UD is listed as a 5 point favorite per 5 Dimes.

Sounds like a good line. I wouldn't touch it.

I like UD minus the points, in that case. Now if it was a 7 or 8-point spread, maybe not.

[93henfan]

I could see this game going down to the last possesion, in which case, is it a field goal or a touchdown that wins it? That's why I wouldn't touch the five points.

I respect Maine. They are a good team.

Did you Delaware fans even see the game. I DID. I can tell you that we were ahead with 9 minutes left in the game. We had a touchdown called back due to your refs calling phantom holding call. I replayed the came on TV when I got home and let me tell you, not holding. I can truly say that ODU could have EASILY won that game.

You can bank on losin next year's game in Norfolk. Hey and I saw what you guys said about Virgnia. Is that why all you Yankees like to move here? Just wondering....

So bring your BIG BOY BRITCHES to ODU and let's see where they are when you leave.

I love it though, because it sounds like the bully in town not realizing that theres a bigger boy moving to the block.

Man, I will tell you. ODU fans are like a STD, you can shower all day & apply whatever shampoo or cream the doctor tells you & they won't go away. Last time I looked: 1) UD won by double figures, while 2) having to settle for a school record 6 FG attempts in the game , and 3) yes, son the play was holding, I was there & saw the play - I know football is new at ODU so maybe you could get a clue with what the rules are.

PS - Your offense managed 3 points on their own last Saturday - credit special teams with the other 14. If Demarco is head above heels your #1 QB we look forward to feasting on whatever you trot out there next year when he's gone.

Carry on...and if you could read - this is a Maine thread - a team we're actually concerned about.

Well hello there new guy! Quite a ballclub ya got there in Norfolk - a great addition to the CAA. One hint, in the CAA (Delaware, William & Mary, etc.), unlike whereever daButterflies apparently used to play, we play football for 60 minutes...

But regardless, we're glad you're here. One suggestion, instead of finishing off that fancy futuristic mag-lev thingamajig you've got (the $14M+ Old Dominion University sign over Hampton Blvd), mebbe invest your hi-tech dollars in building something truly useful, like a time machine. That way you could go back to last week, when posters actually cared about this game...

Nice article earlier this week in the Wilmington News-Urinal about Maine TE and former Tatnall School standout Justin Perillo.

heh, ODU's still winless in the CAA.

West Chester scored more points against UD on offense. Pretty evenly matched with ODU on defense. That'd probably be a pretty good game, with my edge going to WCU. Even in Norfolk.

If ODU coulda easily won that game, why didn't they? The refs? Do you even watch CAA basketball games?

So happy to be done with the "tuneup" portion of our schedule. Bring on the real games! Maine's gonna be tough...nice weather up here this weekend, if the rain gets outta here.

It's tough to score when the refs call back your touchdowns and let the other team get away with murder (you didn't have a single holding penalty called all game despite our defensive line dominating your vaunted offensive line).

Regardless, you barely escaped at home against a team in its third year of existence......congrats!!! Must make you real proud that you've been playing football for how long and you could still barely beat us!

We win in Norfolk next year, no doubt about it and I am willing to make any bets you want to put my money where my mouth is. Will you ladies do the same? Doubtful.

[ODUfanRazor]

Razor has henis envy. We've seen it before.

I do? Thats news to me! We have a nicer stadium, we have a much nicer practice facility, we have a much better athletic program, we have an NCAA tourney calibur basketball team and the nicest basketball arena in the CAA, we have a pipeline to FBS talent in our own backyard, we took you guys to the wire in our very first freaking CAA game (on the road no less) and, oh yeah, we don't live in the freaking dump of a state known as Delaware, a national joke just like its favored son Joe Biden.

I wasn't kidding when I said we will soon be beating Delaware on a consistent basis, the only thing that's changed is that after our last game, the time table on that happening has moved up quite a bit and it will be much sooner rather than later that we are consistently owning UD in football just like we do in EVERY OTHER MAJOR SPORT WE FIELD!!!!

I'll take you up on that action, we'll discuss it next season. Right now, we're trying to figure out our way to the playoffs, something you wouldn't comprehend. Stick to the ODU threads - your penis envy is showing.

[ODUfanRazor]

Yea, clearly I can't comprehend making the playoffs as an odu fan....that makes slot of sense.

We just took a top 10 team in the country to the wire on the road. We need 4 wins to get into the playoffs.

Clearly we have NO shot whatsoever.....lol.

You can remember this thread next year, I'll remember it at the end of the season when we are in the playoffs lol.

Can you have penis envy of a program that is currently impotent (that goes for both your ancient fans and the cheapskates who won't pony up and support your program). That is a question for the ages lol.

You lost little man. Let that sink in.

[ODUfanRazor]

Oh my gosh!!!!!! I can't believe we lost on the road to the FCS runners up from last year and a current top 10 team in the country in our first caa road game despite having led in the 4th quarter! It's so terrible, we should be so embarassed lol.

Maybe I should pull up all the insanely stupid posts from Delaware fans predicting blowouts wins and let those "sink in" so you can see how stupid you were

nah, that would be a waste of time.

We will be just fine, don't worry about us. Enjoy your last couple years at the top of the caa ladies!

[Rob Iola]

somehow I'm sure you'll find the time...

good luck against UMass...

[LeadBolt]

I'm thinking that the UD-UMaine game will be a classic. I went with Maine because of how they played Pitt and how well they traditionally play at home, plus how hard it is to get to Orno can definitely affect a team. Anywhere else I would defintely pick Delaware. Hope it is a great game and no one gets hurt.

[bluehenbillk]

Should be a helluva game - this one & Richmond are the only 2 games left that give me concern. Tomorrow's game is huge in setting up the rest of the regular season & the postseason.

Blame the refs. How original. You do understand that the penalty in question is what allowed your QB to spring for that run, right? Your front 7 (linebackers included) sold out against the run and dominated our OLine at the LOS. You limited rushing gains. You had zero pass rush. None. Maybe one hurry caused by a WR running the wrong route. Tim Donnelly forgets what the FieldTurf feels like (even West Chester sacked him...hell, DelState sacked him TWICE!).

Regardless, you barely escaped at home against a team in its third year of existence......congrats!!! Must make you real proud that you've been playing football for how long and you could still barely beat us!

Thanks, but it's just another win. I remember when Albany was actually able to beat us in Delaware Stadium, something your team failed to do. Hell, I remember when Coastal Carolina was able to actually beat defending national champion JMU in THEIR 3rd year of existance, so your "we played you tough" comment is pretty pathetic. I was proud that a sub-par UD team (by our standards) was able to give a 50% maximal effort and still hang a double-digit win on a team that was playing their Super Bowl. Otherwise, I really don't feel any prouder about this than I did about beating URI in Newark last year (now THAT was a team that played us tough at home...when we were a better team. They actually had an offense).

We win in Norfolk next year, no doubt about it and I am willing to make any bets you want to put my money where my mouth is. Will you ladies do the same? Doubtful.

The "maybe next year?" invocation after one game?!? Wow. I'll take your advice on one thing--I won't worry about Old Dominion anymore. UD has a real game to play this weekend.

[93henfan]

I'll be in Norfolk next year, as long as it's a day game. There's no way I venture into that ghetto at night.

I'll second that. Told the wife the same thing. Worst than going to Villanova in Chester. Even with all the new facilities you can't put lipstick on a pig and make it pretty.

Worse than going to Chester? That may be a little bit of an exaggeration since Chester perrenially is in the ten worst cities in America for crime.
