TU2018

Anyone else surprised that Flacco wasn’t at-least picked up as an undrafted free agent? Sounds like he was going to have a pro day if it weren’t for the virus and the local media outlets and even ESPN who ran a front page story about his potential to be drafted. Obviously know being brothers with Joe will bring more media attention but seemed like he had a decent shot at getting drafted?

I understand the athletic department has to start with small goals, but they are pulling out all the stops to try to get get 1,200 students to the game. TU is nearing an enrollment of 25,000 students. So if they somehow do get 1,200 students in the arena tonight, that’s less than 5 percent of the student body in attendance. Pretty insane, we have so far to go. I watched the VCU game on Monday night (former CAA school), the arena was filled to the top and their student sections on both sides were packed and going crazy. They play in the A10, those schools don’t have much more if any, name recognition as the CAA. Where did TU Athletics go wrong? Has attendance always been this bad? I graduated in 2018 so have only been following for a few years.

Fire Skerry!

I don’t understand the Flo Sports agreement. Most casual CAA fans are not going to pay to stream games on there computer. Being only online and on a network most people have never even heard of makes no sense to me for growing the league. Why not go back to the one or two games a week on CSN regional networks and let the schools do the rest of there games on TSN for free? Or get a partnership with ESPN, and do most of the games on ESPN3. A name brand channel that’s free and that people are more likely to check out. And then have the conference tournament on ESPN2/U. I have Direct TV and don’t even get CBS Sports Network, so I know no one with cable gets it either.

Couldn’t agree more. If we ever get a win over Maryland, I think it will be up there as being as big as going/winning the national championship. Especially in the state of Maryland/region. The casual and even most hardcore college football fans (unless they went to an FCS school) do not follow FCS football and just think of it as NDSU and everybody else.

Are the lacrosse teams moving there games from Unitas to the soccer complex. I’ve seen Towson mention on twitter and elsewhere that it will be used for lacrosse, but not sure if they just mean for practice? Seems like a lot of top tier lax schools that have a big football stadium do not play at the football stadium and have a lacrosse specific stadium. Ex. Penn State, Michigan, Duke, Virginia, etc

Is Flacco not practicing with the team this spring because of baseball?

WE ARE IN!!!!!!

Delaware vs. JMU in first round, Crazy JMU didn’t get a bye

You guys have a link to watch the selection show or is it on TV only?

By bid do you mean pay the NCAA money or just explain why we should get a home game (up to date stadium/camera stands/attendance). I personally thought the top 8 teams get seeds, bye, Home game, and then the next 8 best teams get a first round home play off game. I thought it all had to do with the quality of the team?

The master plan in 2015 had there being a track there instead of practice fields. I think down the road they were planning to get rid of the track at Unitas and put a fieldhouse type structure in the end zone. Also the new dorms in the Unitas parking lot are interesting. Limiting tailgating/parking even more https://www.towson.edu/facilities/masterplan/documents/execsummarytufinal.pdf

Let’s say Maine wins today, they are up big. Everyone at the top of the conference has 3 losses, with Maine with 1 conference loss and everyone else with 2 conference losses Next Week - Towson (7-3) JMU (7-3) Elon (6-3) Maine (7-3) SB (7-3) Albany UD (7-3) Nova Winners of the top 2 games are in for sure. If UD and SB win they are in. That leaves the losers of the top 2 games in who knows land... Would be crazy if Elon and we lose, do they put Elon in over us even though we blew them out today? Also gotta hope SB losses to Albany

21-3 against #5 in the country, we can do this. This has to be the tougher game right? And JMU is at home?

As a graduate from Towson in May I completely agree. My junior and senior year going to the game wasn't even a thought among my friends/frat because of all the rules and regulations. Everyone goes to day drinks uptown Saturday during the day so why bother going to the tailgate/game when no one is there. It's pretty sad to hear by other people on this thread that the SAFE security was harassing people last weekend. It seemed like there was a decent amount of students and greek organizations which is big, tailgating and at the game. Seemed like they may have gotten something going with getting them out to homecoming that I was hoping would continue and change students mindset but sounds like SAFE ruined any progress, sad. Even alumni in the the alumni lot were getting harassed, crazy. I know it's like at-least $100 to rent a space down there, what makes Towson think treating alums like this is going to make them want to spend money next homecoming on just a place to tailgate lol
