NO...UT STUDENTS HAVE TO PAY TO GET INTO EVENTS...BUT BUY JOINING THE GROUP, YOU GET A DISCOUNT AND A FIRST CHANCE AT THEM.

The fact is, i think the Athletic Department needs to be promoting student involvment also. Look at Tennessee for example (favorite of mine), their athletic department supports the "Orange Nation", a student group that if you join you get a t-shirt, you get discount for tickets, a section put aside for them etc...the fact is the athletic department helps run it. I think because of the size of our department in comparison to others, you need some help to organize the students, and the athletic department or the SA should be doing it as a joint venture

if i gave you my putfile account info, could you or you dad put it on that so myself and others can save it to our computers?

side notes - CCS should be mid-major #1 we should have gotten a little more votes, but if you beat CCS, i think the pollsters cant ignore you any longer. At this point, to see our names on the list, you gotta be happy. Winner next week to me goes/stays in the top 25, gets the mid-major #1 ranking, and the favorite to win the NEC title WHEN THE HECK WAS THE LAST TIME A FOOTBALL GAME WAS WORTH THAT MUCH 4 GAMES IN...HELL, LET ALONE AT ALL?

Yes...pretty much the same as the one earlier in the summer, but more formal. None of the big political figures were there (happy) as it was more of a UAlbany type of thing. Chancellor of Vanderbilt, President of Utah St and professor he worked with at Florida and NC State were there. Interesting side story that came up - when Hall was named President of Utah St, he went on a campaign to milk a cow in all 29 counties of Utah (he was succesful) Was very good. His wife did not speak.

so pretty much...BEAT THE BLUE DEVILS, YOU CRACK THE TOP 25 AND PROBABLY #2 IN THE MID-MAJOR. SATURDAY WILL BE THE BIGGEST CONFERENCE GAME EVER!

wow...hope Kojo ends up being ok..not jsut him but all of them

Ok, I am going to be writing an something for the wCDB Sports Blog and maybe for the ASP to get published, so I am writing a thing on the Top 5 Football Victories in the Programs History. Here is the list I have come up with with a quick explanation of why: 1) at Delaware - 9/16/06 - do we even have to explain? Full scholarship vs. non-scholarship against a a National Championship team three years ago in their house in front of the largest attendence to see a UA football game. 2) at Lehigh - 9/2/06 - UAlbany finally knocks off the Patriot League after trying for years. Victory over a full-scholarship program. 3) vs Duquesne - 11/23/02 - UAlbany's first victory over a top 25 I-AA program. Home field victory of the ECAC Classic/ 4) vs Monmouth - 11/16/02 - UAlbany knocks off Monmouth to win their first ever NEC Conference title and first title since joining Division I football. T5) at CCS - 9/4/99 - first victory for Great Danes in D-I-AA Football. vs Stony Brook - 9/22/73 - first victory as a varsity program. honorable mention: vs. Plymouth State (11/23/85) - Win the Division III North Championship at. American International (11/22/97) - winning EFC Championship and capping 11-1 season. vs American International (11/21/98) - winning EFC Championship capping a 10-1 season and its final victory at D II Football before jumping to Division I-AA. TIME TO DEBATE...THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS?

DP, the Colin Simmons picture of him running with three Delaware Players is a Classic one. That picture alone explains and shows the how important and big the night and the victory was.

was that in the ECAC Classic?

next weekend is a long weekend (jewish holiday) which means a good portion of students will be going home (myself included, which im now pissed about) Hopefully a good amount of students can still make it.

i am drawing a blank. Who is the other ranked team we beat in football?

biggest victory in ford and ualbany history

i would like some feedback on our broadcast...how did it sound etc...?

all three matches on wcdb...if you cant make it, listen in

pregame starts at 5:45pm

i think he is Joe Patterno status when it comes to him coaching... he is here, no matter what record, for as long as he wants to be

WCDB has their volleyball schedule up for the Great Danes for this year. 7 matches in all, not including the America East Tournament. Pretty good schedule if you ask me. It is on their website under sports.

Went to my first ever field hockey game tonight. Must say it is something new, but very interesting. Learning the rules as it went along. Colgate looked terrible and the Danes looked solid. I cant compare a Top 25 team to them, but they looked like one tonight if i had to guess. may have to catch a few more this year.

New poll on the WCDB website. Pretty straight foward, check it out.

would you not love to see Gary Jones come back and be the running back coach...o man

who or where did he post this?

Few reports from other papers around the country...the Columbus dispatch had a tidbit very interesting on Hall. I put three articles from the Deseret Morning News, cause it has a lot on insite on what he did of Utah State when he was there: Columbus Dispact Article Deseret Morning News #1 Deseret Morning News #2 Salt Lake Tribune Deseret Morning News #3 Gainsville Sun

Both the UAlbany Home Page and the UAlbany Athletics websites have stuff up already.
