Thank you!

Stony Brook shows series at 13-9 Danes.

[UAalum72]

Thank you!

Stony Brook shows series at 13-9 Danes.
I guess SBU was a club team in 1972-3, Albany went D-III in 1973.

Better than New York's oldest football rivalry between Union College and Rensselaer Polytechnic, who disagree on the scores and how many games were played in 1886, 1888 and 1901

[Gangtackle11]

We’ll see if the Mighty Delaware of Spring football can show up this Saturday or are their collective beaks broken for this season like 14 of the past 15.

Remember Nova is a basketball school. No way they can play with the historic Delaware football program. How can that be?

LOL.

Good luck dirty filthy bird fans!! xpeacex

Sitting Bull,
The UD/Nova matchup has been known as the "Battle of the Blue" since 2007. They play for the creatively named "Battle of the Blue Trophy".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Blue

Looks like Delaware can set the record for holding the trophy the shortest amount of time! 7 months and 3 days.
And I think our team is up to that challenge!

[CHIP72]

Critical game for the Wildcats on Saturday - if they beat UD in the Battle of the Blue, they probably are a top 8 playoffs seed, get a first round bye, and host a second round home game at Villanova Stadium on Saturday 12/4 (which coincidentally would probably be part of a basketball/football doubleheader at VU that day; Villanova basketball is at home against Big Five rival St. Joe's in the Holy War at 12 PM on 12/4). If Villanova loses, while they'd almost definitely still make the playoffs they probably wouldn't get a bye and it is very possible they would need to play on the road in the first round due to (IMO) a probable low host bid due to likely low attendance on Thanksgiving weekend.

This game will be tighter than that unless the Blue Hens have packed it in on Crock-o! Who’s next in New-ark? James Franklin?

You have made my season picking Maine now I all need is KPSUL to follow suit!!!
Be honest, don't think I could pick you guys even if I new you were going to win.
Realize a win today by you guys takes the sting out of a bad year, good luck.

Yeah I was rather frustrated writing Maine in… but thinking logically, worst UNH team in 20 years easily. Playing worse every game, third string QB making his first start, wasn’t that hard from an outsider point of view. Congrats though, I have a feeling we will be watching just JMU and Nova in the playoffs next week. The whole conference cannibalized itself this year.

[Gangtackle11]

You can set your watch to Nova beating the Dirty Filthy Birds. Only the 100 year pandemic got them a win in April. Not bad for the hoops school.

Want some good laughs head over to the Gohens website. Some good stuff there. xlolx

Hayek was the difference

Nova looked rather pedestrian for most of the game, Smith always looks to #11 when it counts

Gangy, your prepsters got a very nice bracket, looks like no road trips this year

Regionalization is a blessing for a Seeded East team for sure. More than likely headed to Sacramento if seeds hold.xpeacex

Thanks Sitting Bull! Also thanks for taking over this year, you've done a great job!

[paward]

Thanks for taking the helm on this. On a side note: UR leads W&M in wins, finally.

[Sitting Bull]

Of course

[Sitting Bull]

Yes, congrats for now. It was a tough game from W&M perspective. Players deserved to win that, London was out coached in my view.

Laycock reestablished the series lead for W&M, I’m afraid it will sink as long as London is there.

[caribbeanhen]

Of course

impressive!

and to echo what several have already said, great job taking this contest over this year

[CenMEBlackBearFan]

Thanks Sitting Bull for taking over. UNH18 needed a perfect 6 for 6 and picking Maine to do it wasn't bad either. Staying a point over Carribeanhen even sweeter.
