Towson Coming Apart?

Post by GannonFan »

Andy, did you write this letter condemning the current coach?

http://www.thetowerlight.com/2012/10/fo ... t-players/
This letter is being written on behalf of many current and former players of the Towson University football team. Head Coach Rob Ambrose has openly disrespected and mistreated members of the team on a consistent basis. This is also true of the Defensive Coordinator Coach Matt Hachmann.

Why is this a story. Some scrub who quit the team wants to justify why he did it and gripes about it in the school newspaper. BFD!

This is sorta like the Idaho State thing. It doesn't surpise me one bit that Ambrose would say something like that, but if some wacky christian has a problem with it be a man and talk to your coach personally. I think Ambrose would apologize and everyone would move on.

The practice time stuff could be a rather serious violation however if true.

This is the real meat of the article. The religion stuff is just an attention grabber.

Not really. Same thing happened at Michigan under RichRod. The "major violation" landed them 2 years of probation and "reduced practice time". No loss of scholarships, recruiting visits, post-season games, etc. You can see how the reduced practice time has hurt the Wolverines right? :roll:

I don't know how long Ambrose & West for Towson. Look, last year was their dream season, now they take a step back into reality this year.

Looks like the crowds bandwagon crashed too, well hey it got up to 10K twice, real bad crowd vs ODU from the highlights I saw, considerable difference between the announced 7K plus & reality.

Wish this guy had put his name to this statement the record 3-4 doesn't justify being ranked ahead of teams with winning records!!!!!

Well, I did he the maybe he'll leave early to throw his hat into the draft rumor. He could declare for the draft if he wanted too. He is only a true soph in terms of eligibility, but he is at least 3 years removed from HS. Age wise he is the age of a 4th yr player, as he turns 22 in Jan. He originally was a Clempson signee. Not sure what happened there, but he did a PG yr at FUMA for a season before then signing with TU.

Are you talking about West? He was a UMD/Friegon signee. Fridge got fired and West had no where to go with Edsall coming in. West is from Baltimore, literally 15 minutes from campus. That's how he ended up at Towson.

The commentators at either NBC Sports need to get their facts straight, because it was either the W&M @ TU or the TU @ JMU game, can't remember which (both were on NBC Sports) where one of them stated that West originally committed to Clemson. I specifically remembered them saying that, because it was something I hadn't heard before.

Anyway, this article from last yr said it was low SAT scores on why he didn't go to the Twerps:
"....West can't wait for a chance to play the Terps. Through his junior year in high school, West thought he would wind up playing in College Park. But low SAT scores derailed those plans....."

Another article I saw said he had to sit out a yr after FUMA before going to Towson, something to do with the NCAA. Anyway, that would explain him turning 21 last yr during "true" fr yr at TU.

It wouldn't be unprecedented for a I-AA back to declare early for the pros. EWU's All American Taiwan Jones did in 2010. He was hurt during their semi final win over Villanova and NC win over UD. He was a junior, but he was also 21 when he declared. Got drafted in the 4th round by the Raiders.

I expect if he stays healthy West will at a minimum be in an NFL camp, if not drafted, be it next yr or in 2014. I'd be surprised if he was at TU for his Sr yr in 2014 & taking a shot at the NFL in 2015, when he would be 24 yrs old.

I definitely heard that before, but to be honest I can't remember if it was West or another TU player. As West is their best talent he'd be my guess...

I think you overestimate Rob Ambrose. He is a real dick.
