We didn't have a problem in 2012-2014 when we were good and/or
had some hype behind our program. 2014 even had a couple games
above 10k. Now that we've been a doormat for a couple years
people don't care anymore. We beat the #2 team at home last year
and it was the least attended game of the year. Even homecoming
looked empty last year. Priore could damn near kill this program
if we can't finish with a decent record this year and build up
some hype.

I am curious to see where the CAA ranks us this year. I say 2nd
from last place, right behind RI and I hope I am dead wrong but
this is where I think we belong. Maybe the Polls see something
else with this team this year... This week started the FCS
conference rankings..

Hemphill was the only reason we haven't gone 1-10 the past three
seasons, so with him gone, we very likely could be predicted
last in the conference.
We'll probably beat Wagner, but the rest are toss-ups honestly.
I'm sticking with my 3-8 prediction. I haven't seen Fields play
in an actual game yet though so maybe by some miracle he bails
us out and we finish 5-6 again.

I agree wholeheartedly. Losing Hemp was a dagger. Don't be
surprised if Carbone is our starter again because of Fields
inexperience. If this is the case then coach P needs to be let
go after this season. That simply tells me know Q wants to come
to SB to play...

Street & Smith one of the most respected magazines in the
country ranks us 9th
Carbone is going be the starting QB and Fields will get playing
time and that is a fact
The only way Coach P. is let go is if they really bomb as he
still has a lot of support by the ones who make those decisions
The real key to the 2017 season is how physically they get beat
up by South Florida if they come out of it in good shape they'll
be okay however if they come out in bad shape then the season
could be a long one

South Florida could very well be a top 25 or 20 team. I hope
their coach has enough class not to let this get out of hand. I
think he does but I still see something like a 45-7 beating
down there . Overall I guess 6-5 is very optimistic or maybe
5-6 either way the playoffs are still far off.

Campi. I think you are correct about Carbone being the starter.
Coach P hinted to that last fall, on signing day.. I heard it
with my own ears. he said. "Fields needs to prove to him that he
can be a starting quarterback" I didnt like that when I heard it
and a few people in the room looked around at each other as if
like. OHHHHHH NOOOOO..... Carbone is going to be the starting
quarterback again?!?!...
In my warp way of thinking I wouldnt mind if SB goes 1-10 or
0-11.. I thnk 2-9 or 3-8 is more likely the season, but a total
rinsing is what the program needs so they can start over..

I'm a (former) season ticket holder that would almost certainly
re-up if it means seeing Tyquell under center. Carbone was
unfortunately abysmal last year throwing the ball.

its really unfortunate how little excitement there is
surrounding this program- at least on this board- so close to
the season. i truly hope its not a reflection of the larger fan
base.

Four consecutive losing seasons will take all the wind out of
your fan base. We're already a school that struggles greatly
with fan apathy. Imploding every year due to horrid QB play and
mediocre offensive coaching will only make it worse. We're the
dedicated fans and if we're not even excited, just imagine how
the average student and/or fan feels? We'll be lucky to win
three games this season.
Our style of play doesn't help us either. People prefer to watch
the high scoring spread offenses, or at the very least watch
competent QB play if you're running a pro-style system. We
haven't had a good QB since Essington graduated. It's such a
damn shame, because this program has talent and the defense has
been elite.
Had we had even a halfway competent QB we'd have surely made
some playoff runs these past couple seasons with Hemphill
running the defense. Letting Hemphill run off to Wake Forest
rather than promoting him to HC will haunt this program for a
long time. He'll be the HC at a very good G5 program within the
next five years mark my words.
Building hype around your program is a 3-4 year process. We'll
have to start over from square one since none of the current
students or players have experienced a conference championship
season while at SBU.
