NDSU & UD agree to 2018/2019 home & home series

[BDKJMU]

Someone just posted on JMU board off UD football twitter feed. I must say I wish that CAA school was JMU..

[Grizalltheway]

Poor Hens. Hope they get their shit together by then...

[89Hen]

Ugh

The Bison, currently ranked No. 1 in both the media and coaches' FCS polls, will host the Blue Hens in the season opener Sept. 1, 2018, at the 19,000-seat Fargodome. Delaware will host the Bison at Delaware Stadium on Sept. 14, 2019.

Hopefully UD has a new HC and new QB by that time, and some WR's to throw to & an OL that can pass block. The defense is & should continue to be pretty good.

[AZGrizFan]

Goddamn it. Griz better get busy and get back on their schedule or it's gonna fill up.

[Gil Dobie]

Maybe see Rich Gannon there, says he still follows the Hens.

Why not just send another team?

At UD in 2019? I'll be eligible for Medicare by then.

Seriously, great news!

So how far from Minny to Fargo? $350 to fly into Fargo, $140 to fly into MSP.

Heck, up there that's less than a three hour drive.

Google not working for you?

I drove roundtrip MSP to Fargo for the JMU @ NDSU playiff game 2011 and one way in 2014 on a western states road trip. About 3.5 hrs not including stops..

This is what was posted on the JMU board back in March after the CSU @ NDSU Preseason game was announced:
"JMU had a contract written up to be the NDSU opponent for this FCS kickoff. The contract had a return game at BFS. NDSU declined the contract. I was shocked. We were big timed by another FCS program."

So NDSU inked a one and done contract with CSU. It could have besn JMU if JMU was willing to do a one and done for a paycheck & nationally televised game (and with Houston's 1st game as HC likely on the recevung end of an asskicking).

UD gets their return game in 2019. Maybe JMU wanted a return game 2017 or 2018 and that wouldn't work for NDSU (NDSU does have a home & home with with EWU 2016-2017 with NDSU @ EWU IN 2017). I don't know. Just a lot of JMU fans are annoyed that Montana, EWU, and now fellow CAA UD can get a home and home with NDSU and JMU couldn't. JMU now gets to host Morehead State for the opener..Whoo hoo!

BFS

You Virginia guys are silly. Went to a game at Centreville High School... you know, CVHS

Bridge Forth Stadium?

If you were trying to get a 2017 home game vs NDSU I hope they laughed directly in your ADs face as they signed the deal with CSU.

Getting NDSU to give up 2 OOC games at home in 2017? Not just that but in in VA and one in WA? Get freaking real.

NDSU's OOC next year is
9/2 OPEN
9/9 OPEN
9/16 @ EWU
9/23 v Robert Morris

So, either NDSU goes from VA to WA in back to back weeks and goes until game 3 until a home game or NDSU goes Virginia, OPEN, Washington to open the schedule for travel.

NDSU has both dates in 2017 marked in bold, which is notating it's a home game. That means NDSU is looking for a home game.

If JMU was willing to wait a few years for a return game they likely are playing NDSU in the opener this year.

My guess it was a timing issue for a return game. First and foremost for NDSU, 6 home games, period. The AD would be tarred and feathered if he ever came out with a 5 home game schedule. So the home/homes are usually limited to 12 game seasons for NDSU to do the return game.

Too busy to tell us the capacity of UD's stadium.

On a not really related note, just saw that we have 19,000 season tickets sold this year. That's like half of our population!

Never really thought of the fact we have more season ticket holders than UNDSU can fit in their whore island barn.

Actually the most accurate description I've heard is whore island shopping mall.

These two posts made me chuckle.

Small victories...

[93henfan]

Enjoy, Delaware fans who still go to games. I'll be thinking of you.

I'm sorry that NDSU has to travel so far to play a shitty program.
