Tough Times at Univ of Delaware

Is this why Mr Chicken has been quiet? Tough times at Delaware, where they are touting an "extremely successful season" though the media doesn't believe that for a second?

UD athletics needs more to roar in the CAA

The fundraising brochure recently mailed out by the University of Delaware's Office of Annual Giving began with the following sentence underneath the heading "Athletics":

"It has been an extremely successful season for University of Delaware Athletics."

Someone either isn't doing their math or editing their copy because, taken as a whole, it has not been an "extremely successful season." At least, not if wins and championships, the traditional measures of athletic achievement, are the deciding factors.

KT wrote a good article.

However, we just beat UVA in the first round of the lacrosse championships. Smith is a monster on faceoffs.

The article is pretty much what I've been saying since we joined the CAA. It's not that I think we should be the #1 program in the CAA in every sport, but we're dead last in some and should be competing for championships in nearly every sport.
