From an economic standpoint, it’s a no-brainer. As to on the field, it’s sort of a no-win-beat them and the reaction from most will be “meh, you were supposed to beat them;” lose to them, and our fan base (what there is of it) will meltdown 

Yep.. Nailed it.  We need to at all cost not play down to them every year.  Because every so often, they'll hang in there and beat us.  If we don't beat them by 30, its a disappointment.

Starting to get excited for the season!

Very sad news this morning.  He was a great man.  I'm a better person for having had him in my life.

Program was never cut.  STF!

Congrats Andy. Always good to see former Towson athletes' kids attend Towson.

And just as soon as I post this, the second Peterson daughter commits to JMU.  Eric's not on here, that I know of.  This puts an awful lot of pressure on marycate7171.  LOL

I'm hoping this spring season isn't delayed.  A girl I coached in rec is a freshman this year.  I'd love to see her play in '21!

The early 90's were a GREAT time to be a Tiger!  I lived on the 3rd floor of Tower D with a large percentage of the gymnastics team during the 1990-1991 year.

Good times, good times...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

But we avenged every one of those blowout losses by '93 was over!

Ah crap.  It's been awhile since I posted up in here.

We have FOOL blood coming in to WLAX to beat down the JMU Peterson influence!!!!

One of your kids coming?

Yes indeed!

So what does this make Donatelli?

I can't wait for this to happen!

Wait until you guys get a look at the 2021 recruiting class!  I guess that won't be until LOI signing day next year.

Had we not lost Simpson, our record would have been better.

Both teams get the ball in OT.  Going second just means you know how many points you need to score.

Losing Shane Simpson is going to be painful the rest of the season.

I've said it before, I hate this series.  We should trounce them every year.  And every year we seem to play down to them and either pull out a win or get upset.  I hate it.

When was the last time we treated Morgan like we should?  Please say before 1993.

We're so undersized at LB....with the exception of Tyne, everyone else is pretty small.  Also wish we had more thumpers in the secondary.  I remember when Towson had Khalid McCleod (sp?) at safety.  That dude had to have been 6'3 225.

He was 6'2" as I remember.  Him and Donnie Zimmerman were big safeties.

So I guess this means we are the best in the CAA and that the CAA is only a one bid league?  Swell!

CAA will likely send 5 teams to the playoffs this year (JMU, Elon, Stony Brook, UNH & Delaware). So, we don’t have to run the table to get a playoff bid next year, but rather claw our way into a top 5 finish in the conference.

IMHO, the recipe for accomplishing this goal is: (in no particular order)

(1) A new offensive coordinator;

(2) A tandem of 200+ pound RB’s who can move the pile & absorb the inherent punishment attendant to the position;

(3) More explosive plays (20+ yards) from the passing game

(4) An influx of talent on the D-Line.

Well, now that I’ve fixed the football team, I can turn my attention to less pressing matters, like North Korea 

kEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 88!

 

Why is Grace's picture linked to this thread??

Happy to see him succeeding after so many injuries here.

Speaking as a coach, I think we can build from this loss.  SB is a respectable CAA team.  We had a lot of injuries  Somethings gotta give sooner or later.  Get healthy, get better.  One game at a time.  Play for pride and man the F up.

Andy. It is versus. Not verse. Dummy

Ah, shit.  I escaped anonymously as the Ghost of for a couple weeks at least.

I think we should have won by a lot more, but I understand each game is different.  This next game verse Stoney Brook will tell us whether our fears are true or not.

Hey I coached football in the 301, can I speak with supreme authority too?

In two games, I can recall maybe 2 or 3 blitzes. I guess we're saving it for the CAA?

This is my thinking.  It's been vanilla play calling and its not going to change this weekend.

I don't like playing the Morgan States and the StFU's of the world and risk losing early in the season playing this way.  Might as well just play two cupcake games for money.
