I see us as having a chance of beating only three or four teams our schedule, and any of those could go the wrong way. Nova again looks like a powerhouse; JMU, of course; Richmond is strong; and Albany took it to us two years ago with the same QB (they lost to NDSU by a much closer score). That leaves Stony Brook, W&M, Rhode Island and Elon, and none of them are pushovers. I foresee a 2-9 or 3-8 season. We can all predict the excuses RA will offer.

There's an Eddie Haskell quality about RA that makes me think TSU88 is right -- he's probably impressed the prez with his "goodness gracious" fake charm.

As overmatched as we were tonight, the first-half play calling was unforgivable. And who calls the plays? We all know the answer.

I listened to that NDSU podcast. They were brutally honest -- they see NOTHING from watching our film to think we pose any threat. They say (accurately) that our lines are "huge but slow," that our QB play is poor and that our team speed is meh (we saw that too against UNH). Along with their speedy QB, they have a bunch of other threats, including two kick returners we'd better keep the ball from. They were also pissed about the lack of TV, which they blamed on Towson rather than the CAA or FloSports.

I think RA was watching a different game than I was. Are those positive comments just spin or did he really see accomplishments that I missed?

All we heard about during the preseason was how much depth we had at all positions. So the absence of Lumor and Collins shouldn't have been a problem, right? But somehow, that depth was a mirage.

I thought Rutkowski was the only sure-handed one in the bunch.

No injuries (that I know of), so that's also a plus. Let's hope we knocked the rust off today and will play better next week.

I'll be there. Don't to wait till the 18th to see this team in person.

Mat -- when RA referred to conversations about closing in one end of the stadium, was he talking about the fieldhouse/scoreboard end? Would the idea be to put in premium seating skyboxes, a la ODU?

Jeff Miller is a class act. I've been impressed with him ever since he got here.

Actually, I don't like it. To me, it's cartoonish.

Welcome aboard, Dan. I look forward to seeing your son's name on the roster and watching him climb the depth chart.

I didn't get the survey either. Strange.

I suspect you'd like to keep your son's name private, but can you tell us if he plays offense or defense?
