Rocco? I didn't not see this coming.

Who?

Guess we'll just have to wait and see how he does...

He's either going to win or lose, there's no in between. No doubt about it.

I think if he can get his team to score more points than the other team, he'll do alright.

Probably this.

The thing about football at UD is, you have to have an offense to score points and a defense to prevent scoring. If this guy understands that, he'll be okay there.

We'll see what he decides to do, but if he chooses to use a QB to throw the ball, I'm sure the UD nation will support that strategy.

Unless he's a fan of Cory Hart and features a long pronounced jowl line, they might have some defectors.

What does wearing your sunglasses at night have to do with this? Literally any of this? Seriously...if I missed the point, please explain it to me literally.

Are you suggesting they never surrender?

I think if Hillary can get more popular votes than the other guys, she'll do alright.

That rule doesn't apply to females (obviously)

This is a big surprise.

Bigly?

If this coach wins a lot more than he loses, he'll do great things. Great things.

So bigly. It's gonna be great, let me tell ya!

Now find a real QB and some receivers who can catch the ball.

Oh hell yes. Giant awoken.

I got to say congrats to UD. May be a bitter rival of JMU, but UD being annually in the top 2-3 CAA teams, playoffs every year, being a national power again would be good for the CAA...

While I hate the dirtbags from harrisonburg, I am for this one week a JMU fan. Enough of the puke ugly green and yellow championship weekend. Chrissi really is earning her paycheck and leaving a mark of Blue Hen athletics. She is proving to be a pit bull. targeting and hiring a successful conference rivals coach and essentially coaching staff, thereby strengthening the Hens and weakening the Spiders is a big move.
