Crosstown Rivalry Thread: UAlbany vs siena

[UA'08]

At this point, why do we bother focusing on them in any sport other than basketball. Let's aim our rivalries higher with programs who are an actual challenge. Arguing about Albany vs. Siena is lowering the level of discourse for our emerging sports programs.

 

In essence, let's be like Barry Sanders after we score a touchdown. Act like we've been there before and we'll be there again and go back to the huddle for the next play.

It's because both teams play in the same city.

It's time to drop Siena from the field hockey schedule. It may be doing us more harm to play them than to drop them. You can argue that the game gives UA a respite on the schedule, and I can't argue too much about that factor, but time after time has shown that superior teams very often play down to the level of the team you're playing. Does this successful team need to have a cupcake like Siena on the schedule any longer? In the past, Siena fans made the point that playing UA in men's basketball was useless since the outcome would be almost predictable, but we were an up and coming team. The current situation with field hockey is definitely not the case.

 

Just being reminded of this post today and it was done for this season !

"“It wasn't our best team score of the season for sure, but it was our ultimate goal to beat Siena for the second year in a row and that's what we accomplished,” said Head Coach Colleen Cashman-McSween."

 

So it doesn't take a UA team's best day to beat Siena? Hmmmm.

Oh come now..... $iena has a pathetic athletics program, plain and simple.

 

Let's be upfront and honest, UA field hockey has developed an elite national program.

Probably the most successful program that we possess.

I agree, the field hockey team is the gem of our athletics program.
