  1. I was just happy to see that the issue of a stadium is actually being talked about in the community. Most seemed responsive. I wish I were able to make it to the Stony Brook game this weekend. I have heard nice things about their stadium. A lot of folks mentioned the buffalo stadium but I think Stony Brook is the better model to follow.
  2. It was a great night in Newark, Delaware last night. Sold out stadium and perfect weather. I was sitting on the Delaware side of the stadium and the fans were most suprised by Albany's speed (as was I). In the second half I was just praying for the clock to keep moving to get out of there with a win. The blue hens definitely have the support of the community behind them. One day I hope Albany can have something close. Go Danes!
  3. I am very impressed by the schools on the OOC schedule. There are a lot of well known programs we are playing that are solid academically (for what its worth) as well. I think having these types of schools will put fans in the seats. People and students will want to see an Ivy league team or a Delaware versus a school nobody has heard of.
  4. I will give stony brook some credit. They have found away to get good press coverage in newsday for both football and basketball. Plus they took the plunge to invest in a very nice football stadium. While albany may be ahead in terms of Basketball development, SB gets the nod from me in football. Now make America East Football a reality and I'll be a happy camper!
  5. I think a UAlbany/Buffalo game would be a great matchup. I think other states have gotten into the scheduling business. I remember reading alot about West Virginian politicians pressuring WVU and Marshall to start playing each other in Football. Didn't Virginia's politicians have a part in getting Virginia Tech in the ACC when the whole big east breakup was happening.
  6. I think that was an overall fair review of the potential and questions for Albany in the upcoming year. If we can get some solid play at the center spot we will be set. We are absolutely stacked on the wings and I am always a big fan of having some JUCO players on the roster. They step right in with experience and I thing knight and ross will be great for the team. I think we will have the flexibility to go big or small depending on who we are up against. Anyone hear about the availability of tickets for the UConn game over thanksgiving weekend?
  7. I was able to get tickets for the delaware game on ticketmaster.com I believe they just went on sale yesterday. My seats are on about the 25 yard line pretty high up.
  8. I just bought a few tickets for the Delaware game. A Saturday night game there should have a good crowd. Any UA fans planning to go?
  9. I think a UAlbany/ UDayton game would be a good match up having lived in both places and attended games at each. The other pioneer teams are spread out quite a bit. I would love to play in dayton. Lots of high school talent in that area.
  10. Pefect! Just what we need to make this an outstanding class of recruits. Although Colorado St might be tough to beat it sure would be nice. A 6'3" guard with college playing experience will help. More for 07-08 than this coming year but it will give him a year in the system.
  11. I was also suprised to see the big pay range in the league. Granted Boston and Long Island are a lot more expensive places to live. I would think though that Hartford is in the same range as terms of cost of living. I would be curious to know how much Hofstra's coach makes as a good comparison for Stony Brooks salary. I think if we bump things up to the Hartford range 160-175k we will keep him for a while. A couple more years like this will have CAA and MAC teams calling even maybe a Richmond from the A-10. Maybe we can have the old Vermont Coach brennan talk to him about how nice it was to stay in one place for a while.
  12. A new york state kid would be nice. We can strike while the iron is hot. Maybe someone from one of the bigger NYC schools. Start a pipeline up the thruway! I'd try to go for a speedy guard. After next year with Jamar and Siggers gone, I can see the need for someone who can drive the lane. Just my thoughts. We have enough bigs with Covington, Brent, Connolley, and the two big freshman.
  13. I've read about the new scholarship the NEC schools can now offer. Do we know if any of the 25 folks who signed with us were given scholarships? I think publicity the BB team gave the university plus the scholarships should help elevate the program. Hopefully we can close the gap with the teams like Hofstra and beat the Patriot League teams although I hear they are moving towards athletic scholarships as well.
  14. I talked to a few folks today around DC that were wearing Albany t-shirts. Now lets finalize a contract for coach brown.
