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.

Bingo!!! Well said and truthful..
I've been a football season ticket holder for a very long time
and have no plans of letting that go, unless my son Varsity
gan=mnes get in the way, but just last night I was hanging with
a few of my friends who are recent season ticket holders as
well, and some are considering not renewing their tickets for
next season. I asked why!! and was told we suck, plain and
simple..
People go to games to watch their team win games, not lose.
Thats how you build a fan base. They also like to see excitement
something this team lacks the last 4 years.. They also like it
when a quarterback is the captain of the team and takes control
of the offense. ie; THROWS THE BALL, make diving catches, QB
runs it in for a touchdown, TE runs it in for a TD ... Not just
running play calling up the gut for no gain, every other play
!!!!

I'm pissed the Home Opener is so late into the season. Students
will be settled in their academics and may not even show up to
Game 1. I hope I'm wrong.
I haven't been following as closely but I will be there like
always! Go Wolves!

The home opener is usually well attended. I recall a few years
back we played Towson in the opener and that game was the last
week of September. Playing the opener on the 16th is fine. What
would piss me off is if we lost to Sacred Heart again. That game
last year was the most inexplicable loss I've seen by this
program since I've been following it.

That was strange considering we beat two top teams in North
Dakota and Richmond then get blown out by Sacred Heart .

New member here. Been going to Stony Brook sporting events for a
few decades now and call me crazy I'm excited about the football
season. I'm not dumb though, it's hard to have a College
Football following in this area but not impossible. Let's hope
this team can shock some people and have an interesting season
so they can get some new fans.

While I appreciate the optimism, what is this based on? Our top
notch defensive coordinator is gone, and with him the brains of
the unit that's prevented us from going 0-11 these past three
seasons. This team is talented, so there's always the
possibility we win a few games and go on a run, but unless
Fields is the next Cam Newton, I don't see it happening.
We can definitely carve out a nice niche for ourselves out here
if we start winning being the only D1 program on long island. If
we start winning 9+ games a season, go FBS, and continue that?
We won't be able to expand the stadium quickly enough! If only a
small fraction of the people on LI gave enough of a damn to come
out and watch a winning team we'd have no problem filling the
stadium. Even at 25K seats like in that stadium rendering on the
Seawolves United site.

My optimism? I said I was excited "about the football season"
and hoped the team would shock us. I love football season and
Stony Brook is the easiest way to see a halfway decent football
in this area. Never did I say I was optimistic.
That being said the defense is still good and hopefully the
running game can be effective. We can all pray to the football
gods that the QB play is just a little bit better.
I think talking about the FBS is a little crazy.
