#1/#2 Delaware @ #4/#5 William & Mary - Game Thread

I'm guessing there's a molten hole in some data center where GoHens is hosted right about now...

I'll stay away from that place for about 14 days.

[Knucklehead]

WOW, I listened on the radio, and what a game. Impressive performance by both defenses, but congrats to W&M for the win

[93henfan]

I guess this drops us to #5.

Oh well, I can live with that. The Nova game will be extra huge this year.

All in all, a closely matched pair of teams. Will we meet again this year?? For a homecoming crowd at W&M, it was louder than normal. On a warm sunny day like this, homecoming crowds tend to get kind of mellow, so it was great to see everyone get involved!

Damn. Sounds like a helluva game.

Damn. Sounds like a helluva game.

I'm hoarse, if that tells you anything. Probably the second best Hens-Tribe game I've ever seen. We won 10-7 in OT a while back. I hyperventilated after that one!

5Dimes' opening line was W&M -1 with a 33 over/under.

Those Koreans know their FCS football.

W&M and UD have had a lot of great games over the years. W&M has won more than there fair share of them.

Nice win for the Tribe today.

I would mind a rematch in a few months - on a neutral field.

God help us all if that happens.

I would mind it as well.

Great game. Had to tape it and watched it several hours after it ended. How many games have the Hens lost on a missed/blocked FG at the end of the game? I can count four in the last 10 years.

Did you actually avoid looking at the score all day?? Good for you if you did.

For the most part. I did catch a glimpse at 3-3 in the 2nd, but that didn't ruin anything. I went from coaching soccer to a birthday party to coaching hockey. Got home around 7:30 and watched it FF between plays and commercials so I could watch the Phillies lose. Great evening.

Aren't you an Eagles fan too?

THAT was brutal. I was keeping up with it on my phone and saw they had first and goal from the 3 and thought "Okay, this is great, they'll punch it in, be up 23-10 and there's no way the Titans are coming back from that." Then I looked down 10 minutes later and it was still 16-10...

Aren't you an Eagles fan too?

That was Sunday, I had 16 hours to recover. I didn't get to see a single play of that one either. Another soccer game at 2pm yesterday. On the way home I turn on the radio and hear 19-10 in the 4th and they gave the stats that were unbelievably lopsided in favor of the Eagles. By the time we got home (20 minutes) they said 20-19 and I thought I must have heard it wrong.

I was convinced the GameCast on my phone had gone haywire. 27 points in the 4th quarter will do that...
