Hey @mat1992 what made you fall in love with towson athletics originally? What keeps you going after all these years?

So days like today kind of make it worth it. We went from having one of the worst losses in school history to having one of the best in just a week’s time.

I don't know what keeps me going other than the fact that I've witnessed 16 straight years of losing basketball. If I didn't quit back then, after watching dreadful basketball, then what's the point? I always saw a glimmer of hope I guess.

What made me fall in love with the program was back when I was a student. I was able to take a trip to Dayton in 1991 with the basketball team and broadcast our loss to Ohio State. I also stayed in Syracuse for three days to broadcast the 1991 championship game against North Carolina (loss). The basketball program won three straight conference titles while I was there. The baseball team and men's soccer team won the East Coast Conference titles. Even the gymnastics team, which I covered for the Towerlight, went to the national championship. Everything basically went downhill after I left except for the football program, which went from getting cut in 1990 to going non-scholarship in the mid-nineties to making the FCS title game in 2014. You can't even write a story about what that program has been through.

I always felt that somebody should cover this program because Maryland has about 10 blogs. I guess I like the hobby and distraction. I'll be there tomorrow at SECU right before and during the NFL games (which I love watching and will DVR), trying to check out MBB practicing about 2 months after I watched them during the summer. I guess you have to love the program to sacrifice a small part of your NFL Sunday to watch practice.

 

You’re the king, Mat! 👑🤴towson is lucky to have you! They could really use 100 more guys just like you

We all do. For the insanely large number of optimists on here, there needs to be others to pull y’all’s heads out of the clouds sometimes. ✌️
