    Yep. Good points Boog. "self proclaimed."! 2021 was going to be tough no matter who was on the schedule, because hopefully we have a new coach. 37-46 career record without West (not even counting FBS games). 2 winning seasons in the CAA without West. Never finished higher than 3rd... but yeah sure he's a "good coach"

    D.C. Holiday Hoops Fest Preview

    First to 45 may win the Liberty game. Towson gives up 60 per game and Liberty gives up 50. Rock Fight.

    Would love to split the two games. These are all pretty good teams and Tulane ain't the same team we pummeled in AC last year. Anyone whose interested in going, Groupon has half price tickets without Ticketmaster fees.

    We always have Delaware nova Wm Elon and stony. Then I believe they have 3 teams in 2 pods that we rotate with.

    Nice story on Jeff Miller

    From all of the articles and work he has done, Jeff is a tremendous representative of Towson University. Despite what happens on the field for him, he will make a difference in the lives of many others! Keep it up Jeff!

    Is this game during an active recruiting period? If so we should bring a lot of recruits (football and hoops) and family to the game. Depending on demand, maybe make this individual game part of a package deal, with other games... No TV deal means we can likely put the game at any time we want, hopefully athletics doesn't screw the pooch on this one.

    I'm not saying it's the best course. But unofficially if they were to mention that there's a game, and who they are playing, etc it wouldn't hurt. I might be generalizing, but isn't their following mostly young fratty guys who are into sports? If so, that would be a target demo to get butts into seats/more interest in the program.

    Just trying to make an fbs comparison on how rare this opportunity is. In terms of the common fans knowledge

    You're missing what I'm saying.. To Runda who says its "Dumb." Playing a dynasty and the best team by far at your level in a home non-conference game is huge. Maryland does not get those type of non conference games at home, (Texas at FedEx), I'm saying that this is a very good opportunity for us.

    I'm an asshole who likes to complain, but I'm an asshole who likes to complain and wants desperately for TU athletics and the University to succeed. Back on the topic of what can be done better... I noticed on Twitter that JMU has a barstool sports page (sports is used lightly now, I know) and they were trash talking with Monmouth's one before the playoff game last week. Looking at the page, it seems they are really into promoting the schools sports programs, whereas ours doesn't. Maybe someone can reach out and try to improve ours? Having an unofficial TU athletics fan's twitter wouldn't be a bad idea either, IMO.

    NDSU is a machine and it's going to take a lot to keep it close. Saw them in person, when we made the championship, and was really impressed how much better they were. They are on their 3rd coach in the dynasty and it just keeps on moving. They are FCS in name only. Gonna be a huge test for us, but something the players and staff should look forward to. This is the equivalent of Alabama or Clemson going to college park for a non-conf game.

    It's going to be a rough stretch and hopefully we are breaking in a new coach. They will probably bring around 2,000 (again depending on how well they finish this year and next). Maybe we can package it around a parents weekend and get 8K there.

    NDSU has trouble scheduling FBS games. No one wants to play them, so they have to go this route. They did a H and H with Delaware and Weber and JMU are doing one as well. This is good for the CAA as the conference is not close to what it used to be. The need for better games is apparent as east coast leagues, NEC, Patriot, MEAC, are not good.

    I'm impressed. Hopefully we don't screw it up and get a sell out. Trey Lance will be a junior then, so that'll be tough. Glad we are home first.. they may have wanted to skip out on us, if the first game was in Fargo.

    9 years of out of conference games

    I've always said that Pat is a great guy, and person. He has done a lot of the community and helped a program get out of the dump. To say he has COMPLETELY TURNED the program around is not true. That would have meant he made the NCAA tournament, or even the CAA final. Hell, most on here would settle for a win in the F'ing CAA Tournament. He did a great job and took the program as far as he could. He has become stagnant and stale (just look at football too). Most coaches do not stick around for a decade + at this level. Why do you think that is? They either win and move on, or are fired for performance. There is nothing wrong with wanting more and to be better (no RKW we do not want to be Duke or Alabama). No one is expecting a sweet 16 appearance and back to back NCAA's, but after a decade in charge, the best you can muster up is a CAA semi-finals trip, with the 2 time CAA POTY and a home advantage in the tournament?? That's disappointing to say the leas. We took a giant step under Pat, and definitely seems like he can't get us over the hump. A new, younger coach would be hungrier, and the players would probably be more responsive to him. He could give two shits about Towson, if he takes us to the NCAA and moves on to a better/higher paying job, I'd be ecstatic. Since Pat took over, EVERY team in the CAA except Elon (who joined the conference in 14-15) has made the CAA Final. Drexel VCU NE x4 JMU Delaware WM x2 Hofstra x2 UNCW x2 Charleston x2 Drexel has since canned their coach. Delaware and JMU who both won the CAA fired their coaches a few years after. WM and Elon fired theirs for not making the NCAA's. UNCW's left for NC State. Pat is the second longest tenured coach in the conference. I believe he was being sarcastic.

    So because people can't pronounce the university's name, we shouldn't be good at hoops? Uh.. Part of the reason no one can pronounce the name correctly is because we are stuck playing crappy local teams that offer NOTHING to us. CAA is not a high end mid major anymore... We are in the middle of the pack, not the tail end. So we should be realistic and just accept the fact that 16 wins is our ceiling, with a coach who has been here a decade and makes a good sum of money??? SHEESH

    LOL. Does a great job on twitter, just never showed at games himself. The teams we played and dates have something to do with attendance. 2 Sunday NFL days (one being the last day of Thanksgiving Break), a Friday night game, and then a Thursday first conference game during winter break.

    "24-3 against in state opponents" since 2012-13! Take that Goucher, Frostburg State, St. Marys, Coppin, Morgan and Loyola! "Kings of Baltimore!" Something to be proud of! Who needs the CAA title?! But seriously, the SID, who not only composes weirdly written write ups for reviews and lead up stories, does't check facts. Losses to UMBC, Loyola, UMD and Morgan.. that is 4

    Eh, The crowd wasn't to bad. Students again, pretty lame. But it was raining and cold out, right before finals. On a positive note, someone did call and thank me for my donation to the university and to athletics the other day. Kudos to that!

    Fobbs leads MBB over UMBC, 77-71 (story)

    SHHH... don't question Pat's greatness... We won! Be happy! Who cares if it was a team with a 2-5 record. They were missing a guy who averaged 10 and 9 PPG the last two years and 6 and 5 on the boards. He is also there best defender and would likely have been on Brian. Exams. But palying 3 games in 25 days isn't ideal, thanks Cornell! Not sure why you think Liberty is random? They are a semi-Mid Major (school pumping tons of money into athletics) local program. They are good and that one could be very ugly

    Good- We won a close game that really could have went either way. Nice for them to finally close one out. -Brian played a great game -Sanders played a great game and showed intensity and passion (something lacking from Towson for a while) -Dottin played well and showed intensity- Thought he played some good defense -Switched defenses which atleast slowed them down a bit Bad- We needed all 40 minutes to put away a bad team at home, without two of their best players. -The bench. Need way more production from role players, especially at home -FT shooting, sans Fobbs -#2 sulking most of the game (I see the JG and ZM frustration brewing in him) Ugly- Our guys getting worked by the UMBC "bigs" YIKES -The late game fouls (Dennis is a 5th year senior and should know better!) and that turnover with 14 seconds left!

    UNC also played at Wofford (a year after losing at home to them, and not just skipping the return game) and Davidson in recent years. Penn State played at Duquense. Understand that Maryland as they are a bubble NCAA team typically wouldnt want to play a road game.
