Colgate 10/25

[Dane96]

6 wins, a .500 season with essentially the same team. It's been a successful season. Stony Brook will be a tough game...but if we can pull one out versus UD, and SBU...we are in a place we'd never thought we'd be in with essentially the same team as last season.

 

Nice job by Gattuso.

Great game... Fiacchi gonna fiacchi but give it up to this kids in that last drive... He willed them in with awesome plays.

 

Incredible... May be the best win of his career and he plunked Colgate...

Everybody is missing the most important takeaway from this game, which is that after the late missed field goal UAlbany was still able to drive for a touchdown, kick the extra point, and.... Cover the spread!!!

Does anyone know why it takes so long to get the recap story and stats up at the UAlbany site? It's after 10 and there is nothing, and this is common. The full rec/stats (with tons of quotes and a variety of details) has been online at the Colgate site since shortly after 9.

[Dane Pound]

Just curious, they could review the interception in the first half when it was called an incomplete pass and they could review the touchdown at the end of the game for time but they couldn't review the Omar Osbourne "fumble." Meh.

 

It's fun to not play particularly well and still win the game. Especially against a decent team.

[McFan]

I'm curious as to what calls went UA's way. When the refs were exiting they had to walk by the Colgate fans and one guy was just killing them. Very angry and quite honestly classless. The only thing I could think of was one 15 yarder which I think was a celebration penalty in the 4th quarter.

Check out this elitist crap...lol

 

"These are the ones I have more fun in," Gattuso said. "They're supposed to kick our butts. We're nobody. They're established. Great. We love it. That's the funnest game."

How can you be 'nobody' in the CAA? How can you be 'nobody' with scholarships? How can you be 'nobody' with a new stadium? Shows you that our 120+ years of football has gotten us to losing to the likes of a state school, unfortunately.

Rare from Colgate fans but common from the Ivy and PL fans. They have a legitimate gripe but just need to get over it. They were playing in and winning rose bowls at one point. Now they're losing to SUNY schools.

I think the Colgate fan was confused here; This quote was about UNH next week...not Colgate. And Gatusso's point makes sense. We should lose that game on paper. However, if this team plays tough, and we manage the game well at the QB position, we have a shot.

Who exactly made that statement about 120+ years?

Poster on Colgate board...whatever, I just thought it was pretty funny/sour.

[uofalbany]

Ok, the Colgate fan was confused. You'd think these clowns would have more class.

And I anticipate that UA's beatings on Colgate gets worse and worse... so the bozo best get used to it.

I'm with you, that was about the UNH game. You can see the way Coach Gattuso is going to sell that UNH game to our guys. We have nothing to lose going up there. Really, considering how tough SBU played New Hampshire yesterday we should be encouraged.

[UA'08]

If we can win get one win in the next three games, will there be a chance for an at large bid? Is it 16 teams that make the playoffs?

[UAalum72]

24 teams make the playoffs, eleven autobids. This was probably our best win of the year, so I think we need three of the next four to get an at-large (that is, beat one of UNH or 'nova).

 

I just watched the replay, and I think Fiacchi had a pretty good day - 9 of the first ten were completions, one drop right in Gontarek's hands, the INTs were a harmless Hail Mary at the end of the half, and after a blind-side hit that was first ruled incomplete (until our first-ever official use of replay at BOFO). One overthrow down the left side the announcers thought there might've been interference, which would've thrown the timing off. Maybe Colgate's coverage wasn't as good as he's seen, but I don't know how he could've had a much better game.
