Wore a dark purple dress shirt, without a tie, and a UA Gold t-shirt underneath to the office today. CEO gave me a hard time for being a front runner. LOL

I'm also wearing purple today (polo), but my cubicle has some UAlbany memorabilia (mini helmet from the football game last year, signed Brown/Abrahamson mini-basketball from the PG scrimmage a few years ago, etc.) so everyone is asking me about the school and the game, etc.

For those worried they wouldn't get practice in the arena.

 

Baker has such a pretty jump shot.

Nice! Going to have a nice little contingent there.

I had Baylor going to the Elite 8 and ISU going to the Sweet 16.

LOL!!! 1986 dammit!!!

Hahaha, that was great. Thanks for the laugh. I love meme's, they make the internet a better place lol.

 

 

 

1896 and 1999 are the only two years that TWO 14 seeds won in the same tourney.

 

I remember that 1896 game. Pretty sure it was NYU knocking off Brown.

How old are you man...

 

 

 

Click - you don't want to know. I can tell you this - I saw Albany beat Siena at Cardinal Mooney HS (or was it Albany beating Cardinal Mooney at Siena HS - one of those two).

 

Actually there are few on here that know me and I was happy to reconnect at the Stony Brook game last week.

 

I think he meant that you were alive in 1896...lol

Double post**

Wow, Timothy picked the ISU/UAB game correctly. Lucky! lol

Not sure where to put this, but Peter just got the 2015 SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence.

"This prestigious award recognizes SUNY students in the graduating class who have demonstrated the highest levels of academic excellence and made significant contributions to campus life at the University at Albany."

Honor ceremony will be April 2nd at 10AM at the Empire State Plaza

#14 NE is down 2 to #3 ND with 32.5 seconds left and ND ball.

 

#3's are beatable!

Nevermind, NE turned it over with 2 seconds left. Game. They had a great chance.

I don't consider the HS gym an issue. They just worked on sets, strategy. By now, having played ball for 10+ years like these kids have, they can shoot at any gym; muscle memory has long been achieved. Comfort is another thing, but it's not like they are going to forget what a 30ft 3pt line (or whatever it is in college) is.

I'll just take the crown now, thank you very much.

Not only did he write the article in the NY Post but then there is this. As my friend said, "EXPOSURE!" This will be seen by MILLIONS of people on news stands in and around NYC today. Just amazing.

 

I fear that I am developing a man-crush on Peter. What a great guy.

I give credit to Lee and the former president on getting us to D1, etc....but they REALLY dropped the ball with all of the things that Mark (and President Jones behind the scenes) is now fixing up and rectifying (such as major marketing campaigns - assisted of course by The Shot).

Maybe it's not fair to place the blame on them as maybe these areas (marketing, community engagement) weren't their strong suites/fortes...but Mr. Benson is a breath of fresh air and doing an awesome job. He definitely, without a doubt, seems to be more 'hip' and 'connected'.

As my millennial peers would say, "He be straight killin it #winning #success #onfleek"

Pureifoy hits a layup to tie with 24 sec. left, then misses the and-1; Mercer hits the game-winner with 1.2 left.

 

Vermont's up 9 with 3 minutes left.

Man, deja vu for them and that kid. Oy vey!

 

Update on St. Maarten Women's viewing is at Royal Palm pool bar. Royal Palm, unfortunately, doesn't have TRU TV on their lineup, so I believe we'll be at the SPN sports bar adjacent to Pineapple Pete restaurant. Sorry for all of these updates, but it's tough on the islands. Missed the 1st NYG superbowl in Guadaloupe (French), they'd never heard of the superbowl. Sacre Bleu!!

 

How long is your vacation?

 

Seriously... #ballastatusupinthisshizzle

lol @ Sam saying he's not sure he can buy Peter dinner because it might be a violation. I chuckled.

I believe Logan left cuz UA didnt have what he wanted correct??? Peter said in his interview on TV he was coming back to UA to get his Masters and he even said he wants to play pro ball, over in Europe...he will HAVE TO PLAY next year in order to accomplish that....I ahve zero worries that anything will change..and the Browns are so involved in this community, I'd be shocked if he left

Logan left because we didn't offer the degree he wanted to get, pretty sure you are correct.

Very nice!

That commercial is great.

They've certainly stepped their game up the last 9-10 months for sure. We need to keep the pressure on the local media to push our stories and get this town to realize that they have other options than watching LCC lose.

If I had to guess, probably $125-150k. At least, in the NBL (Australia). They have a cap of around $1M per team, so to field a 10-12 man roster you'd have to split that up. I'm basing that on the fact that he was a great player in that league and an MVP candidate (don't recall if he won one or not).

I think the lack of quality actually makes it better...makes it sound more historic like the old calls you hear from the Yankees games of old, etc. Hahah, maybe that's just me.

Yeah he said practice was at 3 so he's home now.
