Can't wait for tonight. Leaving work early so I can get home, pick up the kids, beat the Friday night rush hour traffic, and be down there for kickoff. Hate the 6PM start on a Friday night, especially since it's almost an hour and half for me to get down there normally, but I gotta get my Blue Hen fix.

You might want to leave extra early. The I-95 Friday traffic through Wilmington to Newark is typically brutal beginning at 3:30.

[zymergy]

Thankfully I get off at 3:30. Gonna go home and see if my oldest wants to come with me and grab camera. We should setup a AGS/Gohens meeting spot or something. Be nice to meet some faces behind the names.

[henfan]

I had this all set and then it rained last Monday night. My boy's baseball game was rescheduled for this evening. Ouch!

Oh, I know, just nothing I can do about it, except hope for the best and pick the correct lanes/routes to get there. Actually, I'm more concerned about southbound traffic on the Blue Route - it's a longer piece of road with far less options.

[bluehenbillk]

Woohoo, leaving work at 2:30, will be tailgating in the Gold Lot.

The Wildcats only reason to take that taxi might be to put a C-note down on the games outcome. If the NCAA bullies stick to their guns, and the First State goes through with sports betting, the Hens will be packing their parkas for any meeting with UNH.

[ChickenMan]

Devlin looked very good last night.. very accurate.. with an ability to make all the necessary throws.. 24-31 for 304 yrds.

Great to see ya got the swagger back, MR. CHICKEN (wiff all CAPS, ovah courseah). From what I saw Friday night, it looks like the Henhouse will be rockin' this fall. I haven't seen hittin' like that in a Spring football game since the days of one Harold (Tubby) Raymond. When ya stop and think about all the talent that was standing on the sidelines recovering from previous injuries and combine it with what was on the field playing, it gets scary. IF Devlin stays healthy, IF the oline improves a little between now and September and IF UD can survive the CAA wars each week, look out. By far, it was the best performance in a spring game that I've seen in a long time. Let's hope they are that ready to play when the games count.

[Tubby Raymond]

You guys are whistling past the graveyard.

As good a Devlin looked, he will be running for his life with as porous as that o-line looked. We might see Hakes sooner than we should.

Don't rain on this parade yet. Maybe they use that porous line to open up the screens and slant passes.

The keys will be How fast he releases! and How accurate he throws !

Go Hens...... and GO APP !!!!

[Henwatcher]

Not quite sure I follow all yourah lingo there, MR. CHICKEN. I didn't get to hear the National Anthem because I was out in the BBQ tent making sure all the poke chops, ribs and wings were gettin' just the right amount of sauce applied for the post game party. Got into the stadium just in time to see Duncan take the opening kickoff down I-95. I don't know about the " lovely chickies" part either. The only chickie I saw there sure didn't look lovely to me. Did the coaches really sing the National Anthem? Who is coach Sukennah? Moo cows from Japan, Robscott & gate lads...huh? I guess it's a little too early on a Sunday for me to figure all that out, MR. CHICKEN.

Sounds like you guys found a good QB from what Mr. Chicken has to say.

I'm looking forward to getting down there this year.
