2014 Lacrosse schedule

It's not about whining, Pollyanna. It's pointing out that when the school gets national notice the name is frequently wrong. That's a real issue. And I was the one who posted the positive article in the first place.

This is a major issue—Hamlet is right to point it out

The assistant AD told us they've been concerned about it for years and are hoping something gets resolved soon.

When your school has no consistent identity, it hurts everything.

 

Leave the "@" to Twitter. We need a new name!

Should just be "Albany" plain and simple. No U, no University of or at.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Agreed

It really is an awesome story. We're lucky to have been able to witness it.

About 7 million people watched that edition of CBS Evening News, according to MediaBistro. It would have been fine with me if CBS used any preposition they wanted -- on, in, above, below, around, whatever -- as long as 7 million viewers go to see the Thompsons and hear about "University" and "Albany." Those are the key words, "University" and "Albany," as in "UAlbany" and "UA UA UA UA . . . UA UA UA UA."

Need to start a petition at WhiteHouse.gov to get the NCAA to give them unlimited eligibility! They are so exciting & fun to watch and great for the game! Gonna miss them, but glad we have Lyle for one more year!

Do we have him for another year for sure? Losing his brother and cousin I can see him going pro, but I hope I'm completely wrong.

Instead of getting the govt involved into another arena where they don't belong... how about we enjoy Lyle next year,

and broaden our lacrosse pipeline from the Onondaga Nation to UA!

BTW, the goofs across town lost their play in game.

Significantly more people watched the segment on ABC News a couple of weeks ago. It would be great if 60 Minutes or Real Sports on HBO would pick up on this story, then you're talking about 10-15 minutes of coverage rather than 2-3...now THAT would be awesome (seems like a perfect story for these types of programs too, hopefully it gets some traction)

Win the Championship and it'll be a Disney movie.

Unlike in bb...if you lose your playing game in lacrosse you get no official credit for being in the NCAA tournament.

I keep hearing a rumor that we have @ least one and maybe two coming next year from the "Nation". One is supposedly a real upper echelon recruit?? Can anyone confirm?? Also, I believe pro-lacrosse does not pay a living wage and most players must supplement with "real" work. If this is really the case, I would be surprised if Lyle left school early. In any case, it is not the nba or nfl .
