I know TSU won but is that 1993 score right? I remember it closer, damn Tony Vinson. See Towson State went the transfer route almost a decade before we did!

If the track wasn't bad enough they normally run out of food and got chocolate there by the mid 2q. Definitely flask weather Saturday. All hail the Captain!

I went by the UD Media Guide. Hell, the 1983 score is even weirder. Getting two safeties is one thing, but getting two safeties, #1: In a loss AND #2: As your only scores, is just really weird.

I'd go with the Lions (6-2, 3-0) at Cowboys (7-1, 3-0) in a showdown for first place in the Southland Conference.

FCS Game of the Week is clearly EWU @ ISU.

Worse than you will when you play SUU in the first round of the playoffs?

The Lions are still under most people's radar. Not mine. But most people's. That's evidenced by the fact that they weren't ranked in the Sports Network top 25 going into this past weekend; which I think was absolutely ridiculous.

I pick Torson to win a close one.

No. Cowgirls. But that's not the point of this thread.
After the hijack, we are now talking about Lions and Cowboys. Pay attention.

Hey, I remember the last time this game was down there, you had the "handshake" (or lack there of):

NEWARK — The Blue Hens turn the corner into November still on a proper path toward their postseason goals.

Saturday’s 35-13 victory over Rhode Island gave Delaware a 6-2 record. On Monday, the Hens were rewarded with re-entry into the Sports Network’s FCS national Top 25 at No. 21.

Now comes the hard part: Staying there.

Waiting around the bend – or, more precisely, off the Baltimore Beltway – is No. 7 Towson, which the Hens visit Saturday night at 7...

5dimes makes Towson a 17.5 point favorite.

Looking forward to the trip down, got my oldest son going with me. Where are the pregame festivities Andy?

[bluehenbillk]

What's most likely to happen Saturday night:

A: Andy's family paints their chests
B: 93henfan outdrinks me in the parking lot
C: Cluck U wagers money straight up on the game
D: 89Hen shows up
