Why crosstown schools hate each other

Siena, UAlbany unlikely to play - top sports story in the T-U today

 

So the $iena coach holds a 29-year grudge against a guy who retired 25 years ago and who's been dead for two years, and it affects the teams today.

LOL at this story...so...he'll just keep paying a lot of money to go play somewhere else. That will learn us!

A series in April at Joe Bruno sounds like a great idea. I am sure HVCC would be receptive. Too Bad Rossi is a mean old man.

Thanks for posting the article. Very interesting part of the story. Obviously more to it, but if Rossi was acting arrogantly to Albany like LCC has been known to do, I have a new found respect for former University at Albany athletic administrator Joe Garcia saying "We don't need you."

Only wish basketball had the guts to say that to them until a fair contract was offered.

As far as him continuing to refuse to play albany, whatever. You can come up with a better reason than the schedule has been full since the 80's. the maac kicked LeMoyne out not too long ago; that should have freed a few games up. They have played Tennessee one or twice recently and now don't. If they want to travel to Albany 1/2 the time, it could have been worked out over the last 10 years.
