I think that is a fair jump from last week.

STATS ranking is the best out there. #12 is fair.
For computer rating #4 is way too high. Sagarin has us #130 in
the country and I think #19 in FCS. Massey ranks us #15 in FCS.

I have to agree with a couple of u, this team is 7-2 and u would
think from reading these posts that they are 2-7. With one loss
to FCS teams and the other to South Florida. This is big boy FCS
football and sometimes u have to give credit to yhe other team
for having good players and coming to play. Delaware, Richmond,
and Albany all had very good QB's and wr's. SB was down two
starters this week in Haggert and Paris, one being an AA and the
other all conf. Plus and in the leadership they bring. Someone
posted that the top def playet is returning kicks, thats not
true its two rb's. Most schools play their best players on
special teams, Penn St had the top back in the country returning
kicks. And all this noise about 88 not being used in the passing
game is getting silly now. He is a nice player who has been
versitile for SB by playing different positions ( DL, TE, OL )
but lets stop making him out to be the second coming of Gronk.
He has been here for 6 yrs now maybe the staff knows something
about him that u dont, again great team player. Was Albany game
sloppy, yes it was but good teams win those games and this team
has shown that they no how to win games like that. Instead of
enjoying a playoff run all u hear on the thread is negative
nonsense and all the better coaching that u could do. Most
people root for teams not for the coach to be fired every 2 min.
And again i personally dont root for coaches, i want the team to
do well.

I just want to add that I love CAA and how competitive it is. So
glad we play in this conference with peer institutions rather
than Big South or NEC. I don’t know if Long Island (and
northeast region) will ever be ready for big time FBS football,
but playing competitive football in the CAA (SEC of FCS ;)) so
much rewarding than being at the bottom of FBS food chain
(Buffalo, Umass, UConn, BC etc.) who have nothing to look
forward to every November/December.

iBO for that very reason, i keep an eye on the Big South. sure,
it looked like a bad move when Coastal got hot recently, but our
SoS is improved and the CAA gets more teams in.

Leaving the Big South was always going to be a positive move. It
was a football only move and made all the sense in the world.
Even now the Big South has two teams that could finish 10-1
overall, but still not get a seed and be ranked behind us
because of the weakness of that league. It's also actually
weaker now than when we were there. Us, Coastal, and VMI are all
gone, and Liberty is gone after this season.
The Coaches poll has been a farce this year, but even they have
us at 15. STATS has us at 12 which is more accurate. Win out,
and I think the selection committee will look favorably upon us.
The only threats to us from a seeing perspective are Southern
Utah and Elon (if they beat JMU). South Dakota is certain to
lose one of the next two at least, and WIU has three losses.
We're looking good guys. Just take care of business. A
conference title is still a possibility too, but needs serious
chaos.

The game against Albany was very intents, but our team did what
they needed to do to win. Some of you all might feel that the
defense the Legion of Wolves is not that great but I feel that
the defense is awesome those five young men put their heart and
soul into the games along with the rest of the defense players.
I do feel that coach P coaches on his emotions and feeling
towards most of the players and he needs to stop and remember
there is no I in team. I feel that he does not believe in the
teams abilities and he does not trust their capabilities as
players. The team will only play as good as the person who is
in charge. Coach P needs to learn how to let his staff
participate in helping him. There is no player on the team
better than the next, but every parent, family member would like
to see the player they come out to represent touch the field and
it is understandable because everyone will believe that their
child is just as good as the next player. But this is not about
who is the best and who should play and not play. This should
be about SBU getting to the playoff after not getting in for
five years.
Coach P is going to be coach P but Saturday just showed his true
abilities as a coach. What coach has his own fans booing them
that was crazy. Right now we need to stay focus on what is
important to the team and that is them getting to the playoffs.
Go SBU!

Well said and spot on.. Something a lot of us have been saying

Either love him or hate him, he's not changing is style of

There's no question that Priore's record has been very mediocre,
especially in light of the playoff drought for such a large
university like SBU. I wouldn't give him much credit for earlier
playoff appearances. The only reason they made it there was
because of two "gifts" dropped in his lap when Hofstra dropped
its program and freed up two outstanding running backs. This
playoff year could very well be an outlier. Any contract
extension should not be based on what happens this year...the
program could revert to the mean next year.
