With the decision to allow Greg Gattuso to coach the final year, that decision has caused most of us to express disgust about allowing him to finish the last year of his contract, possibly leading to a catastrophic results.  However, this begs the question: Is there a future for D1 Football at UAlbany, whether in the NEC, as some have suggested or remain in the CAA.

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Speak for yourself..

If you truly want adventure, nothing beats Kauai.  However, Maui is the perfect mix.  Paia is a cool little down with some solid bars, sadly got a little touristy due to some celebrity owned places...but it's very chill and cool.  The Hana Highway is a serious adventure for a day, but gorgeous with falls you can go into and black beaches.  The park past Hana has an incredible bamboo forest.  West Maui mountain is excellent and has some of the best banana bread (roadside stand you will ever consume).  Sunrise at Haleakala is everything it's cracked up to be, and worth the tired morning.  Kihei is very chill and, while touristy, Lahaina is worth a walk through, especially at night.  If snorkeling is your thing, you will love the fact that one of the best shops is named....BOB's.  They are great because they support anti-aquarium hunting (something that is a huge problem in Hawaii).   If you are really into snorkeling, and honestly...families were doing it even though you are in "open ocean", a short boat ride trip to Molokini crater is outstanding.  If you dive, they take you on the other side of the crater...but that was out of my league as it is straight open water diving.

Honestly, Maui is truly a great, mixed bag island...definitely not as "city" like as Honolulu can be.   

The road to Hann is incredible - tough drive for me because I have an issue with heights - 2' wall along a several 1000 foot drop to the ocean, great black sand beach once you get there - nice area for some wine and cheese lunch.  Deep sea fishing.  Drive up Haleakala was worth it.   Great sunset dinning at restaurants on the sea.

It was a dump.  I played a game on it (ultimate frisbee).  Totally retrofitted and stands added, all for this season.  They basically gutted it for this season. 

That said, anyone wanting to go to Hawaii, please let me know. I can help you plan a trip; very close with locals and have done many trips.  You most certainly should consider going at least a week, 10 days if you can manage it...and definitely see at least two islands.  I recommend Oahu / Maui or for the truly adventurous, Oahu / Kauai. 

I've guided many people on wonderful trips there.  

Been to Maui - love the island

The main issue I have is the KO return and Punt return teams.  Every week weak play has affected the games.  Gave them field position and our offense has their back against the wall!  Even when we then stop other team's offense they have field position.  Field position wins and loses games all the time.  We have been giving it up all year!!!!!  That and stupid 15 yard penalties [or any penalties] - many in key situations.  That puts outrageous pressure on our defense - they are on the field a LOT; AND our offense who gets the ball inside out 20 a lot.

Undercuffler still has not learned to checkoff to the second receiver.........

NICE D!!

Their Oline can actually block. 

Yep. Not much else to say.  

Poor tacking...

THAT was a home call by the announcers. Entire series was....

Better Def again.

This wasn't a kickoff, just an off-tackle run

You are correct.  My bad..............  I turned away from the computer screen for a few seconds, well actually about 30 seconds. Got a phone call.....

GOTTA make tackles. Had him in the backfield!

Chop block vs the defense? can someone explain?

Can't never seen that call before.

What the hell. Live stats have NDS up 21-7 with a touchdown in the 3rd with 13 second gone?????????????????

On the the TV angle it looked like he dropped it BEFORE the kid hit him, Bounced off his knee.  BUT the angle was from the left and behind NOT on the goal line.

Is it me; or do these announcers sound like they belong in DIII. Expected something more professional from a perennial power??

They are not as 'home' as in many games.  Been giving Verse props, Oedekoven and Undercuffler.  I actually thought they did a good job, might just be me....  Alexander ran the KO back and then came in and scored on that long [65+ yard] pass and run. He is FAST!

I guess if you are gonna try it that is the time.  I would NOT have called a fake there though.  Need the points coach!!!

WOW!  Alexander - the freshman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN'T have turnovers against great teams......... nothing else to say.  This team is just not better..........

That was a floater.  WIDE OPEN!!!

Def. playing pretty well.

Good Def. again..

Pass was in his hands....................  I guess young guys [he's a freshman] will drop some.  Good punt...  Come on Defense.
