true.
and back on to local competition- the fact is, in the eyes of
the regional fan, we are probably no different than wagner, SHU,
marist, fairfield, columbia, fordham, iona.

Sadly, most New Yorkers are ignorant and probably assume all FCS
schools are the same without realizing that Stony Brook in the
CAA, the most prestigious conference. I thought getting our
games on SNY last year was a good first step - no other FCS
school has a partnership with one of the most iconic NY sports
channels the way we do. But, that alone won't elevate us,
especially when people can just skip right past it on the TV and
watch something else.

When you say "prestigious" what do you mean? Academically
speaking?? Certainly not #1 in football. The "Missouri Valley
Mountain Conference" is and has been the top football conference
in the FCS for quite some time now.

i havent done the research but getting anyone to faithfully
watch SB football, even on tv, is not going to happen in NJ, CT,
and perhaps even north of the bronx.
that leaves the city. where people just really aren't
interested in football. perhaps if they are SB grads, they will
follow the program. but few are going to cross a river or
bridge to get there.
now we are down to suffolk and nassau. good news- that's like
3m people.
if you want to fill 15k seats, that's 1/200 people on LI.

High school football fills more seats at LaValle than Stony
Brook games do, and that's without them inflating numbers. It's
actually very impressive.

sigh, yes. (not when i played though!)
to my knowledge, LI football was normally saturday afternoons,
but that is somewhat changing (want to hear thoughts on this).
so i wonder how SB football has reacted to that, if at all.
of course, the second half of the season, weather is an issue
for night games. recall we didnt have proper lights until 2002.
newcomers to the old big east made their bones 15 years ago by
playing on wed/thurs nights for the CFB-starved crowd.
louisville, cincy, South Florida, uconn. probably even argue
boise, ECU, TCU, ruTgers, fresno

Quick side note
As if we don't hate JMU enough already, with their fancy
Brideforth Stadium, and being able to pack the house every
Saturday, the school's brand new Basketball arena is opening
this month.

that campus has gone right past us in so many ways and i have no
doubt in my mind they have designs for FBS. they'll be a
national name if they arent already. i think they are.
they have a vibrant campus, a good academic reputation, and a
student body that supports athletics. its reflected in the
product. avg 18k per game. of course, it's priced like a
private school but if virginia pulls it off, why can't we (ohh i
know why no need to write it):

if we arent careful, ualbANy will pass us by as well. i think
they already have.

100% JMU students support athletics so much more than SBU does.
And I'm jealous of it. Duke nation on twitter is bat shit nuts,
it's great. And their student run paper is incredible. I worked
for the Statesman and dealt with the Breeze when they came to
town for a game, it was easy to see why students get great
paying jobs right out of school. But damn do I hate the Dukes.

i think JMU is actually very easy to like- as opposed to our
friends up the hudson. ::) 8)
ive only been once, about 10 years ago, but right then and there
you could tell the dukes have a big future. they'll likely
ditch us soon as they've already outgrown the CAA, i think.
bball arena looks great. better weather, nicer campus, more to
do, longer history. just have change the university's name at
some point...

The Stony Brook student body is fucking pathetic. The school
somehow keeps accepting these pasty-skinned losers who know more
about League of Legends and anime than they do a shotgun
formation. These kids provide nothing of value! Please stop
admitting these people that add nothing to the campus.
Stony Brook also needs to add more out of state and upstate
students. Commuters are also a cancer. Stony Brook isn’t a
“commuter school”, but it still has far too many commuters for
me to be comfortable with.
Change has to start at the administration. The new president
comes from Big 12 Texas? Well start implementing a Big 12
mentality already!!!
