This does not exist. You merely make this up that there are those (on this board at least) who celebrate this. It might be mentioned as a stat, and we might even say it is better than sucking. However, I don't think anyone views this as having arrived where we need to be as a program. This is where I think you put some of those words in people's mouths. We probably put words in your mouths that might not be fair too.

I think Towson should do another Zoom meeting about NIL for football and basketball to explain about giving to NIL. What it means and what's the difference between giving to TAF (Tiger Athletic Fund) and the TU Collective for NIL. From my understanding, these sponsors are mainly about giving these kids their products. There is not a ton of $$$ involved, but I don't know the exact details. In other words, we have to, for the current coach and future coach, to buck up and make payments towards NIL. I'm not saying pay something that you can't afford. I give a monthly/yearly fee in NIL for both sports because I want to do and I feel if I'm going to talk the talk, I better walk the walk. My understanding is that not everyone is on board with paying student-athletes. That's not even an assumption. It's the truth and I get it, but it's an arms race. If the few wealthy donors we have and the rest who can afford a modest amount, are not willing to give a nice sum for NIL, we're going to miss out on key transfers and will end up with the "meh" players we've added over the last two seasons (Jones, Tarke, Sulaiman, Sylla, Russell). I think what we have available is good enough to retain most of our young returners. https://towsontigers.com/feature/TowsonNIL?path=nil https://gohcollective.com/ https://gohcollective.doubleknot.com/registration/donate.aspx?activitykey=2973795

Just think, Cam Spencer was UCONN's second choice, after being spurned by Timberlake (HAHA). Things have a way of working out (or you get lucky). Spencer was an X factor all season and was a big piece in this title run. Nick would not have been able to replicate anything similar what Spencer did at UCONN.

UConn likely returns the core of Clingan, Castle, Karaban & Johnson plus have a bunch of current freshman and sophomores. Add more shooters and make a run at a 3 peat which we haven’t seen in 50+ years. Towson should fire Pat now and hire Luke Murray ASAP but of course won’t happen.

I’m getting stoked for football season. Trying to not drink my own kool-aid but can’t help but feel like Towson football is going to take a major step forward this season (regardless of what happens in Cincinnati).

38-16 is equal to the Orioles dominating Spring Training....just something meaningless to talk about

You can't win a low mid-major three or four-game tournament either.

So clockball isn't only for the basketball team?

Pray we didn’t lose a possible recruit because of this natural disaster!

Spring Game is next Thursday https://x.com/towson_fb/status/1775907763799167279?s=46&t=nScacl1TWT-KyOwj5stBaw

Will get to a Panthers game this summer to support Simpson who played for Towson State 🫣

A new coach (3), graduation (6), will do that. Add in the portal, it is a yearly thing. Drumgoole of Delaware into the portal and looking to join his 6th team in 7 years (Joking, sort of)

If you really think that I am not sure why you watch any of the games until the conference tournament. That is 22 games over .500 in 54 conference games (70.3 wining %), which is over half (53.5% to be exact) the games we have played the last three years. I know it is not really a great version of the conference, but it is the one we compete in every year. I don't say this to stick up for Skerry or try to give us moral victories. I say it because wining in conference play in the regular season is part of the equation for being a good program. I think it is noteworthy. Not making an NCAA Tournament or having any significant non-conference wins are other parts of the equation, but you can't just ignore the fact that of all the good teams in our conference we are within three games of having the best record the last three years, and are one of only three teams to have finished first or had a share of first in one of those years. If we hired a new coach would you want them to do well in conference play, or does it just not matter at all to you? I know the NCAA Tournament is what matters most, and that is true for everyone here. However, there are other aspects to being a good program. You can say this coach hasn't done enough to lean on those numbers and that is fine, but having a 70% winning percentage in conference games, which are the most important games we play outside of the conference tournament, does not equate to Spring Training.

Nilan played against Fairfield and wasn't very good in the pouring rain. Probably not fair for his first start. Downs struggled against Drexel and then got injured. But he was fine today. Did make the big save at the end when his defense and some awful last-minute penalties nearly sent the game to OT.

Big game on Saturday at home against Stony Brook at 12pm https://x.com/towson_mlax/status/1773426324356633060?s=46&t=nScacl1TWT-KyOwj5stBaw

I completely agree and I did not meant to say we should or shouldn't do it. I just think in general people oversimplify how easy it is to find a coach. It doesn't work out as often as people make it seem like it does. I am really not ever referencing our current situation as much as just the general concept. However, of course it is relevant and we obviously refer to it almost every week on this message board in some way, shape or form.

Sorry. 😂😂😂

Everyone on this board would sign up to have such a problem.

This 10000%. Vcu. Uncw. Charleston have this done. Coaches shouldn’t stay a mid major longer than 1.5 full recruiting classes
