Neither one of these teams are very good, however; UAlbany is on a two-game winning streak. UAlbany - Siena have not played each other in over 50 years because the previous coach would not play us. Apr 2 (Tue) 3:00 PM at Siena College Loudonville, N.Y. Stream Live Stats Preview History

Notre Dame is No. 1 in the Men’s DI Media Poll for consecutive weeks after handling a Top 5 matchup against Syracuse on Saturday. It sets up another Top 5 ACC matchup when they travel to No. 3 Duke this coming Saturday.

I know the UAlbany coach reached out to an area rowing coach and former women member of the Albany Rowing Club. She was not impressed, and she decided that sticking with her current position was her best career option.

The 3rd Annual March Matchness has ended by raising over $304,000, the goal was $150,000. To see what was raised by individual sports, follow the link below: Athletics March Matchness Giving Page

Just to restate from previous threads, the America East Conference has faced big time competition from the Ivy, B10 and ACC Conference, as well as the transfer portal. However, as yesterday's announcer pointed out, UAlbany is rebuilding by recruiting freshman. He noted the number of sophomores and freshman on the team and they were contributing to the success of our team and did not seem affected by the three one-game losses.

I guess you are not familiar with the saying, which predates my life on this world, perhaps you should do a Wikipedia search or not...LOL

I guess you do not know who Barbara Eden was or watched a certain show on NBC from 1965 to 1970.

Palumb’s Late Goals Lift Men’s Lacrosse Over UMBC

Women's Lacrosse Rallies to Defeat Bryant 14-11

I will take a 14-13 win at UMBC any day. This could have easily gone the other way.

As I said to my wife earlier in the game, these local ESPN+ productions can be bit amateurship. Today's production is a fine example, including the camara work at times.

Back to the Transfer Portal, as I stated elsewhere in the forum, Gerry Mcnamara has been named $iena College's MBB HC and he has a number of slots for players as well as the important positions of associate HC and assistant coaches to fill I will expect at least 3 UAlbany MBB players perhaps 4, currently in the transfer portal to end up at $iena as well as someone previously associated with our MBB as associate HC and another individual formerly associated with UAlbany MBB as an assistant HC. The selling point, you do not like the way you were treated at UAlbany. Well, let us go to Broadview Center next season and show him how basketball is supposed to be played. $iena will be looking to beat us by 20 or more points, embarrassing, Dywane, Mark and Vic. Time will tell.

The times -Union reporting that $iena College has announced the hiring of Syracuse Associate HC Gerry McNamara for the MBB Head Coach position. This is the second time $iena has hired a Syracuse MBB player for their HC position, as I recall Louis Orr stayed one year before leaving for another HC position elsewhere. I am certain Gerry, while my sign a 4- or 5-year deal, is hoping to get out of Loudonville sooner.

I am responding to paragraph 1 and 2. I have expressed to you and to the UAlbany Sports Administration the fact of ending (or taking a sabbatical) from my 50 years plus relationship due what you have outlined and a number of other things which I have expressed in e-mails and conversations with Mark, Vic and others. Based on their responses in the past and their recent lack of response, I would expect nothing to change from them. As to NIL, as in the case of the Transfer Portal, the Jeannie is out of the bottle, no going back. Craziness at its worst: In order for $iena to secure the prime candidate for coach, $iena needs prop up the NIL account balance. $iena is spending money they do not have to pay off the fired coach, paying an incredible salary for the new coach and propping up the NIL account for a promised future that may or may not happen. Are you hurting the UAlbany and UAlbany sports by withholding support. The simple answer is no, because the UAlbany is always trolling the waters for new donors and donations. So, unless you give $10,000 or more yearly, they will not miss you or I.

Not yet, I am surprised Colleen Mullen has not drawn any attention or is she good at keeping things quiet. With the Women's Tournament in town, she could easily meet with another non-participating school's officials without attracting attention.

Roger has been dropping Will's name frequently. Even as WBB HC, I feel that the $iena fans would have issue for his UAlbany past.

