How to get under Tom Brennan's/Jesse Agel's Skin...

 

 

1. Wear YALE BASKETBALL t-shirts. The man effectively got fired from Yale for, shall we say, doing things that the Yale Basketball Coach shouldn't be doing in New Haven. I won't say any more, but do your homework on this one.

 

2. Have a sign that says "SHAWN JAMES FAN CLUB". Jesse Agel made some untimely and erroneous comments about NU Freshman center Shawn James on the Radio. Agel was way off base with his remarks.

 

3. Rag on Agel for not getting the UVM Job Jesse Agel has been Tom Brennan's piss boy for 15 years. Tom Brennan is resigning. You'd think Tom Brennan would have SOME say in who the next coach is. Brennan left Jesse hanging and he ISN'T going to be the next coach at UVM. "Tom Has No Pull" would be a good chant. or a sign that says " Hey Jesse 15 Years Means NOTHING"

 

4. Every time Tom Brennan stands up, just yell "Sit Down Tom". I do it all the time at NU, and I know it bothers him, he also likes to get out of the Coaches Box, so that may be effective as well.

 

5. Jesse Agel is short, so you could always chant "Off Your Knees, Jesse, Off Your Knees" I also like calling him "Mini Me" - but he didn't get the UVM job.

 

6. Tom Brennan buttons and unbuttons his jacket all the time. I'd chant "1" "2" "3" every time he buttons or unbuttons a button on his jacket.

To be honest, you might be right about the Vermont game being BPG three years ago. However, this is best team UAlbany has showcased since the RACC opened against the best opponent that has ever played in the arena to date. Add Josh Duell's homecoming to the mix. Taylor Coppenrath being an NBA prospect. Ask Brian DePasquale -- we might see a few NBA scouts on press row that night. The average college hoops fan in the Capital District has heard about Vermont and its successes over the past couple of years -- those people will want to come. Also with some hype from the athletic department and the media, these ingredients could lead to 3,000 in my opinion. Also, we are hearing the rumors about Vermont pre-sale ticket interest.

I want to personally thank Honorary UA Hoop Fan for his input on the upcoming UVM game (though I hope we arent looking past the BearCats.)

 

Yo....RACC ROWDIES....you have enough to start with to get it going against Dr. Ego and his minions.

 

Remember folks, this clown Brennan tossed our Coach under the bus because he thought he was on his bully pulpit. He did it after BEATING SIENA....(shows how low Siena is that Brennan was more concerned with Brown's Coppenrath comments rather than a big win (at the time) over Siena). The man is an ass and our coach had enough class to call and apologize for otherwise innocuous comments.

 

what did Brennan do? IGNORE BROWN...

 

Guys...protect our coach and ride this loser like a rented mule. Beat him like the red-headed step-child on family vacation.

BTW, when the visitors are shooting foul shots, the brick wall and the flag might do more good up near the TOP of the bleachers, where they'd be in the line of sight of a 6-footer looking UP at a 10-foot basket, rather than on the floor below his vision.

Hahaha, seriously. Those (the brick wall holders) two have only been to that one game and for some reason didn't listen when we told them about half a dozen times. The mistake won't be made again..lol. :P

A couple of other chants for Dr. Ego/the UVM Game.

 

1. "You can't coach"

 

2. "Let Jesse Coach"

 

3. "Donna Martin Graduates" (oops, wrong board)

 

4. "We're Not Worthy" (use only when he is introduced at the beginning of the game)

Ahhh, you think you could jump on the Mass Turnpike and come out for this game?? I'd love to have a little mini version of you on my shoulder when we're playing them. These ideas are pretty freakin funny!

 

I'm sure you love every chance to rag on Mr. Ego. :D

As much as I'd love to venture down the Pike to see UA play UVM, I will have to pass on the gracious offer.

 

My Huskies are playing at home against Maine that night, and I'll be there with bells on rooting the 'Dogs against the Bears.

 

Perhaps you and the gang can venture down the pike to when NU plays Albany at the end of February.

 

Mind you, Will Brown is fair game for me that game. ;);)

I've always wanted to do this, but could never work any connections to get it.. but it would be awesome, since Brennan likes making early morning phone calls, to get his cell phone number and reveal it during the game. (NU Hockey fans are notorious for doing this to opposing hockey players, although most of the time they get the wrong number)

I'll look into that...it'd be pretty funny. I'm sure that'd be pretty difficult to find it though. Good thing you gave me a week...lol.

 

In addition, I just found out today (I don't know how this was missed) that my boss is cousins with UVM's Duell. His family is turning out at least 8 people for the game to see him. This from a family who doesn't really go to any games at all. I have a feeling this is a gonna be a pretty high UVM-supporting turn-out.
