Hammer our program will rise in the America East. I used to think the same way until I saw the magical run we pulled in baseball to the CWS. We as a program gotta schedule harder, commit to better facilities, grow the fan base, market the programs, and become the Gonzaga of the America East. Yes, it may sound laughable to say such thing. Gonzaga of the America East sounds far and unlikely but still possible. What would be the WCC without Gonzaga? A regular one-bid conference. But the strength and development of that program has led to the development of the enitire conference.
We can do it in the AE for now. We'll prove sooner than later. That's why I don't really care much about losing to Albany and blah blah blah. If you have the right ingredients then you are bound to get there.
Also to finish it off: Just about my entire family lived in the Bronx and the DR at some poing. I myself still live in South Bronx as of now (unfortunately. Will get out soon). Out of a family of 28
cousins we have 27 (last one is on its way. I used cousins because in my family cousins are like siblings.) who attended 4-year school, 10 who received Graduate schooling, and 2 PhDs. Doctors, Lawyers, entrepreneurs, dentists, professors, speech therapist (my sister), computer Scientist (me), chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, JUST about everything. If we were able to defeat the odds of living in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the United States then ANYONE can do it. Hard work and determination and sticking to your values gets you there sooner than later.
And that is what Stony Brook Athletics has done so far. No cutting corners, if we have to take the long way we'll take the longer way. But we will get there. This is why I love Stony Brook so much. Look at our history, we achieved so much in a bit more than 56 years. Amazing!
LETS GO SEAWOLVES
P.S: Just remember. You make your own odds. If you work hard and stick to your values then you will make it no matter what. This is why this country is so awesome. If you decide to stick to statistics or choose to cut corners you will never achieve real success. That's my philosophy, our entire Family's philosophy. Has worked great so far.
