I'm not going to discuss ad nauseum the pros and cons...the reason it's been so quiet probably is we have a pretty healthy(one might even say cordial) debate going on http://www.sdfsufans.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Another reason is we don't kick down doors and say "OH $%%^^& the Blue Hens! We're gonna cause them to be sterile for the next 3 generations!!!!!"
There's two types of fans I can't stand: Fans who don't respect other fans' opinions and UNI Fans. :rofl:

I'm not sure if I've predicted anything but a Jackrabbit win.....score? 24-16, Jacks

I honestly don't know what to expect from this game.

Last year the Jacks were a damn good football team and the Hens were a mediocre team at best. This year's Delaware squad looks to be improved, but by how much? The o-line will have to improve significantly for UD to be an upper tier team this year.

SDSU had to fill a couple holes on their o-line, how much of a step back will that be, if any? How much of a factor will the Rabbits banged up secondary be?

Too many "ifs" to make any kind of sound prediction - this game could go either way.

Hen Fans will not really know how good the 2010 Hens are until the fourth game against their first CAA opponent of the season, Richmond.

SDSU is just another game in the TUB 8-)
My my my how do you really feel :lol: Just another game? I didn't know the Hens lost regularly 8-)
I think I know where he is coming from though. You guys are an OOC opponent that are not well known to most UD fans. UD hasn't been a great team for the last few years. I, for one, have a lot of questions about this years UD team and a win or a loss tomorrow isn't going to answer many of those questions.

I also think that this game would generate a lot more discussion if it were happening later in the season.

Best team since 07? That shouldn't be hard for you guys should it? You haven't been real good the last couple years. Didn't you have a TE play QB for a while?

UD wasn't actually that bad last year, just happened to be in the wrong conference. The only two games we weren't really in were the W&M and nova games, and those were two semifinalists last year. Should've beaten Richmond, a quarterfinalist (blocked FG from a very makeable distance as time expired) and we really should've beaten a Navy team that went 10-4 last year with a bowl win and a win against ND. In most other conferences, UD would've been a playoff team last year. But yes, '08 was abysmal.

And UNI was 2 blocked FG's from beating the Orange Bowl Champion, a couple seconds from beating Illinois State, one bad INT away from beating SIU, and well the SDSU game we shit ourselves. So, any other conference we were a playoff team too.


Seriously though, I see your point about last year. Years like that SUCK

I still like years like that ('09 for UD) where we're not that bad but aren't good enough to get the breaks to go our way versus years like '08 for UD when we just flat out sucked.

No, no, let him be white. It's almost quaint and folksy to see a white man at RB any more. I haven't been this excited to watch a game since Merrill Hoge had his final concussion.

Dammit, guess I gotta take the paint back then.