Midweek Doubleheader Goes to Softball

BY H. ROSE SCHNEIDER A light-hearted state university mascot competition timed to March Madness has taken a controversial turn after one university admitted students virtually stuffed ballots for their furry favorite. “One or more” students at Stony Brook University cast an excessive number of ballots for their mascot, Wolfie Seawolf, in the 2024 State Stony Brook pulled Wolfie from Mascot Madness. University of New York Mascot Madness competition, the university said in an Instagram story shared to both their own and SUNY’s accounts. “We brought these concerns to SUNY’s attention and offered to withdraw Wolfie from the competition,” the announcement said, going on to say Wolfie would not be competing. “We wish the remaining mascots good luck!” What is Mascot Madness? SUNY’s Mascot Madness has been around since 2013, pitting mascots against each other in a NCAA March Madness-style bracket with five rounds. Votes are cast online on the competition’s webpage during a limited period of time for each round. The third round of votes wrapped up Tuesday afternoon, and the semifinals were set to begin Wednesday at noon. How the online voting subterfuge was accomplished wasn’t clear. The online system only allows people to cast one vote every 12 hours. Who is Wolfie Seawolf? Wolfie — a gray wolf in a red Stony Brook University hat, jersey and shorts — had already won the 2022 and 2023 competitions and even placed fifth in a national competition at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, according to an interview shared on SUNY’s website. He said he was hoping for a “historic three-peat,” and had been rereading Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War.” In the third round, Wolfie was competing against SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Oakie Acorn. Wolfie seemed to make a dig at Oakie when he said he’d “recently grown fond of devouring acorns.” “The students love their mascot,” SUNY ESF spokeswoman Karen Moore said. “They really do rally around Oakie and look forward to Mascot Madness every year.” Moore said the human-sized acorn originated from the campus’ Robin Hood Oak and uses they/them pronouns (oak trees are monecious, having both male and female flowers). A call and email to Stony Brook University hadn’t been immediately returned as of Wednesday afternoon. Who is in the Final Four? Oakie defeated Wolfie in round three with 56 percent of the vote. They’ll next go up against SUNY Brockport’s Ellsworth Eagle and, if they win, either Farmingdale State College’s Ram-Bo or SUNY Delhi’s Blaze the Bronco. Voting in the semifinals started noon Wednesday and ends 3 p.m. Friday. Voting in the finals runs from noon April 2 to 3 p.m. April 4. Oakie, who was created 14 years ago and is also a skateboarding fanatic, was the 2017 champion, beating out SUNY Geneseo’s Victor E. Knight. “Our students are just excited to see how far Oakie can go again,” Moore said. The mascots who may take the most umbrage to Wolfie’s alleged cheating are SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s Walter the Wildcat and Alfred State College’s Big Blue, an ox, who lost to Wolfie in the second and first rounds, respectfully. What about Albany area mascots? Most local SUNY mascots were defeated in the first round of votes. Hudson Valley Community College’s Victor the Viking lost to Walter the Wildcat and University at Albany’s Damien the Great Dane lost to SUNY Cortland’s red dragon Blaze. Empire State University, an online school based in Saratoga Springs, saw its mascot Blue the bluebird sail through Round 1, only to fall in Round 2 to SUNY Brockport

So Siena is looking for a MBB Coach, WBB Coach, an Associate Athletic Director for women sports, a MBB team and WBB team and their MBB Coach search has down the rabbit hole and has come up empty. Is this the reason why Dwyane Killings is still with us, From Roger Wyland's comments: Rodger’s Quick Take Siena doesn’t land Gerry McNamara unless it agrees to pay him more than any other Siena head coach has made and unless there is enough NIL money in the tank so McNamara can reshape a depleted roster. McNamara can recruit good players, but does Siena have enough money to pay them? I like the hire on paper but the longtime Syracuse assistant will have his work cut out for him going into next season. Rodger Wyland is the sports director for News Channel 13. Listen to
