This is hilarious.

He's been in a growth process for 9 years. 

And I love his 'I've been doing this a long time' bit that he LOVES to use. He once told me that he doesn't care what fans think about the playcalling or coaching because, yep, you guessed it...he's been doing this a long time.

The audacity of this blowhard...

Losertusso is now 38-56 all-time at UA. 40% winning percentage. HOW DOES HE STILL HAVE A JOB!?

This program is a joke. EVERYONE needs to be fired. Every coach and most of the athletic administration for enabling them. It's feast or famine with these people and it's usually famine. 59 points one week, 3 the next. Unbelievable.

According to Twitter Amica is hurt (what else is new). To what extent, who knows.  

Poor kid just needs to hang em up. Made of glass.

Eh, Casey Stadium is nicer. The only thing they may have better than us is the location/quality of the FB locker rooms.

EDIT: Just as I had guessed, this thing opened when I was 14. Yeah, that's ancient and it looks like it.

Well, best SUNY in FCS

On a perfect day, 100% sunshine, no wind, 60 degrees, Albany and Stony Brook drew… 2,403. I guess that’s what happens when both “rivals” are 1-6

Oh, right. Forgot about Buffalo. That's a my bad. 

Okay, well then. At least we know we're the best SUNY football team. That's something ya'll! 

This is a must win for even an ounce of respectability...within our education system. We cannot go 1-7.

Hey blowhard (Gattuso), you also know that UA opponents get a lot of calls against them too right? Haven't checked the numbers yet but we're #1 or #2 on opponent penalties.

STFU and coach, doofus.

Stony Brook and Villanova merged?

I'm almost as bad at making game threads as Gattuso is at coaching 🤣😂🤣.

We will truly know apathy has set in if Eli does not start a thread Game 8  vs. Stony Brook .....

🤣 I was throwing the idea around but just posted it. My stats ranking tracker won't be updated until probably after the SBU game though as that is hard to do from my phone in a foreign country.

He once told me in an email that fans need to STFU, he's been coaching or playing all his life and he and his staff knows best. Basically. That was the nail in the coffin for me with this clown. This was like 5 years ago. 

His all-time UA win percentage is now 40.2%. He is about to be in the 30s. Unbelievable.

This is really sad. I loved watching UA football on Saturday's.  I'm not local so I remember watching grainy video on the Dane Zone. Now I find myself not caring at all. I gave up my FloSports subscription after a month and basically follow games through twitter if at all.  I had so many of my alumni friends getting involved, was putting together trips to Albany for games and got those friends to away games that were close to the NYC area. Now none of them want to make these trips anymore. None of them are engaged in the program.  It's sad and terrible and I hope someone from Athletic Dept reads this to see that Gattuso blowing this program up has a real effect on alumni engagement and donations. 

Trust me: they read the forum. They simply continue to enable this clown and defend him. 

The fish is rotting from the head on down (Benson).  

Instead of waiting to see if he could replicate his playoff performance like a sane staff, they jumped to a massive conclusion. Meanwhile, we have 7 other years of evidence (now 8 years) to show us that he is a garbage coach. 

Eh, who am I kiddin. This clown will be here as long as Bob Ford 🤣.

I wish Gattuso will come to his senses and step down for the player's sake, their families and the fans of the UAlbany football.  As we have learned in last couple days, consequences are for the other guy and/or UAlbany Sports leaders will mitigate the consequences to avoid embarrassment.

Losertusso will keep taking a check as long as one is offered to him. Guy has zero balls to admit he's a terrible coach and resign. All he has the balls to do is blame others. 

He needs to be fired or he will never leave of his own volition. 

Dumpster 🔥🔥🔥

I don't like that a group I've never given my email too had my email. Is UAlbany selling our contact info? 

Poff has been named player of the week.

If he gets serious looks elsewhere, no way a talent like that sticks around. 

I was planning to watch the game from the Punta Cana Beach I will be on on the 22nd but I think I'm going to just watch the beach sales guy try to hawk their $1 magnets/wares (hopefully not to me). 

Stats rankings update.

Notables:

• We allow nearly 10PPG more than the next worst defense.
• We have a really good offense but an AWFUL/ATROCIOUS defense. Wasn't that Gattuso's specialty? Isn't he a defensive coach?
• Opponents convert 3rd down more than half the time against us, worst in the league.
• Ditto for 4th down, more than 50% of the time but we are 11th out of 13 in the league

That's a tough end there, 1 yard away, but...and here's the kicker...WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN OT. WE HAVE LOST TWO CAA GAMES TO TEAMS PLAYING IN THE CAA FOR THE FIRST F'IN TIME! We are in year nine. 9!!!!! And to make matters worse, it was on homecoming weekend where we ONCE AGAIN will squander a good crowd and turn off a bunch of fans from ever watching another UA FB game.

I don't even want to hear 'we were 1 score away' or 'we were 1 yard away'...that's a BS excuse and it has been used ad nauseum for 8 of the past 9 years. IT'S OLD. Win or STHU.

I was asked by the athletic department to be positive online in order to secure parking passes for the CCSU game, but I'm done. I don't care anymore. I will burn whatever bridge I have left to burn. I will trash Gattuso until the day he is fired. Hopefully the top of the Athletic Department (multiple people who enable this clown show to go on year after year after year) go with him. We need to clean house. I will likely still support MBB with season tickets, but I will not spend another dime on football until a regime change occurs (that includes FloFootball). What is Rodriguez doing/thinking keep Benson and Gattuso around? I keep trying to show them grace and give them second chances and they don't deserve it. Tired of watching this garbage.

We once had a super promising athletic program. Football was decent/good in the NEC. MBB and WBB were winning championships. Lacrosse was #1 in the entire freakin country. Where are we now? Sure, we have a decent Casey stadium and a soon-to-be-shiny SEFCU...but I'd rather play in dumps and win games than play in facilities that will be 20% full because our programs suck.

I will finish with this (as of tonight):
