Unfortunately, I missed game, but glad to see a solid winning opener. SBU needs to fill seats. I mentioned a few ideas on another thread, but I’ll re-state a few here: 1) Athletic dept on game days needs to go around dorms and “drag” students to games; 2) incentivize students to come to games by offering free semester tuition (and/or board) to a lucky student every game. Athletic dept should budget for this; 3) Offer free tickets to an expanded radius of Long Island middle and high schoolers who play football; 4) Come up with an online (and print version) of an SBU Football magazine, which is sent to every middle and high school football program on Long Island. A combo of these things will help the program gain visibility and will put some asses in the seats. Oh yeah, SNY is s huge win, and will help expand the base.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)
