I smell an upset brewing today! You heard it here first!

L take. I started Towson in 2012. Miss these days. A lot of us did make it to the game. Create an environment and they will come.

I don't know what keeps me going other than the fact that I've witnessed 16 straight years of losing basketball. If I didn't quit back then, after watching dreadful basketball, then what's the point? I always saw a glimmer of hope I guess. What made me fall in love with the program was back when I was a student. I was able to take a trip to Dayton in 1991 with the basketball team and broadcast our loss to Ohio State. I also stayed in Syracuse for three days to broadcast the 1991 championship game against North Carolina (loss). The basketball program won three straight conference titles while I was there. The baseball team and men's soccer team won the East Coast Conference titles. Even the gymnastics team, which I covered for the Towerlight, went to the national championship. Everything basically went downhill after I left except for the football program, which went from getting cut in 1990 to going non-scholarship in the mid-nineties to making the FCS title game in 2014. You can't even write a story about what that program has been through. I always felt that somebody should cover this program because Maryland has about 10 blogs. I guess I like the hobby and distraction. I'll be there tomorrow at SECU right before and during the NFL games (which I love watching and will DVR), trying to check out MBB practicing about 2 months after I watched them during the summer. I guess you have to love the program to sacrifice a small part of your NFL Sunday to watch practice.

Told ya…trust the alum!! Great win!

I had that thought too. Teams bounce back with a vengeance after an embarrassing loss. UNH isn’t that good, Goh tigers!

I’ll have what you’re having

Lol wtf does arete even mean? Play lackluster uninspired football?

I can’t imagine how unhappy this made you ….

ARETE!! Let’s try and keep this one within 30!

Saturday the cats are playing the cats! One will be a big cat and one a big pussy!

Nepotism! Lol jk good for him. I wasn’t sure where he would end up, glad it’s still in md. Thought maybe he would end up coaching West Florida or something

Hoops? When I went it’s uncw. But Charleston is now there too (pretty much sold out their season tickets). Kaplan hall, while strange, on a Saturday afternoon game when the tribe were competitive, got pretty packed and was loud with all the old geezers. For football it’s Delaware obviously. Lots of alum and common fans. Their students have a trek to get to the stadium too and most leave early. WM also has a nice tailgate scene. But again it’s alum and casual fans not students. They don’t care about fcs. ** ** not including Jmu for obvious reasons the worst atmospheres, Mathew’s arena and Villanova. This may break your hurt but there’s one small lot to tailgate there. And it’s for season ticket holders. That’s it. This was a few years back ~2017

Since ironically enough an article came out, asking if Towson will ever go big, the same week we get embarrassed by a meac school, it has me thinking about to the hierarchy of the caa “all sport members.” Which teams are most attractive and willing to move conferences. Not necessarily FBS Based off of, performance, facilities, fan support, sports offered, academics, $, markets. Etc Tier 1: Delaware. Charleston. Uncw. Tier 2: WM Stony Brook, Elon, Tier 3: Monmouth Tier 4: Hofstra, NC A&T, Towson Tier 5: NE, Drexel. Campbell, Hampton Campbell is too new and an unknown but seems like they really put and investment into athletics so they will likely jump up a bit shortly.

Your words. Yes, he/she has been advocating for the demise of our Football program.

To want Towson to the be the best university and athletics department that it can be. That includes holding people accountable and criticism when it’s needed. But runda will say it’s to cut our awful football program ..

Thanks for your positivity. I think most of us that have been on here over the years , have figured out that you have an agenda.

Actually, the ‘11-‘13 campaigns saw 5k in student attendance. Sure, they may have left at halftime, but it was a great atmosphere. Tailgating means everything to college football and the general student population. Winning is not as big a factor as you may believe. Nobody cares about Towson vs Norfolk or Bryant or Monmouth. The average student would have some interest in a game against ‘Nova, JMU, Richmond, W&M, ODU and Delaware. The current CAA not a sustainable model.

They should have encouraged it! This was the only time as (Brad pointed out) that people were excited to get out to Unitas EVER towson should have doubled down on athletics around 2013 when T-west and Bennimon were giving us the best years of our lives. the new union and campus improvements are beautiful, enrollment is up to the highest level ever, Wall Street Journal voted us the #1 university in Maryland, but somehow we can’t get any folks to care about the football game

Back in my day this is what a towson tailgate looked like. You and your new 18 year old freshman buddies would show up to the parking lot with whatever beer/liquor you had and a DJ was there providing the beats to jump up and down too. That was all we needed to have fun and look there were hundreds of us there having a great time! Too bad this was deemed so unacceptable we can’t allow this type of fun anymore
