and he is driving a stake through the heart of Delaware football. A once proud program is in free fall with no apparent parachute. UD is on it's way to the 5th poor season in KC's 8 years. KC obviously bought himself some good-time with the '03 title and '07 trip to Chattanooga.. but the intervening years have been very poor. Seems apparent that Mr Keeler needs the top talent (which he can't recruit) to win big or even just to produce a winning season. Sadly I don't expect to see another Joe Flacco anytime soon.

GSU fans... you are not alone...

Without a doubt the latter.

All you say may be true....but it's not hurting ticket sales...

I've been trying to get tickets for the UMass/Hens match on Oct 10th, and so far the only ones I can find are on Stubhub for $159 per.....

Love my Minutemen...but I'm not paying that much...

Ticketmaster says they don't have any, and the UMass Athletic ticket office has my name on a wait list (if some seasonticket holders don't decide to go to Delaware, I might get some of them)...

Go to 'gohens.net' there is a thread (ticket exchange) just for tickets.. with the attitudes on that board right now.. you'll probably find a willing seller.

Dave, you are welcome to one (possibly two) of my three tickets for the tidy sum of $0.00. Let me know. Section C Row JJ (30 yd line).

Now, wait just a cotton pickin' minute. I thought this was EXPECTED on the East Coast. I thought (according to 89Hen) that THIS is what proved the superiority of East Coast football....the mere fact that a team could NOT (like Montana) dominate their conference every year....that it was IMPOSSIBLE to go years without a "down" season....why, with an '03 title and an '07 trip, KC should be good for another 20 years, using 89Hen's logic....

I would prefer that UD oscillate between great and average teams. That would be an indication of a strong program playing in a strong league. Unfortunately, under Keeler, it's feast or famine. I'm still onboard with Keeler, but I'd like to see the Hens in the playoffs within the next 2 years, and this season is not looking good right now.

If I come, it's the wife and I....Section C, you say...Hen's territory if I remember correctly...

I'll keep your outstanding offer in mind....

Just give me a week's notice before the game and I'll have two for you, right next to me. It is on the home side, 30-yard line closest the south end zone, three quarters of the way up with a great view of the whole field.

Yup. You've got it correct. If the Hens played Western State, Cal Davis, PSU and NAU they'd be 4-0 and in the Top 10.

I doubt that...

You've played WESTCHESTER and DELAWARE STATE. And those are your only two wins. Any team with ANY heart, and UD folds like a cheap piano.

Your logic has been exposed, Hen. Admit it.

And like I said had the Hens played your schedule so far, they'd be 4-0.

At BEST, 2-2.

Too bad we won't get a chance to see, since there's not a chance in HELL they'll make the playoffs. Again.

It is downright HILARIOUS to watch people try to justify mediocrity.

So we can expect you to go 3-8 this year then?

You're a smart guy. Why do you keep making my arguement for me? Of course there's no chance... the Hens don't play in the Big Sky.

keep justifying mediocrity. It's hilarious.

You guys could do ok in the MEAC, I bet. You DID beat DSU, after all.

You keep barking up the wrong tree. Delaware should be better than they are and Hen fans are disappointed. But the mediocrity in question is not that of the Hens, but that of your entire conference.

NAU and UC Davis would beat Delaware by double digits

None of the polls or computers agree with that at all. Matter of fact, all of them have UD favored.

Gotcha.

Keep eatin' those 3-8 seasons. Have fun with it.

Sorry, but that's bullshit and you know it. We lost to the #1 team on a blocked chip shot field goal and by 10 points to the #5 team.

I know you guys can't stand 89, but don't say dumb things about Delaware.

What do you mean? I love Danny boy. It's the Cap'n that don't like him.

And as far as ON-TOPIC goes, you've beaten two sub-FCS schools, and lost to two upper tier FCS schools. You've proven NOTHING this year except that you're mediocre. NAU lost in OT to the #4 team. I'm guessing it might be a good game against UD.
