Defence in the 2nd half is atrocious.... easy shot by easy shot. Just terrible. The thing I don't like most about that is the fact .. ITS EFFORT.

That's correct . About 5 mins b4 or so

It's on Watch Espn . Use the espn app. It's on there .

On the America east board there is talk about stony brook trying to move up in conference (football and otherwise ). I dont have an account over there but I just dont understand. WE HAVE THE MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER ATHLETIC PROGRAM. See the commissioner cup over the last decade. The reason siena has not moved to the Atlantic 10 is not basketball. Its because they absolutely suck in almost every sport. We have absolutely outgrown the America East. Our atheltic program as a whole is outstanding and it baffles my mind why we are not exploiting this more. Between us and stony brook it's really not that close. WE SHOULD BE THE ONES MOVING WAY UP IN CONFERENCE. It's amazing it is not brought up more. That's the one question I would love to ask Benson if I could and get an honest answer.

Not trying to start anything. I was at the game and he did appear to be offsides. But I was not right over the ball. I was slightly to the right. Never the less, we lost again. It was a big play but it was only one play. 0-6 in the CAA and nothing anyone can say will change that.

horseshoes and hand grenades....

Now now now . I think your over reacting . The team still had a couple of games left . Give them some time . Lol

Saw this tweet today : First game is still a bit away here for UAlbany, but Will Brown said he'd start these 4 guys if season started today: Clark, Campbell, Lulka, Hank Did not think Hank would play a ton this year but it's good to see he is playing well . Also if it were me I would start a 3rd freshman. Go really young. Get experience and be great in a couple of years.

I have stayed largely out of the major complaint about football but my two cents are this : I donated money to a university for atheltics. Because of that I feel that as long as I dont threaten harm to a coach I can say reasonably whatever I want. The coach flat out sucks. The team and worse then I was 5 years ago. That's the major problem. And a flat out fact. I believe message boards are made for these types of discussions. Once the season is over and only til it's over I'll call out certain people on this board who told me I was wrong. (Week 1 when I said the team had major issues) Bottom line people should be able to say what they want regarding the atheltic programs because they support the program.

At this event and it's nice. I'm not trying to be mean but that girl announcer is back. She is annoying and terrible. Just tough to listen to.

Found this on Twitter: Buffalo handled Albany easily in a closed scrimmage. Bulls will be one of the top mid-majors in country this year. Freshman Jeenathan Williams had 19 for Buffalo. Nick Perkins has 29 for UB, Jeremy Harris had 17. Ahmad Clark 22 for Albany. Not a great result but you got to figure this team will be a work in progress

I checked the albany atheltics twitter page . It says sunday at 3:30 .

When a player leaves a school I have to figure less than a 50-50 chance they return . Just speaking generally here but when I heard he was leaving to be honest I wasn't sure he was coming back.

My starting lineup based on a 2 hour practice (and I know this will be wrong) would be Clark (slightly over Brooks ) do to being familiar with the program. Which could change any second. Healy Miller De Sousa Lulka We would be playing 6'1, 6'1, 6'3, 6'6 and 6'8. That's fine again most teams. I know that Campbell will start but I liked these others more. I'm sure we will find out soon .

Was at the practice, and I know some of you wanted an update, so I will give me honest opinion. Thought the team played well. Definitely improved as practice went on. Brown is coaching hard and really trying to teach this team. Rizzuto- did not practice, was in sweats. De Sousa- played well. Needs to get stronger and make better decisions but overall I was impressed. Clark- Much improved. Much more in control. Really looked good and looks like will take a big step forward. Miller- did not stand out. Made a couple of nice defensive plays and always was in the right postion . Brooks- looked good offensively. Defense needs to improve but he is working hard. Hanks- Raw , but I think showed promise. Working hard to improve. Healy- LOVED what I saw out of him . The redshirt year did wonders for his body. Hit several 3's . Worked in control with and without the ball. Campbell- well he was campbell. Nothing more or less. U guys decide on that. Lulka- again LOVED his play. Under control. Hit a couple of 3's. Looking great. Jerotic - looked a little behind but could develop into a nice player. French - hit a couple of open shots. Had a couple of nice post moved that did not go in but ultimately can def help the team. Lauderdale- was impressed. But seemed out of gas a couple of times. Out of control a little as well at times, but overall looked like a men among boys. Fruscio- played hard as always. Vocal.

godanesgo99, Let me give you two examples why its 100000000 percent number 2. There has been a lot of complaining on this board and I believe most is very warranted. Why ? Because its coaching 101 that he is messing up. Two weeks ago he trys to ice a terrible kicker who ends up missing the kid right before halftime. However because our great coach called timeout right before he gets another chance and hits it. YOU DONT GIVE A CRAPPY KICKER TWO CHANCES AT A FIELD GOAL. And that cost us the game in terms of points on the board. Second thing was his clock management in the richmond game at the end of the first half. THE USE OF HIS TIME OUT WAS TERRIBLE, and therefore cost us points and completely changed the game. I could give more examples but what's the use. IMO this is why he needs to be FIRED now. The man cant coach period.

Will Brown said Philip Flory (foot) needs surgery. Set for next week. Out until mid-to-late December. Could redshirt, could play. Kid has had sorts of issues. I say redshirt him and get him right.

Thanks . Did I miss something or did they fail to put that anywhere in the email??

Does anyone know what time the open practice is on the 14th? Thanks

I hate being negative but Click and Eli are right. This team is terrible. I said game 1 this team will not win 5 games and was ripped. They are terrible and regressing. I really do like HOFs insight and positively but if even he has to see the severe dysfunction with this team. Period .

Soooooo coach tries to ice a kicker that's 1-3 on the season. Then gives him an extra kick. Wow . Just wow.

Was talking to a friend of mind at work (Siena Alumni) who told me that Siena is a .500 team over the last 25 years. If that's true that atrocious, and makes their fanbase even more delusional than I ever imagined ( I did not think that was even possible). I looked at our stats and what really jumped out at me was the fact that we are 134-67 over the last 6 years. That's outstanding. I know I do not give Coach Brown enough credit but the above record is very good. I really do believe that we are on the upward trajectory. Now to do believe that we need to have a more challenging non conference schedule and I hope we do over time. Bottom line is that i hope we continue to build a more and more successful program.

I truly dont hate it. To me it's either go ALL IN with atheltics or not . This half ass stuff is bs. I have no idea what happens behind the scenes but all we heard was that Benson was a fundraising guru. Last check we were still behind Siena. I for one are not seeing the monetary growth needed.

Anyone have any idea who is on their official visit today? Saw brown tweet about it . So I was just wondering .
