Rebuilding Towson Football: the Tigers man up

“You should be embarrassed.”

As darkness slowly crept over Johnny Unitas Stadium, new Towson head football coach Rob Ambrose made it crystal clear to his players that he wasn’t thrilled with their lack of intensity during the team’s third practice of the spring last week.

“There are some of you — and it is noticeable — that are going in the right direction,” he said sternly, briefly pausing between each thought to make his words sink in. “When you wear this jersey, there’s an expectation that goes with it. … If you want to be called men, then grow the hell up.”

The Tigers had just capped off a fast-paced, three-hour practice by sprinting from goal line to goal line 14 straight times. Eighty or so players stood gasping for air near the 30-yard line as Ambrose chewed them out before abruptly banishing them to the locker room.

Can Towson compete in the CAA?

You like the new coach, Andy?

There is no reason we can't. We were 7-4 two years ago.

Rob Ambrose was on my team, a class ahead of me. So yes, I like him.

I never even met the man but i can tell its a good coach. They are bitches and they need to get it together if they are going to compete in the *second* strongest conference in the fcs nation.

Rob got his hip broke on a late hit in his senior spring practice. He was a undergraduate coach immediately. The 10+ 100 yard sprints at the end f practice is nothing different from what Gordy (previous coach) did to us .


Given thechoice, I'll take 100 yd'ers over gassers ANY day
