Dug thru the stadium construction thread, it took two weeks from the first day they rolled out the turf to when they started the rubber-pellet infill, then a little more for striping, logos and numbers. This isn’t like a new stadium that has to build a base, drainage, etc .

The Fieldturf website says it’s even possible, depending on conditions, to just put a new rug on top of the old one, saving about $150 K. If you want to.

Even if we were interested, would Buffalo block our entry to the MAC

And I don't want to imagine Rodger Wyland confusing the MAC and the MAAC

McGee looks like a real fine addition, but he’s somewhat of an enigma. Highly regarded out of HS, nice start with the Ducks,

Oregon State are the Beavers, OU are the Ducks

After trailing for much of a tight first half, women outscore UNH 9-1 in the third, win 18-9

I was in Albany last weekend.  On my way back to dutchess county I passed campus on Washington Ave, and saw a large purple fence outside of colonial quad.  Does anyone know what they are doing?

During the 2023-2024 school year, UAlbany is 4-0 against Siena with wins in Baseball, MBB, WBB & Volleyball.  Softball has a doubleheader on Thursday, however; the weather forecast may come into play.

 

5-0, Women’s Golf won the Crosstown Challenge back in September. Rematch on April 14 and MAAC Championship on April 19

 In a game as artistically ugIy as you'd expect,  I guess why they didn't want to play us - Albany scores 17 runs on only 10 hits, receiving 12 walks, 4 hit by pitch, and 7 errors by LCC. 17-12 final

Was Helene injured? I wasn’t able to watch/hear the whole game. In any case, great season with a less than spectacular ending and they overcame a lot to put it together. 

Yes, TU says she was ill and then took an elbow to the head, may have broken her nose- I saw she had gauze in her nose- but she still tried to play
