Well then wouldn't jury still be out on Delaware, Clenz?93henfan wrote:Barely beat a terrible Delaware team, handily beat an even worse Albany team, and lost close to a terrible FBS team.JohnStOnge wrote:I think at this point we know that Rhode Island is pretty good.
Jury’s still out.

So the jury is still out on URI who had a close win against Delaware. What if URI finishes 8-3 or 9-2 against a decent schedule with a win against a couple of ranked opponents? The URI loss for Delaware would be considered a "good" loss and if they finish 7-4 they wouldn't exactly have sucked balls. Maybe went down the shaft to the base but not sucked balls.93henfan wrote:Wut?kalm wrote:

Delaware sucks balls. How many times do I need to say it? I’m not the one voting for Delaware in Top 25 polls (go see the preseason poll thread when I told people voting for Delaware was idiotic). Anyone voting for Delaware at this point is voting for a name. It would be like voting for Texas in FBS.
Delaware will have 200 fans there, tops. Our fanbase doesn’t travel anymore, particularly to North Dakota in September. The product (on our end) doesn’t justify it.Gil Dobie wrote:If Delaware wins, most of the message board fans in 10 years will say, "I was there".

Yup, 200 is the high number for UD fans there (and I won't be in the 200). We just don't travel like we did, and even back then getting 1,000 folks out there would've been big. Like 93 said, I wouldn't expect NDSU to have more than 1,000 folks our way next year. Of course, you guys have to watch expenses since you have to factor in the cost to get down to Frisco every year.93henfan wrote:Delaware will have 200 fans there, tops.

We never really got any fans from out that way in the games here either. SDSU brought hardly anyone to a regular season matchup in Newark. UNI and SIU brought hardly anyone to playoff games in Newark.
I would expect NDSU to bring a few thousand here, kind of like Georgia Southern did. That’s kind of the benchmark for long distance travel to me. Good FCS teams bring a few thousand. UD is not a good FCS team this decade.
If Wentz is healthy and the Eagles are in town that same weekend next year, NDSU attendance could go way up. That’d be a great double-header.
in any month. Hell, can you even get to NDSU in less than 10 hours? Seriously.93henfan wrote:particularly to North Dakota in September.

You got these big uglies in the back field, 400 lb QB, RB and TE?93henfan wrote:Gil Dobie wrote:Coach K, says Delaware should have beat Rhody, just too many turnovers and bad breaks.
