#1 Blue Hens Out to Capture CAA Title, Automatic NCAA Tournament Berth in Annual Battle of the Blue vs. #15 Villanova
The No. 1 ranked University of Delaware (9-1, 6-1 CAA) will be looking to treat the Delaware Stadium home crowd to a Colonial Athletic Association championship and automatic NCAA Tournament playoff berth this Saturday as the Hens take on long-time rival Villanova in the annual Battle of the Blue game.
A near sellout crowd is expected for Senior Day and Hall of Fame Day as the two teams battle for the 43rd time since 1895 with the Blue Hens looking to snap a personal four-game losing streak to Villanova (6-4, 4-3 CAA) and down the Wildcats for the first time since the 2005 season and for the first time on its home turf since 2004.
Villanova, the defending NCAA national champions, also have plenty at stake as the Wildcats will most certainly clinch a post-season playoff spot with a victory and most likely be left out of the NCAA Tournament with a loss.
The 20-team NCAA Tournament field will be announced this Sunday morning, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m. on ESPNU. The top 12-ranked teams will earn first round byes.
Today’s game, which will be televised live throughout the Mid-Atlantic region on The Comcast Network, will feature two of the league’s most notable quarterbacks in Delaware’s Pat Devlin and Villanova’s Chris Whitney. Devlin enjoyed a career day last season when the Blue Hens fell to the Wildcats 30-12 at Villanova while Whitney was running for 138 yards and a touchdown.

These UD seniors won't want to finish their careers with an "ofer" against Nova. UD 23, Nova 14.

Whitney's a very ordinary QB without Szezur (sp?)...

Maybe we could get the CAA CS.com posters to contribute to this thread and pretend like they're Villanova fans over the next few days? It sux talking to yourself.

Then we couldn't see the smackdown in person...

Although by halftime I'm sure Villy will be up by about 51 or so, so maybe we'll get one then.

Hens win 31-21, over/under on 'Nova fans in attendance: 375.

I thought I saw an article that said Scissors was playing...

[bluehenbillk]

The funnier thing is you go onto 'Nova's rival board & the only thread with action today on the football board is something mentioning the Pavilion - which is named after a convicted murderer, being a firetrap.

The bandwagon is empty - or on blocks in Chester.....
