I will see you at 4 or earlier. Mapquest has me taking York Rd from the I695 beltway. Is that the most direct way to get there?

[absturgill]

From where?

[absturgill]

Steve, that'll work fine. One end of the campus is o York RD.

[Baldspot]

The following is from Towsontigers.com:

From Upstate New York and Eastern Pennsylvania
Follow I-81 South until it intersects with I-83 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Follow I-83 South until you see signs for the Baltimore Beltway, I-695. Take the I-695 Towson ramp, staying in the right lane to exit immediately onto Charles Street. Bearing right off the ramp, follow Charles Street south for 1.5 miles (from first traffic light) to Towsontowne Boulevard. Turn left at the traffic signal (you can’t turn right because Towsontowne dead ends into Charles Street). Proceed on Towsontowne Boulevard seven-tenths of a mile to the next traffic light. Turn right on to Osler Drive and proceed one-half mile to Auburn Drive. Take a right onto Auburn.The Towson Center is just over the hill on the right and Johnny Unitasâ Stadium is on left .

From New York City, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware
Follow I-95 South to the Baltimore Beltway, I-695 West (extreme right lane as you approach I-695). Follow I-695 towards Towson (this is clearly marked) to Exit 25 Charles Street. At the end of the ramp at the stop sign, turn left and then make another left at the round about on to Charles Street. Follow Charles Street south for 1.7 miles to Towsontowne Boulevard. Turn left at the traffic signal (you can’t turn right because Towsontowne dead ends into Charles Street). Proceed on Towsontowne Boulevard seven-tenths of a mile to the next traffic light. Turn right on to Osler Drive and proceed one-half mile to Auburn Drive. Take a right onto Auburn. The Towson Center is just over the hill on the right and Johnny Unitasâ Stadium is on left.

From Washington, D.C., Richmond
Proceed on I-95 North to the Baltimore Beltway, I-695. Exit left (exit is on left) on to I-695 towards Towson to Charles Street (Exit 25 off I-695). Bear right on to Charles Street coming off the ramp. Follow Charles Street south for 1.5 miles (from first traffic light) to Towsontowne Boulevard. Turn left at the traffic signal (you can’t turn right because Towsontowne dead ends into Charles St). Proceed on Towsontowne Boulevard seven-tenths of a mile to the next traffic light. Turn right on to Osler Drive and proceed one-half mile to Auburn Drive. Take a right onto Auburn. The Towson Center is just over the hill on the right and Johnny Unitasâ Stadium is on left.

Possibly a passing shower at tailgate time with temps in the low 70's
Kickoff 73 deg. 4th quarter around 70

Should be a good late summer evening

[Sly Fox]

Lower 70s? You guys are going to need jackets. That's December weather for us down here in Houston. Brrrr

[absturgill]

That's good football weather right there.

[PAmedic]

nah- 30 and snowing- THATS football weather. Hot coffee, blankets, throwing iceballs at the officials from the 700 level.

Ah- yes

[absturgill]

LOL, see you tonight Medic. I definatlely need to meet you. I'll be in a Red Nationals hat

[PAmedic]

unfortunately can't make it tonite- will be down for homecoming though

[absturgill]

I'll cheer for ya then. We'll catch up at Homecoming GO Flames.

I honestly can't tell if you were being sarcastic or not, but yes its true and there is a really long story behind why i have followed him since day one of his professional career. I know he isn't the most popular player and i would imagine many folks don't like him very much.

Roger Clemens has been my favorite since I can remember. I was born in 1981 and he was the first sports hero I ever had other than Larry Bird. I know it's kinda strange for a kid growing up in NC to be a big Sox and Celtics fan growing up but I was. I still have posters of Clemens at my parents house along with every Starting Lineup figurine of his from the 80's through late 90's. I always wore #21 from Little League through high school baseball. I was none too thrilled when he went to the Yankees but I justified pulling for him. I'd wish he'd pitch well then the bullpen would blow it. Of course that never happened but it made me feel better. Good to see that another Rocket fan is here.

[Sly Fox]

How this thread turned into a Clemens memory lane. But i have more than few connections with Rocket as well.

No Go Flames!

[SuperJon]

LOL, see you tonight Medic. I definatlely need to meet you. I'll be in a Red Nationals hat

I saw you but didn't know it was you.

I met Bald Spot and MadMat.

[auntieann]

Hello, Really enjoyed the game at Towson, not happy with the final result, but had a good time. I met Steve V. and Jerry. My hands hurt from cheering.

[Sly Fox]

Long time, no see Ann. I wondered if you'd make the drive down for the game. We were all disappointed with the result, but not the way the team didn't give up. There will be better days ahead ... hopefully this Saturday.

[Stevev]

Anne, It was nice meeting and talking to you. Hopefully the team can put this loss behind them and beat some quality opposition in the next few weeks. The team definitely has some potential.

