The loss was so devastating to the team that members were not made available to the press after the game.

Actually  this was written by the times useless Saratoga horse racing reporter 😋

Although the stakes were not the same, we could add “the Kick” to “the Shot” so far as devastating losing for our SUNY brethren on LI. 

What a final kick/moment for Ethan. He blossomed into a pretty good kicker over the years. 

That play by play guy from Fox has got to have the most annoying voice in college sports. 

Despite everything I have said regarding the team and coaching, I am extremely happy for the team, especially the seniors, and the whole coaching staff. It doesn’t rescue a bad year, but at least their final game of 2018 will be a pleasant feeling going into the holidays.

I walked after Stony Brook scored with 17 seconds... Oh Lord should had stay

dickens and I walkout together. Could not believe we won. Was watching replay of basketball game when he phoned me with the results. I thought he was pulling my leg. So in truth even though I was in disbelief , I was @ the game for 3583 seconds and UA absolutely deserved to win. They played their hearts out all game and I am embarrassed that I did not stay for the last 17 seconds. Granted brook shot themselves in the foot several times; but also got a number of calls in their favor, including I fully agree with "96", that the receiver definitely pushed off on the hail mary. UA definitely DESERVED to win this game and in spite of what the stats say; played an assume and inspired effort.

I do not know what any of this means going forward. I still think we need a NEW coach! Doubtful this will happen; but regardless, I HOPE this IS a step in getting UA football back to where it belongs!!!!!!!!!

If you want to see if Stark "booted" SBU out of playoffs, selection show today at 12:30 on ESPNU.

6 CAA teams in.  Wow.  SBU makes it.  Head to SE mIzzu.  If they win head to Utah to play Weber

[Dane96]

According to Committee Chair (Central Ark), SBU wasn’t even among the last three in.  In fact, he said the CAA was insanely strong this year and full of parity. CAA six teams in is a record.

Guarantee that Benson and Co will use this to not make any changes in the off-season.

It was doubtful any change would be made regardless of the outcome of the game.

haha! You only found out they won just now?  That's hilarious!

After 48 years of following UAlbany Football, I have taken this season too seriously... so I take your comment with a grain of salt.

I'm sorry if you took it as a knock on you because it absolutely was not.  I just found the situation itself funny.  I apologize if you took it any other way.

Colgate just took out JMU on a 38 yd FG at the gun to move to quarterfinals.   Maine destroyed Jacksonville St so they are only CAA team left after getting 6 into field.

I watched most of the Colgate JMU game. It was good. JMU’s QB played like VT with 5 INTs. They only gave up 3 ptsoff the TOs, but still. Colgate has a pretty good defense, but not much of a passing game. We will see how far they can go.

Doubt far.  They get that juggarnaut North Dakota St, defending champs next.  NCAA  should make NDSU move up to FBS if they keep winning titles, lol.  They have 6 titles and 5 out of last 6.
