Based upon the results, DSU may want to wait a few more decades before playing the Blue Hens again.

The Meac and the SWAC are probably the two worst sports conferences in the country. There schools are always 16th seeds in the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, the story about their baseball teams being majority white made the national news, and they rate as the worst universities in the nation for compliance with Title IX.

A college football fan, eh? Coooool.

* I agree that the new terminology for I-AA sucks.

* UD has the best overall attendance; two other schools occasionally have larger crowds for individual games.

* Even with Grambling opting out, having five or even four teams from the same conference in the championship series speaks to the strength of the CAA. I’ve seen every team play this season in person or on TV and the parity between the weakest and strongest is incredible. Even with three losses, UD got in on “the body of their work,” as the coach put it. Its three losses were by a total of 12 points.

* Readers might wonder what UD is doing wearing Michigan-style helmets. Here’s the answer.

Sports Illustrated had an article on the Blue Hens that reported that they have the best attendance of any of the I-AA (I refuse to use the new term) School.

The Colonial got an extra spot in the playoffs because Grambling St who won the SWAC always opts to play a money game for NBC against Southern instead of play in the playoffs.

I-AA used to be know as the white boy football because many of the teams are overwhelmingly white as compared to Division i-A.