[givemethemic]

It was nice to talk to Brock's Aunt at the Flame tent... Thanks for the complement's, hopefully you will be able to come down for homecoming

[Ed Dantes]

I was at the Towson game, and I was surprised to see how many LU fans made the trek. One of my buddies went up to Baltimore for the game, before heading to Atlanta for the Falcons game on Sunday afternoon... Good to see we're getting our road presence.

Observation:
- I think in the time it took me to write this post, Brock got whistled for another delay-of-game penalty. Kid's gotta learn some discipline.
- Not sure why we burned our second time out in the second half.
- Run the ball outside at least once. Play calling needs to improve.
- Recievers gotta learn to catch the ball. If it's in your hands, you gotta bring it in, Wynton!
- Our defense is amazing, with the exception of one play (when we tried to blitz on the third-and-long conversion late in the game with them deep in their zone... that one ultimately led to their field goal).

All in all, a very encouraging game and a fun time had by all. You can tell that this is a team that's world's away from what it used to be, and certainly looks like a team that should make some waves in conference play this year.

See y'all at either W&M or Gardner-Webb.

-ED

[SuperJon]

We burned the second one because of the new clock rules that start the clock right at the ready for play whistle after a change in possession.

[auntieann]

Hi guys, I am hoping things improve from here. I was looking at Wake Forest schedule, it would be such a boost to win that one. I have to remind Brock to watch the play clock(ha ha), he is such a good natured person, I am really proud of the young man he has become. I again enjoyed meeting all of you. I also met Ryan Greizer's step father at the hotel after the game, seem like such nice people. He is Brock's roomie, and it was just by chance that we met them. I really have to say that I think a lot of the Liberty fans, I thought it was so nice when a bunch of people clapped for the team after the loss, I had such a great time, and although the ending was less than perfect, that was really uplfiiting. See ya Auntie Ann

[Rocketfan]

1. GMTM, whats up with pacing back and forth during the game on the sidelines with your "Man Purse" - get your tail up in the stands and cheer haha.

2. Having brock in the shotgun with one or two backs standing next to him was an awful formation that we kept running. It didn't allow Rashad to get any momentum once he got the ball and we got killed on that play. I think we ran it about 8 times.

3. It was me who went to the Falcons game on Sunday after the Towson game....that was one long all night drive, but seeing Mike Vick in person from 16 rows off the field was amazing.....its hard to imagine how fast he really is until watch him in person, dang.

4. I think the passes Ed referred to are the ones that don't hit the wideouts in the numbers, when they have to extend there hands it seems we have a problem that needs to be addressed.

5. Watching Rocco get fired up was impressive, have not seen that kind of intensity in a while. Also Terrell provided a nice spark, but i dont' know why we can't get him as a wideout to run some slantsx or deep routes....i mean how many corners can he not outrun? He is the Randel El type so i just don't know why we dont' use him in more in that mold.

6. The Towson crowd if i were a student there was awful......i was embarrased for them( i thought I was attending a Mel Hankinson basketball game momentarily). 50 students with noise makers is something that needs to get improved, that and the plastic cage they wheeled the Tiger out on....that felt like a cheesy High School display at best and had me laughing pretty hard.

[auntieann]

I agree the Towson students were a little rough. I could not believe how loud and rude they were when I was leaving. My husbands young cousin was with us, he actually was at the game because Towson is looking at him, he is a QB at a local high school around here. He happened to have his high school jacket on, he was not lucky that it was red, wow did he get a lot of grief, it was kind of funny, because he was actually there to see Towson. It is funny we could have 2 QB's as family members playing against one another. They actually played against each other in High school, but my husband's cousin was only the back up at that time. My son looked at me the other night and said mommy I guess I should be playing football instead of Lacrosse. I had to share that Towson experience with you guys.. AuntieAnn

[Stevev]

Yes the fans were rude and I was harassed on a few occasions. The ones that were there that is and there were not that many of them. Lets face it Towson is a much improved team when comparing them to the bad teams of the past and even though the game day atmosphere has improved it still is severely lacking when comparing it to the likes of Delaware, McNeese, and App State, and other elite 1AA teams. It even is behind what LU has to offer. A TSU alum told me it was a marketing issue. There stadium compairs pretty favorably with a majority of the A10 schools. The ruddness comes from being in the Baltimore area I think.

[Libertine]

1. Also Terrell provided a nice spark, but i dont' know why we can't get him as a wideout to run some slantsx or deep routes....i mean how many corners can he not outrun? He is the Randel El type so i just don't know why we dont' use him in more in that mold.

Um, how about none? Terrell is a really good athlete but the one thing he is not is straight-ahead fast. He's broken off a few long plays the last 2 years but he is always caught from behind. He's quick and he's shifty but he does not possess break-away speed. Then again, neither does Randle-El.
