For various reasons I don’t have confidence that the President will make a well informed decision. Guilty until proven innocent. I don’t think this school had the personnel in place to make the move to division I in the first place. We compete in the CAA and we ain’t even close to former ODU, JMU and current Delaware. If you don’t want to compete with these types of programs then leave the CAA. It is her decision through the AD. If you are going to have a division I football program it needs to be important. If it is not important then don’t have it. Winning is everything. You need to find a winner. It can come from someone who is a coordinator but that only means so much. Whoever they get will know enough X’s and O’s. Recruiting and the philosophy of the type of player the coach likes and can realistically convince to come here is important. Most coaches are not successful. Not successful in our eyes (the folks that keep track of this program and look at the wins and losses). You can also recruit from a lower division perhaps someone that dominated. Most football coaches live and die with their ability to consistently find a QB. QB is a tough position. The most important position in any sport I can think of. Everyone wants them and there ain’t enough of them. I know I sound negative, however it is because I’m looking back at the history of athletics of the university. We need to stop bringing up division II and III accolades. The goal is to beat North Dakota State. If you start out thinking that this is not possible then move to a lower division or at least a lesser conference. We have an extremely weak local following and a season like this year is terrible for the program.

The first NCAA RPI was released today Towson is ranked No. 43. It is worth noting that Pittsburgh is No. 4 and was ranked No. 5 by the committee in the top 10 seedings they released this weekend. Delaware is the only other team in our conference under 100. The next best conference team is Northeastern at 156. Other notable teams we have played are Princeton at 92, Rutgers at 152, Bowling Green at 30 (which surprised me) and American at 103. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyball-women/d1/ncaa-womens-volleyball-rpi

I can spot some discipline issues within the locker room!

Soccer went 1-0-1 this weekend. 8-2-3 (1-1-2 CAA) Field hockey also won and improved to 4-6. 4 wins tiring the most in a season since 2011

Got to see the team play today. They had to fight a little harder than normal to win this one. Coach called a clutch timeout during the third set. They are now 16-0.

Pigrome should have never started. Start Smith the rest of the way. What college football team at any level passes for 62 yards with their starting QB that does not run the triple option? He is not a starting QB and never has been. This is just silly. I don’t want to hear he can run. BS. I see nothing. Just a stupid decision. I’m not saying we will win with Smith but at least he can throw down field and spin the ball. Get him some experience. What a complete disaster of a passing offense. The defense did fairly well and probably would have done even better had we had even an average passing game that could convert something. I watched a few FCS games today and it seems everyone I watched can complete a 10+ yard pass here and there except us. I just don’t get how we can field this type of passing game.
