Awesome...wish two of our better players didn't bail on the team. *sigh*

There'll be alot of people filing past our new multi purpose stadium.

Nice exposure to begin with....

I agree

[Dane Pound]

Nice! I hope we took a few notes from Hartford's fan fest area and apply them next year. Otherwise, great news.

 

To recap:

Football made their first playoff appearance.

Women's basketball made their first NCAA.

Men's basketball was a game short of 20 wins with the 7th leading scorer in the country

Both lax programs are in the championship game on Saturday.

We're hosting next year's tourney.

Oh yeah, there's that whole new football stadium thing...

 

Once we get over the whole Suero leaving thing we'll realize this was a pretty good flippin year!

This is why I get so ticked off when I read on other boards about how SBU is a better fit for the CAA. We've had WAY more success in D1 athletics!

Add in a nationally recognized M&W Track program to that list and double WOW!!!

On-field or court success is not a major factor for conference affiliation. Media market and institutional commitment are the two top reasons why schools get targeted.

 

Stony Brook has us beat by a mile in both of the those factors.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I noticed tonight after all the students left that they updated one section of bleachers with purple fronts instead of the gray. Maybe they will all be updated before the AE Tournament in March.

I noticed it when I first took my seat in the gray endzone, took a double take before I realized the change. If anyone has any information on this let us know. Awesome if they are going to make the endzone purple. Would definitely improve the look of the arena.

[Clickclack]

I wish there was a way to wrap the corners...like Bing does...does anyone know if that is possible? Maybe not financially at the moment...that would nicely make a bowl.
