I'm not directing all of my dialogue here to you, you self centered so-and-so. :thumb:

There's plenty of mournful howling going on at GeritolHens.net, to justify my comments here. If only we could just talk about games from the '70s again, recalling the fond days of 3 channel television and nickel jukeboxes to go with our football program.

Like I said before, and I'm not sure you've done it yet, you should probably check out the replay of the Bucknell game on Hens All Access. I spent a good portion of the morning Sunday replaying all our offensive series, and I thought the O Line actually graded fairly well. There were some execution mistakes at crucial situations, and a few mistakes, but after watching it over I felt quite a bit better about what's happening there.

Get back Nihja and Boyle, give the the O Line another week of work together, work out some of the kinks in the hurry up, and I like what's forming there.

UD's defense has got better each week IMO.

The offense is still up & down - hopefully getting White & Boyle back this week helps as well as the OL isn't juggling anymore.

Special teams - wouldn't trade them for anybody - Baner best kicker in college football (note I didn't say FCS, i said college football).

The next two weeks.. @W&M and @UNH will tell us a lot more about what UD really is this season than did the first three weeks.

Which makes Keeler's decision even more curious to punt twice with potential FG attemps under 50 yds with a stiff breeze directly from the rear in the second half on Saturday.

Baner could have kicked the second one onto the BCC roof. Instead, we get a punt for a touchback and ten yards of field position. :doh:

Maybe. But that sure is a nice signature gif.

Yeah, us 0-3 teams are real barometers...
But what if W&M had played UD's shedule for the 1st 3 weeks and UD had played W&M's?

I think W&M would be 3-0 (don't think Bucknell is as good as Lafayette)

I think UD would likely be 1-2 (Lafayette is likely better than Bucknell but I think UD would have beaten them in a close one at home as oppose to lose to them in a close one at home like W&M).

1-2 is a reasonable guess, but 3-0 isn't out of the question. Maryland sucks and I'm not sure how good Towson is.
