I predict that rob keeps getting undeserved contract extensions until the end of time. #Fireambrose

It really can be anyone's league, just not Elon. I have pretty big expectations for this year, even if others might not. 4 Seniors, almost all of the points and rebounds returning... Again, its gonna be so bunched up between 9-9 and 13-5 that every close game really matters, which scares me. But it does all come down to March.

NEC, not a ton better but they are semi-scholarship level. Pioneer is not. So Duquesne had 45 when they embarrassed us in the playoffs. Full FCS like Towson have 63. FBS 85. So it was similar to an FBS losing to an FCS team. Feel better yet?!? Crickets from some on here is telling

We will probably go 3-3 the rest of the way. Alumni on here get super excited, and defensive of Rob and say "he had lots of injuries, just wait until next year." We go 4-7, the same alums say "he had lots of injuries, h'es a good guy and went to school here. just wait until next year, who can we get that is better?." Sneak into playoffs and "Extension Tim" gives out another undeserving one. Rinse, wash and repeat. Another fun stat, Albany's last road win came on Sept 9, 2017 also in Baltimore against Morgan State. Their last CAA road win? Nov. 12, 2016. Their all-time road CAA record going into this past week was 5-21. 5-21! Oh, the 38 points scored was the most by an Albany team on the road since 2011. If the buyout wasn't so much, I would pray that there isn't anyone on here saying/thinking that the coach should keep his job.

Yes 62-62 but the 1-11 against FBS teams shouldn't be held against him. 29-10 with a certain RB and 32-40 without is startling

That's all part of the problem. The "big market" excuse of having pro-teams is just that an EXCUSE. We aren't trying to get 25K people every Saturday, but 4,500 is a joke (Albany had 100-200). You mention the Ravens, a ticket is say $75 bucks a person, parking $20, a hot dog/soda $10 another $7 for a beer. So a family of 4 with each having a hot dog and soda, and parents a beer each is ~$375 a game. You can get the same at Towson for ~$100. The product is obviously different, but one is a much more family friendly environment and more affordable for the average family. At this point, the coaching staff, marketing, promotion, gameday items, seem to have gotten stale. We constantly ask the same questions about fans support, students, etc. Money, winning, style of play, TV, what helps? Well it doesn't seem like any of that has any real affect. To me, energy is the key and why do you think we were more successful under Waddell??! Love him or hate him, he energized the athletic department, coaches, players and fans. The current regime doesn't do anything to get people engaged. I have had hoops season tickets since graduation in spring of 2012, guess what happened this year. NOTHING, no one called me to renew them or anything. That is unacceptable! We need all the butts in seats we can get, and to not call/email/mail ticket holders is RIDICULOUS. Its the same thing over and over again. We hear the pitch from Rob every single year "this is the best looking team I've had. They haven't forgotten last year. This team is together and we are ready to surprise people, yadda, yadda, yadda," its just more of the same BS. He would make a great salesman, football coach, not so much. 61-50 against FCS, 39-44 in the CAA and 3-3 in the Playoffs.

Both have good and bad points. Delaware draws a majority of their fans from their alumni, who as the jokes go, (but very true) are old timers. Its interesting to see how their programs do in the next decade or so. They have had extreme attendance decreases over the years. Delaware isn't far from Philly and not like they are in the middle of nowhere like JMU, NDSU, Montana. And if TigerFan thinks our tailgating is bad for students... UDels campus/dorms are a good mile plus walk to the stadiums. What pro sports are we competing with on Saturdays in the fall? Orioles? eh. Navy and Maryland both played halfway across the country at different times this week and were not playing the week we played Nova. This isn't like UAB trying to compete with Alabama and Auburn.

First part yes, second part no. Student tailgates or not they do not show up. Saturday was a very nice mid October day and there were 4,800 people there. I pulled into the parking lot at 3:50 and there were still 40-50 spots in lot 14. I was shocked as I thought I'd be walking from the Glenn/Union garages. There's a very good amount of lots to tailgate and park in around the stadium. They open up 4 hours before (like most schools) and people still don't show. As an alum, who went to pretty much every football game while in school and a majority after graduation, and tailgated for both, the whining about tailgating is just f'ing annoying. The school and football program aren't there to throw college kids an outdoor party 6 times a year.

So in the last 11 games, Towson is 4-7 overall. We will have gone at least 385 days without a home CAA win. Take out a God awful NC Central team and we have out last 5 home games of... L Albany 38-21 Won turnover battle 2 to 1 Out-gained 511-280 L Villanova 52-45 OT Won turnover battle 3 to 1 Out-gained 574-470 L Duquesne 31-10 Even turnover battle 1 to 1 Out-gained 436-357 L JMU 38-17 Lost turnover battle 1 to 0 Out-gained 576-514 L Maine 35-28 Lost turnover battle 2 to 1 Out-gained 408-367 0-5 38.8 to 24.2/game +1 Overall in T.O. Out-gained 501 yards against to 397 yards/game Getting punked at home like this in inexcusable

Towson needs to win out (HAHAHAHAHAHAH that won't happen!) to get to 8-4. Even then, in a mediocre FCS where 1/4 of the teams make the playoffs, we probably get bounced.

Picked 6th https://caasports.com/news/2019/10/7/hofstra-tabbed-to-capture-2019-20-caa-mens-basketball-title-charlestons-riller-picked-preseason-player-of-the-year.aspx Close on the top half

Agree to disagree. Riller is the best scorer though. Again, Pemberton probably will have a huge year, but in the past when the moments got big, he came up small.

They are, sorry!

What other school let’s this crap go on?! Rob you were a great walk on wr for us in the 90s. Cool man. Your kids can stay on scholly here and we will all buy you a beer after/ at football games. You seem like a great guy and good alum but the team has gotten away from you numerous times. Your pink slip has been needed for years now. You can’t coach and keep digging this school deeper in the hole. 4500 and lost to Albany. Lfmao Leave take the high road

I feel more confident if any Towson team is picked towards to bottom. That’s just me but we over and under achieve like non other. We are bottom 5 program consistently but still give this coach extensions. TIM STOP. it’s time for s change. Rob got lucky enough with t west and Tom. He’s average at best. Bottom 5 in caa isn’t good enough.l, Don’t listen to some of these d timers on here. #firerob #paperbags

Thank you mat. It isn’t easy being a Towson fan or covering it. You are a good alum and fan and we appreciate your work. Agree or disagree we all want what’s best for Towson athletics and the university

lol 4800. Fcs football where about 25% make the playoffs. We can’t consistently in the best conference where a Minimum of wins gets us in.

Go fund me? Rob go back to storrs Ct!

Just saying any semi normal respecting school would have canned their football and hoops coach before it got to this point. But hey it’s Towson, extensions for everyone!

Kiss**

Change is needed. Status quo the apologists will kill his butt as usual

Not at the game watching this embarrassment. Rob needs to go

I mean look at this defense. No pressure. Bring 11 people out of the stands and they will torch them

Like maybe market/advertise tomorrows game even 1/8th of what they did for the Villanova game.
