       Terrific season. This team imo established that Stony Brook can
       play with anyone in FCS football, and compete with FBS teams.
       Looking ahead the future is bright. The running game should
       still be in good hands with South player of the year (maysonet)
       coming back and a former NYS high school player of the year
       (Jevahn Cruz) patiently waiting. On offense we also return
       Essington, Gush, Norrell, 4 of 5 linemen, and all of our
       te's/fb's. This offense is going to be ready to roll next
       season! I think the D will only be better in their second year
       under Nevaiser, and there's definitely some young talent to
       build around.
       In total we only graduate 6 starters. I expect next years team
       to get us our first FBS win, and get us right back into the
       playoffs.

       I second that.  This will be veteran team returning in September
       alot of new guys  got plenty of playing time. . I know we have
       alot of talent in our redshirts  who will be moving up.   We
       should be in good shape for another run at the  Big South Title.

       First off, I have no complaints at all about this season.
       Something that hasn't been mentioned much, but we return 4
       starting O-Linemen, plus we get Fernando Diaz to start next
       season.  I think behind that group, Maysonet is going to have a
       massive year.
       I like the way Priore has been recruiting, and looking at the
       Big South, what we lose is relatively minor compared to Liberty,
       Coastal, etc.

       Not to mention we return all of our tight ends and fullbacks who
       play a big role in our running game.
       I really think the sky is the limit for this team next year.

       Go Brook.
       So I guess we can all agree that Stony Brook will be a force in
       the Big South for the upcoming year and we should be shooting
       for the NCAAs again. We will definitely be the favorites and
       depending on how well the Big South plays you may never know if
       we catch two bids... Okay let me stop, maybe thats going to far
       but I'm hopeful that the Big South continues to climb the ranks
       while we remain a member of it.
       As I said before, SBU Football is here to stay. I'm already
       excited for the upcoming season. I'll be part of the alumni,
       another stage!

       Don't forget about Masengo on D, assuming he's back in uniform.
       He's probably the only four star recruit ever in the Big South.
       Hopefully he's not prone to injury and not realize his potential
       (as was the case with Gowins), but he would be a beast at this
       level.

       Great atmosphere at the Village Pourhouse on west 46th in NYC.
       The bar was packed and erupted frequently!  It was so full i
       waited nearly an hour for a pitcher.
       SB football, i think, is a big play team.  They cause turnovers,
       press the QB, and throw downfield.  It all sets up the wide open
       rushing lanes for big runs.  Cant give our OL enough credit.
       Anyone see the size comparison between the two teams?  SB has
       NFL size averages on the line!
       Loved that the SHSU fans talked trash all week and found
       themselves down 10-3 at half.  SB wasnt fast enough, big enough,
       smart enough, etc.  Turns out they were.

       Liberty brought in there own four star recruit last year with
       Georgia Tech transfer Ryan Ayers, but I agree that he should
       have enough talent to be a significant contributor for us. We're
       going to need him to be fit and healthy because we have to
       replace Kirk and Nelson and he's our only option at the moment.
       Definitely the biggest question mark for next year is the
       interior defensive line.
