The CAA Today: A Game Of Inches
Terence Thomas, Sr. CSN CAA Today columnist

Can the fans of the CAA ask for a better start to the 2009 season?

There are two times a year when all CAA fans can root for one another. In the beginning of the season when most teams are playing against FBS or nonconference teams and at the end of the year during the playoffs and hopefully the national championship games.

During these times, the CAA teams and fans are one rooting for whichever CAA team is playing.

I certainly hope the write up for the Towsons, Northeasterns URi and lnon-ranked CAA teams get better than a generic sentence or two.

And I'd give CCSU a bit more credit than a 0 upset rating. What's it all or nothing?

UD just wants to fare well, and play the national champs close.

Yeah. No respect at all with a 0 upset rating, AT HOME. Being at home for Delaware I figured would get you a 4-5 automatically. xnonono2x

I really don't care about his rating but to say the team or fans are just looking to stay respectible will make me question anything he writes in the future. xcoffeex

[tribe_pride]

The fact is, UD is not expected to win although playing at home usually favors the Blue Hens. UD just wants to fare well, and play the national champs close. A blowout loss would be dissatisfying to the Blue Hen faithful. However, a close loss could boost prospects for the remainder of the season
Upset meter [0—-] Spiders 27 Blue Hens 10.


I think this article belongs in the FCS Smack section. No respect at all given to the Hens. xlolxxlolx

"UD just wants to fare well, and play the national champs close."

In all seriousness, who the hell is this guy? Look, I have no problem if people want to pick UR & pick them by 17-24 points, UD has to earn respect on the field. But, to say UD won't be sky-high for a chance to knock off the champs (READ: WIN), that's just uneducated.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Delaware is not lacking in bulletin board material for this game, are they? :D

[GannonFan]

Yikes, that's just brutal writing. As a Delaware fan, I'm hoping for a little more than just not being embarrassed. This guy ever been to Newark??

[93henfan]

I read the article before I read all the comments and all I can say is "ditto".

[andy7171]

Maybe he doesn't think anyone is reading his stuff that knows anything more about FCS than ESPN does.

[89Hen]

Hopefully one of you guys forwarded this to the team? :D

BTW, good to see you Sun.

Good question. I thought he was one of those Supreme Court dudes. xconfusedx :p

Terence Thomas, Sr. CSN CAA Today columnist

Let me begin by saying, “Hello,” and introducing myself to all of the fans of CAA Football as well as fans of college football in general. My name is Terence Thomas, Sr., and I, too, am a fan of the game of football. I played a year of Division III football as a 185-pound outside linebacker for Whittier College in fall 1979. I later transferred to Division I Cal State Univ Long Beach, but it did not work out for me. I continued to follow my 49ers until the football program folded. I coached my son in Pop Warner football for the West Windsor – Plainsboro Wildcats, from 1998–2002 and I still continue to coach at the Jr. Pee Wee level for the team.

That's one heck of a resume that guy has there. xlolx

[andy7171]

Here you go:
Well at least they didn't just pull some schmoe off the street. He played D.III and coaches Pop Warner!

[DTSpider]

To be fair - it's hard to follow Bruce Dowd. Bruce did great work covering the CAA and is going to be hard to replace.

A very good point. Although we might have gone from one extreme to another.

As much as we all love Bruce Dowd, he's been off base a few times as well. Two years ago he was writing the epitaph for the Tribe program, saying he doubted it would be competitive in the CAA again.

I'll offer my editing services to Terrence for $100 a week. If he agrees, I promise to re-write anything off the wall.

[Nebuta]

I am glad he coaches his son's pop warner team. He is ahead of the curve when it comes to scouting young CAA talent for the 2015 and 2016 season.

[BDKJMU]

Thomas appears to be a drop off from Dowd, but he's still better than Coulson.xnodx

I'm not going to bash Mr.C. He's alright in my book, just biased. xpeacex
