Crap... ;(

Crap... ;(

 

What happened?

[Clickclack]

Lost game...so close on the road just couldn't hang on...near pick in OT followed by a near sack. Just came up a bit short.

[Dane96]

Game over...McCarney (Colgate QB) made a fantastic pass on 3 and long...with our guys wrapping him up...pure gritty play. They get the first...then go on to punch it in to win in OT.

 

Tough loss...but no matter what...this team looked very good. Both Colgate and Albany are going to do damage in their leagues (Colgate picked to be #2).

 

I do, however, take umbrage to the need to Platoon QB's. DiLella was on fire...and the momentum switched on the series he came out...and the series that Buddy did throw a TD...quite frankly was a lucky series.

 

Leave Dan in...let him play...and if he starts going down the $ienater...then get rid of him. As Danefan said, we need to live and die by one player at that position.

[danefan]

Tough loss, but a lot to look forward to this year.

 

If you want to throw up though....check out Stony Brook beating UTEP.

[danefan]

10-3 SBu at the Half.

 

They've got 200 rushing and 100 passing yards in the first half.

[Clickclack]

SBU dominating Utep...a few years back we were debating who made the right move us by sticking it out in the NEC and them moving out and up...case closed now, right?

[danefan]

SBU up 24-17 at the end of the 3rd.

 

I'm outta here. Game cast is available on ESPN.

We started ahead of SBU. Now they're beating Conference USA teams and playing in a nice stadium. We're losing to Patriot League teams and playing on the same crappy field. .

 

 

Case is definitely closed. As should be McElroy's tenure at Albany. He's failed.

[Clickclack]

How much are they getting paid? If we don't open next season in a new place...top of the Athletic Dept needs to e let go.

[Clickclack]

If we get a new place, how will it compare to SBU's stadium?

[danefan]

SBU ended up falling apart and lost in OT.

 

I think my point still stands though.

 

Click - I don't know what they got paid but the average is usually abou $300k.

 

And our stadium's first phase will be smaller and likely lack the bells and whistles that SBU has (luxury boxes, HD video board, etc)

If we could have just scored something in the 2nd half... disappointing.

Wins are wins, losses are losses. Looks like we won't get ranked this season.

Regardless, seemed like we played solid and at a quality level as did Colgate.

 

I agree:

We should go with DiLella. Got to hand off the leadership and let him lead.

Stony Brook has made the right decisions, we sputtered and stalled. Case closed.

 

Any chance we would move to Stony Brook's league?

The NEC is never going full schollies.

The CAA is doubtful to ever call on us. We could wait another 10 years and keep our little fingers

crossed and hope though.

As long as McElroy is at the helm, we aren't going anywhere. He's obviously content where we are or else we wouldn't b here.

[uofalbany]

Would McElroy have the power to make the decision to increase schollies from where we are now,

to the maximum? Is it possible that the university is telling him its not an option and to stay put?
