I love Coach Sheffield.

 

Hahahahahahah..........

 

Sheffield thoughtfully provided bulletin board material.

 

"When I walked in here I thought there was kind of a jealousy (of) that entire athletic department," said Sheffield, who was hired in July 2001. "But ... I think head-to-head (in all sports) we've won three times as many as they have over the past five years. I don't know if that's something that most of the community knows.

 

"I think right now the only two sports that they're kind of getting us in are the two basketballs. In men's basketball they've won the battles but they've kind of, to borrow a term, they've lost the war as far as if the goal is to go to the NCAA Tournament.

 

"I'm not sure if there's two coaches in this athletic department that would trade places with anything that's going on over there. That's not to put their athletic department down. I think more of it shows what kind of excitement is going on here."

 

(In head-to-head competition UAlbany is 36-14-2 vs. Siena since January 2003, not including the sports of cross country, track and field and golf, which rarely compete in dual meets.)

 

God I wish Siena still had a football team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UA defeats Siena in a 5-game match! UA came from behind 0-2 to take the next three games. Scores are: 27-30, 23-30, 31-29, 31-29, and 15-8. Way to come from behind! Congratulations, Lady Danes!

Most in the community may not know, but we do!

UA did not win the Commissioner's Cup last year (2007-08), but at least we can say that, once again, we beat the "Crown Jewel of the MAAC."

That was a great quote and I agree with him that it's more about what's happened at Albany more than over there. Credit to Ettkin also for doing a column on the game, especially with NFL, MLB playoffs going on. Great to see that.

I guess that makes it 37-14-2. Anybody want to start a spreadsheet for UAlbany-Siena matchups? I have a couple of nice spreadsheets for the basketball recruiting and the basketball RPI. With a little server space, and a couple of more ideas, we could host a pretty nice database....
