I think newsday got criticized so heavily by Long Islanders for
not putting SBU in the back page on monday that they didn't have
another choice but to put us today. lol. Long Island is behind
the Seawolves. Its awesome

I think this run has opened a lot of eyes to the ridiculous
potential of Stony Brook. If Joewillie was serious about the
Stony Brook LSU ratings outperforming the primetime game 3-1,
then I'm sure we have the MAC's attention. TV's king, and no one
has a better claim to the NYC metro market than Stony Brook.
Things were already moving pretty fast for the school, but I
think it's only going to speed up.
Also not exactly related to football, but this is great time for
Stony Brook to be getting all this attention with the Simons 50
million dollar challenge. Stony Brook was one of the most
searched terms on google last weekend. Hopefully some of those
searches were done by philanthropists that will now take
advantage of the opportunity to have their gifts matched dollar
for dollar by the Simons.

Adding to that another nice article in Newsday about our
Parkinson's Research Center and the funding going in to that.
We win on the field of athletics and in medicine all in one
week. Has the Golden Era of SBU begun ?

That's a great question and thought, Seawolf97, and one that's
been on my mind for a long time. I'm a '79 grad, so I've been
looking for reasons to have more pride in my alma mater for
quite a while now. While basketball, football, and lacrosse have
achieved some success over the past few years, NOTHING comes
close to what baseball has done this season. And while donations
such as the Simons gift are actually more meaningful to the
mission of the university, the baseball story has a publicity
effect probably like a $1 billion donation would have...unlike
anything else that could have been hoped for. Yes, after a few
weeks it will fade and we'll look forward to the next best
thing, probably a deep run into the playoffs by football. But I
think the baseball phenomenon has set a new floor for the
university from which to reach even higher.

I just saw this tweet:

"Of the 147 collegiate websites that CBS College Sports
sponsors, Stony Brook had the 16th-highest page views. South
Carolina ranked first."
More than 50 BCS schools run their athletic websites through CBS
College Sports.

I think that stat is incredible. Say what you want about the pro
sports market, people are interested in our programs. It's also
worth noting that the tweet came from an assistant AD at Ohio
University, a MAC school.

I'm loving the tweet: "Great conversion w/Senator LaValle at
