Offline Offline CLK you continue to amaze all of us with your finds!!! Thanks for sharing as usual!! How are you at recruiting? Offline Thanks Judge,ย I will try to do better on Football recruiting. Offline Offline Offline CLK We continue to be amazed by your finds and thanks for sharing!!! Btw how are you with recruiting? ๐ Offline Nice to see the attention.ย But remember, Duquesne beat Ohio University, not Ohio State.ย Put it in perspective. Offline Good point Bilgy and I admit that I am perhaps overly excited about this because it is our first FBS win. You could argue that getting our first NCAA playoffs win against Towson was a bigger program win and maybe go all the way back to beating D3 power CMU as a great program win but we beat a team by 2 on a day Notre Dame beat a team by 3 from the same conference... the MAC. I sincerely believe that the local media is just starting to find out that we play D1 football and have scholarships!! Getting our first Steeler since the 50s has helped too but I agree with you that it is a matter of perception and perspective! We need to keep progressing and a win over Youngstown St would be nice and of course another NCAA playoffs appearance! Thanks for your posts too! Offline Nice to see the attention.ย But remember, Duquesne beat Ohio University, not Ohio State.ย Put it in perspective. Here's a little "perspective" to keep in mind.ย Ohio University operates their football program with an annual budget of $8 to $9 million annually.ย They give out 85 full scholarships.ย I believe that the Dukes are operating at half those numbers, somewhere around $4 million budget and 40-45 scholarships spread around to multiple players.ย When you beat a program, on the road, that has double the resources that you have, that is a very impressive win for the Dukes' football team. Offline Haha CLK I meant how are you at finding players??? If you are as good at finding players as you are at finding information KD Dan Jerry and the rest of our coaches should hire you!!! Haha ๐ thanks for sharing as always and we get so much more good information on this site because of you and others!!! Offline Phoenix thanks for sharing this information too and I get a little crazy sometimes when it comes to our football program and appreciate your pointing out those differences in our program relative to OU! For all the good press coming from the win, Iโm disappointed in the local coverage. Local news only Channel 4 mentioned it. Little to no Twitter reaction by local sports media.

Haha, I don't think coach Schmidt would want me recruiting football player.ย However, I might be able to suggest some bball recruits to coach Dambrot with all the basketball recruiting sites I follow.ย Just kidding. A83 he was probably working on it for a couple of days. God article by Tim. I was coming to eat crow and post the link myself. Thank you. Offline A83 I think in general you are right about the poor coverage, but I think the Trib is pretty good in covering the Dukes given the limited resources and staffing cuts common today.

Letโs take a pause and think if it was RMU that did this. Tim Benz would have 15 articles about it and the SEC would be on their doorstep. RMU basketball has never beaten a ranked opponent and we still hear about the NIT win at home over and unranked Kentucky. Kentucky cared so little they gave them the home game rather than look for an alternative site in Lexington.
And now itโs the communities responsibility to keep their hockey programs a float. As we speak Iโm sure Tim Benz is writing another article about it.
How do you get to be a media darling like them?
