Albany Game Notes

 

6:00, locally on Time-Warner TV, Dane Zone, radio on WOFX 980 AM.

 

I haven't seen anybody pick Columbia, but Sportbet lists Albany as a 26-point favorite, no O/U.

I saw that 26 point spread, and while I love UA, that is a lot of points.

Which UA offense shows up?

[uofalbany]

How about we go for a 70 - 0 victory.... and leave em wanting to drop the football program at columbia.

[Clickclack]

How about just win?

[uofalbany]

I prefer crushing skulls and sending them back to the ivy league in a whimper.

[Eli]

How about just win?

 

Agreed. Whatever we do, DO NOT LAY AN EGG!

Columbia Game Notes

[UAalum72]

Gontarek is surprising

[The_DHC]

Look at that spread.

 

Sorry Columbia

 

[Dane4ever]

Does this have the risk of being a "trap" game? (I didn't bother looking for a trap-door image, but you get the point . . .)

[Eli]

[uofalbany]

What's the spread now?

[UAalum72]

It might be a trap game, except Columbia doesn't have enough talent to close the trap

I never understood these whole "play teams 100000x better than you in the name of 'experience'" idea...to me, it would be utterly demoralizing if I went out to play a team that I had no business playing against and got smoked 50-10 or something. There is no silver lining there, other than maybe, "Hey, we scored 10 points on a team that is akin to the NFL for us."

 

It's like when LSU played Sam Houston State. Or Michigan State vs Jacksonville State (who?). Or Oregon vs South Dakota. Really? That's like pitting UAlbany against the Seahawks. Why? IMO all you do is risk your kids getting injured by getting smoked by a safety or linebacker who is 10x bigger, 10x faster, and hits 10x harder.

 

But hey...I guess if we're looking for easy wins to get fans in the seats...it's all good lol.

UAlbany football won't overlook Columbia
