Wednesday - Siena

[uofalbany]

Siena fan's letter pays off; Siena's stick men on move on the front page of today's T-U sports. You'd think Wilkin would have soft-pedaled the story after they scored only three goals in a four-overtime loss.

 

Siena may have been ahead of Albany in some RPI/Power type ranking, but not any more, and their strength of schedule is now 54 compared to Albany's 12 (out of 57 teams).

 

It makes me ill to see coverage of their Junior Varsity team... What a waste of ink.

Too bad there wasn't another City of Albany Newspaper to counter their stupidity.

 

Alls I know is that we could very well be ranked in the top 10 this very moment. Every game was literally almost won. We should at least be ranked in the top 20, regardless of the loses.

 

I believe the first string of games were a feeling out period for the guys and the new team. I feel very good about the rest of the season.

I see no Siena...but I see another MAAC team receiving votes

 

 

I wouldn't expect to find a team that is 0-2 in the weakest conference in America in the rankings.

Actually 2 MAAC teams

I'm expecting a game tonight. They have wins over a pretty good Harvard team (who has beaten UMass and Stony Brook) and Loyola.

 

Another story in today's paper Danes look to keep streak alive at home - TU

Question:

 

I'm not sure whether I'll be able to make the LAX game tonight (having been up until the Wii hours of the morning), so my question is whether LAX games are available through the Dane Zone or some other form of media (i.e., radio if nothing else)?

[uofalbany]

As far as I know, there isn't any coverage, video audio or webcasting of any kind.

 

I don't believe Live Stats is operating either.

Now that we Big Purple Fans have made an issue of comparable rankings, UA had better win this game.

Hahaha. I was thinking the exact same thing. God what a firestorm this board will become if it comes out the other way. Any given......Wednesday?????

We better win. It is our weakest OOC game.

[UAalum72]

At least the weather will be the same as our last two games, we should be used to it

I just got back from tonights 13-6 win

At the pace Siena played over the first 3 quarters they will never break 10 goals.

But if they play a real lacrosse pace they probably give up 20 to 25 against UA.

[purplehaze]

A solid 13-6 win over a decent Siena team that has wins over Harvard and Loyola. looks like the corner has been turned.
