I was there from 91-96’ and I have so many fond memories of Towson. Can’t mention them all but there was a professor who taught I want to say the Psychology of Sport.. Dave ? I believe. Such a fun class and I wish I could go back in time to relive a discussion or two that class had pre internet etc. Silence of the Lambs had previously come out so being a freshman in Tower A we were told that Hannibal Lector was roughly based on a multiple group of individuals one of which was housed at Shepherd Pratt Hospital at one time.. Lastly and this kinda shows our age etc. We had a small yet elegant theater on campus (? in which hall) but they would show movies that had just left the theater but not yet gotten to VHS or cable tv and it was usually a Saturday evening schedule and I remember seeing Rudy and various other flicks. Sliding down the hill next to the Towers when it snowed and seeing some students use their mattresses. I loved the dining hall food and being there when it was raining or snowing cause you could see all around in that fish bowl. Saw Peter Noon at the Towsontown Festival one year. Three Dog Night as well I believe. Being at the Louisville game and Denny Crum wearing his jacket etc. Walking back after in amazement that we had upset them. If only I could go back in time and take down more names of friends and acquaintances so I could find them on social media now and reconnect. My lasting memory is how many sincere good people went to Towson State that I trusted and always enjoyed interacting with. Special place in my eye.

Good teams have to worry about trap games, we are not good.

So you know what that means.. Work in the building next to it. Line was wild yesterday. Have been to a few when in the south. It’s regular chicken tenders, their sauce, crinkle fries, Texas toast and cole slaw. That’s the entirety of the menu. Give me zaxbys or bojangles instead

Hmm. The theater inside the mini mall up from Borders Books? I remember!

Yes, Dr. Dave Zang, loved his classes, he was a HUGE Phillies fan which fueled our relationship as well!

Dr. David Zang is I think who you were talking about. I had him as well as part of my Sports Management track. I was there from 1993-97. The Shepherd Pratt incident and the Louisville win are definitely things that resonate from my time there, as do the movies you are talking about. They also had cheap movies at the theater by Pizzeria Unos midway between campus and the Towsontown mall (I can't remember if they were 10 pm or midnight) that were cheap movies that were on there way out of the theater (I actually worked at that theater at one point). My friend was the sports anchor for TSTV, and I worked with him and one of the other posters on this board from the America East Basketball Tournament in 1996 where we interviewed Jay Wright (Hofstra), Mike Brey (Delaware) and all of the other coaches. We also covered the Towson-Drexel semifinal in 1995, which I still believe to this day ranks as one of the more talented, yet once-gain disappointing, Towson teams since I have followed the program.

Mama there goes that man again!

For all those following. Seems like our always interesting point forward may be back

Yeah, I enjoyed him as a professor because he wouldn't let you be comfortable thinking your own opinion was right. No matter what you thought about anything he would challenge you to think deeper about it and make you back it up with facts and good reasoning. We all think we are right about everything when we are in college (or on a message board 😀). It was good to have someone make you wrap your head around another perspective and challenge your own thinking. I definitely appreciated his teaching style.

That’s him. Good memory-you described him to a tee. I see him at just about every football & basketball game. I was also a Mass Comm major in Van Bokkelen Hall.

Stand by for his announcement that he’s elected to start immediately collecting his social security benefits, rather than deferring for a few more years
