It's hard to count now with the Beergarden and Touchdown Club
filled to the brim. All I can say though is that LaValle strikes
the perfect balance between family friendly and adult friendly.
They really have done a great job.

I agree. You can't see the field with the Giant scoreboard in
your view. Behind the visitors side would work.

We've always had some... interesting seating decisions as far as
where we put fans, students, etc. The south endzone was
traditionally always the student section, but the views from
down there aren't the best. I agree having donors on the north
side opposite them isn't the best either. I have no issue
playing around with different locations for both to see what
people like the best.

As far as playoffs, we can lose any one of our remaining three
games and be a lock for the playoffs. Lose two and we'll be on
the bubble with no guarantee we make it in. Lose them all, and
we're back to typical Coach P/SBU .500 football ;D ;D
As far as the CAA race, if we can beat JMU, we ought to be able
to take care of business the rest of the way, and win at least a
share of the CAA title along with getting a playoff seed. Towson
will likely lose one as they still have JMU and Elon to contend
with. There's still plenty of time for chaos in the CAA.
Winning the conference co-championship at 6-2 would also be
possible, but we'd need Towson to lose twice, and JMU to beat
us, but then lose one of their final two games.

You guys gotta give some love to Coach P man...
We are doing far better than our rivals upstate. That could've
been us... Just think about it! It's scary to think we could've
gone that route and be 2-5 right now. Let's enjoy the good times
Coach P and the entire department are doing a great job all
around allowing us to compete at the highest level of the CAA.
I'm very happy with this program right now. Let me say that I
don't expect to beat JMU @ their home at all. That game for me
is marked as a LOSS. I'm more concerned with how we respond
against Delaware and how we close up against Albany (UA always
gives us a heck of game)
That bye week is looking better and better. Whoever planned that
BYE week was a G!!! Our team will need all the rest and
preparation necessary to bring down Delaware and Albany to close
the season.
Let's stay optimistic (besides JMU game)!
GO SEAWOLVES!!!

We're doing great right now, and I've enjoyed the hell out of
this season, especially these last two games, but I cannot
forget about those four consecutive sub .500 seasons. Including
two years ago where we picked up two great wins over ranked
playoff teams, but lost to Sacred Heart at home, and then lost
the final four games of the year to finish 5-6. We were 5-2 that
season only to lose out the rest of the way. We've got two VERY
good teams coming up, and then end the year with a rivalry game
@Albany. I doubt we lose them all, but it wouldn't be the first
time...
For the record, I think we should extend Coach P given how this
season has gone so far, but let's see how we end the season
before unloading the wheelbarrow full of money on his doorstep.
Yesterday's win was only our second win of the year over a team
with a winning record(Bryant is the other).

We have to see how Coach P handles JMU before extending any
contract. If SB wins out, I would only do a year to year
extension.
Despite this season record Carbone numbers is nothing to get
excited about. Yes, he has some good games offensively, but
overall his passing game is nothing to get excited about.
Why do I say that? it's because SB will always have a difficult
time finding a high caliber QB like Flako as long as they know
coach P is at the helm. SB is considered a pound and ground team
and high school kids know this.
SB had 460 total yards in this game but Carbone had 6
competitions for 99 yards. Not good. If Liotine or Gowins go
down because of injuries SB would have to rely heavily on
Carbone passing game.
Like you say, we've seen this before and let's hope history
doesn't repeat itself with losing the last 3 games. Regardless
if SB makes the playoffs or not coach P will get an extension of
at least one year. I just hope it isn't a 5 year extension or a
new 5 to 7-year contract.

Carbone who I have stated before is not going pro but on the
season 12 td 3 picks and 3 rush Td's. He is doing what needs to
be done to win. Team had 2 passing TD's last night ( fields 1).
Nothing wrong with ground and pound when you put up 50 and play
great def. What I really dont get is the fact that instead of
enjoying the wins some on this thread are waiting for the shoe
to drop. This is a good team with big games to play. Some of you
would be happy with a losing season so the coach would go, thats
ridiculous. Here is a point about Priore and the staff. Ty
Wheatly Sr. not only played in the NFL but currently coaches on
an NFL staff with the Jaguars. Does anybody think that this man
with a wealth of football knowledge and contacts would send his
son to SB if he thought that Priore and his staff didnt know how
to coach.

I share the sentiment. We need to be optimistic and back up our
coach. I get it that some people here dislike his coaching
style. But lets be honest, he has us winning... in the CAA!
Some of the guys here thought he would never be capable of
having us in the top tier of the CAA a couple of years ago....
and here we are competing for the top 4 spots in the CAA with a
winning season already in the books.
I get it that we should avoid getting complacent and should
alwats ask for more especially when we have big goals for
program... but at the same time we are competing well in the
toughest FCS league and need to give credit where credit is due.
It took us four seasons to get it done. Our peers from upstate
are still trying to figure it out. That could've been us... Just
sayin!
We should probably be more worried of losing coach P than firing
him at this point.
Let's back up our team and staff fully! GO WOLVES!

well said eddie- and i'll add- we've continually moved up to the
next level, and succeeded.
20 years ago we struggled against teams like ccu. then we moved
up to 1A. then we started beating those teams. then we moved
into the big south. then we started beating those teams. then
we moved into the CAA. then we started beating those teams.
the point is- we are taking baby steps and showing that we can
adjust to each next level. a good sign for the future. GO SB

Totally agree and especially with the last bit about Ty
Wheatley. I think wheatley coming to Stony Brook is a very
positive indicator of how Stony Brook and Coach P are perceived
in football circles.
And the program is just in really healthy shape. We graduated
three seniors (two four year starters in Parris and Garrick)
from last years o-line, but they just plugged in the new guys
and the o-line is probably better than it has ever been. Same
thing goes for the DBs. It was definitely an adjustment period
at first in the CAA, but right now, I really think coach P has
figured it out. And to be honest, last year I was almost
disappointed the team was winning because I wanted coach P gone.
