For the 2015 season, the Robert Morris Colonials will share one theme with last season’s squad and try to rid itself of another. The theme they share is new beginnings. Last season, the Colonials ended the Joe Walton era and welcomed the new lead man John Banaszak. This...

Oh, how a new season can change everything. At the end of the 2014 campaign, the Robert Morris Colonials were a defeated football team. Beaten down. Exhausted. Frustrated. Fast forward to now--it is simply a different team. Sure, personnel has pretty much remained constant,...

September 24, 2014

We’re now going on Week 5 of the Robert Morris 2014 campaign, and the new era has began with four non-conference games without a single win to show. No way did I think that’d be the case back in August at this point in the season. Yes, head coach John Banaszak is a...

It’s no secret today that in order to be considered a good football team, consistent production is a must in all three facets of the game; offense, defense and special teams. Offense puts people in the seats. Defense wins championships. The clichés go on forever, but they...
