    Colts defensive end Ryan Delaire deserves to make the roster
  2. No easy games in the CAA. Rhode Island beats ranked Delaware 21-19 in season opener
  3. Can never overlook an opponent, but I think we'll win our opener, by a comfortable margin. As long as we're prepared, playing to potential. From 2018 previews of MSU, it sounds like most just expect them to improve over last year's 1-10 season, but not surprise anyone. 15 starters return, but top offensive players are gone. In addition, I read in the past 3-4 months 2 players have died (auto accident, illness) and another was shot on campus. The players themselves may not have factored in, the loss but could detract from players getting focused on the upcoming season. I also think restrictions they are operating under may inhibit their ability to be better prepared.

    Top 50 moments in Towson Football history

    The whole E Washington game was a good one from start to finish. I remember contemplating paying the $1600 (cheapest available) for round trip ticket to Spokane, but balked at the price. Cost was jacked up because it was Thanksgiving weekend. I did make it to Frisco though. Good times. Towson vs E Washington - game Towson vs E Washington - highlights

    Top 50 moments in Towson Football history

    Can't argue with these. Definitely remember 1 & 2. For # 2, the plays leading up to the TD made it even more incredible. TU was down 35 to 24, with 3 1/2 mins to go. Here it is as reported by local media; Towson shocks ODU " .... Tigers hit paydirt when Enders scored on an 8-yard keeper with 3:13 remaining. They converted a 2-point conversion on a halfback pass from Leon Kinnard to Mike Evans and ODU's lead was 35-32. Towson then recovered an onside kick as D.J. Soven hit a chip shot down the right sideline. ODU's Mitch Castleberry went up for the ball, but a Tigers player jarred the ball loose and Towson's Gerald Sheppard caught it." "Still, Towson's chances appeared bleak when ODU defensive tackle Ronnie Cameron sacked Enders with 1:50 left, bloodying his nose and knocking Enders out of the game for a play. Backup QB Peter Athens was then sacked by J.J. Williams, setting up Towson's last-ditch effort. And after missing a play, Enders returned to the field." From what I recall, Enders had his face driven into the ground, and along with the bloody nose had turf hanging off his helmet and Athens was in for 2 plays, with his other going nowhere. "Facing fourth and 29 from his 37-yard line, Towson quarterback Grant Enders scrambled out of the pocket to his right and somehow saw Tom Ryan racing across the field near the first-down stick." "Enders fired a pass and Ryan somehow out-leaped ODU safety Carvin Powell to catch the ball. Ryan then somehow escaped four Monarchs defenders and started running down the Towson sideline. And somehow, he dragged ODU defensive back Paul Morant into the end zone with 1:07 remaining as Morant tried to strip the ball from him the last 10 yards"

    Nice. I just may have to do it. Hopefully Hurricane season ends early.

    The Colts defensive end position has been mundane to say the least through the preseason. Ryan Delaire has been a nice addition and has shown that he deserves to make this roster with ease. But, will he?

    Sun article on T. Flacco

    Would love to see him start and win against Delaware.

    Looking at 1st game vs Morgan St

    I'd like to see TU dominate early, build a comfortable lead and control the tempo till the end. A blowout would be nice, but isn't necessary. Football's like a chess match & coaches don't want to show upcoming opponents all they can do. The Morgan St - Towson series needs to take a break every few years. Id prefer another FBS opponent. A very weak one? I.e., Liberty? UMass? UNC - Charlotte? Or any team from the Sunbelt conference.

  13. Haloti Ngata (former Raven), played rugby in high school and is now with the Eagles. He and Mailata are both from Samoa. A coincidence they're both with the Eagles this season? It may be. Steelers may think Eagle's are on to something.... Rugby player Christian Scotland-Williamson has never played football. The Steelers don't care

    2018 FCS Football polls

    Most FCS polls have 6 teams from the CAA in their top 25. We'll play them all. Am hoping for at least competitive games vs FBS opponents, or an upset to prove them right. "Compughterratings.com" has Towson at #42.

  16. Just because he's playing rugby doesn't mean his football career is over. In recent years, there's been an increasing number of ruggers that have been trying to cross over to the NFL. Most recently...... The Eagles used a late draft pick on a gigantic Australian rugby player who's never played US football

    Keep the info flowing Mat. Not easy to stay energized about one one of the biggest sleeping giant's of college athletics. Had we followed our FCS championship appearance with continued success? NCAA BBall Tournament runs, it would be much easier. Or if we were in a mainstream conference? I.E. if in the ACC, our student body is about the same size as Clemson, 1/3 larger than Duke and 3 times larger than Wake Forest. That, and we have a better media market. Am not dismissing other factors, but, saying were like Joe Flacco before he transferred to Delaware. Anyway, maybe other media apps could be integrated into this page. I.E., a Towsonfans.com Facebook page? Twitter & Instagram account? Would be more outlets to let fans know where to come for information, interaction, perspectives, they may not get anywhere else. 😎

    "Jermon Bushrod (74) rejoins the New Orleans Saints this season, the team that drafted him 11 years ago and with which he won a Super Bowl three years later. Bushrod, a versatile lineman, is looking to make the Saints as a backup for multiple positions." https://www.iberianet.com/sports/versatile-veteran/article_d6a339bc-9f74-11e8-a896-63848c96824a.html
