And evidently a hook shot. Goodness. Love at first sight.

try switching it to HD modeIn HD and it's also choppy for me, pauses evey 5 secs for half a second. But GDG pointed out audio is perfectly fine its their video. So it's likely not the feed just the camera they use. Also in HD mode, sound is fine but the video kind of slows down every few seconds. Maybe I'll try a diff browser. Let me know if that works, we are using Chrome. I'm on Chrome. And yes, Charles has a sweet jumper. Me likey.

In HD and not choppy for me. I like Charles...kid has a nice mid-range jumper for being a big. He might end up being our #3 option behind Hooley and Singletary. Over Sanders.

We do have them...not sure what they are. But that's my point, I don't even know why Brown is bothering...it does nothing but get you 1 win closer to a 20 win season and MAYBE some 'game action' practice lol.

Lets take this conversation over to a BBall thread (this is why we need an off-topic section, BTW)... Back to football... http://www.ualbanysports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=15800&ATCLID=210503592 Golden Apple? I guess. I like the idea...similar to the Albany Cup.

lol...that is pretty crazy though. However, IMO, if you suck so bad that you lose by 90...that's your own fault. I hate 'mercy' rules and it has nothing to do with bad sportmanship IMO. I'll help you up if you fall down, as an opponent, but if you're so bad that I beat you into submission...too bad. Suck it up, buttercup. What do people expect? The winning team to purposely miss shots or hold the ball and get shot clock violations? At the same time...why is a D1 team playing a D3 team? At least do D2...

This is the football thread...lol

Anyone know where we can watch this?

Last game of the year. I think we finish it with a win.

Since I started watching UA football with the first game at BoFo, we hardly ever run slants, etc.

The dark intro's will give the game a more 'big time' feel for sure. Love that they added that. Can't for the mens home opener!

I stand corrected. Did not know Ngachie was hurt. Also, on the TV it didn't look too bad (like dslyank mentioned) for the snaps/holds...it's not like Crook or whoever was holding had to jump up to grab an errant snap. But perhaps it was just enough I guess... Agree with both of you though...we had a ton of opportunities to convert and failed to do so. Just been that kind of year.

Did not catch that. So is he unsuspended and just getting coach DNPs? Or is this common practice in college (letting a player get dressed even if he's suspended).

Holding issues? Right. No offense but I have a oceanside property to sell Gattuso. It's in Montana. Sounds like he's trying to save Toole's pride. Sounds like me saying 'the wind took it' on a bad pass in recess back in the day lol.

The same stuff was said about Ngachie and his videos showed great speed too. Does he even play anymore? I think I've heard his name called once all year. I'll believe this Mencer kid when I see it.

Who is Eli Mencer?

Sure does. Like I said on the pre-season rankings...having NJIT higher than us, SB, AND UVM was a joke and a slap to our collective faces. Don't care how good their future has been looking lately.

Sussman has earned the right to go into next seasons training camp as the penciled in starter. His mistakes are all just due to inexperience where as Crooks are due to bad awareness, etc. as well as a bit of physical ability (for example, Sussman is a much better runner/scrambler). Overall, could have been worse. We left a TON of points on the board today and may have won the game if we had converted. What happened to Toole? Did our old kicker from a few years ago come back and steal his mojo? Gattuso should have stopped kicking after the 2nd miss as it was pretty clear kid was having an off day. The definition of insanity is doing something over and over and expecting different results. The missed TD by Manzo-Lewis was a killer to. You can't get any more open than that for a TD. But...regardless of what happens, Sussman needs to remain the starter until either another recruit beats him out in training camp or he gets hurt. Crook is not and will never be the guy IMO. Perhaps with a much healthier team next year (on both offense and defense) and maybe some newer kids that supposedly need to be recruited we can start building something again. These last few weeks with Sussman have been a good test to see what we have though going forward.

llko cut Sanders some slack he only played 17 min. OK he was 0-5 from the floor but he had no turnovers, I thought offensively he wasn't assertive enough I think we are going to be fine with Andrews and Cremo coming off the bench. Can't cut him slack, regardless of minutes. He was pretty bad last night. He faded into oblivion in the 2nd half, but in the first 10 minutes of the first half he was controlling the offense (I think all 5 of his shots were in that span), not moving the ball as well, etc. He even brought the ball up once or twice if I recall. One of his layups was as bad as the one against SB. Just ugly. I'm not going to sugar coat it...as our third best player, this needs to be an aberation. I'm hoping it is. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that in my post. The rules. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I know they are new and everyone is trying to figure them out but some of them were so ticky tacky I would have ran that ref off the floor if it happened at SEFCU with my heckling (like the Nationwide commercial lol). If it's just refs who don't know their job, that sucks and needs to be fixed. If it's because of the rule changes the NCAA made, shame on the NCAA. That game was ugly with the amount of calls (some of which were so bogus). Even the players (both sides) were standing around with faces suggesting, "WTF did I do!?"

My take on the game: I thought Evan was great attacking the basket but pretty terrible jump shooting. Seemed like he was never 'set' on his shot. I thought Sanders played like garbage pretty much the entire game. I know it's UK and all, but come on. Dude was chuckin up bricks to the point that I almost wanted to start calling him Kobe. Had 1 or 2 shots blocked. Richard Peters looked great. Charles too. Both move good for bigger guys. What happened to our FT shooting? We were one of the best in the nation last year, no? I have zero worries about AE play...we'll be fine. Oh and as mentioned before...we had a better showing than LCC. Good night all around. Did anyone see the graphic of the 3 NCAA tourneys losses? All have been 12 points or less and this one was 13. We're no longer getting blown out by these elite teams by 30-40...we keep it somewhat respectable.

Hahah. Man, I'm only 10 years removed from HS but I sure do miss it sometimes. Whenever I walk in there for voting or for the occasional band concert...#nostalgiaoverload

That still ain't bad...until your remember they have like 10,000 kids lol. 17 would be impressive from my little school that I went to (Ravena Coeymans Selkirk - where Gary Jones went to school) as my entire graduating class was only 173 lol.

Wow. That's pretty impressive that so many of their student athletes are going to play NCAA sports (no matter the level).

Buffalo again? Is this going to be a yearly 'rivalry' like our game against SB? If so, I LIKE IT.
