My prediction of a 41-24 Towson win drew some skepticism from some of my fellow Tigers here. I wasn’t too far off. Just felt like the Towson squad we saw against UC was not a fluke but a truer indication of what this team is capable of offensively. Granted, that team was led by Davis. However, after what I saw from Brown against Villanova, I’m all in on that dude. I feel like he has better instincts and composure. There are still some challenging games left but none of them are “improbable” wins. I still wouldn’t be shocked if we ran the table the rest of the way.

I might like the helmets better if the decals were a bit bigger. Field logo actually looks decent, I will admit.

Interesting that 3-1 New Hampshire is a +2.5 underdog against 1-1 Harvard tonight.

Tribe: 24 Tigers: 41

Am I the only one here who thinks the special edition helmet logos for this weekend’s game are a little lame? Cartoon Doc decals? Really?

With all due respect to Bill & Mary their schedule, thus far, has been a cake-walk compared to ours. I’d like to think the lumps we’ve taken against a Big 12 team and two legitimate FCS heavyweights will pay some dividends against W&M. I’d don’t think Wofford and Furman will have prepared them as well for us….ASSUMING we play the type of ball we’re capable of.

That’s exactly what concerns me. I think NDSU is going to be looking to prove something in front of their home crowd after a lackluster performance against ETSU. I think they’re going to be extra salty today.

Don’t have a good feeling about this one. I’m sticking with my original prediction of a 49-13 Bison win. However, I’m very optimistic for how the balance of the schedule will turn out for us after NDSU. I don’t think 9-3 is impossible with this team….of course that is dependent on the health and availability of the key players. No team after this weekend is unbeatable….and several are VERY beatable.

AMEN!!

To quote a former Towson head football coach who is still very close to the program, “Excuses are like ***holes, everybody’s got one and they all stink.”

Londono catches the wide open pass that bounced off his face and we’re 2-1. It’s very simple.

We lost by 1. Had we lost by 27, I’m looking at the coaches for a poorly prepared team, a team lacking motivation, etc. We lost by 1. There are probably at least a half dozen plays where dudes just weren’t clutch enough. Make any one of those half dozen plays and win leave Philly with a W. It was there for the taking. Make..the…damn… play.

I’m not going to pin this one on the coaches. Shinnick didn’t drop WIDE open passes in the end zone that would have won the game. The OC didn’t flinch on the goal line in a critical moment to kill a potential TD drive. The players need to man up in critical moments. That game was ours to win and in crucial situations the players came up small.

Towson wins today 30-28. Towson loses against NDSU 49-13.

Only thing I can figure through 2 games is that we play to the level of our competition. Go play a Big 12 in front of 40,000+ and put up a very respectable fight. Play the local MEAC from down the street in front of 8,000 and struggle mightily. If the trend continues I would expect a solid effort against Nova.
