UAlbany football rolled out 'red carpet' to get Tyler Pastula Punter transfer from Delaware also had a trip to Oregon. First full-pad scrimmage was yesterday. Two of the four QB candidates are ahead of the others, but GG didn't name them. He plans to play two or three of them against Baylor.

Probably not Syracuse, but the SUNY Poly campus in Utica, and the American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics in Rochester is also managed by Poly.

Has UAlbany women's basketball team found an answer at point guard? TU story on Estonian Marie Sepp

Practice started today Jackson Ambush tries to lead UAlbany football out of CAA basement https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Jackson-Ambush-tries-to-lead-UAlbany-football-out-17346552.php?utm_campaign=CMS Sharing Tools (Premium)&utm_source=share-by-email&utm_medium=email

Most of above re arenas repeated in the TU today "We're still working through that," Killings said. "We're trying to finalize our schedule. There's a couple of steps to kind of figure out which venue, so hopefully we'll find that out once we announce our schedule for this season." UAlbany also needs a place to practice once its players return from break next month. MVP Arena general manager Bob Belber said he has spoken with UAlbany athletic director Mark Benson about playing their home games at the downtown arena next season. Of course, Siena is already a tenant at MVP Arena and gets preference on dates under terms of its contract. "It's far from a likelihood that it's going to be here, but yeah, we have provided them with what they would need to be able to play their games here," Belber said. "But they're not necessarily all the dates that they would want. ... Most of our weekends are already booked up with Siena or lacrosse or shows. We do have some weekend dates we can provide, but they would have to be flexible in using other dates besides what they have historically used and they would have to be willing to maybe do a couple of doubleheaders here or there the same day as Siena, afternoon-evening type thing." Belber said he's waiting to hear back from UAlbany on the dates MVP Arena is holding. He said he's heard UAlbany is also considering Hudson Valley Community College. UAlbany deputy athletic director Victor Cegles texted UAlbany could split its home games between multiple venues next season. "Still working through it," Cegles texted. "Biggest hold up is not having the (America East) Conference schedule. Need hard dates to make sure there aren't scheduling conflicts."

Q&A with Gattuso, Ambush and Greaney Kind of surprised it's audio only Commissioner and other coaches at https://caasports.com/news/2022/7/28/2022-caa-football-media-day-recap.aspx

Probably not usually, since they try not to schedule competing games on the same day anyway. Dodgers and Angels shared Dodger Stadium before the Big A was built.

Not close. MAYBE 3400. Can't tell because the dumbass website now only shows stats going back the last three seasons. They have game results, so if you really want to you could look at the box scores game by game and add them up yourself.

Didn’t see anything on Ch 13, Ch 6 posted some of the release on their website. Today Ch 10 put up some video with comments by the coaches at the end https://www.news10.com/sports/ualbany-announces-renovations-for-sefcu-arena-pe-gym/

Official Announcement Building on Greatness Still refers to SEFCU Arena

Per Rothstein, we play at Virginia in Charlottesville 12/28

SEFCU and CAPCOM announced that as of August 1 they will be operating as divisions of the new Broadview FCU, so I'd guess that will be the new name. At least those are real words, not a corporate alphabet jumble (like Heinz Field in Pittsburgh changing its name to Acrisure) Wiki says the Armory has a capacity of 3600 but that seems, um, optimistic

Saw a couple of WBB coaches today. 22-23 venue still undecided
