Coach Brown/AD Benson Thread
JonUA97 replied to nysteve661's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
I've been dormant here for quite a while, I must say that I'm not thrilled about this at all but I know that WB will land on his feet. This however is the last straw for me with MB. I feel like he never made an effort with middle donors and that we were taken for granted as "loyal fans" but our pockets were not deep enough for him. Sad thing is that many members of the Sec 600 crew are now in the position to be giving at a higher level and we are probably going to balk at it. His public lashing of SM over the TK1 Insta fiasco where he was "compelled to publicly repudiate" SM's statement about the NCAA Monopoly showed what he is about. Matter could have easily been dealt with SM releasing an apology statement that says he was acting rashly and responding emotionally and discussed the matter with internal UA staff. Instead MB grandstanded instead of standing my Marr. FOH MB, low class move. So for me this was a dead issue a long time ago, but this gong show just solidified it for me and most of 600 crew, We will continue to support teams but it will be limited to one or two hoops games a year and Lax when my kids aren't playing at their respective schools. -
I have to agree with Daneguy here (I hate doing that). I knew what I posted earlier this week would set this off but again, knowing how many folks that are admitted to the bar around here, I think that we would all agree that we need to take a breath, let the due process take course and heed the advise of ATL. As far as when our program became big time, I think it was right around the time they headed down to Delaware and opened a can of Great Dane whoop-ass on the Blue Hens. That put the program on the map for sure. OT- UAlbany09 check your PM. Just remember to breathe before you post (I can't belive that I just said that) See you all for homecoming this weekend! SSS

Not for nothing and I know that I am going to get smoked from the flames after people read what I am about to say. Does anyone find it strange that the DA (David Soanes) and the Guilderland Police Chief (Murley), both people might I add could not investigate their way out of a paper bag were able to make an arrest so quickly? I know that the State Police Lab is right next door but even if a kit is done 24 hours is rather rapid turnaround time. I would ask that everyone reserve judgment here of both the accuser and the accused. As mentioned in earlier posts about a Lacrosse program and their problems, I think that the arrest trigger was pulled rather quickly. Let's face it no other reported rape on campus has ever been handled this quickly. ATL Dane said it best, let's just step back and take a breath. I just have a weird feeling about this one, there is going to be more than meets the eye. SSS

Not for nothing the hardcore alumni that live out of the area still get a full season! But I think that some of my other friends would have considered the $35 package had I not gotten the 4 seats this year. SSS

I can't agree more with this post. It is clear that Lee has the vision to move this program forward. I must admit the loss of Kermit Hall is huge. I hope that when we find a new President he has the same vision as Lee to take this program forward. Let's face it, without a conference SBU is going to be in Deep Scoobie Poop. I can't imagine what kind of scheduling nightmare that will be. How many home games are you going to get late in the season in Stony Brook, NY? Shirley Strum has a different leadership style and she lets her AD push her around (IMHO), there is no way that any sane President would let this happen. Like Siena... Stony Brook Still Sucks!

Small steps toward a greater goal. We need a respectable facility first. That should be goal number one. The draw for a Penn State, SU, Rutgers game would be great but how many people want to sit on a hill? SSS -
16449[/snapback] This is out of control but if my memory serves me correctly, NYS Class A Baseball Champs 1993 (the year after I graduated) and County Champs in 1997 I don't have all of the records but I will make a trip to the gym sometime this week. Either way the facility at East Meadow is better than the one at UA. Must be those high school tax bills we pay down here... SSS

Is anyone going down for the game? SSS 16165[/snapback] Yes, I got tickets thru the athletic dept. The game is sold out (or, they announced there were only 100 tickets left this morning). Already invited to some UD fans tailgate. Driving down tomorrow. Should be fun 16172[/snapback] I have a UDel alum hooking me up with tickets but as of right now (11pm Friday) no travel partner. SSS
