First up for the Cats are the Towson Tigers of Towson University. Never heard of Towson? Me either. The university is located in Towson, a suburb of Baltimore, and was founded in 1866, and is "one of the best regional public universities" in the US. Surprisingly, Towson is the second largest university in Maryland, an amazing statistic for a school no-one ever heard of.

Other amazing facts about Towson:

  • The most famous alumnus appears to be a lady named Jennifer Hurt. She appears to be the main reason anyone would attend Towson.
  • The Tigers play in Johnny Unitas Stadium. Gotta respect that.
  • The Tigers finished 3-9 in the Colonial in 2008. Can you spell defense? The Tigers could not.
  • First year coach Rob Ambrose most recently coached at UConn and has a good track record.
And that is about all there is to say about Towson. Unlike some famous universities, it seems that the students at Towson do not burn cars, stab each other, or generally do anything Google-worthy.
