  1. Past hour
  2. The times -Union reporting that $iena College has announced the hiring of Syracuse Associate HC Gerry McNamara for the MBB Head Coach position. This is the second time $iena has hired a Syracuse MBB player for their HC position, as I recall Louis Orr stayed one year before leaving for another HC position elsewhere. I am certain Gerry, while my sign a 4- or 5-year deal, is hoping to get out of Loudonville sooner.
  3. UMBC is 3-3 overall and 2-0 in Conference. A true bell weather match on whether or not the Great Danes can be taken seriously. Mar 30 (Sat) 12:00 PM AE at UMBC Baltimore, Md. Watch Live Live Stats Preview History
  4. If you do not have paint drying at home that needs watching or just want the feel of cold metal on your butt, there is a WLAX game tomorrow. Mar 30 (Sat) 1:00 PM AE vs Bryant Albany, N.Y. John Fallon Field AE.tv Live Stats History
  5. I am responding to paragraph 1 and 2. I have expressed to you and to the UAlbany Sports Administration the fact of ending (or taking a sabbatical) from my 50 years plus relationship due what you have outlined and a number of other things which I have expressed in e-mails and conversations with Mark, Vic and others. Based on their responses in the past and their recent lack of response, I would expect nothing to change from them. As to NIL, as in the case of the Transfer Portal, the Jeannie is out of the bottle, no going back. Craziness at its worst: In order for $iena to secure the prime candidate for coach, $iena needs prop up the NIL account balance. $iena is spending money they do not have to pay off the fired coach, paying an incredible salary for the new coach and propping up the NIL account for a promised future that may or may not happen. Are you hurting the UAlbany and UAlbany sports by withholding support. The simple answer is no, because the UAlbany is always trolling the waters for new donors and donations. So, unless you give $10,000 or more yearly, they will not miss you or I.
  6. Today
  7. Not sure where to post this; but strongly considering giving up 50+ years of season tickets and GDAC/UA Foundation donations. I'm very much against anything that smacks of college athletics becoming pro-like. Including NLI, transfer portal (even though would support it with restrictions and possible compensation to team losing a transfer), paying athletes anymore than the value of their EDUCATION, and sports betting (other than March Madness pools & sorts.) My dilemma is, Am I just hurting the University for something that is really no fault of their own. Not really looking for advice, for I'm sure any cancel of tickets and support on my part would be naive and inconsequential. But does anyone know of some national moment, I could contact to join in a/the fight to prevent colleges becoming Pro-Sports. And/All thoughts & opinions MUCH appreciated.
  8. Yesterday
  9. I think if it was MBB they’d have a fit. He’s a fairly logical choice for WBB in my mind…so perhaps it will happen. I doubt they’d get all weepy if he produces a winner.
  10. That was my plan when I bought the tickets. I realized bracketology had her in the Albany bracket. I bought tomorrow and Saturday to be sure. Trying to sell tomorrows tickets doubt my boys would want to make two trips from Dutchess County. Ticket prices for tomorrow have really bottomed out.
  11. Not yet. And really don’t anticipate anyone else leaving.
  12. Not yet, I am surprised Colleen Mullen has not drawn any attention or is she good at keeping things quiet. With the Women's Tournament in town, she could easily meet with another non-participating school's officials without attracting attention.
  13. Roger has been dropping Will's name frequently. Even as WBB HC, I feel that the $iena fans would have issue for his UAlbany past.
  14. Wyland has also been mentioning Will Brown as the possible new $iena women's coach
  15. So in other words no dam breaks on the women’s side
  16. Grand St Lot. I don't remember if it is free last time I was there. I used to park at that garage for photographic vehicle/motorcycle shots of the Empire State Plaza. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Grand+Street+Lot/@42.6478017,-73.7563592,305m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x89de0a34cc4ffb4b:0xe1a16312a0e728c4!2sAlbany,+NY!3b1!8m2!3d42.6525793!4d-73.7562317!16zL20vMGRxMTY!3m5!1s0x89de0a2254a2f0f5:0x47be3d634c2127d5!8m2!3d42.6471632!4d-73.7557875!16s%2Fg%2F11gd67sndh?entry=ttu
