Should this be in the football topic? Also wow 7 years, did not feel that long at all.

same. even if its 2019 its such a bad look

For the first time since Mikey W I feel like we have an AD that knows how to use the internet and knows how to build engagement, despite the fact that I hate the GOH campaign at least he tried something. I have faith Dr Steve will be able to sell the position well to get good candidates. We have a good stadium, new practice fields, a talented area to recruit from, a solid geographic rival (UD). Yes, we likely need an indoor practice facility but if the new coach can start winning and filling the stands that will come. Mikey W got us our only sellout ever ten years ago - it can be done again with the right pieces in place.

I will second all of this - I've taken a long while to come around to moving on from Rob because of what we had before. He will leave the program in a better place than he found but our expectations have elevated and he has not been able to match them. The stupid penalties, bad game management, inconsistency in transfers, blow out in recent FBS games, bad playoff L's at home - we can't have those anymore if we are going to try and build a sustainable program. Considering the schools that have left we should be top 4 of the CAA every year or we are backsliding overall. (same goes for MBB)

There are always so many "secret" issues around this program. For a couch that is always coming off as 'holier than thou' (benching star players, getting flagged for sideline behavior) you'd think the program would be much more transparent.

and yet not picked up by NBC Mid-Atlantic

The production quality was bad as always and the PxP guy was a total homer (the color guy was much better) but hey it was free for me since I have the Disney, Hulu Espn bundle and was able to pull it up on my TV through Hulu with no issues. Being able to do that and not some hack job streaming service DC United cut mid-season years ago made me feel like I was a real college football fan for maybe the first time since 2013 when with our playoff games on ESPN2 or U and going to Frisco felt like what I imagine a bowl game feels like. It was only a few hours for one game but a man can dream...

is it time to get the tshirt ready? I still have the Gordy graphic.

true, but I'm ready for this one to be over

Personally not a fan. Again, we are never going to be Baltimore's anything it also alienates the rest of the state who can pronounce words correctly.

Yes NCAA or bust. For his twitter, it's cringy to me.. just give an intern the login.

Yes, good more changes, please. Even if they all fail at least we are trying to not just be status quo.

It's clear we are never going to be in the new college football Super League so for me I like us being good at this level; whatever that is. I see FCS (likely non-Super League FBS too ) just becoming like minor league baseball or hockey. Those teams turn over every year and most players don't make it to the show but the community gets excited when the team is good. Every once in a while a kid clearly will become a star and you follow them and cheer for them as they move along. I never cared about UVA but when Shane went there for the covid season I followed them. Super League = MLB/NHL FBS Group of 5 = AAA/AHL FCS = AA/ECHL Who doesn't love a good Baysox game? Just be that and people will be happy. Now Marketing, realizing, becoming that, and listening to fans, etc. - that's the achilles heel of Towson. We are always caught in the middle with endless higher education bureaucrats either 1) thinking we are going to be something to the greater Baltimore area or 2) will kill any sense of fun/school pride the second a drunk student sets foot in a parking lot. If we can ever realize no one in Baltimore or even Towson city cares about Towson unless they went there and focus on building our alumni and student engagement we can have an avid fanbase without being on ESPN in with a 100,000 person stadium.

We can basically guarantee a game vs JMU. the lazy broadcaster "they used to be rivals in the CAA" is too easy for them to pass up. Queue talking about JMU moving to FBS football and the power 5 blowing up the NCAA after that for the following 5 minutes.
