Green grass please, I hope they don't go crazy trying to be Boise or EWSU. As for the rumor of a big donation. The president did mention that the university did get the largest donation in university history. I tried to google search and figure out who and what for but couldn't find anything. https://www.albany.edu/president/university-address-spring-2024

The purple and grey of Central Arkansas is hard to look at

They're going to the Auburn regional.

Yuk!

Agree wholeheartedly for the first year or even two, but the acknowledgement goes beyond basketball. Most players aren't going to play professionally (not a comment on Jackson or Fillien) and are going to enter the business world at some point. Being a scholarship player on a D1 team is a big resume thing, and being a walk-on that earned a scholarship is an even bigger resume thing.

Was Marcus Fillien on a free ride regardless? Youre playing D1 basketball and you are going for free..not "officially" giving the scholarship helps your team bring in another out-of-state player. Thats a no brainer to me.

Sometimes the act of acknowledgement is important, Marcus Filien received that acknowledgement during the season. Perhaps, an athletic scholarship from UAlbany meant little however, the change of scenery and opportunity meant more. If there was a transfer portal for fans, I probably give strong consideration.

Forgot that one, that is red!

Eastern Washington is probably the boldest..and the hardest to see on TV

Purple field, hmmm. That would rank up there with Boise St and Coastal Carolina for boldest fields in the country.

I've been in agreement with you for a long time. Nice role player, solid hustle, good depth. Nothing against him, always was a good teammate.

Apparently whoever it was was removed from the team

If he had an Empire Scholarship isn't that just budget management? The kid goes for free, so why not spend the money on outside of NY players.

Did you mean Yog-Yurt and have it shaped like a cloth hut? Also, excited to see how the turf looks with the new logos etc. It looked weird playing on turf with the old branding What if they do a purplle field with gold endzones..

Can we call it the YoGurt or the Yo, Gurt?

Reese's sister transferred to Maryland (her third school)

You guys like him more than I do. I thought is defense was good. Not great. Fouled a ton. Offensively, he can't create his own shot . Not a great shooter. He hustles. Which is great. To me and I understand its my opinion but he is a 10 minute player on a D1 team.

After the year that he had, starting 18 games, over 22 mpg, great shooting percentage, hustling on D….if he wasn’t offered a scholarship it’s one more thing that reflects very badly on DK imho.

Say it with me. Chobani Field House.

can not say since it is a rumor - verified by more than one source..................Just remember I said they were looking at a Big Ten Transfer QB.............before there was an offer or commitment........ Rumor has it that there MAY have been a Massive Donation to Athletics.......... That's All Folks..

https://fanlax.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4985 The fans at Merrimack are not happy about it either.

Without giving too much away are these rumors similar to when Broadview was about to be renovated? I seem to remember it was just rumors until it was announced. Casey Stadium was as well. Atleast this was my perspective being someone who realizes on this site for UA info

At a time that I am at a crossroads with my sports relationship with UAlbany, both in game attendance and financial support, I cannot imagine what could be worthy of keeping under wraps. So, forgive me for a healthy dose of skepticism about this potential bombshell announcement, which make this area truly Great Dane Nation.

Are we talking/rumoring a real FIELD HOUSE here. More info RUMORS appreciated🤫.

Racism should never be ignored. Lyle did NOT ignore it, just let his play be his response; and obviously has talked about it often throughout the years to educate and teach. I am sure your quote was NOT condoning Racism, just commenting how the current players involved handled it. IMHO UA and the team pretty much handled it appropriately. Sometimes one must "walk softly and carry a big stick."
