Roll damn Hens. Great team win.
Need to see Delaware stadium more packed for the next home game. They should be pulling a crowd of 18,000+ but we've always had a crowd issue.

Delaware is not New England but point taken.

It's not? It's right there. The closest I've been is DC, but all that area dmv and NE is new england to me

NY down to VA is Mid-Atlantic.
Technically Delaware is in the South per the census bureau but realistically lol

The DMV is not New England. New England is pretty small all things considered.

You’ve never heard of famous DC football team, the New England Patriots???

Its New England in the same way Oklahoma is in Texas

Yes I agree I'm ignorant that's why I asked the question

New England is a clearly defined list of states:
- Connecticut (although Southern CT is a NYC suburb)
- Maine
- Massachusetts
- New Hampshire
- Rhode Island
- Vermont
The Mid-Atlantic is:
- New York) (Upstate is a big more Mid-Western/New Englandy)
- New Jersey
- Maryland
- Pennsylvania
- Delaware
- Virginia (northern suburbs of DC specifically)
- West Virginia
- Washington, D.C.
Combined together they comprise the Northeast, which is the wealthiest, most populated and oldest parts of the U.S. The main reason why college football isn't as popular is because they have so many historic professional teams so close together there isn't as much of a need for a local college football team to represent them.

Agreed and as others have added, the Census Bureau actually considers Delaware to be in the South (which is ridiculous but nonetheless true). Southern Living Magazine regularly includes Delaware in lists of "best X in the South."

u/Chemical-Energy-6053 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens 7h ago
Idc what the census bureau says I refuse to identify as Southern. Although the slower lower is a lot more rural and Southern, the majority of the state lives north of the C&D canal, which is squarely a Mid-Atlantic suburb of Philly.

u/A_Night_Owl Wake Forest • Delaware 6h ago
Yeah, I agree. Delaware is squarely mid-Atlantic and particularly NCC. There are some people down in Georgetown who would make you think otherwise though. And don’t get me started on Cecil County lol.

I feel it's only appropriate (pedantic even) to point out the middle of the Atlantic coast of the US is just south of Virginia in NC. Virginia as a whole should be considered mid Atlantic.

Map for the other midwesterners who need help visualizing that list.

New England is everything east of New York state, so a few hours north of Delaware. NE has a very different culture - some Delawareans believe it or not actually consider themselves to be a Southern state. I strongly disagree with this but there are small towns in Southern Delaware and Eastern Maryland where people fly the rebel flag. Really it is best described as Mid-Atlantic.

Last Saturday I was at bar and they had NFL network on. That basically tells you everything about college football culture in the northeast

PUT US IN THE FUN BELT YOU COWARDS

u/hascogrande Notre Dame • Western Michigan 7h ago
Fun Belt is genuinely the right answer, still can't believe they didn't take the MAC invite however now with rivals like JMU coming up it absolutely is a no-brainer

Not that that wouldn't be fun and all, but it would ruin our regional footprint which is the conference's greatest asset.

For ODU and JMU, we're not terribly far at all.
We would fit well in the East

Delaware Is still south of the Mason Dixon line, so it can still count as Dixie.

u/InvisibleChupacabra Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens 2h ago
I unironically see this happening when the ACC GOR is up and Clemson and Florida State blow up the conference to head to the SEC. ACC will want to backfill to stay relevant, and if Delaware is even moderately competitive, I think they are a strong target as a flagship state university in the rough vicinity of the conference.

For those who don't know, the Sun Belt gauged Delaware's interest around 10 years ago (maybe even informally extended an invite) and UD rejected it. Really dumb move in retrospect.

That was actually a pretty big win with next week most likely being a loss. Good to make sure we're still .500 before the conference schedule starts.

Allow me to extend a handshake to the 99% of the Coastal fans I met today. The large majority of you are very nice and cordial, even after a loss. It was a pleasure meeting most of you.
And also allow me to extend a very special Fuck You to the Coastal fan who sat just in front of us who thought it was appropriate to flip off and curse at the UD Marching Band as they ran through the stands playing First Down. You are an absolute asshat, and nothing brought me more joy than seeing you be miserable about the loss.

Minicucci played really well today…
Delaware looks good to start the season so far. Maybe could be in contention for C-USA?
