       Sorry for that off topic post. I'm a bit under the weather I
       guess...
       Attedance was poor. Not more than 4k. About 100 students in the
       endzone. Not what  I expected.
       SBU and Albany continue to draw the same anemic crowd from the
       old NEC days

       I think this ending to the season bodes well for next year.
       Considering the injury-plaugued season, once a few of the key
       players got back on their feet the team showed some muster and
       desire.  Just think, Tye, Kenner, Fredericks and Coker will be
       back, as will several excellent young defensemen.  Also, some
       real good freshman redshirted this year.  I'm encouraged.

       Don't forget  # 13  Levelle  he can fly when he gets the ball.
       We will be ok  in 2014. Now who  is our QB going to be ?

       I have two majors concerns for next year. One is the obvious,
       Quarterback.. I've been saying all season we need a double or
       triple option Q who can grow with the team, no more starting
       seniors who only play for one season..... Carlos Hernadez and
       Pat D'Amatto are unproven at this time.. AJ Otranto could be a
       quarterback to keep an eye on for next season This position is
       the key to next year success in the CAA..... The second major
       concern is the DB..... I know we have some young DB this year
       who were outplayed on many occasions.. If we can bring in some
       Juco or FBS transfers, that would shore up that breach in the
       defense. ..... Our DL and linebackers  got a A- this season..
       They played real well with many RB being stuffed.. ON Offense,
       we lose some seniors on the left side. Lets hope we bring in
       some more big beef on that side, like Arthur Dokes...... TE,,
       What can I say we are sold with Will Tye coming back and Connor
       Davis will be a Sophomore,,,,With his height, 6'8" we are
       looking sweeeeeet ... I think in the RB position,  we are strong
       assuming Coker is ok to play, but we're very deep with Kenner,
       and Fredericks and Poteat recovering....At WR, we lose Malcom
       Eugene huge problem for us. Coxson is will be a senior next year
       but he was taken away by ambulance yesterday, condition unknown
       . Lets hope it's not a carrier ending injury. One or two Juco
       transfers with height could really help in this dept....

       Well, Hammer, I guess I'm just a little bit more optimistic than
       you are--here's some of the reasons why:
       1) You've forgotten the most probable starting QB next
       year--Conor Bednarski; and I think he has the potential to be a
       really good one.
       2) You mention Coxson returning, but I believe Jahrie Level
       (who's displayed some great hands and speed in hi  limited
       action) is likely to really come into his own at WR.
       3) Re: DBs, I'm still hopeful that Reuben Johnson and Davonte
       Anderson may be considered for medical redshirts this year based
       upon their season-ending injuries.  Also, there are some pretty
       good freshman coming up--at LB also.
       All that being said, you know that Priore is going to come up
       with a few terrific transfers.  He always does.

       Gold, I agree with you assessment of the QB prospects.
       Bednarski arrived last January with more than 20 college games
       under his belt at the JUCO level.  he redshirted this season and
       must be the front runner for next season.  I understand we open
       the season in Cincinnati, who are 9-2 right now.  I think we
       will need a solid kid under center next year as we open up on
       the road with a very tough game.
       Hammer:  Coach P does not need a double or triple option QB, we
       don't run that kind of offense.  we need a kid that can complete
       60-70% of his pass attempts, while keeping the defenses honest
       by being able to throw the ball down field when needed.  While
       Negron was a warrior this season, he was wildly inconsistent.
       we need consistent play out of the QB position next year to be
       successful.
       On the subject of SB offense schemes, I listened to the webcast
       of the game yesterday, and the color announcer kept mentioning
       how Coach P's main offensive approach is the ground and pound
       running attack.  I wonder if he has been reading this board, and
       our hopes that the offense will be opened up a bit in the
       future, and move away from the traditional Old School Running
       Game that Coach P loves.
       Here's to SB lining up some nice non-conference games for next
       season.  I still think a home/home with Sam Houston State would
       be sweet, along with some quality local foes like Leghie (sp)

       BFF. I agree and know Priore does not run that type of offense,
       and why is that. It's because he never had to. Stepping up to
       the CAA as we are all aware now, is extremely tough. Teaching or
       recruiting a Quarterback to be a double option player only adds
       to the diversity that is needed in this league.. Why do you
       think all the TV announcer say " Ground and pound" It's because
       we did that for years and everybody knows that and it worked
       very well in the BS but, in the CAA and against some FBS schools
       you need to have a 52  deck of cards at your disposal if the
       ground and pound isin't working.....Having another bullet in the
       chamber is a good thing in a gunfight !!!!!

       Hopefully   we get one of the new guys to play at QB
       Bednarski would be ideal. Also  need offensive lineman,
       linebackers and  defensive backs.    Let a new guy  develop into
       the  QB spot rather than lose him after one season.  Even in the
       NFL it takes awhile to develop a good seasoned QB.   OOC teams
       would love a home and away  with Lehigh. Sam Houston St or even
       a Citadel or Furman. All  are solid programs.   Well now onto
       hoops then  lax and baseball. waiting to see who we sign  for
       football though.

       Don't forget Carlos Hernandez he has good field of vision & make
       quick reads & he usually gets rid of the ball within 2 to 2 1/2
       seconds.
       How about the play of the TE Connor; he hasn't played DE since
       August 2012. He was able to put pressure on the QB several times
       & 1 sack.
       They needed players to step up n help at hey positions.

       ecasadoSBU:  I meant to respond to your post from yesterday
       sooner.  I feel your pain as you move on from the student
       section to the sideline seats.  I guess that is a stage of life.
       sounds like the weather, the small crowd and the rather
       meaningless game (in terms of a playoff run), make the malaise
       all the greater.  lost of good SBU sports ahead this winter and
       before you know it, it will be time for spring football 2014
       once again.
       hopefully games against the likes of Bryant and Colgate are
       things of the past.  we have Albany and Rhody as the patsies of
       the CAA, that is enough "easy" games in the season schedule.
       one more note:  I got an email from the SB Athletics Dept
       yesterday regarding the internet video feed.  they said they
       plan to upgrade the quality of the internet feed for next
       season.  that will be a big plus for those of us that cant
       travel to the home games.
