joined...not sure what you want the group to develop into, but I will give it a shot

game is on SNY in NYC area...very happy

did realize Grand Canyon was that high

The fact this team is down 13-8 at halftime and playing pretty bad says something I guess.

am I under the impression, just by reading...that the UA athletic department has almost zero control of what goes on in this stadium? It seems so many agencies within the university and even outside have a hand in the pot. Am I reading this completely wrong?

that comment on the x makes me gitty

I think it comes down to 2 possible FBS games... Tennessee vs. Texas A&M and Florida State vs. Miami. The SEC game has the possibility of being a game between 2 ranked teams. FSU vs. Miami is a big time rivalry game and both are ranked in Top 25.

By the way, I got 5-1 odds they start deleting all the negative comments? Any takers? I just made the comment that I really started to think about last night after stepping away from the board for a few hours...does the Admin and AD really think this low of it's own fan base that we would use seats and what not as projectiles, especially when 90% of the seating is on the same time as where the team we root for sits on?

I'm still waiting to hear what security issue took place that they deem portable chairs or seats as can be used for projectiles?

Do season ticket holders get a seat-back automatically? Because in most big name FBS programs, you get season tickets you get a seat-back with it (and yes those are bolted in). I would know my uncle has Tennessee season tickets and gets them.

The restrictions I can live with...yes it's the way of the world...but the fact that the university is/was allowing this stuff for one game and then switch, with very little warning, is garbage. IF YOU WANTED TO IMPLEMENT THIS, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED IN JULY/AUGUST, especially since this is a major change in policy and people must adjust to the policy. EVEN WORSE, YOU TRIED TO IMPLEMENT THIS NEW POLICY WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE ABOUT THE POLICY! COMMUNICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS AN ISSUE 10 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS AT THIS SCHOOL AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW, HAS NOT CHANGED! However, more upsetting is that the university was selling products, knew they sold these products, and now say those products are not allowed. Even worse, you were selling them well within the time frame of when you could have announced a policy change before the season. Also, that people brought said products into the stadium GAME 1 with no incident what so ever and then come up with a lame excuse that it can be a weapon. MY HAT CAN BE A WEAPON IF I THREW IT!

Can't wait to see new SEFCU policy... honestly, if someone from the AD Dept reads this message board, I don't care...YOU ARE ACTING LIKE TOTAL MORONS ON THIS ISSUE. Notice how the loyalists of your program, those who spend hundreds of dollars on this school's athletic program are talking about you. Now think how the casual fan, which you are trying to bring in, may feel.

I love that we have a live mascot. He should be at every game if you ask me. I would love to see that type of tradition start.

B9...I hope they don't take your sons toy trucks. You know you can get pissed or the guy next to you can get pissed and chuck them on the field.

Seat cushions were also provided by the 1844 Donor club last year or the year before... so that's nice. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA...this is getting more FUBAR by the second

I was with B9 at the game Sat and he had a back-up with more baby $iena in it than anything...he walked in 20 seconds after me and they went through his bag with no problem. Yet, that same bag is now illegal to bring in? My goodness. Seriously, can someone explain what event/incident took place that we are reaching these insane security levels?

when did we start having security concerns at athletic events? As UA ' 08 said earlier, have we really reached this level as a fan base? Almost seems like UA Athletics and Admins think UA fans are LA Rams fans? We average 8k for a game and we are worried about the flow of people into the stadium? I walked into Casey the other night in the Fallon Field gate area and there was no line. I don't understand why all of a sudden Casey Field needs TSA level of security.

I actually have it on CD...guy on the AE Board sent it to me years go. I'm not really sure how to move it to another CD. I also have the AE Championship game from the year before. I would love the Athletic Department to do a DVD Set or a Championship Season style DVD recapping etc...I can hold my breath for only so long. I actually love that CD because I was sitting directly behind the UA bench calling the game for WCDB and you can see me the entire time, haha.

FUBAR...it's ok, I'll go there, lol. Since I don't get to go to a lot of games, I would actually love to see any said email that was sent out.

Yea and concession stand looked awful. They need to shore that up.

Eli go to App Store and type in Ualbany gameday...entire app. Stats and apparently live audio. Breaking news and scoring info from what it looks like. They have it set for basketball season also.

By the way...didn't know about the gameday app until they announced it at game today. Very happy about that.

Who was taking kickoffs for UA tonight? He nearly broke loose 3 times. Special Teams, minus the 1 missed field goal was spectacular tonight.

8k+ They have the students and band on opposite side this year, which I think is great. Hated seeing that side empty all the time.

Defense, especially secondary, needs to fix itself. 503 total offense for Holy Cross isn't what I like to see. Enjoyed the game. Went with B9 tonight for our annual game together. We really got a kick out of the purple smoke as the team entered the field. Excellent game day experience by the school. However our moment of the day was Mike Rowley and Dallas Ennema coming over in parking lot asking if we could play a game of corn hole. B9 has a home-made set and they dug the UA one. Really awesome guys. Didn't even talk ball with them. Just totally down to earth gents. Apparently Rowley has never played the game before (not sure if I believe that). B9 and I lost by 4...I told them I usually get upset, but this game all good.
