Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

Didn't UNH's TE have a good day last week? That said, our quickness at LB will definitely help. .

It'll be a matchup that bears watching. It's favored us in just about every game, so far, and our OC *always* looks to exploit it.

No prediction here, but should be a very close ballgame between two great teams.

Absolutely!

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

The squawking Cyan Chickens get the opening kickoff, fumble it, and it is returned for a UNI TD. Then Brannon Carter picks off Flacco's first pass and returns it 32 yards for the next UNI TD. After the chicks lay a 3 and out egg on the next series, C Lew takes over and chews the clock. We'll give up a couple scores throughout the game, but here's the end result:
UNI 42
UD 28

Hey whitey81,
Never had a stein pizza with a soda, thought you had to have cheap beer for that. 4 years at UNI and I just learned the stein sold pepsi. (from an earlier post).

It came with the pie. Considering we got one virtually every night, I couldn't drink that much beer and still stay eligible...

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

Were you looking at yourself in the mirror and posing while you were typing that? I almost thought Lassie was going to come save you! Dawg, let the football thing go. You aren't in the NFL, Arena Ball, CFL, or that new Japanese league. Adult Flag football was your destiny like all of the rest of us.

Now look DOWN and make sure those fries aren't burning and grab my quarter pounder!

"DAWG", i'm just trying to give a perspective from a former players POV. But based off of my post, what was there to "look at myself in the mirror and pose"about? IF you could read, I was responding to deke's prediction that UD gets up early and the you all come back to win. Then I was referring to an instance where we blew a 21 point 4th quarter lead the last time we were in the quarterfinals of the playoffs, which Whitey mentioned a time when he played and had a similar situation as me. What, didn't feel like saying anything to him? How did your playing days go? Once you have a successful college career and a degree, you hang them up and focus on a new career which I have done. And I SERIOUSLY hope you are not in an adult flag football league.

Clearly you have issues if you are out of school, if you went of course, and are still eating quarter pounders and fries which=fatsh!t. Trying reading before you write something again so it actually makes some sense.

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

I just think it's funny since none of these Hen fans have seen UNI play this year...they're predicting a blow-out vs. the only undefeated team left in the play-offs. I'll be honest, this game makes me nervous, but I think this game will be close.

I see it as you guys are number 1 for a reason. plain and simple. You are in the position you are in now because you have earned it. I haven't seen UNI play but I don't need to to know they are a very talented football team on both sides of the ball and the coaching staff. I'm glad we have the playoff system. I mean look at Hawaii. Granted they are not in the SEC, but no one has yet to beat them and they will get shafted out of the title game. Our system proves who the best team is for the most part. Obviously I am a UD alum so I want us to win. But this game in no way will be a blow out in my opinion. If you win, you earned it and if you don't, you still had a remarkable season that not a lot of teams can say they had.

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

Okay, I'm not going to make a prediction for score but UNI should win, we are simply the better team. Delaware is on par with New Hampshire. The difference between the two? UNH played the other 4 "playoff" teams from the CAA, UD did not have to play UMass. UNH was 1-3 against those teams with all losses on the road, UD was 1-2 against the teams they played, including a home loss. Had UD played the same schedule as UNH, they would have been 7-4 and probably out of the playoffs. They will have to play their A game to stay with UNI. UNI played a B, maybe at best a B+ game against UNH and still won despite UNH throwing their A game at us.

Bottom line, we are better. We fix the errors on special teams and don't turn the ball over, we win. It'll be a good game, but more fun for us.

Just a point of clarification, we were down 21 pts at half and came back. Sounds like you guys gave up the 21 lead...

shush, you've been one of the few good Hen posters here this week. I've felt similar blasts when I post on your board, out of the blue (no pun intended) The week is coming to an end and the game nearly here...nerves are frayed, everyone's chest is inflated. I believe the UNI fans are the best in the country as you believe the Tubbies(is that what they're called?)are the best.

Will be a great game

GO PANTHERS!!!

Watched the UNH/UNI replay last night and all I could think about was the missed opportunities. Halftime could have easily been 20-7 UNI, end of 3 could have been 34-7. Does UNH still score on 3 of their last 4 possesions? It wouldn't have mattered. I give UNI a C+ for the UNH game. It certainly would have been a very depressing end to the season.

This week the cat nap ends...

I gotcha. Yea we had our lead with the ball at the start of the 4th quarter and stopped running the football. regardless, I had a fun career, and enjoying post football life now so even when i did play and someone tried to knock on me, its in one ear and out the other. Unless someone targets my family, i've got no problems with someone trying to rip on me because i will do it right back for fun.

As for our fans, i've yet to hear tubbies. just flat out crazy a$$ people for hen fans. It will be a fun saturday this week especially with all of this build up.

I agree...we've regained our focus, our tempo, our resolve, and our wind after last week's game - the Cats will be fully charged and ready for the Hens...it's going to be a great game, and now after waiting ALL week, I'm almost HAPPY it's a 1 PM start. Go Panthers!

Shush, in the interest of promoting good fan relations, if you're in the Chicago area you're welcome to join myself and a few Panther alumni in the Wrigleyville area for our gamewatch. We watched the YSU game at Irish Oak on Clark St., and it worked out well as they're not affiliated with any Big Ten alumni association so we had our run of the place and could turn up the play by play. Either respond back or PM if interested.

Edit: One more thing...make sure you leave your small town/state naivete' back in Delaware. Chicago's a metropolitan city, so I'd hate for you to be overwhemed and get lost or mugged (seriously meant as a joke, and in good fun).
