Exactly, don’t focus on Baltimore/Towson residents. It’s gotta be Towson students first and foremost then alum. Campus keeps growing. There are 5,000 new students this year alone. Get them to Johnny U!

NCAA Tournament is the main goal, but my checklist for the year would be: 1) Win at least nine games in non-conference play 2) Beat at least one of Northern Iowa, Clemson or UMass (who should be a lot better this year under Frank Martin) 3) Finish in the top 80 of the NET ranking (preferably top 60) 4) Win a second regular-season title (and try to do it in a somewhat dominant fashion) 5) Make the finals of the conference tournament (since we haven't done that since 1992) 6) Make the NCAA Tournament I realize No. 6 is the main goal, but these other checkmarks are part of the journey of a successful season. I would be ecstatic if we made the NCAA Tournament and will celebrate it with everyone else here, but frankly I would be disappointed if we made the tournament as 15 or 16 (I know beggars can't be choosers) and got crushed. I think it is important to beat good teams to build experience to gain confidence in those situations, build a good resume to give ourselves a shot to be decently seeded if we can make the tournament, and try to establish some dominance in the conference. Frankly, I think having the NCAA Tournament be the only thing that defines success is short-sighted, but yes like the rest of you it will be a disappointment if we don't make it. We started hitting a lot of checkmarks of being a successful program last year, but obviously missed the big one. I think we need to hold our program to the standard that all these things should be expected and the more checkmarks we hit during the year the better shot we have of being ready to achieve our goal of the making the NCAA Tournament, and who knows maybe winning a game. That is the way we should be thinking.

Yes NCAA or bust. For his twitter, it's cringy to me.. just give an intern the login.

1-10 teams can surprise you -- witness our turnaround from 2010 to 2011. But my expectation is a Towson win despite some uneven play.

Yes, good more changes, please. Even if they all fail at least we are trying to not just be status quo.

It's clear we are never going to be in the new college football Super League so for me I like us being good at this level; whatever that is. I see FCS (likely non-Super League FBS too ) just becoming like minor league baseball or hockey. Those teams turn over every year and most players don't make it to the show but the community gets excited when the team is good. Every once in a while a kid clearly will become a star and you follow them and cheer for them as they move along. I never cared about UVA but when Shane went there for the covid season I followed them. Super League = MLB/NHL FBS Group of 5 = AAA/AHL FCS = AA/ECHL Who doesn't love a good Baysox game? Just be that and people will be happy. Now Marketing, realizing, becoming that, and listening to fans, etc. - that's the achilles heel of Towson. We are always caught in the middle with endless higher education bureaucrats either 1) thinking we are going to be something to the greater Baltimore area or 2) will kill any sense of fun/school pride the second a drunk student sets foot in a parking lot. If we can ever realize no one in Baltimore or even Towson city cares about Towson unless they went there and focus on building our alumni and student engagement we can have an avid fanbase without being on ESPN in with a 100,000 person stadium.

promotion has always been poor. Would be nice to have more home games that students can attend but I’ll take games on the road against good teams rather than Morgan Umbc and goucher at home. Should be a very good and exciting team which hopefully gets more than the 700 usually butts in seats Pat on Twitter is good. He’s been engaging with other fan bases too. NCAA or bust.

Might be the only fanbase that would take a dump on winning a regular season championship and earning a ring for those efforts.

I assume he is a better coach than actor. Yes it is good to celebrate a Regular Season Conference Championship but we all know it means nothing as far as the NCAA Tournament is concerned. Let's get a ring to celebrate the making it to the dance in 2022-2023 season.
