but we sure needed him,

Passing game - the head coach, who took on the QB Coaching duties, appears to have paid off. Brock seems like he works well one on one with players and invested a lot of time in our QB Joe Walker, Walker has looked better but still not tested... the jury is out

I expect Laffy will have to abandon the run early, if indeed they have any real idea that they can, and start passing the ball, your boys are going to get hit, the Delaware Defense is the strength of the team and very physical

the concern is the Hens need to tighten things up in the DB, Last week Del State was able to hit on some plays right up the seam, this is my concern, but eventually well get it figured out

Have I talked about the Delaware D yet? haha... get ready!

[KillaBee]

CHICKEN PARM....

[YoUDeeMan]

Laffy will get killed.

Seriously...you have no defense, you lost last year against one of the most abysmal UD teams EVER.

Our coach finally shed his sick excuses and is acting like his team should win. The clown wasted the last three years of UD football...but his arse is on the line and he gave up on the silly notion that transfers are bad. The Laffy coach embarrassed himself by saying Brock was doing it the right way by going without transfers...and sure enough, Brock brings in Reeder (Brock got lucky on that one...Reeder is a talented member of the UD football family) and added a 6'7" TE/slot receiver to bail out our QB.

Nice additions...perhaps Brock won't be an azz and ask people if they can name 10 transfers the next time he speaks in front of a group of Hen fans. xlolx

So the shrew offensive idea to run up the middle on 2nd and 3rd and long might be gone.

Bye-bye Laffy...you're going to get run out of your own stadium.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Heh. It won't be the first time. xbangx

[KillaBee]

I like almost every food,
I think every dish is good,
The food I think I like the best,
Is a Blue Hen right out the nest.

I could eat it in the morning,
I could eat it without warning.
I could eat it Saturday,
Fried or baked either way.

Whether it be famous Chuck's or Kentucky fried,
I'll eat Blue chicken until the day I've died.
Chicken is the best you see,
If Delaware State won't eat it, I will joyfully.

Parm is the style I prefer,
to my Leopards I'll refer.
I like the crispy crunchy taste,
I'll never let it go to waste.

You may highly disagree,
But chicken is the dish for me.
If you don't like it then that's tuff,
You can have the other stuff.



HAAAAAA CHICKENS TALKING ABOUT A 4 BASED DEFENSE...
GOOOOOOOOOO LEOPARDSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

[Nova09]

I get why the UD fans are amped for a new season, but confused as to why the lafayette posters even care about this re-run from last year when they still have a playoff game from a few years back going on somewhere.

[melloware13]

I sincerely hope that Lafayette has improved from last year where they were the second best team in Easton. However, I won't be happy if by sunday my schools are 0-2 in Easton in 2016.

An article praising grade inflation? Is that really what we care about these days?

[that's not directed at Delaware, the total number of 3.0 students seems to have gone up significantly in the year over year]

[Henny]

This is actually about a fan of Lafayette who starts posting garbage about UD on their board.

"With all due respect to bethlempard (my grandfather grew up in Bethlehem) , I would be surprised if they have any academic standards at all."


"I have no respect for schools like Delaware who can recruit without a thought toward academics."

Thats annoying as ****, I hate when old gas bags try and argue their schools "superior" academics vs other schools, its literally like talking about which tomato in the bin is the most red. Academic "prestige" to an extent is such crap. Chemistry programs are regulated by the American Chemical Society, our program is way above the programs of hundreds of schools across the US. Yet plenty of people would argue a chem degree from a school seen as "better" than UNH is "better", regardless of how their chem program stacks up vs ours. Ending the mini rant but god damn thats annoying Henny haha, the FCS kids are true STUDENT athletes no matter the conference. If one wants to make that statement at least argue about the P5 schools where the kids are literally there for BBALL or Football for less than 3 years to get to the NBA or NFL.

so how old are you Sir?

[UNHWildcat18]

so how old are you Sir?

