We got lucky actually. We're on the much easier side of the
bracket. Had we won, it's quite possible we'd be hosting
Duquense this weekend, but then have to travel to South Dakota
State. Sometimes it pays to lose (something Coach P knows all
too well).
This is a winnable game for us. While SEMO State has a good
record, the conference they play in is an absolute Joke. They
said on the selection show that we're the only road team to be
favored heading into next weekend. We should absolutely win this
one. Assuming Coach P can actually get our guys focused (tall
order based on yesterday) and angry about yesterday's loss, this
ought to be a win for us.
More than anything, I'm actually happy to be playing somebody
other than the usual Patriot or NEC team. This is a team we
otherwise would probably never play. I wish it was a home game
though. We must have messed up the bidding process this year to
not get the game. They take the bid amount, stadium quality,
etc. into account and Lavalle stadium is much nicer than their
stadium.
I'll take a closer look at their team in the coming days, but at
first glance this ought to be a win. We should be the biggest
team they've played all year.

Got lucky after that horrible game against Albany in which our
coaching was horribly exposed- the CAA gets a ton of respect and
we are lucky to be in this conference. I have no idea what SE Mo
State is like but its neat to be playing a different team.
Let's take it one game at a time. Carbone cannot lay that
absolute egg that he did at Albany. These will be the last
football games that these seniors play. Priore needs to wake up
and coach a heck of a lot better too. I'm still not a big Priore
fan but he needs this program to take the next step- that means
making it deep into the playoffs.

Just to note: Stony Brook wasn't even in the last 3 in as per
selection committee.
That loss to Albany hurt us. but not that much

As I said on another thread, felt we’d get in when Delaware was
announced, but when Elon was announced, thought we were done,
since I figured they gave them a phantom win when their
Hurricane game was canceled. Lucky to be in, and need to use
that as momentum now. Saw the “highlights” of yesterday’s game,
and to lose the game after the Hail Mary TD is totally
inexcusable. Cost them a home game for sure. Need better
decision-making and time mgmt during this 2nd season.

Lets acknowledge some of these seniors and the careers they have
had. Guys like Haggert who came back from 2 acl surgerys to be a
4 yr starter and captain. Liotine who wasnt expected to do
anything as a walkon from a small school, to one of the top
backs in the CAA and in the top 5 at SB in rushing and all
purpose yds. McGinty and Lawless both in top 5 in tackles. These
kids are easy to root for. Stony Brook is not lucky to be in the
CAA, they earned it by doing what they did in the big south. If
you are an alumn and root for the school then do that and enjoy
the kids who play for the team. Hard work goes into making the
playoffs 2 yrs in a row. Home game wouldve been nice but lets
not say that Heilibran screwed up the bidding process. The lose
yesterday probably had to do with that. The only mention on this
thread about this team is how Priore stole your lunch money.
Coaches are coaches, the players make the engine run. The
feeling of failing so the coach goes is really getting old. That
is not supporting the players or the team. What hasnt been
mentioned from yesterdays game was the lame flag thrown on
Wheatley for taking his helmet off during the hailmary
celebration. That moved the kick back and thus brought on the
squib kick. Bottom line is this team is in the playoffs again so
either get on board or jump off cause its getting old.

C'mon. Can't you see this is the brilliance of Coach P? See he
knew somehow that if he could blow this game, we would be placed
in a weaker bracket. He's one smart dude and no wonder SH gave
him that extension. Now I am just wondering if Coach P in his
bonus package of making the play-offs (cant find his details but
I thought it was around $10k for making the playoffs) is he
going to give some of that to the Delaware HC in the form of a
bonus?
As to the idiotic squid kick call this shows just how goofy his
thought process is.. Instead of telling Courtney to keep it deep
left (or even right) and let it go about of bounds around 30, he
squibs it RIGHT to the friggin guy who returns it 18 yards. How
someone with his "coaching experience" is not called out on this
and expecting all of us to just say... "Oh Well" Is unacceptable
for a coach who making a base salary of 418K. He also called
that stupid timeout a few weeks ago after a TD again someone
else when they were getting ready to be penalized.

Here we go again with the excuses. Right on cue. ;D
We have some truly fantastic players in this program, we really
do. There's enough talent on this roster to go all the way to
Frisco. We've dropped the ball at developing some positions,
which is why we have some of the struggles that we do, but we
have some some fantastic young men in this program. They all
graduate and get good grades. No issue there.
With all of that in mind though, we lost to a 2 win team when
potentially a playoff berth, conference title, and first round
bye were on the line. The combined record of the two teams
Albany beat is 8-14 and both of those wins were by seven points
or less. That's unacceptable. It's not the first time either as
there's no shortage of games over the past five season we lost
either to inferior teams, or were outright lucky to win. When
the stakes are that high, and the team doesn't perform, who do
you think that falls on to? Once again, it's not the first time.
The way Shawn talks, you'd think he's trying to get us into the
Big Ten, and that's awesome. But if we're going to make the
athletic department "big time," we as fans can't start coming up
with excuses like "we're not Ohio State" when we lose critical
games to bad teams. You cannot have it both ways. You can't
aspire to be a premier athletic department, but then act like
we're playing youth football when the results don't materialize.
We spend a hell of a lot of money on athletics. Our spending
puts us at 5th place among FCS public schools.

Far too much to just
expect average results. Last year we paid Coach P more than
Buffalo paid their coach
HTML https://nypost.com/2018/02/22/football-coaches-among-highest-paid-state-employees/,<br
/>and in total, we're spending low FBS money
HTML http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/
on coaches salaries.
When you spend money like that (as we should) it's not
unreasonable at all to expect better results than last night.
On one final note, actually yes, there is a bidding for hosting
playoff games that takes the facility, gate revenue, etc. into
account. This video put out by the NCAA at roughly the 10:30
mark outlines these procedures.

Something must have gone awry, because by all objective measures
we should be hosting this game. For all our attendance woes,
SEMO State had worse attendance
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Southeast_Missouri_State_Redhawks_football_team<br
/>than we did this year. They only had 3,100 people show up for
a
top 5 Jacksonville State team. That's all water under the bridge
now though. Time to prepare for the game and win this one.
All in all, I'm excited to play a different team from another
conference, and will be eagerly watching the game next Saturday
afternoon. Go Seawolves!
