Final attendance of 6,044 gives an official average of 6874 for the year. Actual attendance is closer to 7600 average. Imagine if we were winning.

Might be the worst tackling team I've ever seen. Ford said we missed 25 tackles last week. His words were "unheard of" to miss that many tackles in one game.

Anyone get the Danezone feed up yet?

FYI - if you're going to the game today, stay until the end regardless of score. There will be a ceremony for Coach Ford.

The problem is UAlbany isn't like UMass or UM. UNY would be like UMass. No one says UMass-Amherst. When you say UMass you know what UMass you're talking about. We're more like UMass-Dartmouth. Awesome. And Miami is a bird of a different color as a private school.

Actual attendance is probably closer to averaging 8,000. It would be awesome to average 7,000 or more for he season.

Best we've played all year. If we play like this the next two weeks we'll get a win. Very surprising to see the dropped balls by Cole King. Usually a sure handed receiver. Really hurt us tonight.

A bolt came loose during the Section II Super Bowl last night. Easy fix, but the university's code enforcement team wouldn't pass it in time and wouldn't allow anyone to sit on any of the bleachers. It was a good game for it to happen though. They'll have it fixed for next week.

The only guys I have seen play are Senn and Ngachie right?

Careful with that. We need some quick talent, but we don't need to turn into Transfer U. I'd rather have JUCOs. But we need to increase our talent level in the upper class ranks.

I suspect most of the assistants interviewed during their Bye weeks.......

Since we go way back...gonna call you out on this one. Deep Breath. This isn't you. You are off the rails on this one. There is NO WAY we could expect this season to shape up like it would but we also did not know how much of a seat Ford would be taking to let the Assts'. "interview". Now, if McCarthy or Christ are named HC...I may be with you... That's exactly where Ruler is going I suspect...... This season has been pitiful beyond any of our expectations. Biggest decision in UAlbany athletics history (possibly second to the decision to go DI) is coming up over the course of the next three weeks.

http://www.ualbanysports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=209300707&DB_OEM_ID=15800 Maine is good. Very good. This isn't the same Maine team as last year. They have solid play all the way around. Their only loss is a to played game against Northwestern. Stony Brook played them tough last week so there's always a chance. I'm hoping our guys step up this weekend. At some point perhaps we'll see Smith under center?

No Towson either. http://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?146224-Towson-University-2014-Football-Schedule

Its all about priorities. The State of NY does not hold college football a priority. Texas does. Knowing a lot of family and friends that have attended high school in Texas, a lot of them would say that they would take our education system over a $70m stadium. Again, all about priorities. Also, don't forget that stadiums in Texas are regional. 7 schools share this one.

We don't get Elon http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/11/05/elon-set-for-2014-caa-football-debut/

Homecoming should be used for a less attractive opponent, as D96 says. You'll get the crowd no matter who the opponent is. Plus, the CAA has designate the last weekend of the season as the rivalry weekend.

I hope we get Villanova and William and Mary next year in the rotation. You can also bank on Stony Brook as the last weekend of the season at home.

Haven't started interviewing does not mean they haven't started analyzing those interested. There will be a lot of vetting of potential candidates before the interview start.

I would expect the job opening to go up soon. Heavy interviews in very early December and a hire by the end of the year. That assumes someone isn't already lined up, like KC Keeler could be. www.footballscoop.com may be our best source of info.

I think twitter changed their coding which doesn't allow you to embed feeds like you used to be able to.

http://www.richmondspiders.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=26800&ATCLID=209293601 This is he best chance we have for a win the rest of this year. Their QB can slog the rock and they've lost a lot of close games. I do think we have a shot if we play we'll me get some turnovers. Hopefully the bye week helped.

There's a nice wide angle in the Facebook set.

Looked like just an excuse to rationalize Siena spending money. I find it hard to rationalize $20m for an upgraded practice facility when we spent about than that on an 8,500 state of the art seat stadium. But, hey - more power to them if they can get it done.
