you are correct #71 & #55 were both starters last year; just got done going checking out last years games.  So 2 of the 5 lineman were starters. That leave 3 position on the Ol that received very limited play or none in 2014 for SBU & 1 player who never played line & who is a true TE & DE.....

I am hopeful next year they are looking at brining in experience OL w some of the freshman lineman.

You will not win without a strong OL & DL; you should be 3 deep in each OL position due to injuries; but you half to have a balance offence. You cannot blame the OL for al the issue on the offence; a lot was bad play calling at time..... i thought.

They pratice so many plays; but use very few.....makes ya scratch your head......everything i have seen so far is the 75/25 rule....run vs pass. A lot of teams stack the line on SBU & you will not get much run offence when they do; you half to go to the short passing game to get them LB & DB off the line.

And it was very clear that we didnt have a reciever that could stretch the field deep...

When looking a the whole picture it put SBU at a huge disadvantage in these games.

Well at least the weather looks good for Saturdays game  & it's  the last road trip of the year.....7 just maybe these dogs will learn new tricks to win a game.

This will be the last post of the year....i hope we end it on a good run or pass....hint...hint....

Carbone was not ready for prime time.  five interceptions in five quarters does not signify a QB ready to start.  agree that with Bednarski in at QB, the O settled down and got down to business.  one encouraging thing:  they did bring Carbone in couple of times to basically run a Wild Cat offense for a play or two.  Now that is what P should have done all season long.  he screwed up the chemistry on this team by flip flopping the QBs on a continuous basis.

I don't want to sound like I know a lot because I don't however for the 2015 season SBU has started 16 players who never started a College game until this season. There are a total of 68 freshmen, redshirt freshmen and sophomores on this roster and many of them are preferred walk-ons not scholarship kids. SBU was picked to finish 9th this year in the CAA and if we win are last 2 games that's about we're will finish.

2016 we will bring in about 25 new recruits and the schedule will be tougher however these players who were forced to play this year will also be more seasoned. I don't se a new coaching staff coming in but I can see changes to the current staff.

And why is this???Why can't this school attract really good Football athletes. Why are we bringing in so many walk-ons..  We had a nice roster when Hofstra closed their Football programs and we got some  their transfers, ie: Maysonet, ultimately making the Playoffs... This program is getting a bad reputation and kids don't want to take a chance to come here and play for a losing team and coaching staff so we are relying on walk-ons to play and win games in the tough CAA  conference??? Pathetic!!!

excellent comments in the Newsday article on the SBU-Howard game by a Seawolf fan

Unfortunately for the seniors, this team is playing out the string of their final college season. Some of them might be back, having sustained season-ending injuries early enough to retain another year of eligibility. Hard to say whether that’s a good thing or not. I’ve taken turns killing the university president, the AD and the coach. This week my beef is with the local community.

These kids play sports at a national level while attending classes and graduating at extremely high percentages relative to other colleges. It’s a shame that when 250,000 people live within a ten mile radius of the campus the stadium doesn’t reach more than three-quarters of capacity for most home football games. Seawolves football is a great value when you compare it to sitting in a sports bar watching SEC teams on a television and it’s an even greater experience. The team has had a rough go of it since its promotion into the CAA, but the event management surrounding the game is first class. The marching band has evolved over the past five years into the region’s best. Some Big Ten schools would be envious.

It’s a sad fact that most Suffolk County residents have never visited the campus, have never seen a show at the Staller Center, never been to a home basketball game (Columbia and Princeton are coming this season, but no, you can’t be bothered). Most people have been to the University hospital, but they won’t dare cross over to the other side of Nicolls Road. I suppose the campus can seem intimidating to someone who’s never been here. It’s huge, but it isn’t as if you’ll get so lost you won’t ever find your way out.

At this moment in time, the University … YOUR University … has made a major commitment to elevate its athletic department nationally in a way that doesn’t rely on tax dollars from Albany, but that will only work if the most populous, most obvious segment of the customer base takes the trouble to support the effort. Where’s the community pride? Is the anti-education sentiment becoming so ingrained in most of you that you want to take it out on football? What ARE you people? French?

Hey Everyone!

I have an idea. Why don't we put ourselves on a fake starvation diet and have the entire Football team whine, complain, cry and about all our woes?? You know why we would NOT do this, like those clowns at Miserable U?. Because I think most of our young men even during a down year for us, still have pride! Just think we could be blogging about these types of young men (future leaders) and I'll take ours!

One more point in regard to the Coaches the cost of living as we all know is very expensive to live on LI so unless an Assistant Coaches wife is working it's hard to attract some better candidates unless their using this as a stepping stone for the next job or their single that is why they're constantly hire young guys without a lot of experience.

Maybe the new AD will increase the Coaching budget so the pool of Coaches could then be greater then it is now

Our new AD have better do something otherwise SBF will regress back to div3 days as far as attendance is concerned. I do think coach P will be around one more year but will get the boot after next season dismal performance. Just saying, sorry!!!

I guess I'm a bit dense, but it took me a few readings of NYSTATE Of Mind's post to understand what he was talking about.  very poor taste.  its well documented that the racial abuse and discrimination had gone on for many years at Missouri.  it finally took the football team to stand up and take a stand in order for the university system to change.  my hat's off to those brave kids for taking a stand, and calling out the university administration for their lack of action.

see the thread entitled Making SB Better

it's all there.  the campus doesnt have the draw that others do.  the university always has good intentions but unfortunately, always seems to take the wrong turn. 

the fixes arent easy.  and they are not cheap.  but what we have going for us is two things- the infrastructure and the makings of a bigtime campus atmosphere, and two, the free advice- meaning, all the answers are right there in that thread.  it's just a matter of taking the advice and following it.

id love to hear thoughts.
There are 29,413,039 corporations in America; but only one Chairman of the Board.

Well, not wanting to call you dense, but with respect to the FACTS that in light of what REALLY happened at UM.

The football team was in fact duped by the supposed issues were brought up by the UNDERGADUATE UM student who is still there almost 8 years later (yes and is STILL an undergraduate)- who started his rants about Health care costs- and then we find out his Father makes nearly $7 million dollars a year?

What I do find in poor taste (let's see if you agree with this one) was the Rams players last year putting out the Hands UP don't shoot- and then found out that after the facts came out- they were wrong! To me that was Poor taste in the light of the facts coming out.

To your comments about there being "many years of racial abuse and discrimination" I could not find any when I looked, but am guessing you might be able to shed some light on them.
Because as anyone who has seen this current administration under Eric Holder, its clear that at the drop of a hat- the Justice admin swarms in and takes over. So are there current ones underway?

There are facts surrounding the current UM Student President who stated the KKK was on campus and was later found out to have lied about it, I am just glad the football team did not take this bait (of maybe they did). Anything happen to him for him lying about this?

My point was and still IS- is that college football (or any other sport) at SBU or UM should not be such a knee jerk reaction (remember The Duke case where the LAX coach and players were found to be innocent?).

If we want to have our way as they did at UM, then every blogger here no matter in what sport they support at SBU should revert to name calling and DEMANDING the resignation of whomever they don't like (or more to the point as to what they want if they whine loud enough). For those of us who don't like Coach P maybe we should find an 8 year undergraduates at SBU whose Dad is making 7 million a year and demanding health care or to change the Wang Center name because his name is too racist!
