I was one of the VERY PROUD alumni (Class of ’95) who made the trip down to Baton Rouge for this game. Pride doesn’t even begin to cover what I was feeling when the Towson Tigers took the field on Saturday night. And whatever it was that I was feeling when they took the field, I was even more overcome with emotion when they left it. I actually got choked up as I stood there and watched our tremendous athletes walk off the field knowing they just gave the #3 team in the country (now #4 because of us) all they could handle. This was a tremendous performance, and I for one was proud to be a part of it. The fact that our own Towerlight writer could write an article prior to the game saying what an embarassment this was going to be is simply disgraceful. Your job is to print the truth, not the truth as you see it.

And I think that your “Art Director” who wrote the disgraceful article prior to the game, should either print another article eating the crow that he deserves, or just stick to what he knows which clearly isn’t sports.

The fact that you all would publish a story about Towson “prostituting themselves” and then turn around and applaud them after doing so well is appalling. What happened to supporting your team. You along with ESPN, and every other college football fan doubted Towson’s ability and that is shameful. Support goes a long way. I was one of the 150+ fans in LSU and the energy the team felt from us in the stands surely made a difference…you doubt certainly did not. Try supporting our athletics no matter who they play.

For those who want to know what LSU fans thought of our Tigers, opne the enclosed like – http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/p/36264209/Official-Towson–LSU-Prediction-Thread-and169-a.aspx.

INo wonder Towson fans were all doom and gloom. However, OUR Tigers proved LSU fans wrong how much we can fight and claw our way to score.

We may have lost the game but the football team won the hearts and minds of Towson fans that we can play with the big boys. I just wish we had beaten Maryland at Byrd Stadium last season like Appalachian State beat Michigan at their Big House.

What is this, no comments especially after the column by the arts professor?

I was one of the critics of Towson going to Baton Rouge in the first place but after watching the replay of the game on ESPN-U, I owe the football team a huge apology.

I was at the Orioles game Saturday night and the score was posted on the video board. I snapped a few pictures, took a look at them and did a triple take and asked the Orioles fan next to me “is this right?”

Be honest, I was thinking Towson will get slaughtered like Savannah State was from Oklahoma State 0-84. The team will come home, headless, all four paws missing, black and blue all over.

But the Towson University Tigers football team from Baltimore, Maryland proved everyone wrong.

To score 22 points off the number 3 team in the nation, well that deserves a lot of accolades. CONGRATS team. Your tenacity fought the mighty Tigers from LSU on every play.

You lost the game but that was expected. What was NOT expected was your 22 points off the #3 team in the nation.

WAY TO GO TIGERS – the T-O-W-S-O-N Tigers, that is.