  17. Roger says it’s official so we will see…..GMAC at SC. Singleais says not so fast. We will wait.
  18. BY H. ROSE SCHNEIDER A light-hearted state university mascot competition timed to March Madness has taken a controversial turn after one university admitted students virtually stuffed ballots for their furry favorite. “One or more” students at Stony Brook University cast an excessive number of ballots for their mascot, Wolfie Seawolf, in the 2024 State Stony Brook pulled Wolfie from Mascot Madness. University of New York Mascot Madness competition, the university said in an Instagram story shared to both their own and SUNY’s accounts. “We brought these concerns to SUNY’s attention and offered to withdraw Wolfie from the competition,” the announcement said, going on to say Wolfie would not be competing. “We wish the remaining mascots good luck!” What is Mascot Madness? SUNY’s Mascot Madness has been around since 2013, pitting mascots against each other in a NCAA March Madness-style bracket with five rounds. Votes are cast online on the competition’s webpage during a limited period of time for each round. The third round of votes wrapped up Tuesday afternoon, and the semifinals were set to begin Wednesday at noon. How the online voting subterfuge was accomplished wasn’t clear. The online system only allows people to cast one vote every 12 hours. Who is Wolfie Seawolf? Wolfie — a gray wolf in a red Stony Brook University hat, jersey and shorts — had already won the 2022 and 2023 competitions and even placed fifth in a national competition at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, according to an interview shared on SUNY’s website. He said he was hoping for a “historic three-peat,” and had been rereading Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War.” In the third round, Wolfie was competing against SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Oakie Acorn. Wolfie seemed to make a dig at Oakie when he said he’d “recently grown fond of devouring acorns.” “The students love their mascot,” SUNY ESF spokeswoman Karen Moore said. “They really do rally around Oakie and look forward to Mascot Madness every year.” Moore said the human-sized acorn originated from the campus’ Robin Hood Oak and uses they/them pronouns (oak trees are monecious, having both male and female flowers). A call and email to Stony Brook University hadn’t been immediately returned as of Wednesday afternoon. Who is in the Final Four? Oakie defeated Wolfie in round three with 56 percent of the vote. They’ll next go up against SUNY Brockport’s Ellsworth Eagle and, if they win, either Farmingdale State College’s Ram-Bo or SUNY Delhi’s Blaze the Bronco. Voting in the semifinals started noon Wednesday and ends 3 p.m. Friday. Voting in the finals runs from noon April 2 to 3 p.m. April 4. Oakie, who was created 14 years ago and is also a skateboarding fanatic, was the 2017 champion, beating out SUNY Geneseo’s Victor E. Knight. “Our students are just excited to see how far Oakie can go again,” Moore said. The mascots who may take the most umbrage to Wolfie’s alleged cheating are SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s Walter the Wildcat and Alfred State College’s Big Blue, an ox, who lost to Wolfie in the second and first rounds, respectfully. What about Albany area mascots? Most local SUNY mascots were defeated in the first round of votes. Hudson Valley Community College’s Victor the Viking lost to Walter the Wildcat and University at Albany’s Damien the Great Dane lost to SUNY Cortland’s red dragon Blaze. Empire State University, an online school based in Saratoga Springs, saw its mascot Blue the bluebird sail through Round 1, only to fall in Round 2 to SUNY Brockport
  19. So Siena is looking for a MBB Coach, WBB Coach, an Associate Athletic Director for women sports, a MBB team and WBB team and their MBB Coach search has down the rabbit hole and has come up empty. Is this the reason why Dwyane Killings is still with us, From Roger Wyland's comments: Rodger’s Quick Take Siena doesn’t land Gerry McNamara unless it agrees to pay him more than any other Siena head coach has made and unless there is enough NIL money in the tank so McNamara can reshape a depleted roster. McNamara can recruit good players, but does Siena have enough money to pay them? I like the hire on paper but the longtime Syracuse assistant will have his work cut out for him going into next season. Rodger Wyland is the sports director for News Channel 13. Listen to
  20. NOT sure if this whole fiasco is DK’s doing OR not? Wish we were/are given more information. Or is this the nature of the beast called portal/nli??? For a whole team to leave really smacks of something out of the ordinary 🧐🥺. OR is it possible DK is just a VICTIM of a run-a-way train???🤔🤔
  21. ualbanywlax Keep it rolling. Katie Pascale earns Midseason All-America Honorable Mention recognition from Inside Lacrosse.
  22. The lot on Grant & Phillips off Madison Ave has always been free and empty. Been a while, so do not know if still the case. Can also get into this lot by empire plaza ramp. Go all the way around the plaza U-ramp; do not enter any of the Plaza ramps. There are 2 or 3 gates on each side of the U. Just after the last entrance is a ramp into the GrantPhillips Garage. Also an entrance on Phillips off Madison. Not sure the name of this garage. And if anyone knows the name and/or if still free. PLEASE feel free to correct this post
  23. That's actually genius too! Especially in bad weather.
  24. Are you getting to see the Iowa vs Colorado game? Watching Caitlin Clark is definitely a lot of fun. My wife and I are actually living in Iowa City currently so we’ve been able to go to a couple of games this year. I never thought I would get into Women’s basketball but here we are.
  25. Incorrect. Highly protected meaning, you would not even get a redacted document.
