    I don't remember who normally starts these, but with the season opening in a few days, felt it was time to start one.

    Marcus Jackson may be missing due to a wrist injury, and Neely isn't ready yet. It doesn't sound serious for Jackson which is good, and I think we expected that with Neely.

    No need to send out a search party for me. I'm still around.

    Yank, I did respond to your messages. Not sure why you didn't see them but I will check again. Hopefully you don't give us a lousy Yelp review.

    You're right about not seeing me at UA events. I haven't been going as much lately and probably won't in the near future. It's not a statement about the administration or anything. Recent life events have made me reshuffle priorities. Sports are great, but they are the dessert in life, not the main course. I've had to skip dessert recently and likely will for a while. 

    Eli, you are more than welcome to build another forum with a similar mission. I'll keep this one up until you do and then pull the plug when you're done.

     

    Glad to see ya around! No need to build a new forum, this one is just fine...but just offering to be QB2 😜

    Be well sir!

    I am not sure what you mean by "he deserves some credit" then you say in effect that he deserves all the blame when things go wrong.

    Ultimately, that is his job description. He's the head coach. Whether it's players not executing, coaches not coaching, him not recruiting...at the end of the day he is the responsible party and the buck stops with him.

    Again, credit where it's due so far this year but he needs to do this multiple years in a row for the bad taste he's left in the previous 9 years (this is year 10) to wash away.

    .... and this all started by Mark Benson keeping his word and extending Greg Gattuso contract, which in turn has led to a group of student-athletes committing to the UAlbany.  I give credit to Benson for his patience with Gattuso. 

    Not sure I agree. Gattuso just happened to hit on some of the kids he's recruited. Lets be honest - he deserves some credit for THIS team but we have nearly a decade of evidence of him being absolutely putrid otherwise. One good year will not erase the disaster that has been Greg Gattuso. 3-4 years of winning consistently? Then we can talk about 'corners turned'. End of the day, he still has a 41.6% winning percentage. That's not good.

    EDIT: If GG does good this year, watch Benson extend him again lol.
