Yes, at the end I should have said "Go, Yurt." -

Can we call it the YoGurt or the Yo, Gurt? -
It's a slow Monday, so I'm trying to increase some debate here. I saw from the Times Union that Siena lost again at home yesterday, but the game still attracted 5,100 fans. My question concerns: Why would so many people attend a game when you have a 3-17 record? UA's record is not that great either, but you would have an approximately 50% chance of seeing the home team win. Are some of their fans ripe for poaching?

I started at Albany before you were born. I remember being excited when the school began a football program again. At that point it was only a club team. You newer guys are spoiled with the modern news coverage. After graduation, I lived a distance from Albany and had to search for a store that sold the Times-Union to discover what had happened with the basketball team the night before.

I really thought that 20-point edge for South Dakota State was a joke.

Lo and behold, after noticing that our team always seems to be outblocked, UA led Temple tonight in blocks, 6-3. Moral of the story: just complain about something. I'm really surprised the outcome of the game was so close.

I remember that morning, and I think that low temperature still stands for Albany's lowest record temperature ever. Later in the day it warmed up to +22° after a week of brutally cold weather. Kids were out in Dutch quad in shorts throwing frisbees.

Let's hope Idaho spudders throughout the rest of the game.
