"I want to win as much as anybody. I didn't come down here to lose."


This guy is WAY more likable than Muir already.

I wonder if he's going to immediately throw his weight around a la Reggie McKenzie.

Wait...there's a New Delaware?

Hah good one.

Much better than the OLD Delaware.

The one good question asked during the press conference was if Ziady planned to stay awhile or if he was just using the position as a stepping stone like Muir did.

Ziady answered the question well, but let's face it: You don't ever turn down an offer to be the AD at Stanford. Can't fault Muir there. I just hope Ziady cares a bit more about the cash cow, football, than Muir did.

As has been discussed at some length on GoHens, I hope Ziady has the cajones to challenge the BoT to be more proactive toward the football program. I liked some of his comments regarding tradition, conference realignment, etc. He seems to be more in tune with what is important to Delaware football fans than Muir was. Time will tell of course.

I heard our black fan gave up his tickets last year. UD games have to be as white as North Dakota State games. Not much diversity in the Tub.

A guy can dream, right?

But no. We're stuck with big head for at least five and a half more seasons.

But Muir did probably lower the average age demographic at games by 5-10 years.

While dropping the season ticket base by 35%. Shrewd.
