2018 Football
By: Campi47 Date: January 22, 2018, 11:23 am

I am starting this post because there are about a half dozen
people that all they do is come on this site is bitch and moan
about Coach P and his staff and the ones who do this probably
have never coached at the college level or coached at all so I'm
calling on people who appreciate what this staff has done to
start talking up the program and not be like the rest of these
malcontents and love to do nothing but complain for the sake of
complaining.
I personally am going to do something positive this year I have
a call in to the ticket office and will purchase a large block
of tickets for one of the home games this year and donate them
to a HS so that they can bring their players to an SBU game

Campi, Great start. I also told SH, that for EVERY half of
football in 2018 where there is NOT one Seawolf penalty I will
donate $250.00 per half (in addition to what we give already).
Lets see how this "risk/ reward" works out. And I said that if
they wanted to use in the form of a scholarship/foundation I am
more than happy to set-up a foundation effort to support that
similar to other Power 5 programs and others.
As to the coaching side- I think all of us have had issues with
some of the coaching decisions, but that is what they get paid
to do. All this forum provides is a positive/negative view of
SBU sports, and as my grandmother used to say... "Opinions are
like a$$holes. Everyone has one and they normally all stink!

I know as fans we all get frustrated however SBU doesn't have
the big budget to bring in FBS assistant coaches in fact I spoke
to one of the SBU assistant coaches that they have and he said
in order for them to coach on LI they either have to be single
or their spouses have to have good paying jobs.
For SBU to be competitive they have to recruit off of LI because
the top half dozen players want the FBS and so recruiting has
become a 365 day a year job for them so you have to have
assistants who can be on the road a lot. We are not going to get
4 or 5 star players to come here unless they transfer in so we
have to take what we can get and DEVELOP THEM

I've gone to about three (sometimes four) home games a year for
the past six years and round up a few neighbors to go with me
each time. Always an enjoyable day at SBU. And those who have
not been to Stony Brook in a good while are amazed and impressed
by what they see. From the campus, to the stadium, to the
marching band, to the quality of play on the field.
I'm thoroughly impressed with the job Stony Brook has done in
term of assembling a competitive CAA-level team. Kudos to the
coaches and kids. I do think our success in this department is
at least a small part of Stony Brooks University's growing
reputation. SBU is no longer a secret to the academic kids in
the area.
I think the decision to enter a four-game series w/Fordham was
an inspired one and will benefit both schools and may even
build a very nice NY rivalry. Certainly the students at both
schools have much in common. I've already eyeballed the train
route (LIRR to Penn, MetroNorth out of Grand Central, get off at
Fordham Road on the edge of campus).

Me and a bunch of ticket holders have been going to these games
for about 8 years now as well. As far as Being impressed with
the Campus, expanding the stadium, new concession area, marching
band yes, they do a great job for being a FCS team. I am getting
the opposite feed back though with the play on the field. We
feel the play calling and style of plays has not changed since
day one..This is something only the coaches can change..

I think the team is going to be good. A couple studs graduated,
but the team returns a lot and I think they've turned a corner.
Cautiously optimistic

Just checked out the preliminary roster for '18, and a couple of
DL guys are notable by their absence. Any insight into these
guys (Josh Valentin and Odean Gilzene)?

Valentine didnt play last season and was on the sidelines all
season.. Not sure what's up with that. That is a shame
considering how strong he was on defense.

Losing Ousamne Camara to graduation is going to hurt our line.
6'1" 310 lbs. He will be hard to replace..
