93 - good summary of the downfall of UD FB except. The part about the antagonistic relationship. KC was fired about one month (or less) of Ziady being hired. Hard to even have a relationship in one month. The real bad guy was Harker in the firing of KC. Ziady was hired hit man that pulled the trigge...

There is still a piss wall on the visitors side - where I have my tickets. So if you miss it that much.... take a hike.

I agree about GoHens. Have reduced my posting to about as often as I post here.

Oh and in keeping with the excite - o - meter. URI has got to be the best team in the CAA based on how they played this week. Things are really not that bad in Hen Land

What is the trumpet incident? There is an Ex-band member that has been in attendances for years. He would play various short tunes on the trumpet when good things would happen on the field. He ALWAYS followed the rules about not playing when a play is in progress. Wears a chicken for a hat - thus t...

Still remain a season ticket holder since about 1992. The UD admin is trying to make things better. 1. There are some UD tailgates that are hosted by the University for the season ticket holders. 2. CSC has many really nice people now and they are nothing but friendly. This is a BIG change from 2008...

Yes he is. He spoke at the signing day event that they have for the Season Ticket holders each year. He is slowing down some. I think he is close to 90 now.

It's that "man made" global warming thing you know.

Around Delaware we barely had a couple of days that hit the 90's this year. It is the coolest Summer that I can remember (50+ years).

Johnson was hurt his entire senior year. The teams that had been interested in him in his junior year didn't risk an offer.

I was at the game. #11 is a player, she was everywhere.

I had thought that they said that it took too much time away from the classes as the biggest reason. Which doesn't sound right when you look at the time commitment needed if your team does well in the NCAA BB tournament.

I am sure it gets old.

How do the schools justify not participating in the football playoffs but still send Basketball teams to the tournament? If your team makes it all the way it woulds seem that they will be away from school and classes for also most as long as they would if they made the finals in football.

just a heads up, these guys transfer for a reason. That is correct. For instance, Joe Flacco transferred from Pitt to Delaware because he was unmotivated and had a horrible addiction to crack. He also punched a baby. I always wondered why he transferred. I thought it was related to the dog fighting.

I'm sure you've all seen the concern expressed. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is being absorbed by the oceans and the average PH of the oceans is believed to have fallen by 0.1 since around 200 years ago. The concern is that increasing carbon in the ocean will threaten marine animals that use ca...

Tough crowd. I think Delaware was just a bad spot on a 4th down play by the officials (along with ensuing chaos moving the chains and such) from a national championship just two years ago. I watched the Delaware/ODU game on TV this year and the announcers were saying the Blue Hens were devastated b...

I would say the drop in UD attendence and in this order but it is cumulative. 1. The economy 2. The administrations method of increase revenue for the parking pass holders - three years ago 3. The admins method of increasing revenue by implementing a mandatory contribution to the athletic fund last...

UD Ga Southern Game was great. Their offense has been impressive each time that we have played them. I believe our record is either 2 & 2 or that last game may have put us ahead. Reminds me of the Wing T back in the hay day. I think if you could use that offense but mix in 25 - 30 % passes - wha...

From Northhen "So...... my questions were..... When is the UD-Pitt game? Is this the last scheduled FBS game for the Hens under KCs scheduling philosophy? At what point does an FBS "money game" become economically advantageous? Keeler's theory has been "We're Delaware! We don't h...

93 said "And your point is well taken. My shots taken at our attendance are never out of some joy at getting back at the AD/UDAF. They are taken out of depression at the 2008->present attendance trend. Sad to see a STH base go from mid 11Ks to mid 7Ks in three years. The very scary part is the ...

The point is that even in a bad year or declining attendance UD is still top ten, most likely top 5. We have a long way to fall before we become UNH or Villanova. There are a lot of advantages to having less people at the game. 1. Easier in and out with parking. 2. shorter lines at the pee wall 3. C...

The other item that you missed is the death penalty. I believe currently you can leave a little more than $5MM to your family tax free. It rolls back to $1MM. That may not sound like a big deal to you folks just starting out in the real world of trying to stay ahead but is will be in the future. Any...

It was still the third highest figure at an FCS game and higher than seven FBS games Saturday ...

Restaurants to mitigate health care costs by cutting hours Restaurant News ^ | 10/17/2012 | Erin Dostal In light of the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, restaurant companies and franchisees are looking into ways to lower costs to save money, including cutting employee hour...

Today's attendance vs Towson.. is the worst I've seen at UD stadium.. what use to be 23,000 is now half of that. :oops: Hen scratch Paid attendance of 16,252 at Delaware Stadium Saturday was the lowest for a regular-season game since Oct. 11, 1997, against Richmond (14,324). It was still the third ...

I hope RI wins. That way they will celebrating their victory and forget about playing UD. That might be the only other win we get this year.
