Damn, I had no idea it was that close. Seriously when I first started here I thought to myself..."How the hell can someone have that many posts" and at the time you were probably more around 12K. xlolxQuote:

Delaware did have a reasonable argument about making the playoffs in 2017, and there were factors that should have favored Delaware over UNH primarily the head-to-head win. However, Danny Rocco was way out of line to make it merely a Delaware vs UNH thing - which in fact he publicly did. UNH did have an FBS win and we beat 7th ranked Elon in the 2nd to last game. To finish the 2017 story, UNH shutout NEC Champ Central CT in Round 1 (I'm pretty sure they were a ranked team at season's end - one of the better NEC Champs) We then beat SL Champ Central Arkansas who was undefeated in conference play and Seeded 4th I believe. The next week we were soundly beaten in the place your Hen's are playing this Saturday. We ended up the season ranked something like 7th - bottom line? Our playoff performance proved that there were a bunch of at-large teams not as good as UNH in the 2017 playoff.Quote:

But for the record, Marty Scarano is a great guy and a dedicated AD. You'll find him on the sidelines, or even sitting in the stands for all UNH sports talking to fans, students and players. He's very personable and easy to strike up a conversation with. He's loyal and supportive of his coaches - some think a little to much so.
CCSU sat their QB (the school's all-time leading passer) due to an off campus party. 😭 Our #2 QB was a frosh who hadn't taken amore than 6 snaps all season. We lost 14-0.
Why did one of the biggest partying generations in history decide that it was not OK for quarterbacks to party anymoreQuote:

Perhaps the game would have been different had the CCSU starting QB played. But you never know when it comes to backup QBs, UNH starter Trevor Knight left our Central Arkansas game in the 1st half due to injury and his backup, Christian Lupoli, played most the game throwing for only 63 yards. You might know about Lupoli, he was from CT - same HS as UNH QB (2013-14) Sean Goldrich. Lupoli left UNH after the 2017 and played very well for a Div. 2 program in CT, I think maybe New Haven?Quote:
