I noticed the match was not on the weekly schedule and e-mailed the coach. No reply. I have to look and see if its been corrected. I'm going to try to make it to the bubble Friday. The new recruits seem to be very good.

The acco,plishments are great and we appreciate them but how any track meets are at U A? Maybe the problem is the team is always at away meets. It's tough to comment on things you don't really get to see.

I'm driving down

Women's Tennis, which has been one of our weaker teams lately, appears to be on the rise. I was going to check them out yesterday, but I had a scheduling conflict. I might try to get over to the bubble and check them out Friday against Providence. Nice 6-1 victory over Fairfield.

You're welcome.

1 NCAA bid, probably, but you need a decent record to get an NIT bid which is also an important event.

It was great today. Crowds like that also have an affect on the officials, that's why home teams get the best of the calls. The officials are exactly intimidated but the crowds have an affect on them. I always hope this gamescrowd becomes the norm. It hasn't up to now, but there is definitely a change in the air now that the team has improved so dramatically. It's great to be a Great dane. I wore my Top Dog in Town shirt from last year's Siena game, as this year we are!!

Thanks for the candy donation. I also sent my 18th box of girl scout cookies into the stands tonight. The kids seem to get a kick out of it.

Dane96 Will tape both, there's plenty of room. Let me know what to do with it. I won't need it back.

Not to be too obvious or disgusting, but I think you can shorten your pronunciation of Blagoj Janev to BJ

Dane96 do you want both games?

Nor should he,, so soon. Rodger is as Rodger does. I think that's how the saying goes.

Also agree with Sarge and Dane2K3, the plans do call for the Stadium and Racc to connect with both "real' concessions and rest rooms. That could be 5 years away, so in the meantime concessions should be increased. I think there should be concessions on the floor, perhaps where the Media food is now. That's a large enough area for that.

Dane96, have you sent these thoughts to Charlie Voelker. He's quite receptive to any and all suggestions. He'll do whatever he can to promote the product. CVoelker@uamail.albany.edu

You're Welcome. I'm glad to be able to give it out. I need to hit a 50/50 raffle to keep me in candy $!!

I totally agree with Patch. Let's fill up the RAAC on a regular basis first.

At BU there were both posters and brochures to order tickets for the tourney. I haven't seen them at the RAAC

I think Lillis only went to the corner because he was saving it from going out of bounds. It could have been a game ending TO right there, if he hadn't. The play was botched, but that happens.

He went to the corner because he lost the handle. The play did not go off as planned, **it happens. Lu was under the weather, which was unforunate. Great effort, no W. Officiating was not very good and we had the good look in regulation. A lot of positives to take away from an L. I guess we'll just have to beat them in the AE tourney.

Interesting Article. http://www.pressconnects.com/today/news/st...05s145015.shtml

I think you misread the post. There were approx 10 in one end. There weren't 10 total. I see many athlete's from other teams at the games and many more are working at the games. I think Charlie is doing a good job in getting new fans from the community. It's just not realistic to think the fans are going to be made in one season. Winning will bring in the fans and that has just started to happen. Have faith.

Does anyone know anything?

I Like the slogan. It could be used for Danes Basketball (To cover both genders) or for the whole Facilities Plan. There could be Other shirts with Danes Athletics followed by the slogan. I don't know if the slogan is copyrighted. Attorneys, any opinion on that?

I bought a Private Pound Shirt from the last group. You rowdies can raise some bucks for various props, like posters of the Oscar which we can wave at Coppenrath when he gets those questionable calls, or whatever. Some of the Dane Pound posters and Banners were quite clever. It's better than just saying YOU SUCK! Lets show off those 1300+ SAT scores.

I understand our desire to beat Siena in every contest we have with them, I also want us to win, but I don't revel in their demise as some of you do. I would prefer a rivalry like Louisville/ Kentucky, Cincinnatti/Xavier; where we are both good. Iwould like Siena and Albany in the post season. I want them to win all their non AE games.
