After a good night of sleep and a brisk walk over to the Golden Gate Bridge where I contemplated jumping before remembering I still have to get the second Pfizer shot on the 29th it all became clear to me who is ultimately to blame for our 30+ year drought and misfortunes 🏀

David Simon...   that’s right. 
Homicide Life on the streets then The Corner and then The Wire.  He single handedly has killed our recruiting endeavors.   

Elaine mentions Towson in 1992 which should have set off a chain reaction of 6-8 more NCAA tournament appearances but that damn Homicide show pops up on Friday nights at 10 and kills any chance of us recruiting shooters!!!

 

Elaine Benes was also an Orioles fan

How do we feel about Rob? As strongly as Pat?

I’m pretty sure Ambrose is in the last year of his contract, so I would think he’s gone if we don’t make the playoffs this fall. If for no other reason than the great 2013 postseason run, his tenure, in my opinion, has been more successful than Skerry’s 

[tu_fan 110]

Yep - Rob took us to the title game.  He also brings in game changing transfers with regularity.  No comparison between the two until / unless Skerry can get us to a regular season title on NCAA tourney.

Btw, Loyola won tonight & is now a W away from going dancing

Comparing a bad coach who got lucky with a the most dominate player in the league who fell into lap vs an even worse coach who was fortunate to get a once in a generation transfer... both have not been successful

65-53 against fcs. 28-7 with Terrance. So 36-46 without a generational talent.  Attendance on the major decline year after year. He has adjusted to the game better than pat (that’s not difficult) but he’s Really never been able to have a great/good defense. Some serviceable ones but not great.

Caa football is also way down the past 5-6 years

CAA football is not on a downward trend.  FCS football may be, but the CAA is the preeminent FCs league in the nation.

Football has had to climb the mountain in terms of resources since Rob arrived.  With the new practice facilities and a refurbished field house,  we are getting closer.

All programs have had to. But don’t tell that to the man in charge..

I do find it hilarious that when we land a good recruit/transfer its lucky but when the recruits/transfers arent good, its all the coaches fault.  How many NFL players did we have before Ambrose was the HC? 2???
