Root hard for the Hartford women today. Same time as the UA men's game.

Albany is still the team to beat........Richards is head and shoulders above the rest of the league. Maine over-achieved all season.....picked 5th and finished 1st. I don't expect Maine to make it past the semis.......but it sure was a great ride this year!

Told ya.

With a little left In the first half, UA is ahead of UMBC in the women's game 35-8.

To early to call it?

Yeah, at the risk of jinxing it I think the women are going to be hosting the championship game.

Band never got to the I..Believe..That We..Have Won chant today in Albany. The half of the band that went to Bing could've started it at the 10-minute mark of the first half.

I love the band's energy and music, as well as the afformentioned chant, however there is one issue to which I must take umbrage. Many times when Albany has had a large lead in a game the band has started chanting "Start the buses"; I have always known the chant to be "Warm up the bus". It might be construed as potentially nitpicking an otherwise fine product, but I feel the latter chant has a much greater lyrical quality, as well as a higher historical prevalence in the athletic community.

 

Hopefully the correction is made soon!

In this weather the bus is never allowed to cool down.

At the end of the women's game today the announcer commented on how impressive both UA and UMBC's bands were. When UMBC got to 10 points in the second half our band chanted "double digits." Classic!

So sad. So true.

That is a classic chant. With games on both Friday and Saturday the SEFCU is going to be rocking when we "get the band back together."

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

I think Start the Buses lends itself better to chanting and the subsequent clap clap clapclapclap rhythm pattern

The format really hurt the ladies tourney. Attendance reported as less than 500. The band and dance team did a great job representing UA. A tough choice for fans. Glad we stayed at Bing and real happy to see both teams again at HOME!!

[UA_MA_2000]

Why would the AE change the format for the men and not the women? Seems odd to me unless the format change truly stems from a particular men's coach or two expressing grievances.

[UA'08]

Hmm we know who that coach is! He can complain again next Saturday!
