Deleware and Deleware St. are gonna tear each other apart!!

[UNIMAN4]

I think if we can take care of biz vs. NH, this should be a pretty easy 2nd round matchup.

Anyone see the espn news articles of Del and Del St.???

THEY HATE EACH OTHER BIGTIME!! It's also racially motivated.

I just see a game where they are SO motivated, SO pumped up, that whoever wins will have a huge letdown in the dome!

Yes, even though it is the playoffs!

GO PANTHERS, BEAT NEW HAMP"SHER"!!!

I just saw on ESPN the two teams have never met before. I'm rooting for Delaware State.

Re: Deleware and Deleware St. are gonna tear each other apart!!

I've read a bit about not playing each other. I guess the Delaware QB said that until a couple weeks ago, he didn't even know they were there or some nonsense like that.

What's the racial component to all this?

as long as SIU isnt involved in UNIs quest anymore...its okay with whoever we play

Isn't Delaware State a "historically black college", or whatever they're called? According to their website, DSU was "Founded in 1890 as the State College for Colored Students"

Of course, according to that same webpage:

The university fields NCAA Division I-AA teams in men and women’s basketball, football, baseball, softball, track and field, tennis, wrestling, volleyball, soccer, equestrian, and bowling.

Didn't know they had I-AA equestrian and bowling

Could be quite the big rematch in the semifinal round...
However, that's looking a ways down the road.
Focus: Wildcats

Delaware will crush DSU, bottom line. Hopefully after this it will be all over.

They also do not have I-AA Track.

They also do not have I-AA Track.

obviously. I-AA/FCS is merely a football designation.
I was just picking out a few examples from their list.

I would say Delaware's position on Delaware State has been elitist and snobbish but not necessarily racist.

I would say UD's position on DSU is purely racist and they try and cover it up by being elitist and snobbish.

I assume you mean it would be an easy matchup, whether we play Delaware or Del State?

First of all Delaware will beat Del State. Soundly. Delaware's only losses are to NH and Richmond (2 playoff teams) and Villanova (should be in the playoffs). They beat FBS Navy.

So Delaware is very good, IMO. But I still think we would have the advantage in the Dome.

Why?

I hate it when everything is brought back to the race issue. I honestly dont think that Delaware is not playing Delaware State purely because its a black school. Theyre not playing Delaware State because they're afraid to lose to a school with less prestige than them in their own state. Its not because they're black.

I'm leaving to go to this game in about 10 minutes ... pretty excited ... I found some Hens fans to tailgate with prior to gametime

Re: Deleware and Deleware St. are gonna tear each other apart!!

How do you have two 1AA teams in a state like Delaware and not play each other...ever?

It would be THE intra-state match up.

There must be some bad blood here throughout the administration to not get this game together earlier.
