The 2008 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football team represented the University of Delaware in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) college football in its eighth season as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).
K.C. Keeler served as head coach in his seventh season since replacing the legendary Tubby Raymond. Since he took over in 2002, Keeler had twice brought the Blue Hens to the FCS championship game, and won in 2003. In 2007, the team lost in the final to Appalachian State. The 2008 season, however, would prove to be one of Delaware's worst seasons in its 117-year history. It is the only year that the Blue Hens have lost eight games.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.”

“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
