Sadly, the UAlbany Baseball season has come to the end.....however, thank you coaches and players for giving it your all!!!

Yes...I enjoyed the team meeting....got few chuckles from it....my third Zoom call with the coach....my sense from the Zoom calls and the Social Media postings ....Coach Killings is about the HERE and NOW!!! This includes not only winning a conference championship NOW. Further, changing fans attitudes towards the PROGRAM. Changing fans attitudes means for those on-going season ticket holders, digging deeper into their pockets, the fans sitting on sidelines....to start buying tickets coming to the games. The Zoom Calls are crafty way to build a buzz....I am not certain how many of us buzzing

Mueller Named America East Coach of the Year, Baseball Earns Eight Total Awards

Baseball Set to Open the America East Championships vs. NJIT

The issue is money....the ACC schools have money, from alumni, ticket sales, television and a NCAA tradition of winning in any sport in and out of conference then the NCAA Tournament winning tradition .....so if you expect things to change....the America East Conference has to do a lot better....including not losing another conference team for financial reasons.....

I have included the text of an email with the link for TicketMaster: Great Dane Fans- The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL), powered by Ticketmaster will make its return to Albany, NY August 13-15.

Well D.... during a ceremony for athletes signing letters of commitment...there was a young woman from Averill Park discussing her decision to commit to UAlbany and the Cheer Team....may not be a "sport" however; deserve better platform for their service to the UAlbany community

Well, if the Cheer Leading was other than UAlbany, I would have some explaining to do with the Mrs.

UAlbany Cheer Team - Why is there no coverage within UAlbanysports.com for the Cheer Team or Social Media accounts for the Cheer Team as there for all other sports? You may ask why how I even thought of this topic... to make it short....I saw Roger Wyland / WNYT-Ch 13 coverage of the Averill Park High School seniors signing their letters of commitments, which included a young woman signing a letter of commitment for the Cheer Team at UAlbany....sadly I have no idea how the Cheer Team is put together...however I do admire the athletic style and routines....plus they cover the fall and wint

JHU likely regrets going to the BIG10 versus the ACC....the ACC courted JHU looking to lock-up the AQ for NCAA Tournament.

Nothing has changed....no reply to my email and no announcement on AmericaEast.com

The dream schools, in order to reach the final four are: Maryland, Duke, North Carolina, Virginia....other years you could throw in Syracuse, Notre Dame...if the Ivy Conference recovers from their non year of playing perhaps Cornell and Yale......I think John Hopkins is not likely to see the glory days for awhile...the teams of the America East, CAA and Patriot are just onlookers for the moment

Nicely said..... just a couple of other observations .... the Transfer Portal will continue to make things going hard on the mid-level tier conference as good to excellent players with a NCAA approved exemption (ex. medical) early in their career will graduated and play their final year of eligibility for a big time school in the ACC or BIG10....Further, excellent newer players (FR/SO) who are hurt early in a season are more likely to be red-shirted....why...to extend their careers...there were a number of players in the 24 to 25 age range that this past weekend and will play next weekend....a

With the winners of the quarterfinals now headed Hartford.....my only thought: What is the future of the America East Men's Lacrosse? The current dominance of the ACC plus Maryland seems unshakable. Further, the other question are: Can the Ivy Conference recover from very limited play? Can the America East ever compete for the top 100 players going forward? Does UAlbany need to look more to Canada for offense?....The pandemic has definitely effected 2021.....will those effects continue in 2022?
