That whole conversation with Dr. E was really strange regarding the GOH Collective. It kind of reminded me of the Seinfeld episode when George was being pursued by the Mets for their Assistant GM position but they couldn't talk about the lunch they had because of fears of tampering. Also cannot imagine how hard it is for Dr. E when he was promoting Towson's Day of Giving in basically saying "Hey please pay money here but don't forget about this way to give money too, although I am not supposed to know what and how much is going to this GOH thing..."

Stupid paywalls! Any shot he gets drafted or will he get signed as free agent on Sunday after draft ends?

Could this been a situation where they "suggested" that he go into the portal sense they have possibly two more guys coming in and need the extra scholarship?

Women's sports continue to lead the way for our Athletic Department. Congratulations to softball.

St. John's may finally get their revenge for their 1993 defeat loss to us!

If not Social Security, he may have his doctorate by the time Boise's conference tournament starts next year.

Ok this is great and obviously needs to be done. I do have a couple issues with the marketing of it however. 1) gohcollective.com, this GOH marketing push is only months old so when you think GOH not sure how many people are thinking Towson. My point to that is the website where you want people and businesses to go to support Towson Tiger Athletics does not have the word Towson or Tiger in it. I admit it was a very quick look but I went to two other CAA school athletic sites and the team up north's NIL site is called "The Blue Hen Collective", while Stony Brook's is called "The Seawolve Exchange". Novel idea that you may want your name as part of your new initiative. It is almost as if they are trying to push the GOH theme more than NIL for Towson Tiger Athletes. 2) Again like above it was a real quick skim through our website, but my search on towsontigers.com from what I could see HAD NO LINK OR MENTION of the gohcollective.com page as of 10:30 AM April 4. Are they doing a slow push of marketing? I would think you would want this page on your athletic website. I was able to find the UD and SB's collective pages by going through their athletic sites. All I see is TAF which is very important as well but this new initiative needs to be promoted and not having it on the website is awfully short sighted. I do not understand why the release of this highly important initiative is not all gas no brakes with it's promotion and having it available and known in as many ways as possible. Just before I hit submit I went to the Temple Owls website and wouldn't you know it they too in their "collective" have the school's mascot in it's name and it is easily found on their website.

The growth of the sport is killing us too. We used to be able to get quality players because the options for players to go play high level D1 schools was limited. Used to be if a player didn't go to the Syracuse, Hopkins, or Marylands of the world we had a chance to grab a few of those players. Now those players have additional options, Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State. We can't compete with the Power 5's. As the sport continues to grow and more of the bigger schools start programs, unfortunately I think Towson lacrosse will become similar to Towson basketball. That may be a slight exaggeration but not too far off.

Damn, looks like they unfortunately had one of their lowest scores of the year. Congrats to one of the most if not the most consistently successful programs at Towson.

Just simply a continuation of other post where I mention I am getting tired of the "Close but no cigar" headlines the PR staff has to post when they send out game recaps.

Yep your usual "good personality" to describe a loss : "A near-comeback, but not enough in the CAA opener vs. Drexel." Man what a disappointing/frustrating 22-23 athletic season this is turning out to be.

Very worrisome moving forward seeing the scores and comments from the last two games. Are players sick of Coach Harper already? Last two games leave such a HUGE wart on what should be a season to build upon.

I typed my statement and do not recall using the word "chokers". I reread it again numerous times after your response and still do not see the word "chokers" in my response. I am the one that suggested we start calling our program the Teasing Tigers, I didn't mention that. I am also in team SOT, but I do not recall typing or seeing that in my response either. All I was eluding to was that if you were reading this thread about the game without knowing the score you would have thought that it was a relatively close game but kudos to Monmouth. I gave my flowers of praise to a good season and what they overcame and hope for more, but they still lost by TWENTY FIVE POINTS at home to let me check UCONN, no, Iowa, no, Maryland, no, MONMOUTH, yes.

Yes the women had a good year and yes I hope the program has continued success, but how come it seems like people are acting like they lost by five points? They lost by TWENTY-FIVE points at home as the number 1 seed. No matter how well or how a team is playing in this conference no way they should lose by 25 points at home, no less to the 7th seed. Hopefully they can go up to Haahvard and get the bad taste of yesterday out of their mouths.

As much as most of us would like to see a change at the coaching position and as bad as the CAA is collectively as a conference, I know you only used Manhattan and Wofford as examples of openings, but I think it would be an embarrassment if PS left for a lateral move at best to go to a MAAC or Southern Conference school.

Seems like a game where the Teasing Tigers may make an appearance!

Teasing Tigers I am telling you that is what we should call our athletic teams. Halftime with Towson up 5 I hammered the Charleston +2.5 line. 1) Because I am a Towson fan and like everyone on here always will be, I knew more than likely what the outcome would be and would have been more than happy to take the monetary loss if they somehow hung on and advanced to the final. But a last as most all of the social media post say after any Towson sports program loss "Fought hard until the end"-Instagram or "Towson men's basketball battles, but falls..." Like I said earlier in the season we equate to the old line "She has a great personality" we all know what that means!

Kept seeing the final score on social media and kept thinking it had to be a typo and 8-4 was a halftime score not a final score. Embarrassing.

Everyone mispronounces our name anyway so why not change our name to Teasing Tigers. That will match what most of our athletic programs do to us fans. Another "Oh soclose" game by one of our teams.

Nope!

I jumped on the Charleston -2.5 at halftime. We've all seen this movie before and it ends the same way. Money in my pocket > than rooting for the alma mater right now.

Shoot for the stars and you might get the moon I guess. Has a number of offers from Power 5 schools as well

Hate to say it but I kind of hope we do not win tomorrow night. Reason? If we somehow play Charleston in the tournament be it semis or oh god even the finals, there is no way we beat them twice. My cynical Towson fandom is scarred from past situations. 18:55 and then the tournament last year is a great example of that. I am just excited that I can watch them tomorrow night as I am anti- Aunt Flosports.
