  1. No one has seriously called for gattusos head. But it's a fun to pretend. This, everyone single one of us on here post in 'heat of the moment'...after a day or two we calm down and realize it's a process. Just sometimes it's frustrating/hard to take 2 steps back to make progress later...
  2. I love the announcers face in the bottom left. And also that Gattuso is in the picture on the bottom right. I was almost in the pic (middle left)...had an awesome view.
  3. I stand corrected on all of my venting the last few weeks. I'll give credit where it's due. Glad we pulled out the win but reading your guys post it sounds like Crook in the first 2-3 games of the season was just a flash in the pan. Guy just sounds awful.
  4. While rarely right and pre-season...I agree with UA'08. Having them higher than SBU, let alone us, is a joke IMO. I don't care how tough they played us. We return most of our team as well, 3 back to back titles, and SBU is stacked as they'll probably ever be. Just makes me think that these voters should get there voting rights removed for a bit...crazy to me.
  5. I dunno...seems a bit far fetched to have them ranked that far ahead of us. I'd be okay if they were like 31 or 33 or something, or just behind us. We've faced them four times from what I can see and beat them by an average of 10 points each game (one of them last year was a 17 pt win for us). Did they recruit some insane player or something?
  6. Is this a pretty good source for ranking? NJIT over those 3 schools? Sounds NOT legit.
  7. Got my tickets today. Again with a nice little folder and some info.
  8. When everything constantly runs through you you will be forced into tough positions and sometimes make mistakes but lets be real here Sam was our BEST player for the entire seasons and when other teams prepared for us he was their #1 concern. It will be tough to replace one of UA's All Time Greats!!! He left with 3, yes three rings, not many players in the history of the AE can say that!!! Peter has a chance to leave with four
  9. I mean I don't know how much of yearly budget goes to the program, but to me if it brings sound academic students to the school, to me why get rid of it. If you look at the teams roster, it is mostly made up of international students. As a school, the team is doing recruiting on the international level as well. At the same time, Gordon Graham seems to be making strides with the program. I understand the benefits, but do they outweigh the costs? I won't sugar coat it, I'm not a big tennis fan. I'll occasionally follow the results on ESPN (I know who the big names are, etc.) but if this is putting the school back $500k (don't know, just throwing a number out), I'd rather they take that $500k and put it towards a more meaningful sport that engages the community on a far greater level...but that's just me. If it's only setting the school back like $50k having that team, then just leave it because there is some benefit as you stated.
  10. My comment was more of a sarcastic tongue in cheek remark given the disparity of discipline handed out by both schools...for those who couldn't pick up on it. Dang internet...
  11. Looks like they fixed it cause I can see it now. Pretty cool.
  12. Yeah the color guy said it too...I think his exact quote was, "Getting tired of saying freshman before each UA name...if they can put it together they will be a tough out" or something like that. We'll see if that happens...
  13. Love it! A bit OT, but his first block for Thomas reminded me of who Thomas was...had to share this for the general football fans on this forum, kid was INSANE in college. Whenever I wanna watch a cool highlight video of football...I go to this one. Obviously college doesn't always translate to the NFL as we know...but his play in college reminded me of a guy in the NFL by the name of Barry Sanders. He's probably the shiftiest guy I've ever seen with a football since Sanders. Wish we could get a CAA type kid like this one day... Favorite moves: 1:50 3:04 3:20 His ability to do a stutter step akin to a crossover move on the basketball court freezes opponents and it's beautiful. /mancrush ahahaha
  14. Thanks for clearing that up about Croskey...that's what I thought was the case (that he didn't play a down - thanks for adding the reason).
  15. Ball game. 38-31. Albany fought tough and almost overcame 4 TO's to win the game. Whatever they did in practice leading up to this game, they need to keep doing it. A game to build on. EDIT: Gattuso needs to shut up. I'm surprised he's not thrown out of every game.
  16. Richmond missed the kick. Albany ball with 4 min left 38-31. WE HAVE A CHANCE!
  17. Fumbled on his first carry..leading to a Spider score. Ahh, missed it. Weird that he's not on the ESPN boxscore as having a carry and the announcers mentioned they hadn't seen him. Surprised they yanked him for one mistake and haven't put him back in...weird. Oh well Hanks has done a great job with 190+ yards.
