With regard to "big time" donors to the program, does Towson Athletics have any major benefactors?  I know we don't exactly have any T. Boone Pickens-level donors, obviously, but is there a significant, well-known donor to Towson Athletics?  Does anyone know what the single largest donation to TU athletics has ever been?

I think NewDay USA is our biggest donor

He’s from the same alma mater as Keon Payne. Good Counsel high school  produces around 10 D1 scholarships just about every year. We need more of those guys, local talent right in our backyard

Was Jabari greenwood injured this season? I couldn’t believe how he went from our top receiver to Mr. Irrelevant. 

They should tell anyone going to play for Rutgers that they can be on that team that sucks or they can go to Towson and actually win games at a school with much more attractive co-eds

A night uptown in Towson and they’ll be thinking they’re in South SeaSide Heights, NJ 

I love that this forum exists, If only we had 100 more guys just like Mat. That's a good goal to reach!

Need to put most of the scholarships this offseason towards defensive players. The CAA is too good to be weak on D.

The offense is in a good shape to re-load next year

The coaches need some new pieces as well. QB coach to prime Flacco? New offensive coordinator mind to ultimately replace Jammer. The players seem to like Lyndon and Kosmakos but it seems like we need more football minds to get to the next level.

With no basketball worth paying attention to this year we'll all be twiddling our thumbs for next year's football campaign.

I guess we root for JMU or Maine to win it all now? 

We didn't stand a chance against South Dakota State anyways so at least we saved some time and money blowing this one to Duquesne.

Lack of funding

Tough game, almost a good thing that nobody was there to witness it.

We'll be back next year

HAHA. This made me laugh.  No one goes to our games why would there be a channel?

Also, serious question here. Isn't everyone "cutting the cord" now a days, so not being on TV isn't as big of a deal as before?? Right?  I know I am in the minority of someone under the age of 30 who still has cable and prefers to watch via TV rather than on my small phone or laptop... I don't know or do anything with ROKU or Appletv, but are we making a bigger deal out of this lack of tv deal? (I want the Comcast deal back as I love to watch other games around the conference)

Because it’s the trend at all colleges in America and in the NFL that people do not go to games because the experience of being able to stay at home and watch is better

We need to create a Towson television station. Get some random channel like 77 they can get at a discount

Exciting that most of our guys will be back next year with playoff experience under their belt. 

Why can't we recruit in MARYLAND the top recruiting grounds in the nation? They need a star point guard no matter how bad his GPA is. Gotta get dirty to play ball some times

I sure hope those tickets actually get used

I wonder if it was Amy Schumer who donated

lolol to whomever is over on the duquesne boards 

From the Duquesne Board

”My only other experience with TOWSON is many years ago, at OC Maryland for a week and having the pleasure of having a group of very impressive Towson St, ladies sitting next to us on the beach all week.  I nicknamed them the Towson State Seduction Team!  It certainly brightened up our week at the beach!”

LMAO

A home playoff win is a great accomplishment for the program this year. Beyond that the slate of games that could follow will be brutal. South Dakota State, JMU, and North Dakota State all in the same side of the bracket as us. 

I'd be interested to know if they can get the data on how many people tune in via ESPN3. That would be a cool stat to compare vs the attendance of who is at the game.

towson is hiring a senior associate director of fan development. The job is to sell season tickets and promote attendance at athletics events. If you are passionate about the program, apply! The team needs you!

Use promo code “Groups” for $5 tickets(max of 4)

Who is in charge of marketing for this football team? 

It’s not limited to last week, SAFE, Deb Moriarty, TUPD, and the adminsitration are overzealous at making sure no fun is had

Any chance we get a home playoff game with a win on saturday?

Gotta spend money to make money. I would try to get a promo code (say TUTIGERS) for Uber for a $5 credit to get a ride to the game would be effective.

Snapchat filters for the game but pay for it to show in the whole state of Maryland, not just in Towson.

With playoff implications and this being a heavy weight showdown of two of the best in the country you would think the game would sell itself...but only at Towson anything can happen. 

Cannot have a packed U full of purple shirts. I'm concerned it might look like a Ravens game this Saturday.

Still lots of time to play. It feels like we have gotten some fortunate calls on the road so far. NEED to protect Flacco so he doesn't throw the ball to the other team, again.

Doesn’t John Davis play professionally in Australia now? Need his help to find some international talent. 

Flacco's are elite during playoffs games! Survive and advance, it's essentially March Madness for the football team. These next few weeks will be a lot of fun to see how everything shakes out.

Al Davis said it best just win baby win
