  1. 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???🤔🤔
  2. 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
  3. Maybe it’s time to say F the portal. Go find the best freshman we can find. Keep them for a couple years; hope with “good” coaching (yeh right 😂); we play competitive basketball 🏀, groom them for the next level; whatever the heck that is???
  4. The sit year for second time portal people is STILL on the books. Like last year it has been waved for 2024; while the ncaa evaluates the whole portal and nli issue. Since we all know the ncaa has no ba!!s at all and moves at glazier speed, the only hope seems to be University president stepping in. IMHO this will happen at some point; who knows when, but IMHO will result in "pro-colleges" and "student athlete colleges". Good chance, I will not be around to see it happen; but HOPING😇.
  5. https://eedition.timesunion.com/infinity/article_popover_share.aspx?guid=21e0b858-4177-45a3-bbf9-d33e4813accb&share=true link to TU article. May have been posted before? anyhow someone somewhere has got to be FIGHTING this thing. 🤪😂
  6. Margoupis & Adan are "something" to build with🤔. In 2- 3 years might be a team again?? Anyhow, Marshall & Thomas not officially gone yet😱. With pretty much every mid/low major team in the county having ½ or more of their rosters on the portal; might be easier to find a team to swap entire line-ups with [JOKE🤣.]
  7. The problem with Casey in the rain; there is not a lot of good/reasonable standing room viewing. With most of the railing on level one being occupied by handicap seating and/or concessions does not leave much viewing space. And going two or more deep, you really see nothing at all; plus getting constantly dripped on from the upper deck. I guess could go upstairs, but I have not been up there in a long time and do not know for sure. At least at Fallon {and believe me I am NOT recommending going back there}, you could stand along the fence for 360º and for the most part view the game satisfactorily. At Casey if you do not want to sit in a slushy/wet seat I guess you could stand ; only if everyone in your section agreed to it?😜 Sorry about the complaining and I get it VT came down early; but the women had time to make a change and I do not see why the men could not?? Broke my heart to miss only my third D1 home game ever💔. Of course watched on espn, but not the same as being there. And again I apologize for the rant, and actually I enjoy lacrosse for being an all-season all weather sport. My family often calls me all sorts of crazy, when I head out the door bundled to the nines, going to lacrosse or football for that matter (not as devoted to football anymore as I use to be though.) Anyhow, DONE. LETS GO DANE TRAIN!🥍🚅
  8. Sorry Law I see NO viable reason why this game should NOT be moved to Sunday. Like CW I've been to UA games for 50+ years in ALL KINDS of weather. In fact I have missed ONLY 2 Lacrosse home games in the D1 era, neither due to weather. I will be there today; but still absolutely think fro player safety and fan/parents/donor comfort DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE GAME CANNOT NOT BE MOVED TO SUNDAY. It has nothing to do with manning up. It has to do with providing a reason fro playing today when a perfectly good alternative exist. SEE YOU THERE; either way🤔
  9. Looked like the Ladies din not want to be there. Saw this a lot in the men's hay days --- just going through the motions after being disappointed when not making the big show. Never understood it then and still don't! I know many on this blog and across the country really put down these "extra" tournament opportunities. Is it really just all about money? Why have these thing if no one wants to play in them? THOUGHTS/OPINIONS
  10. Your wish is granted Due to inclement weather in the forecast in Burlington, Vt., the University at Albany women's lacrosse game at Vermont originally scheduled for Saturday, March 23 has been postponed. The game will now be played Sunday, March 24 at 12:00 pm. From Wlax thread. Are the women smarter than the men. What the He!! is wrong with the men's program; that they are so resistant to making a date change?? Nothing against Scott; but I've sit through too many inclement weather games over the years, where moving the game a day would have provided a better experience for the fans and probably a better safer game for the teams?? Does he think playing in bad conditions gives UA a competitive advantage?????? THOUGHT/OPINIONS.
  11. Agree 100%. Hate it but totally agree with your post.🤐
  12. ++. Actually outplayed Virginia 3 out of 4 periods {granted much of 4th was vs VI subs). IMHO the difference in the game was @ the half UA was celebrating like a punch of middle schoolers {which in a sense they are}. UA went into halftime TOO HIGH. An experienced and more poised team would know VI was going to come out for revenge. They have one of the best coaches in the land, and I just knew he was going to straighten his team out. Not sure if he breathed fire at them or just let them sit and stew; but I said to my wife that the 3-3 game was going to be 3-8/9 before long {I hate being right.} Did bounce back a little in the fourth, but like I said too little too late and some against subs. Still proud of the effort overall. Also, have been asking for sometime about Salit; and noticed Whitcomb has not played in the last two games?? And for those knocking the D; IMHO the shooting %age offensively & clear %age (against good teams at least) are the two areas in need of MOST WORK.
  13. Tried to join need group ID#. Found it I think I am in first time competitor
