Bay Area Tiger

Losing a father truly sucks. Glad he has his son with him. Condolences to Coach. I’m lucky to still have my Dad and truly cherish every interaction with him when he texts me to complain about all 4 Philly Sports Teams. His father worked for Sealtest Ice Cream (over night shift) and coming back from WW2 all he did was work like my Dad coming back from Vietnam and working for Sears. Hang in there Coach Skerry.

I’ve accepted he’s coaching the next 2 seasons. I’m not in favor of it but the show must go on. Choices are boycott this program or continue to support. We are all hostage right now. So I’m gonna do my part as an alum and fan to assist in any way I can to help Towson sports 🏀🏈🐯 None of us can switch teams.. not allowed in the rule book.

We unfortunately can’t move him in the portal for a wealthy donor!

I want multiple players from the portal and supposedly we have more money in the coffers to spend with the 1-2 punch likely off the books. I’m simply telling you what the market is for a legit serviceable big man. We had no money left last season and hence why we ended up with Mor Seck.

University of San Francisco and Saint Mary’s play in HS gyms and continue to get a ton of home games. Hard to understand why we can’t get more teams to come to SECU.

All joking side we need to go back to Canada 🇨🇦🥶 to play. Orlando screwed us up this season royally. Until we can become a consistent basketball team we should suffer on long bus rides and play games in far off places to mentally toughen up. May I suggest a game this coming season in Missoula Montana. Every mid major is scheduling lower division teams… hoping we can limit it to one game is all. This offseason gonna need to pony up $750k at a minimum for a legit big man mid major transfer. Can we afford that and add other pieces?! More importantly we need a new coach with fresh eyes at the very least. Maybe Patsos comes on board!?

The Basketball 🏀 Gods said we need to suffer 2 more seasons of agony and Towson torture! I wish I were wrong.

Not picking on a religion of course but Utah Valley & Cal Baptist… one will be dancing and here we are 35 years later in a suburb of Baltimore with no NBA team present and where Carmelo Anthony once played and we are fishing 🎣 today and have been this time of year before filing our taxes and attending baseball games at Camden Yards. WE ARE CURSED!

Having a relapse…. thought I was good 😞 35 years and how 🤔 couldn’t we have made it at least once.

Time to start brainstorming.. although I didn’t attend a home game all of the giveaways looked great. I previously mentioned the “Towson is Torture” t-shirt idea I don’t see us doing another bobblehead this coming season as we shuffle the roster completely. Maybe a retro jersey from the 80’s?!? I know priority one for a giveaway would be a Towson stress ball of some sorts.

If they add a new older experienced coach to the staff then I’m ok bringing Womack back. I love his intensity and competitiveness early on in the season however his body language didn’t progress as the season went on. I don’t know. Will he snap in the 2026-27’ season!? Poise and composure win games. Maybe the offseason helps and as a lone returning player he takes on more of a leadership role. Definitely a talented player.

Tremendous and appreciated 👏 This all kinda should be on patreon 💵 mind you.. we are spoiled! As we say the show must go on and it will cause we all love Towson. My depression ended last night upon returning from Vegas although I did have a relapse today cause of McNamara dancing with Siena in year 2 🫣 Here’s hoping Mahaney & UCSB lose to Davis 🤞 All I can do is my part to spread the word about Towson sports, buy merchandise and wear it weekly. Continuing to share info on athletes here in the Bay Area to coaching staffs to no avail. EG/City College of San Francisco is a factory for 🏈🏀athletes I can’t control who coaches the team or how much we pay each athlete etc (every rostered player for Santa Clara this season made a minimum of $300k or more… yes life is never fair) I was around Gonzaga & Saint Mary’s fans from Sunday-Tuesday and the takeaway is they buy all the gear, wear it and travel 🧳 extremely well. We are not those programs however I have no more excuses as second son is graduating HS. I need to attend games next season and do my part! 4th in attendance for the CAA is commendable and something to build on. I’ve lost “3” Towson classmates past 6 years (I’m 53 mind you) That’s too damn young. I make a point to live for them and the hope some day we dance 🕺 Dave Mertz Towson State Alum 96’ Twitter handle @mertz_david

Not that we would have landed here however if we did I would have bought everyone in attendance frozen yogurt 🍦 When we do finally make it wherever we get shipped I’m going on a moments notice…. Pittsburgh, Omaha, Fort Worth, Spokane, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Louisville, Sacramento… Tulsa, Orlando, Columbus, Salt Lake City, Brooklyn, Des Moines, Birmingham, Seattle… ✈️🏀 2028 West Regional in San Francisco!! Mark your calendar March 23rd

Condolences. Lot was going on this past weekend so when he and his son had verbal & social media alterations with CofC fans it was understandable. If my father was dying I’d have a short fuse as well.

Gonzaga gets football 💵 from Pac10 despite being a basketball only school. The rich get richer! What a deal.
