What would you consider a succesful season?

[Dane Pound]

Short of winning a national championship (I'm kidding) just curious what everyone would have to happen this year to consider it a success. In order of importance here's mine:

 

1. Beat Siena

2. Have the first winning season at the DI level

3. Beat Boston U.

4. Win the Conference Championship

5. Sell-out the RACC for the BPG

Not wanting to be hypocritical, my list begins and ends with victory on December 3.

[UA66]

1. Finishing no worse than 2nd in regular season AE Conference.

2. Winning AE Conference Championship

3. Beating Loudonville High

4. 20 win season

5. No worse than split against any conference team

[KingDane]

1. Embarrassi Siena

2. Win the Conference Tournament - An NCAA Tournament Appearance

3. Advance to the final game in the upcoming Florida tournament

4. Gain exposure and experience from the two California games

I second everyone's list. I add:

 

1) Will Brown getting a lucrative and LONG extension.

 

2) Levi Levine and his whole class recognized by the fans, University, and local media, for what they have done to build the foundation for what looks like a prosperous next few years for UA.

 

3) Albany playing Maryland in a first round game...and winning....SO I CAN FINALLY TELL MY SISTER TO "SHUT THE F#$& up, ALBANY IS A REAL DI TEAM." (Jaime went to Maryland).

 

4) Averaging 2800 fans a game. 3000 would be gravy. 4000....we have arrived.

 

5) Not to be cheesy, but for the players to look back on the year and say to themeselves "We left it all out on the floor each and every night." There is no greater feeling, as a player or to witness of players as a fan. If these kids do that....Senior night and the last home game will be the most emotional day the RACC has seen...even more emotional than the NYU loss in the 93 tourney.

Excellent points Dane 96.

I'm a little easier to please so

 

1. Beat Siena. Great season, dominate. Last year early in the second half even though the game was within 8-10 I could just see that Albany was the better team and would not lose.

2. Winning season, conference and overall. For a great season 20 wins.

3. Beat Binghampton both games (co-worker a Binghampton grad, yes we'll hire anybody).

4. Make the finals of the conference tournament. Of course once we do that I'll demand a win.

5. Increase average attendance by 20%. 15% of it with students.

6. I make it to every home game. Great season, I make it to the AE tournament.

7. Sutters wing and beer prices don't increase. Great season, I am the one millionth customer at Sutters and win free burgers, wings, and beer for life.
