P5 schools aren't coming here. Cant afford the loss.   Why would mid-majors want to risk a 20 win season by playing  more than 1 or. 2 peers per year ? CAA administration has let the league down.  No TV deal and  no marketing package 

no tv deal no marketing package. agreed. And yes they beat a lasalle team. And honestly we can say we're too good to play good mid majors and too bad to play p5. But other schools do it, no excuse we cant. get the right people in the dept. if TL cant do it, get someone who can

Even if it means we never get a home game in the deal, I still think it's better for us to go on the road and get our teeth kicked in by the likes of Wake Forest, Butler, Georgia Tech, etc., than to play a bunch of tomato cans and get ZERO benefit.  I'd rather go 3-7 in non-conference play if it means it's going to get us better prepared for the CAA schedule.

Agreed. We all got excited with 10-1 with no true legit mid majors really. I mean starting with ODU was cool. But we definitely need more of that.

Sometimes it is hard to understand, but the students at Towson, over the years, have shown they have very little interest in athletics. Winning does not, at Towson, to make much of a difference. When you are excited about a crowd of 2200, coming off a great conference win, that is all you need to know. That does have an impact on recruiting. Sellouts make a program more attractive.

Coach Ambrose as well as the other head coaches to varying degrees have reached out to the greater student body. I hope someone is able to get the students interested. As of now, no one has found the secret sauce. It would make a difference.

from experience, being in greek life. as well as on IFC ( the board which governs fraternities) I held meetings with Nads and bringing OSU and Hopkins here are what attracts kids. I wont say winning doesn't matter. being good AND scheduling good games are key. We got more kids in lax seats. Its tough to get these new gen kids to enjoy the FCS when all they see is SEC on espn. And also like beating a dead horse, the school will never live down RUINING all momentum with the T West szn with tailgates. In terms of Basketball. We can copy the Mason / VCU blueprint. Its been done. We need those Tourney appearances. 

Exactly what I took from it. Defense tightened up in the second half with Miller in goal. No way he doesnt get the start right? also FOGO will be solid with Woodall. Hoping the Offense can find their groove next week.... Also great W from the womens team.

I guess to some kids there’s an allure to playing FBS. Others realize it might be better to get more playing time at a competitive FCS school rather than fighting  to get on the field for a mediocre FBS program like a Kent State for example 

This argument stands for some players as long as we can stay atop in the CAA / FCS 

I will be at the season opener at hopkins Saturday 

Seems like it was easier to get a TV deal in the 90's .. Thats awesome tho 

Students wont care until we start getting come ncaa appearances was my feeling 

sheesh, why 

I also am a fan of Eddie, and moreso disappointed by Mike.. We all hoped he would have come into peak form for his senior year. 

I think it would be a loss if he is no loner on the team ... His defense is above the rest 

Yeah what is that lol 

Well he is not playing for the next two games.. Interesting to see what happened 

wow remainder of the year?!? still need him 

Well Im looking forward to tomorrow ill be there 

at the end of the day people will always rank though. Skerry, being the only era I have been a part of. Gives you just enough to keep hoping

And to be honest, tv is where more exposure will happen, because regardless it will be on the CAA.tv. Also the production level for the CAA.tv is still nowhere near tv quality. What a terrible first year blunder for the new commish... Top mid major teams cant even get an ESPN3 deal while UMBC can 

Just saw my boy Monte sign a rugby deal in like Serbia

I haven’t railed against any specific player tonight, expect for the horrific last shot by Starr. Having said that, Morman has regressed substantially this year on offense. His shot is awful (body parts flying in all different directions). Good D or not, he’s hurting us & I would significantly reduce his PT.

As for Morsell, his confidence seems so fragile that I wonder if benching him doesn’t put him in a deeper funk.

Morsell's and the TEAM's confidence, you see them hanging their heads or not running back on D, or just some things where you wanna be like come on guys.. You want to motivate them but the coach needs to put a spark under them, Turning point game this weekend. 

Idk ive watched them for 5 years. Seems like a reoccurring issue regardless of whos playing, other than my boy four. 

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASK SKERRY IF THEY SHOOT FREE THROWS IN PRACTICE... Also what a terrible horrible shot by Starr at the end

For sentimental value, I’ll throw in the last game at the Towson Center. Forgot who we beat. The game itself had no real significance (I think that was the year we were banned from postseason play) but it was nice to close the TC with a W.

I remember this, we half rushed the court with the football team. I remember the excitement of SECU opening the following year
