It’s bucknell. Probably the worst or second worst offense we play all year…

I’m negative. Everyone knows that. Someone give me something positive besides it’s one game closer to the end? 🙏🏼 . 

You’re not wrong but I just don’t look forward to hearing you say the same thing over and over again for the next 10 weeks.

I can’t see this team not being hungry again.   We didn’t DANCE and they all know this.  Our team and entire fanbase has a chip on their shoulder still.  
I don’t remember one game last season where this core of players didn’t play hard and fight to get the win.  We are still the “hunters” in my opinion!  Rocky 2!

What fanbase?

I’m liking this Goh Tigers marketing blitz. Wish we had called up the comedian, Stavros from Greektown to really hit the hard Baltimore O’s. Anyways it’s a good rallying cry to get the year going. Let’s Goh! Drinking natty boh! Tigers gonna put on a show!

I agree! Try something new. 
 

get Scott Van Pelt on it! Guy loves the long O. O’s and Natry Bob’s Hon!

With knowing Conway hasn’t played a ton of live game action in a couple years I’d think they’d schedule an extra scrimmage/exhibition in to get him more live game action. 
 

To me it’s all about how this team gels and if they have that same chip on their shoulder. If they come in over confident that they’re just gonna roll over everyone because we had a little taste of success last year they’re going to be shell shocked and the results will be disappointing. 

They’ve all been saying the right things but let’s hope they prove it starting in November.

Does that mean he’s no longer on staff or is it an interim opportunity during the off-season?

One more month til we kickoff against Bucknell! Would be interested to hear everyone's prediction on our record this year?

I think it’s one extreme or the other 8-3 or 3-8. We’ll see what these transfers are made of once some adversity hits against WVU

So 3* who went to Oregon and wound up at Butler CC last season. Has two years left. Redshirted in 2018. Played some as a r-freshman in 2019 and had nine tackles and two QB hurries. Didn't play much in 2020 (doesn't count). At Butler, had 33 tackles and two picks in eight games in 2021. My guess he'll play inside backer since we have so many bodies at the EDGE. I really want to see who can step up as starters. I think we'll have some real competition defensively on the line and at linebacker. But everything is about the pass rush. No pass rush, no pass defense.

Any idea why he left Oregon?

Wouldn’t be shocked if we are in the top 50

The O’s have been winning and Camden Yards has been rocking this week more than it has in awhile! 32k fans came out for Hawaiian shirt day. If Towson can find money for some good giveaways I think that’ll draw student fans. People go nuts for floppy bucket hat night. Dr. E and whoever needs to design a towson Hawaiian or a trendy bucket hat. 

I disagree with the give a ways. That’s a short term gain (1 game). There has to be some sort of long term engagement with the fans to keep them coming back. Not just a flash in the pan.

1-5 is damn strong. But again, just like the PG list, it seems to drop off pretty drastically beginning at #6. Not that 6-10 were bad players, but collectively they can’t hold a candle 🕯 to 1-5

Let Nick finish his career and we’ll see if that goes to 1-6…

Mat, there’s one not here because he never played. But I still believe If Terrance Whiters played with Gary we would’ve made the tournament. He was demolishing  Mike Green in practice during his redshirt year. 

Still bothers me MD and Georgetown won’t play us.

Portal is required when you are a lame duck coach and lost a lot of players from last year. 

All 3 things are true

I like it.   Bit surprised considering they were only 17-16 last season and 8-12 in a weak ACC at the time..  little did we know how good that conference would show in the tournament. 
Vegas will have it at..  Clemson -3 I’m predicting 😃

Better than Pitt

Wait, she’s mad about the chair being adjusted???

to me this hire isn’t about keeping a core of players for the short term but building a program for the long term, like the mens program with PS (Right 2012). I get we could’ve kept this current core but that’s thinking short term and a risk for a new AD who doesn’t get to put his thumb on his athletic department, as Mat stated. 
 

I think keeping Zach wouldve been a mistake. 

Everything I hear up in NJ has been very positive about Conway and people are sad to see him go. Hope it’s our gain

You ever hear him talk?  that guy is bad news and he left behind some issues when he was with Nebraska.  I must say that Skerry, for the most part, gets high character guys who are good students.....

I think part of that is some job security. He’s not willing to sell his sole for wins and put the program in a situation like the one he started in. 

He posted on 4/6 “Run it back” if he changes his mind this quickly I don’t want him here.

I like what I’m seeing so far. Lots of interesting pieces with the transfers and incoming freshmen. Could be another deep team who can score! Gotta love how much fun they were to watch this past season. Hopefully even more fun to be had with the squad that’s returning. We could be Maryland’s best basketball school, why not us!?

We have to be the early favorites in the CAA, right?

Fascinating to me that guys are still trickling into the portal, notwithstanding that the season has been over for more than 3 weeks, in terms of the National Championship game. In point of fact, for some teams, the season has been over for close to 2 months, counting from when many teams had their season end in conference tournaments which took place in early March. 

I think a bunch of that has to do with coaching changes and timing of them. Example: FDU just parted ways with their HC. Tough look for those kids to make a decision in a couple days..

You mean with Zane Martin or the 2021-22 crew? He would not have been a good ft on this past year's team. Not talking about skills.

 

Got it, didn’t realize he was that big of a cancer. Ya know if you’re not gonna tell us the behind the scenes stuff we can’t be expected to know why guys leave. 

Maybe we are pretty good and played a BRUTAL non conference schedule.

Not nearly as good as he thinks he is

 

He woulda been a great fit on our roster last year

Lol. At least the players leaving Murray are leaving due to their coach leaving. 
 

Wm looks like a dumpster fire currently. But they will get some good kids to come in via transfer.  Like you said it’s a very good degree. 

Tony Shaver never made the tournament but he avoided the program being a dumpster fire like this…
