Dinner's cooked boys and girls. We're way overmatched. They are doing whatever they want on offense.

Was a great year but I don't see how we can compete with this.

Yeah, we're over matched. 

We're on the homepage of ESPN. #whynotus

It's game night!

Ahh! Touche! Totally didn't register that he said December hahah.

. . . when they come east to play on our field in December.

I've seen this posted a few times - aren't we going there?

I was thinking the same thing. He’s from Belgium and is listed at 6-5 260. Basically Charles Barkley size. Temple is his third stop. 

Was he as good at rebounding as the Round Mound of Rebound?

I hate this new era of college sports. You will almost NEVER see a 4-5yr program kid anymore. It's basically college level free agency. 

Are...are we back? FB going great. MBB holding it's own. WBB doing great...are we back?

I guess I'm really bad at geography - South Dakota sounds like it's sooooo far away but it's only 1hr difference. Moscow ID on the other hand is -3. I guess a 3hr flight and a -1 hr difference is not that big a deal. It's not like these guys are flying at the back of a SWA flight next to a baby or something...they should be able to get some shut eye - if they want it - on the plane no problem.

They probably returned to NY for the campus food.

That's another bad decision. After they got rid of Wendy's and Tim Horton's in the campus center, it all went downhill! I think we had the only Tim Horton's this side of Buffalo.

Make that three! Hip hip hurray!

Kinda funny seeing people on twitter doubting how we can play in the cold and wind. Definitely never been to Albany in the winter 😅

I'm so glad UAlbany had the tunnels 🤣. Made all the difference.

If I had to guess it wasn’t up to the school 

That makes sense...probably state pinching pennies. That'd be a shame. Tire our kids out and lose the game. 

What a dumb decision. One that may cost us the game due to being tired from so much travel.

What are they going to do turn around and fly back out tomorrow? They should of stayed out there and practiced outdoors. 

Evidently they have landed in Albany. Stupid decision. 

This pleases me to no end. LCC is an after thought.

Let me guess, another 9-10pm game time on Friday.

Who makes these calls?  Not exactly convenient.  Couldn’t yesterday’s game start at 7??????

It's 7pm EST. 

🤣🤣🤣

With last nights win, the Danes matched the 1997 Danes of the D2 Eastern Football Conference for most wins in program history at 11. One more win and these Danes set a new record.

Richmond fan here. I watched the game, start to finish.  You all are for real.  You are the class of the CAA.  You have a tough, gritty team.  You have made the league better.  You have made us proud.  Now, you have unfinished business. You won the CAA, now go shock the world.  

I always thought you were a UA fan hah. Good stuff!

The other guys message board.

I signed up there but can't seem to post. What is it with these others teams having such horrid forums? lol. Last team charged $8, this team you sign up but can't post (until I assume some time goes by in order to avoid spam?).

So happy the semifinals isn't just the Big Sky and the Dakotas.

But seriously - what's in the water over there? The high plains region of the US just absolutely owns FCS football - until now.

That Halloween gag of coming to practice dressed as Poff is pretty funny. Good for him indeed. Hopefully these big playoff wins bring him some more uber talented players he can make into winners and keep us in the playoff hunt year in, year out.

Also, in that pic, Poff has a massive ball(s) between his legs. That 3rd and 5 run was LeGit!
