Hahah @ the meow bit. That was great.

Zach and Rodger Call..it's been found!

 

That's awesome. This call is infinite times better than the original. Why? Because it's our guy.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" - that's what I was screaming lol...with ya there Roger.

 

 

 

Is that guy who was jumping courtside on the right on this board? I see him at a lot of games I go to.

 

Also, Peter's story is on the front page of ESPN's Men's basketball section. Bottom right.

It's Matt M. Not sure if he is on the board or not.

 

Who knew he had that kind of vertical? That's a great video, thanks for sharing it.

 

 

This video I think kind of mimics what we all felt, first shot went up and was so far off we were like no (dejected) and then the Peter shot and a complete reversal of emotions. I heard myself scream on one of the other videos and I'm borderline embarrassed, I sound like I just pee'd myself. Completely irrational exuberance, complete loss of control over my emotions, I just let whatever come out of my mouth go...

 

lol. If you watch the video posted earlier of the entire arena reacting to the shot, you can hear the volume of the crowd go down before the explosion while everyone held their breath.

Haha Sam bet Peter to say Meow!

Hope someone posts it so I can see that lol

ou lineup:

cousins 6'4"

hield 6'4"

woodard 6'0"

thomas 6'8"

spangler 6'8"

Height wise, they aren't much bigger than us.

Heild is a fringe NBA draft prospect though.

Yeah he goes to every game. I noticed we also have a new courtside fan who's been to the last few games (sits a few seats down from Matt)...my former HS guidance counselor lol. I haven't had a chance to talk to him, and not even sure he'd remember me (I graduated HS in 2005, can't believe it's been a decade)...but it's nice to see new faces come regularly.

 

Ahh okay. Thanks.

 

EDIT: Which site did you use? The ones I found download it as AAC format (stupid Apple .m4a format).

EDIT 2: NVM, found one: http://anything2mp3.com/

Should be able to use this too...

http://www.downloadmixcloud.com

 

Tried, only AAC/m4a. The one I used worked great and downloaded as MP3. I work in IT - but my mind doesn't work great in the morning hah. Didn't even think to use you a web downloader (I use them for YouTube songs/music videos that I can't find on Amazon - usually EDM stuff).

Thanks!

Ahh okay. Thanks.

This morning Brian Cody and the Fly 92.3 Morning Rush radio show did a piece on Peter, Will and the game. If you don't know Brian Cody is a supporter of Will's and the team and often does the Men's Basketball Golf Fundraiser auction..so he is part of the purple family.

 

Anyways this morning he spoke for about 5-10 mins on how this isn't just a story about Peter and this one shot, how it's a story about the entire UAlbany community, the team, winning and not getting respect in a "Siena" town, the amazing coaching that Will does etc. That this is a story about the last 3 years of a team winning and fighting. It was everything we all say wrapped up into a nice little segment. They kept saying how the school continues to win, has such a great tight knit community who is there to support Peter. And that this is also an amazing give back to the community that supported him. Must say it was such a great commentary piece. I know Brian is a huge supporter of Will's so I know he meant every word he said.

 

Brian was the one who also made this http://fly92.com/common/more.php?m=49&post_id=11151

Excellent. Lots of people listen to the Fly Morning Rush. Maybe this'll bring more fans in tomorrow.

Any idea how I can download that audio clip?

Really llko really...rolls eyes lol

 

Good press love it. Interviewer was a suny alumn.

I'm mostly making light of it...not really upset lol.

But yeah, time to get to work.

Great interview...awesome stuff. The only thing I hated was them referring to us as SUNY (we all know I want that acronym GONE)...but beggers can't be choosers lol.

Peter did very well and even gave us a nice shout out

Every real basketball fan in the country is going to know who we are after this week is over. Not to mention that we have a womans region at the TUC as well.

Albany is on THE map.

Yeah that was great.

lol @ Betamax.

Since I feel I need to show they do use billboards saw this one twice this afternoon.

 

 

We believe you, lol. It's just a much more concentrated effort the last few months as opposed to last season for example. Benson has already made swift upgrades in terms of how we market, that is evident.

 

 

Prediction: Albany goes on a run that ends at the hands of Virginia.

I'd sure take a spot in the Sweet Sixteen.

 

In Syracuse.

 

I was thinking the same thing. If we make it 'Cuse, I will ABSOLUTELY be there.

Ahh okay. It's not so much results, but just him experiencing what it's like at this time of year for our program...and a memory he can relive just as we now can. Just curious, I know he's officially signed and it's a moot point...would just have been cool for him to see.

Anyone know if Cremo was at the game on Saturday? I noticed him every game for most of the year sitting in the front of our section but the last 4-5 games I haven't seen him. Nothing confirms to someone they made the right decision than watch that game and how it ended and the crowd reaction lol.

Haha ^^^

LOL

This picture is awesome. The calm look on Peter's face, Coach Gattuso on the right, the announcer on the bottom left rising out of his chair while making the call. I know some of you are in this photo as well. Love it!

 

Amazing.

Whatever we do, we need to keep the 'bleachers'...the foot stomp is AWESOME and if we remodel SEFCU and make permanent seating/concrete stands...it'll take that one huge fan advantage away. Anyway, we had a thread about this.

Still crazy about what happened on saturday.

I think he pulls a Bob Ford and sticks around for a few more decades

Yeah, this is still major news.

Walked into the office today and 4 guys knew all about it (so far) and were asking me. Some were quite jealous of my seats (IMO, you can't get better seats). One guy overheard me telling the other 3 and says over the wall, "Did you were there? That's so awesome."
