Lots of those in the black dirt area. No relation but went to school with Bob, younger brother of Tony, a great baseball and later softball player.

 

To get this back to UAlbany sports for those already bored to death by this thread, Anthony Sciarra, former UAlbany quarterback, is from Warwick but I doubt he ever stuck his hands in the muck.

Ouch...but true.

For some reason reading this thread is making my eyes water I think Bill Raferty from CBS would love it though.

People are going to kill me for continuing this thread, but I just spent the day in muck country visiting family. Didn't get into the muck but also didn;t mean to disparage Anthony Sciarra. My niece's husband is an assistant coach at Warwick High and he has only nice things to say about the Sciarra family.

 

One of the best parts of the day was listening to the UAlbany/St Francis game. Looks like we played UAlbany football today. Got the running game going and got the win.

All the muck land is not in Mid and Eastern New York. Western New York has the Batavia MuckDogs in the old PONY League--Penn--Ontario--NY which currently visits Joe Bruno Stadium. You now have 3 muckers on this thread--I spent three years crawling up and down those 1/4 mile rows weeding, blocking and topping onions and carrots. One hundred crates of topped carrots resulted in $8 for a $7.95 pair of Converse sneakers which paved my way to 4 years of basketball at UA. We worked 7days a week at 10 hrs per week for $ .65 per hour and were paid $5 per week and the balance was paid at the end of the season. One Summer paid for one year at UA or was it Albany State or SUCE or SUNYA or STC at Albany--I forget--- but I again thank Mr. Snyder for his generous contribution.

. . .  GO DANES!!!---LET'S GET BACK ON TRACK

 

This weekend is turning out quite well for Great Dane teams. Just a recap of what everyone else here has already seen.

 

Volleyball wins one on the road at Maine in straight (looks like hard-fought) sets.

 

Football wins one on the road.

 

Field Hockey takes a game on the road against a nationally-ranked team.

 

Men's soccer ties highly-regarded Binghamton, again on the road.

 

Let's just hope the Lady Danes exact sweet revenge tomorrow afternoon at home (Will home court be a jinx?) against Binghamton.

 

GO DANES!!!

Impressive win against Binghamton in volleyball this afternoon!

 

This victory seals a successful weekend for UAlbany sports. (It was kind of dry there for a while.)
