Geez. Get over it. Name me one SEC or ACC team that doesn't have a breather or two on the schedule. Would have preferred another team but I don't know the details that went into the decision.
The ACC is a breather schedule
I don’t follow another SEC or any ACC team — and I do not care one whit what they do. I don’t care for this Towson crap and neither do the others on this free board…except, maybe you.
TOWSON??? Please…
That will likely be a noon game in late August, ugghh! Morning bloody Marys and 95 degree weather.
Whom did they play this past Saturday? Did they win? Actually, I thought they were an HBCU until I looked it up.
If we're going to schedule an FCS team, can't we at least make it an in-state team? Why scour the country for uninspiring opponents?
No need for insults. Just pointing out we don't exist in a vacuum and I did point out I would have preferred another opponent.
SuNsHiNe PuMpErS are glad it’s not App State, Coastal or some other exciting team. Because sure Ws are fun to them and good for stats!
I live in the Baltimore area. Didn’t know Towson had a football team.
Sunshine pumpers = those who enjoyed KY win
Realists = “We wouldn’t have beat KY if they were full strength so I am pissed off” ( never mind SC is down umpteen starters on defense). Now I would like to turn my “realism” to Townsend State.
Overall I hate games like that but everyone including bama plays games like this.
Most of the Big Boys don't go this obscure. Louisiana Monroe and Central Michigan are marquee programs compared to Towson State. To be fair, Wake Forest and Vanderbilt have future games scheduled with Norfolk State, which can be gotten even cheaper than the teams I mentioned above, but we should be aiming a little higher. And has been mentioned, we don't need to be reaching all the way to Maryland to bring in such a nondescript opponent.
Everyone plays these games, maybe not quite as obscure, but whatever.
I side with the previous poster who said if you're going to do this, pick a local school to help them out a bit. Rotate through schools around us.

Congrats on your usage of "Whom." You are NOT a tater.
At least local relevance would be nice to garner some fan interest.
Must have been tough to find someone of this unknown caliber.

Agree we should be aiming higher. I dislike games
like Charlotte and SC State. But does it really matter if it’s Townsend State or Charlotte, or SCState, or whomever? If you are going to play one like that, the name doesn’t matter.
Bama has had Mercer, Kent State, Samford, etc. It’s pretty much all the same “who cares” type games. I don’t like playing teams like Wofford or the Citadel either. Just would rather play a Big 12 school or someone to get excited about.
Towson State. They are adding FBS money games (https://towsontigers.com/news/2022/...-announces-future-games-vs-fbs-opponents.aspx). We shouldn't play ANY FCS school. We certainly shouldn't drag one in from 520 miles away.
Would rather reach to Maryland to play the Terps for the first time since 1971,
You see how great they are…I don’t even know how to spell their name nor where they are located.
I just find it difficult to believe that of the 132 FBS schools an agreement was not available to schedule a game, just 1 game.
Well, UGA played Oregon and Clemson. Alabama played Texas. So, not playing somebody cool actually hurts our recruiting and bowl selection chances. It sucks.
