Syracuse Orange Men's Basketball played today in what I believe was an unexpected close game....where will UAlbany be on this spectrum... winning unexpected games or losing games we expected the Great Danes to win... The link to the Syracuse game is below: https://cuse.com/news/2020/11/27/mens-basketball-orange-outlast-bulldogs-85-84.aspx Thoughts, feelings and opinions....

No surprise .... I have heard that Syracuse and Siena Men's first game, possible first two or three are in doubt. The UAlbany announcement link is below: https://ualbanysports.com/news/2020/11/19/mens-basketball-announces-2020-21-schedule-revisions.aspx

I am sharing an e mail received yesterday concerning a fundraiser for the UAlbany Women's Basketball: Good Afternoon, We hope this email finds you and your family safe and healthy. The Great Dane Athletic Club cordially invites you to participate in a Virtual Wine Tasting Fundraiser to benefit the UAlbany Women’s Basketball Team on Thursday, December 10th at 7:30 PM. Jim Curry, Addy’s Fine Wine & Spirits Sommelier, will host a virtual live tasting of 3 delicious wines from the comfort of your home before finishing the evening with some basketball and wine trivia

You can now add Siena Saints Women's program to the list...of schools suspending activities due to a member of the team and/or staff testing positive....anyone looking for 25 lb turkey....a coach is no longer hosting her team on Thanksgiving....

I have spoken to 4 other season ticket holders who felt that under no circumstances that they would attend a game on campus until 2021...common reason to protect the health of other family members...follow by themselves...yes this is hard...I can carry on without the on-campus experience under the current situation around the Capital District...I could not live with myself if I bought Covid-19 from attending a game and infected my spouse...

Yes, ESPN is a good thing

Other D1 schools (Syracuse, Siena) are in similar position.

Not everybody is part of Red Sox Nation...further very little else to post about...at least the reaction was "more" friendly then when I posted about Jerrad Knots birthday....avoided mentioning Jon Iata birthday a few days back..

Like many of you, I received an e-mail letter from Mark Benson concerning "Fans in the Stands"... to those who did not receive the e-mail the body of the message is below: I hope this email finds you safe and healthy. Thank you for supporting Great Dane Athletics as a basketball season ticket holder last season. While this year has obviously presented many challenges and uncertainty, we are excited for our basketball programs to compete for America East Championships this season. Due to the current New York State guidelines for live indoor events, we are not allowed
