im very impressed with this non conference sched. Id like to see which Big East team(s) they have lined up. I dont think we will be seing to many Lehigh or LI games this year

i saw an episode with him in it earlier. Yeah i would like to see the fellow UAlbany grad there

Pres Hall has written books upon books on the Supreme Court. Thats the class he is teaching next semester as well. The man is a genious when it comes to Supreme Court History.

Today, 6/26, President Hall was on CNN Live talking about the end of this current term for the Supreme Court. He was talking about what the court will do and the future of the court. Im a senior in American History and it kinda was cool seeing him on tv. This guy is smart when it comes to Supreme Court History. He's offering a class this semester, i know Brian is taking it. I may take it as well.

But thats the little tid bit for today

i think they are gonna give it to Boston as the team that makes it, which is understandable, being that they were up there all last year. Got to give respect where it is due. I think this guy feels its a close 2nd place to whoever wins it, BUT, he feels if they play strong enough in March, which we had trouble with near the end of the season, this team can easily win the conference.

Very good review and a fair one. I still think we are gonna win this thing and shock the world.

wasnt Filen originally one of the top in house, if not #1 or #2 to fill Brennans spot after this year?

first ever All-American recognition in UAlbany Athleteics...DP, this needs to go down under Danes History

o i know of the LI Rough Riders...ive been to plenty of those games...but none of those teams are affiliated with the MLS. They are independent leagues.

no minors in MLS...i believe he is now the 3rd string goaltender. Im not positive, but i think its like practice squad kinda deal, where he will practice with the team. But hes the 3rd goaltender now on the team. I dont know how MLS does there roster stuff.

BOUNA COUNDOUL SIGNS DEVELOPMENTAL CONTRACT WITH MLS' COLORADO RAPIDS

Denver, Colo. – Former University at Albany goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul has signed a developmental contract with Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids. Coundoul, who recently earned his undergraduate degree in information science with a minor in French, has reported to the team and replaces Michael Cardenas on the roster.

"He is a tremendous story that can inspire all young goalkeepers," UAlbany coach Johan Aarnio commented. "As a graduating senior and the first player to reach the MLS ranks from our program, Bouna will develop well as a professional. His demeanor with others and professionalism make him a true role model for other student-athletes to emulate."

Coundoul, the 2004 America East Conference Goalkeeper of the Year, ranked third among the NCAA Division I leaders in goals against average at 0.54 per game. He posted a .901 save percentage with 11 shutouts as a senior. Coundoul led UAlbany to a 12-4-2 record, the program’s highest win total since 1992, and a share of the America East regular-season title.

A native of Dakar, Senegal, Coundoul was named first-team NSCAA/adidas All-New York Region in his final season. He also was chosen to the All-America East Conference team for the third consecutive year, including a pair of first-team selections.

During his UAlbany career, Coundoul recorded a 0.93 goals against average and 17 shutouts, plus made 271 saves. He once posted a shutout streak that lasted 426 minutes over six matches.

All the Fall Sports have sched's up on th Athletic website.

if Morin couldnt come in, then thats how it was. Halloran was a soilder all year. Louisville just finaly got her. Give them credit. What i hope these last two games have done however is to get UA recognized, and maybe have them play 4-5 REALLY GOOD TEAMS next year on the sched. Frankly, with the record they compiled this year, if they finished with 3-4 more loses i wouldnt be upset. It would prep them for bigger things, and a victory if they face the NCAA's again.

Realize this, there were only 3 seniors on this team this year...3...THIS TEAM MAYBE UNSTOPPABLE NEXT YEAR IF THINGS FALLS INTO PLACE.

game over...louisville 3 run 7th...UA loses 5-4...back to back HR to finish...hard way to go down.

Baseball lost 2 games today...all but eliminated from AE Tournament contention

ive been home for the past few days, so i havent beenable to see the news from around albany...yea im not even talking about a pole that big...a small pole if anything, just something for the fans and players to see.

Yea to me that Field Hockey looks more near 1k then 500. I was pretty close on the lacrosse field.

they never mentioned how many people each field can take...if i had to guess, 2k for the mens, and maybe 1k for the field hockey?

exactly like that...doesnt even need to be attached to the American Flag pole...seriously, how hard is it to put an extra flag pole into the ground? Plus, i have a feeling, the Athletic Dept would pay for the banners to show off its accomplishments.

when they announce their frosh? Im guessing soon also?

statefan...im just wondering have you listened to our broadcast on WCDB this year?

John Fallon Field will be its new name. $250,000 stadium known as Phase 1. Will be done by September 1st of this year. Recommend you look at the photos, great pic of President Hall in bulldozer ripping grass up with a UAlbany Helmet on.
