Congratulations B9j2j6s! Awesome

Glad to fly in for the game. Glad we won. That said I had 12 family members join me and I was disappointed in the crowd size.

I just landed in Albany. First time back in a decade. Excited for the game in the morning. Seeing UAlbany buildings with "SUNY Poly" on it just hurts.

Just following up on any tailgating recommendations. I'm flying in late Friday so I'm hoping to get an early jump on tailgating. Is there an alum tent? Is there an upgrade option?

Nice. I approve I still have the lock on Michigan's "UAlbany" plate. I wish I had that "UAlbany" plate when I lived in California. You spend a lot of time in traffic in California staring at the plate in front of you.

I feel bad for the Defense because they are really productive. The Offense needs to get figured out. I'm sure when it was said that defense wins games they didn't intend that to mean with limited to no offensive output. You still have to score.

Huge thanks to Brendan for his tickets. I purchased additional tickets too. I've now got 9 coming thus far and only 2 are alums so building the fan base. I land at 10:30 Saturday morning. How do I get us into a tailgate tent?

Is it just wishful thinking or is there any chance that UA and Poly will come back together? I read a local Utica story about wanting to reverse the rebranding back to SUNY IT.

I made an impulse decision to purchase airline tickets to Albany Saturday 10/29 to attend a UAlbany/Elon football game. My wife will be outta town that weekend and this is my only shot at getting to a game for at least a year or more as we're expecting. It's a very short trip. Flying in Saturday morning and leaving Sunday morning. Love to meet some of you in person.

SUNY Poly is searching for a president. SUNY Albany is searching for a president. The two schools have a shared history and are located across the street from each other. Hmmm. Maybe it's time to merge the schools back?

What is our attendance average to date? Do we get to use 9,200 in that average or does it get reduced to "capacity" at 8500? Seems to me they should be looking to expand stadium capacity in small chunks to avoid criticism and to get to FBS capacity by 10 years. Small bump of 1,500 to start would be nice.

That's very positive. If UA and Albany Law ever move closer it'll require student buy in. Now we know 39 Albany Law students would be in favor. Better yet their fellow classmates that are not UA would be less likely to protest their friend and fellow classmate.

Florida State lost but the other three won. Tennessee was losing with 10 seconds but a miracle got them a win. Slim odds for us

Now I know who to root against. A few losses on their part and we're looking good.

When is it announced?

I'd have to seriously consider making last minute flight plans

College Game Day would be awesome!!!

I bet winning that Buffalo game helped land this deal

I finally have an Albany game near me ? http://www.fbschedules.com/2016/09/central-michigan-open-2018-season-kentucky/ "Central Michigan has also added a home game against the Albany Great Danes. The game is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 29, 2019 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant."

Bring the Nano College home to UA! All self interest aside it's the right thing to do. University controls can prevent big mistakes like was done here

Update: "The University at Albany is expanding academic programs and rebranding its oft-forgotten East Greenbush campus in hopes of raising its national profile as a hub for the health sciences and biotechnology research. University officials will unveil the newly renamed Health Sciences Campus and detail their plans at a 10 a.m. news conference scheduled for Monday on the campus. While the university foundation has operated the 95-acre site since 1996, many in the region and within the university itself are unaware of the so-called East Campus on the other side of the Hudson River. Located off the Columbia Turnpike in the Rensselaer County town of East Greenbush, the campus shares an entrance and driveway with major pharmaceutical and biotech players like Regeneron and AMRI. "Being able to say to say that we are on a health sciences campus, even if it's just a simple change of the name, can go a long way not just in our work but for the region's recognition as a whole," said Phillip Albrecht, whose biotech research company Integrated Tissue Dynamics rents space on the site. Biopharmaceutical and technology companies in the region have long noted that their peers in Boston, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., among other places, have a major leg up on them in securing grants, venture funding and work solely because of their location."

10 am Monday.

Considering the guests this announcement must be beneficial to UAlbany, Albany Law, Albany Med and Albany Pharmacy. The announcement has to be important enough for 4 presidents to take the time. A new affiliation or college? Can't be just another joint program, right?

Presidents of UAlbany, Albany Law, Albany Med and Albany Pharmacy announcing "big news" Monday. What could it be? http://m.timesunion.com/local/article/UAlbany-has-big-plans-for-Rensselaer-biotech-9209980.php

Huge win. So proud
