I’m on the ground at UC….tailgating with a bunch of UC fans. Been asked multiple times where Towson is located. A few guessed Massachusetts.

The designated Towson fan/family section behind the Towson bench maybe had 50 people. I didn’t see any other random Towson fans around the stadium.

It was funny, several Bearcat fans approached me to make small talk as if I was some weird novelty. They had no clue about our school….where we are located, our conference, etc. You would have thought I flew in from Mars. It was a perfect reminder of why making the NCAA Tournament in men’s hoops is the BEST opportunity for schools to get some outstanding marketing and publicity. Had we made the dance even 2x in the last 15 years, I’m sure there’d be a little more familiarity with the Towson brand.

Exactly and I’m sure that is also partially just Ohio people being midwestern friendly

One guy asked if my wife and I were being treated nicely by his fellow Bearcat fans. I said of course, because we were the scheduled “cupcake”….no one was going to talk smack to the lowly Towson fans.  We were an oddity.

Another way of reaching fans outside of the East Coast is to send players to the NFL and have them make an impression. Before I got to Towson (State_, people in New York/New Jersey were very familiar with the school because Dave Meggett and Sean Landeta were stars on the NY Giants. If only T-West had a better career with the Browns that people in Ohio would remember he went to Towson.
