Great Site.

[ATL_DANE]

Does anyone know who runs this blog? Is this a university operated site? The content is exactly what I want to hear.

One of the goals of the athletic department is for the football program to move to division IA. With the luxury and convenience of having a new football stadium, the football program can attract top players in the nation. The University football program uses University field for home games.

ATL,

 

This is a GREAT site. I don't know who runs it but it's fantastic. I'm looking at the recruit info right now, and even though I've seen much of whats on there (quotes from coach Brown) It's nice to look at a picture and see what these guys look like. I don't know how this person found this info.

[UA_MA_2000]

What a website! Love the pictures!! Did someone from this Board create that?

[madDOG]

wow- very cool!! <bookmarked>

[danes05]

Agreed, real cool site. Hope to hear some stadium news soon. I'm dying to watch a game from a real stadium.

[B9j2j6s]

I liked the section with all the basketball recruits for next year. Kudos to the person who put that together.

[danefan]

I think it's someone who is on this board and if its not somebody should invite them on over.

[Oldtimer]

WOW---UA needs to get that person to design their websites!!! Does anyone feel like me that the the new athletic website isn't a significant improvement over the old one and possibly not as good. Maybe when we begin the Fall season things will change and the new site will begin to show some improvement.

[Dane Pound]

That is a good site. I don't see where it says who put it together. I'll put a link to it at the top of the page.

[Patch]

Oldtimer you're absolutely correct......

The new site still doesn't have stats for Men's and Women's Hoop or Football. It does have Baseball stats and I haven't check all the other sports.

 

We want IA Football and we can't even post stats?????

 

Looks very amateurish when recruits and their parents or contacts are trying to check out the school.

 

This new site (by whoever) presents UA better than any of the official sites.

 

UA has made tremendous strides athletically but we seem to lag behind in many other areas, As Andre Agassi said "Image is everything" - UA hurts its image with such simplistic oversights. It makes us appear to be a very Low DI program rather then the solid Mid Major Athletic Program that we are.

Couldn't have said it better myself. How about getting some player pics up there in the profiles and even worse...how about updating the football bios? They still haven't added last season's stats for most of them. Come on guys get it together. And I said before and I'll say it again. The new site better not have taken money away from the stadium because it certainly leaves a lot to desire. Hopefully the webmasters are on vacation or something.

..and while you're at it, get some better merchandise in the online store. Terrible selection!

I agree with Patch, ever since I started following UA Athletics this has been a problem. The aesthetic appearance of the site has improved but the information forthcoming is like a slow painful drip. It literally looks like someone works VERY PART TIME an hour a week on it. How hard is it to post rosters, or stats? The information dept. IMO is doing a sub par job in keeping up with the success of the program overall. Let's go already!

I agree with all. I am not to fond of the new site...and quite frankly, there are things we are missing. That being said...I think IT IS AN IMPROVEMENT from the old site...but not by a far leap.

 

Now, as for who put that site together (the BLOG)...it is someone close to Albany internally. Has to be.

[UA_MA_2000]

I agree with the previous post that it has to be someone internal to the school. Many of those pictures appear to be taken by a professional and/or someone with intimate access to the University and its events!
