Re: Delaware fans are like.....

I had no idea how much an East Coast bias would come with this game. I like the Colonial for what they've done in basketball over the last few years and they've obviously got some FCS powerhouses in football... but do they really think the Gateway is bad? We get multiple teams into the FCS play-offs every year and just a few years ago we got 4 of our 8 teams in the play-offs.

I think Delaware went 1-3 vs. the FCS play-off teams from their conference this season. How would they have done in the Gateway? I don't know, but I have always felt that the Gateway teams have kind of beat up on each other in conference season and that hurt us for more bids when at-large spots were handed out.

I tired getting that point across last night to blackisbeautiful about how we beat each other up and dont get as many bids but there was no way i could get that across to him.

STUPID EAST COASTERS

[Tango Charlie]

East Coast Folks

Many, many years ago, during a time called the "Draft Dodging" era I went to a college in Missouri. Being a high school athlete I wanted to play this dodging game. I packed my bags, left the farm and enrolled at a Missouri University. I then waited to be "Shown"/(Educated). Many of my older friends attended this school so I felt secure being among these Missourians. One friend even took me under his wing(I supppose much like an old Blue Hen would) to "show" me the ins and outs of college life.

Being from rural Iowa I hadn't been around foreigners very much, except for my mother, who was from England. I was soon to be introduced to some foreigners in my dorm. While they looked like you and me they spoke a very peculiar language. Some words I remember are: dis & dat, dem & doz, and youse guys. They called Pop soda, and called all soda Coke. They would ask for a Seven-Up Coke, or a Dr. Pepper Coke, strange. When speaking of home they mentioned their mudder and living at toyty toyd and toyd street out near the wudder wurks. Very peculiar these foreign folks. I asked my friend about them and he said they were from a place called the East Coast and were called Jersey-sons-a-b****es. I asked why, and he said because they were loud, rude and crude.

As time went by I became friends with a Jerseyite named Milk(jersey-milk) with no first name, just the letter J., strange. Another guy I met was from of all places Delaware. I looked on a map to see where this Delaware was. A very small place, it reminded me of the back forty with water. The only big city was Wilmington and it really was just part of Philadelphia. I thought this was good since Philadelphia was the "City of Brotherly Love". I later learned that San Francisco took this title away from them. I thought Delaware must be a strange place too since this fellow had two first/last names. He was named George T. George. George was a winner at the dodging game and got his B.A. He married a Missouri girl and promptly moved, but not back to Delaware. They settled in a place of many names. This place is often called God's Country, Beautiful Land, or Land between two Waters. Yes, they settled in I O W A. So George George became an Iowa teacher/coach and had may little Georges (before the Foreman Grille).

I was to meet up with a lot athletes from: PA.,NY.,NJ., and DE. While they were loud and a little rude they turned out to be pretty good guys, these Jersey-Sons-A- b****es.
(Remember the old camp fire song what did Della Wear ? She wore a brand New Jersey.)

The Moral to the story; when you cut through the crap and ignore the few a** holes on web sites these East Coast guys are O.K.


After one year in Missouri I had been"shown"enough and I headed North to The State College of Iowa. SCI ! SCI ! SCI ! SCI !

PS: I also "won" at the dodging game but that's another long story.

Re: Delaware fans are like.....

No, actually, our board works real fine once you're enrolled. Or admin guy did what he did as a quick-and-dirty fix. Not sure if he has other plans.

Some of us come here to echange information and perceptions. Some come to taunt and talk smack. I guess you need to decide what's what.

For identification purposes, my statements clearly were intended to be smack.

Re: Delaware fans are like.....

So what you are saying is that because you all lack the ability to make an effective message board, you have to invade the boards run by more intelligent people educated at better schools? Rough man. That sucks.

Better school? not quite. do your research.....

Delaware falls somewhere between Iowa and Iowa State in the rankings of National Universities.

Good, but hardly anything to scream from the mountain tops.

UNI is the #2 Public Midwestern University. Not a research institution, but in terms of instruction, it is at worst Delaware's rival.

Oldhen, this would be one fun week and game. Sadly, the voice of reason and intellect gets lost in static and useless noise.
