I'd love to see a first round game against UVA. Easily draw 5-6k or even more depending on the start time.

[uofalbany]

Adding UMass lowell to the reg season schedule absolutely destroys us.

 

Nothing good about that game.

[dslyank]

Bracketology means nothing. It is not even a real word. Win out and we will host a first round game.

[uofalbany]

Yep, 15-2 should get us a first rounder

[UAFAN]

Can't do anything about Drexel & Bryant having bad seasons. Cornell could have been better if game was in NY and Seth Oakes played. Can't do anything about the lower AE teams either. Syracuse could have also gone the other way if Russell doesn't get hurt. Need to drop Canisius and possiblely UMass. Maybe pick up Army or another Ivy.

U Mass is usually pretty good in lax. I wouldn't drop them.

[uofalbany]

U Mass is usually pretty good in lax. I wouldn't drop them.

 

Agreed

[UAFAN]

I know that they are usually pretty good and only mentioned it because this is their 3rd poor season in a row. 2 NCAAs in last 8 years.

 

2013: 7-8

2014: 7-6

2015: 4-8 so far

 

If everyone besides us and SBU continue to play poorly we may need to add more consistent quality programs to the schedule. UMBC (30-39 last 4 seasons) what happened to you??? UVM may even make the conference tournament.

[UAalum72]

The problem with getting better games is getting home games. North Caroline played only two Non-conference games on the road. Syracuse one (all the way to Colgate!) plus one neutral. All of Johns Hopkins travel was between Philadelphia and College Park, except for one at Syracuse. Princeton's longest road trip was to Stony Brook.

 

Albany is currently FIFTH in the country in average attendance (click on Misc Reports), but we can't get the so-called power teams to come here.

"Albany is currently FIFTH in the country in average attendance...." Hmmm, shouldn't all of our lacrosse games against LLC be at Fallon Field since our ave. attendance is 2,446 and theirs is only 479. Besides, their arena only holds 1000.....can't fit in all the fans that would want to attend.

 

I think we've heard this argument before but in a different context.

 

Sorry, couldn't pass up the opportunity for a little sarcasm.

[bob87]

LOL Another thing you left out

It wouldn't be a road game anyway for LCC since they could still sleep in their own beds

[UA66]

Forgot about that one, Bob. Thanks.

10 minutes in UA 7 UMBC 2

[jimbo]

1 minute left in 1st 10-2

[jimbo]

15-2 at the half. Either the UMBC face off guy isn't very good or the UA guys are improving. Doing very well at the X.
