Dane Pound

Nice! Another Minnesota player along with Wheeler Baker. He had a nice list of competing schools on VC and as DRG said, we can use a big guy. KYLE MCKINLEY - 2015 - PF - NET GAIN SPORTS McKinley is a tough forward on the interior who can score from the block or do some work facing up in the short-range. He rebounds the ball well on both ends of the floor and creates disruptions for opponents on the other end with his 6-10 frame and length. His overall skill-set is still developing, but he is really becoming a go-to player inside. - See more at: http://www.ny2lasports.com/article_one.aspx?articleid=2065#sthash.Ur8KImSj.dpuf

According to the ESPN stats, Stony Brook threw 10 passes total in that game. 3-10 for 26 yards with 1 INT were the passing numbers.

Next week's opponent, URI, is having the woodshed dropped on them by Fordham. I was watching that game for a while until it wasn't a game anymore. 40-0 in the third.

One Bid Wonders has a good if unlikely retrospective on former Great Dane Chris Wyatt. OBW remembers Wyatt for his dunks, I remember him for tossing Justin Rowe of Maine around on the baseline while going for a loose ball. http://www.onebidwon...ks-all-over-bu/

Sounds like some A10 schools got involved and moved him out of our reach.

According to Adam Finkelstein, Mayo just finished up a visit with us. Kyle McKinley and Dan Jech will be visiting over the next week.

It's a small sample size but Omar is first in the conference in rushing so far.

Our defense hasn't given up a score in six quarters. Our offense was better than last week. I will take consistent improvement going into an off week. Two weeks to think about getting that first conference win @URI.

I liked throwing it down the field there. Showed some killer instinct we haven't seen in a while.

They must have heard you. That was a nice looking drive right there.

Aside from winning dramatically, the positives I saw were what Coach Gattuso preaches: -fewer penalties than HC -no turnovers

CCSU beat Towson tonight at Johnny Unitas Stadium.

We are going to win games in the 4th quarter on toughness and guts. And luck. Crazy, motherflippin luck.

No Coker for SB tonight. Not sure why he didn't play.

Stony Brook is in a tussle with Bryant in their home opener tonight. They're down to the Bulldogs 13-7 with under 2 minutes in the 4th.

Gontarek was the first guy Coach Gattuso talked about and now I see why. Projected as starter and also kickoffs and punt returns as a true freshman. Surprised not to see Presley Beauvais on the depth chart anywhere. He had some productive games last year.

One more game. At Niagara on Dec. 30th - http://www.purpleeag...spx?path=mbball

You should know better than that by now... I should. Morally wrong maybe but factually correct.

Looks like we also have a visit lined up in Sept. for Jamir Andrews, a 6'3 guard. His other visits are Bowling Green and Washington State. Pretty good company to be recruiting with.

I was hoping Haggy was wrong. That stinks. I know some people who went to the women's game just to see her play.

Plus the game at the TUC on Dec. 13th. We should still have a couple more OOC games I would guess. We usually have 12 or so.

Good news on McKinley, he will be visiting in September. Hopefully he commits so I can start working on some Mount McKinley shirts for next year.

A few more games announced today: home game vs. the Q. Nov. 22 at St. Francis (PA) Dec. 6th at Bucknell Dec. 8th. A long weekend in Altoona?

We haven't announced it yet but they have. Women @ Marist.

The NCAA vote was held today and the Big 5 conferences seem to have what they wanted - http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jon-solomon/24626578/power-5-conferences-get-lower-voting-threshold-in-ncaa-proposal June Jones, SMU's head coach, thinks the non-Big 5 conferences (American, CUSA, MAC, Mountain West and Sun Belt) should start playing football in the spring so they don't compete with the Big-5.