I see what you did there haha, in seriousness one of my professors is very high up in the ACS ranks and was showing us diagrams of required hours of lab, material to test on, subjects to cover ect... And how many schools were struggling to meet the ACS standard, however our program was far above that benchmark. I mention this to relate how people assume academics regardless of individual departments must be better because of a schools "prestige" vs another school which is simply not always the case. So some dude saying UD recruits how they want because they don't care about academics, insinuating that UD isn't a good academic school is infuriating to me.

Anyways I watched the CCSU game last week, I think UD has a way better defense than CCSU and the offense probably won't turn the ball over 5 times. I see a 34-13 UD win

[Henny]

Oh and BTW #9 was an honor student at Penn State where he was a Dean’s List student, was selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 2 team, and was named Academic All-Big 10.

I wonder why he didn't go to Lafayette ?!?!

The dish which caught my attention was the...
Mediterranean Chicken

Enjoy Sept. 10th... Down Goes the Blue Hens..

Gooooooo Leopards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andy]

You're suggesting he transferred to UD for the academics? Or rather to play with his brother?

[Henny]

Well he is a finance major and since UD is the 12th ranked public institution, recently ranked by Business Insider, the quality of the school didn't hurt.

[Bogus Megapardus]

this is not a Computer wore Tenny shoes .... it's a football game!

It looks like Lafayette will have video on their website of the game, is Lafayette's stream free? I can't seem to find a link to anything I need to pay for, but I'll likely be getting back from work just in the nick of time for kickoff, want to make sure I don't have to set something up beforehand so I don't miss anything.

cant think of a reason why it wouldn't be free, lets face it, just not enough demand for this game to put a price on it besides maybe a few dozen people interested..

Should've watched till the end.

Some ugly offensive play from both sides in the first half, but Delaware returning to and trusting the run game combined with a surge of give-a-**** from the Hens after a bull**** targeting call ejected one of our players turned the tide pretty decisively.

What a crappy game, by two crappy poorly coached teams. Delaware won because the run game wore the Pards down in the 4th, but really there are no winners here.

Delaware won because they have one of the best Defenses in FCS..... You guys are slow

[Franks Tanks]

No, Lafayette has been historically bad of offense since the start of last season.

[caribbeanhen]

it wasn't a very interesting game or pretty to watch but Delaware laid some lumber on Laffy

Delaware losses Wes Hills on first series of game, dislocated elbow

Jarmon drops another sure TD pass

Delaware receivers continue to drop passes and not get open, but Cherry looking good

Walker looks better

the Defense is physical and athletic .... they will seek and destroy... haha

[BlueHenSinfonian]

What a crappy game, by two crappy poorly coached teams. Delaware won because the run game wore the Pards down in the 4th, but really there are no winners here.

I give Brock credit for going for it on 4th and 6 in the 3rd to score that 2nd TD and put the game out of reach. A season or two ago he would've punted there, he's growing some balls.

I think the loss of Hills in the first quarter made him doubt the run calls, or maybe he just wanted to establish a passing game, either way with the other RBs we have, and the WRs we don't have, we need to be a run-first team this year, especially since the QB can run too.

Add some designed reverses and other misdirection run plays to keep defenses honest, and we'll hopefully break some big ones earlier on.

I'll give credit where credit is due to the 'Pards defense though, y'all were making plays behind the line more than I expected. That Mrazek kid is something special as well.

Sure well give him credit, but what makes it easy to hang your balls out is that you have a Defense that can play! if your D is swiss cheese it makes it real hard to go for it in that situation.... tonight was a no brainer really....

[CHIP72]

No, Lafayette has been historically bad of offense since the start of last season.

In all seriousness for Delaware fans, go look at Lafayette's scores from 2015. The above is true.

[caribbeanhen]

no Delaware fan is arguing about how bad Laffy's offense is, doesnt change the talent level of Delaware Defense
