The team gets off to a tough start and everyone leaves this landscape high and dry with football talk? There are as many posts this week about American Ninja Warrior. How disappointing.
Who is coming to Dover on Saturday?
Who should Rob start at QB?
Can our OL protect the QB1 enough to pass? Hold a block long enough to run?
Beat them Hornets!

Not too surprised by the 0-2 start. That happens with a young team.
So the game is over the air on 1300? I've got 1300 on my iPhone and it's the Terp game.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Is the game cancelled?
Tigers up 3-0 with a little over a minute in the 1st half
ugly game so far, but a win is a win if we get it

Thanks for the update Mr. Buggs.
7-3 Del State at halftime
For those of us out of the area Del State is broadcasting the game on their website free of charge.
huge blocked punt for a TD 14-7 Towson
It's going to be a long season.

Andy I don't know the CAA is very weak this year except for New Hampshire and we don't play them
I would be shocked if Towson didn't win at least 5-6 games in the conference.
The league is a far cry from what it used to be

I don't know...maybe. 5 or 6 wins is a lot for a team who did not score an offensive TD against DSU.
They can't beat CAA teams if they can't run the ball inside the 10. They'll need to roll the pocket out more and have to get the ball to Dessenburg, Wilkins and Scott on short routes and hope they can break some long runs. Everybody is going to stack the box against us to stop Victor until we prove we can throw. I think we saw a little bit of that in the 2nd half today but not enough.

I would consider Villanova a tier above New Hampshire, realistically, winning 5 total games would be an over achievement based on how young and inexperienced our squad tends to be this year. I can only hope for incremental improvement over the course of the year and building towards a 2016 contender. This is going to take two years to right the ship, transfers could help speed the process if they decide to go back to that route.

100% agree. This is a total rebuilding year. A lot depends on how the line progresses but I have no idea who is starting, game to game. I think they are trying to figure out who will be there next year and which ones will be left behind. They need to go the transfer route next season, but have to find out which positions they need to fill. I think you start at linebacker, then move to WR (preferably one who is 6-2, 220), maybe TE, cornerback and Oline depending on how they progress. Then at QB, they need one assuming Knudson is not ready and they could always move Connor to WR. But I thought he played his best game today so at least he's improving.
I think we will win 4-6 games this year(former Tiger84). Still like Ambrose as our coach and would not trade him. He's done a good job at a school without any football tradition.

The biggest disappointment for me is the offensive line which had all those extra practices last year due to the playoffs, it's one thing when you're young and need to get some seasoning and experience, however, when the level of talent isn't there and you miss on a couple of recruiting classes this becomes a major setback. It's apparent we have quite a few misses with the previous classes, hence, the reason we are playing the Frosh.
We have possibly the best offensive line coach in the FCS, I can see him bringing these young players up to speed by the end of the year. Just disappointing we missed out on some previous classes.
I have no issue with QB, I can't see how a drop back pocket passer would work at all based on the current personnel up front. Conner's running ability is the true value he brings at QB, if we can't run the ball the offense won't function.
Kudos to Rob for giving T.West his blessing to go after his dream last year. We all thought it was the right decision, and this year confirms it.
