Eight NY City schools have a media day to drum up interest on the upcoming season. Great idea.

It does not appear to have worked all that well. Those pictures are sad.

That might be a bit harsh. I'm not sure the crowds/pics would be much different than a NEC/AmEast Media Day. I like the idea, personally.

And for those looking for something more on-topic to Ohio, Boals did not seem to make the most flattering impression, at least to the times writer.

The only interloper seemed to be Jeff Boals, Stony Brook’s new coach, who previously served as an assistant at Ohio State. While Boals told a few jokes that fell a bit flat and said Stony Brook reminded him of a Midwestern campus, he appeared to be acclimating: He was already grumbling about the quagmire of traveling to La Guardia Airport.
There is also a Zavier Turner mention who talks about a large rat which made me wonder if he was subtweeting James Whitford.

You're probably right. For all I know that's what the MAC media day looks like.

It's weird, because I read the story in print and the photo in black and white on a page doesn't look sad. Online, it looks extra special sad. The color makes the sadness pop, I guess.
