UA1882

Poor effort.  Bad coaching.  Enough said.  

We are 2 levels below the top teams. I always expected a .500 conference record at best.  Any more than that is gravy. 

I truly believe defense is all effort.  We don't have it.  Need to find a coach and a team to buy into it.  

Albany got every break/ call in the first half.  If they expect to win the game UML can't shot 60 percent from the field in the 2nd half.

As I thought (and knew last week that negotiations were ongoing because I have indirect, very close connections to the biggest booster at the U), Reese was NEVER option one for the Hurricanes and I hope to god he knew that going into this and wants to learn for a year for a crack at one final shot at playing in his senior year.

Cam Ward just bailed on the NFL and committed to the U.  Reese will only see meaningful time if Cam gets injured.  Full stop.  He was ALWAYS option 1 for the U. 

If I were Reese, I would start looking for a new environment.  The kid could have won a title at Albany...could have built something...and most certainly would NOT have hurt his NFL stock by staying at Albany.  

If he knew, then he made a decision.  If he did not, then he was naïve and I feel for him as he is a great kid. 

I do feel bad.  Unfortunately he made his bed and now has to lay in it. 

And I have absolutely no problem watching him lay in it.  

Anyone know what happened to Little ? Hurt? Discipline?

So does Burkett step in and start? Does he become a FCS star? Is he just competition and challenge to help Van Weber improve? Guess we will find out in the fall, but it seems like a great get for UA in helping to keep the team competitive. I don't think any of us think that the team will repeat this years success, but it would be amazing to have them make the playoffs two years in a row and this could help with that goal. 

I would imagine Burkett was told he will be given every opportunity to start.  We will probably be QB1 on the depth chart to start.  What he does with it and up to him, but I doubt he will just be handed it.  

Good win on the road.  We scored 79.... but it seems if we get to 80 we win.

30-40 cars lined up from Broadview to Western Ave trying to get through the parking system 

I mean this with the most respect.  I did not think there where 30 or 40 cars at the game.  That's awesome for the women !

They’ve beaten everyone they should have. Too bad they let that Quinnipiac (9-3) game slip away. Steal one at Harvard, could be looking at a close to 20 win season.

I see an 8-8 conference record.  That would be the best we have seen in years.  Unfortunately given the new NCAA rules, I believe Beagle and at least Thomas are gone after this year.

Not sure this will work for Flo sports ....never tried it .... but the site works for just about everything else . Have to have an ad blocker. 

There may be a link around game time.  Not sure but worth a shot.  

Link works

Normally I'm an extremely reserve person. But I'm thrilled we beat those cocky guys. 

Was a very even game but the better team won.  Period.  Defense played very well.  Offense did enough.  

Need to play error free ball to have a shot next week.

And the Vandals forum has started. We are young. Blah blah blah. After telling us that we've never played anyone at this level. 

I called it.  Knew that would happen.  

Don't get conservative here.  Give it your best play right here.  

Screen pass here.  

Kick the ball high to the 20-25 yard line.  

Defense.  They have been great.  Need it again.  

Defense again. Playing so so well.  

What a stupid kick.  Stupid.  

Defense needs to do it again.  We will see. 

I DONT UNDERSTAND THE PLAY CALLING !!!!. Someone needs to explain it to me.

Part of the problem is oline hasn’t been able to hold long enough to let deep play’s develop. 

But you can see that and adjust to that.  Just have not.  

Defense comes up big again . They are on the field all time time and playing well.  

Offensive play calling has been odd.  Mostly slants . Nothing really to the outside.  They must have seen something on film they thought they could exploit  . 

I don't see out Defense holding here.  I hold I'm wrong.
