The football gods have smiled upon Delaware, not only handing them an at-large playoff bid, but pitting them against Delaware State in the first round. The game will be played this, Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, at Delaware Stadium. The game will be televised on ESPN (the uno) at 1:30pm, but I'd like to get some people together to go down to the game. The Shade have already wussed out, but I am wondering if anyone else is up for the trip. Danielle can;t come, so I'd like some company.
Delaware has to play better than this past week against Villanova. They have to, right? Right?! The most interesting part of the game story was Keeler being quoted as saying, "I didn’t think anyone could do that to our offense." I'm not sure if he's referring to our own offensive coordinator/himself or the Villanova defense. Omar apparently was "hurt" with a back injury. I declare shenanigans, however. Either way it was his first game without a touchdown this season. A bunch of streaks, offensively got snapped yesterday. Oy! HOpefully, this sought-after matchup will change their attitude towards how they play.
On an aside, UMass and Richmond both tied for first in the CAA. They didn't play each other in the regular season, and all the normal tie-breakers had them even. So, the CAA commishes had to resort to a coin flip to decide who would receive the automatic berth into the playoffs. Both teams have home-field advantage, so it's not like it gave them anything exciting, but it made me laugh since we've been going through these tie breakers. Read more here.

We asked for it.

Cheryl and I are going. We'll buy tickets Tuesday. I was about to rush it and buy tomorrow, as some thought it might sell out quick, but I reminded them how we've never come anywhere close to selling out a playoff game.
A couple guys in my family will probably want to go. Maybe my sister. Depending on the weather forecast, we may want to do a full tailgate.
We asked for it? Maybe you did, but I contend that even now no one freaking cares. Except Del St. If the UD players gave a damn they would have played their way into the game, instead they let the Wildcats us them as a litter box. UD ought to invite the Del St players over for Thanksgiving and give thanks by worshipping at their feet. Del St is the only reason UD is in the playoffs. They certainly done deserve to be there, but ESPN wants a storyline. There must already be sideline reporters crawling all over Newark looking for racist UD fans who have been donating to the school for years, but now will not give another cent.
