How was the attendance? Many students there?

It's good ANY time you beat Boston University.

Speaking of DIII, remember how UA struggled against a couple of those teams at the beginning of last season?

More than doubled the opponents' output in the second half. Maybe this team won't lose as much steam as in previous years. Shot slightly over 70% in the second half.

Why not? They would have better seats at Broadview.

Maybe after we host them next year, we should drop them.

They have currently six pages of comments on this game. The first three pages were whines about how they got to host this year's game; some said because Broadview wasn't ready for the game this year that we should forfeit the game this year. They're not satisfied that they have been able to host the game the last three years. Incredible delusion. I must admit the last three pages showed a lot more humility.

Waiting for the collapse at the end. Please, make me be wrong!

Looks like the old Danes have returned. Get a lead in the first half, and then let the opponent come roaring back in the second.

Perspective from the opponent: https://www.app.com/story/sports/college/monmouth-university/2023/11/18/college-football-today-monmouth-vs-albany-caa-ncaa-fcs/71559338007/

Yes, I'm happy that UA got the win, but I'm still pessimistic about the season. In Division I times UA has beat Columbia 8 out of 8 times. They're supposed to be an easy win. The fact that the margin of victory was only 3 points is telling. Yes, I know it was a road game. I hope I'm wrong about the season.

Last season very often UA would lose the game after building a good lead in the first half. Glad to see they pulled it out at the end tonight.

I won't even put game nights into my calendar.

With the loss in the AE Championship, does that mean that the season is over?

I agree on the most important priorities. What would be involved in upgrading the baseball facilities?

Thanks for that information. How much of the needed funding can come from the State?

I don't remember seeing the renditions of Phase 3. If they occur, it will be an awesome entrance to the complex. Anyone have any idea as to when the phase will be implemented? Or even what needs to occur before it gets started?

The ticket prices sound very fair to me. I like the discount options. Hopefully, ticket prices will rise next year because (1) the team did better than expected this year and (2) the demand for the tickets has risen.

Does the addition of this women's sport help correct the lack of compliance with the NCAA regarding the college's support for men's and women's sports? I haven't seen any information regarding this topic in a long time.

I was on campus yesterday and had a chance to look at the two renovations. I saw the floor in SEFCU appears to have pads covering the area. Also observed that the upper deck has protrusions from at least two corners taking space in the corners. The bowl atmosphere being created now makes the new arena much cooler and more legitimate for a Division I level facility. University Gym looks completely gutted. From the article above I hadn't known that the old seating in SEFCU had been deemed unsafe. You know the old system was really dated when you couldn't get replacement parts. I'm glad that the powers that be realized the need to rejuvenate the old facility. When entering the campus from Collins Circle I saw some sign that referred to an Aquatics Center. Since the pool in the University Gym center appears to have been filled in, where is this new center located on campus? Regarding another aspect of my campus tour, I like the more mature atmosphere that the campus displays. The trees are more numerous and are much larger than when I attended.

It's always great to beat Vermont in anything. Doing it there is even better.

It's time to change the leadership. Today's loss was embarrassing. I don't follow any games live anymore and just check the final bad news. Even in our first years of Division I Albany was more competitive. Jamar must be rolling over in his whatever . . .

That answers the eternal question as to whether Floridians decorate for Christmas.

FAU team members can go holiday shopping after the game without palms. It will be a cultural experience for them.

And with football's loss yesterday, the fall season of sports is officially over. Field hockey was very good, but a lot of the other activity was disappointing.
