Tough loss for my Hens, but when you guys beat Villanova I knew that you were the real deal. Even when it was 19-0 I didn't have this game in the UD win column.

Nice comeback, you deserved to win.

Ditto

Kalm, Screamin', Ranger et al,

I tip my hat and sincerely hope you are savoring every ounce of your well-deserved championship.

If there is any such thing as equilibrium in the universe, I hope you are enjoying the high because the other half of the equation is no fun at all. That was the most gut-wrenching defeat I've ever witnessed. I'd take a thousand blowout losses to App State over a game getting snatched away like that.

All credit to EWU for not giving up down 19-0 late in the third quarter. Just an all-time comeback. Congrats again.

Congrats to the Eagles! The f-bombs were dropping hard and fast in the First State just after 10 p.m. last night, but life marches on. As does FCS football!

Enjoy the win, Eagles! And for chrissakes, dye that carpet green!

Congrads to Eastern Washington from this Richmond Spider and CAA fan! I love FCS football! It is so superior to those FBS guys!

Thanks 93. Not that it will help any, but we do know [somewhat] what you guys are feeling like. It wasn't the championship game, but in 2004 in the QFs after having beat #1 SIU on the road, hosting SHSU, we were up by 20 (missed XP earlier in the game) in the 4th quarter. Prevent defense. They came back and kicked the winning PAT with a couple seconds left. Unfortunately you will never forget it, but it does get easier.

Both teams certainly deserved to be in that game. Delaware has a great squad. I'm just so proud of our guys for never quitting, and always seeming to do the impossible, all season long. Made for some stressful yet entertaining 4th quarters this year... Montana, Sac State, UNC, SUU, NDSU, Nova, and now Delaware. This team battled, and for that I am extremely grateful and proud. Go EAGLES!, and congrats BLUE HENS, for a great season, and a great game.

93, I feel your pain. The change in mood on the Montana sideline last year in Chatty from halftime to the end of the game was absolutely gutwrenching and like nothing I've ever witnessed (and hope to never witness again). Personally, I think I'd rather not make the playoffs, or lose early, than to get to the NC game and crap out.

Just wanted to extend a congrats to the UD fans on this board on a great season. You had an incredible team this year. It sucks that someone had to lose a game like that, but there's no doubt in my mind of the quality of program you have - great coaches, players, and fans and a solid tradition.

Congrats on a great game.

Nice win EWU, and great season blue chickens Didn't catch the whole game, but it sounds like it was as well matched as possible. After watching Hurricane Sczur roll through Boone I thought Nova was the team again, but the Eag's pretty much shrugged off. I guess the red field paid off somehow Enjoy the win and NC Eagle fans!

Class.

had a great time with the numerous UD fans I met in Frisco. Let's do it again!

OK. This lovefest is making me sick.

These next 9 months are gonna be so much fun.

Sorry for the late congrats, but I don't post much on the weekends, especially when the Hens lose the National Championship in devastating fashion. Congrats to the Eagles, it was an impressive comeback. When the Hens went up 19-0 I told Mrs89 they better keep scoring if they want to win the game... they didn't and they didn't. Great comeback lads. Congrats to all EWU fans except BF.

It's OK, I'm sure 89hen will come back to the board eventually.

As soon as the first Montana fan tries to ride your coattails for finally beating a CAA team in the NC.

Like you said. You've been away for most of the weekend. Keep reading.

Of course they are, by why even make that post? Sounds like you are trying to rub it in.

I don't even know if he realizes that he's doing it BH86. He did pretty much the same thing to me after the Griz/EWU game in texts and shit. He knows that these losses are tough on the psyche but when in the winning position forgets that aspect. I made sure when he was in Missoula and EWU lost that I did nothing like that knowing that it really sucks but the very next year the same courtesy was not extended back to me. Since he's a good guy in all other aspects that I know of I mentioned it and let it go but there is no reason to be shitty about winning.

Well, there is a reason if the loser is being shitty and trying to make excuses or somehow denigrate the win but not in this case where you're trying to congratulate the victors.

That wasn't my intent at all, certainly not to UD fans. My comment was directed at CAA Flagship's post about the love fest making him sick. My bad.

Okay, that makes sense.

And it won't be 9 months, it will be 12 (if not more). You are still the champs during the season next year too.
