#3 Oklahoma vs. #14 Albany

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Anything in Austin? I'll be there for my annual SXSW pilgrimage

 

I'll never forget the CT Game there. I offered a whole bar bottles of Dom if We won. I had an entire bar of people chanting Lets Go Albany and even did some car bombs with some alums I bumped into. I was not sober. And would have gladly destroyed my expense account paying out promise ( I say that now ...).

Maybe I'll offer a round of beer this time. I've got a good feeling about this...

Classic... I thought Warren was kidding around about a viewing party in a St.Maarten pool.

 

 

It was listed for the champ game! Must be having some fun.

Looks like they don't have an alum yet for Boston... wasn't someone on here from Boston?

You don't have to register for the events, at least not the one in NYC. Just showed up.

I would love to be in a position where Warren turns around and sees a couple of us board members stroll through the door.

[MRSGDG]

Going to work today I saw 3 more billboards (2 were the same).

 

One said Wear Your Purple on Friday 20th to Support Your Great Danes

 

The other had Peter on it and it was Congratulations UAlbany Men's Basketball.

[MRSGDG]

GO Marketing Team!

Yes, this deserves a ton of kudos...that's sweet and couldn't come at a better time.

They've certainly stepped their game up the last 9-10 months for sure. We need to keep the pressure on the local media to push our stories and get this town to realize that they have other options than watching LCC lose.

Pretty accurate preview of the danes except for the 'zone heavy philosophy'.

Wasn't sure where to put this. Article from Albany Business Review about th impact of the national attention.

Hopefully Benson is the right man to capitalize on this exposure and success. I'm a fan considering some of the things I've heard and we are starting to see with the billboards, getting out in the media, slowly ramping up the marketing machine.

[uofalbany]

Let's hope so. He inherited a growing and successful program. We need this taken to the next level, which

I hope he was hired to do. Final fours in FH, quarterfinals in lacrosse, boatloads of AE championships...

momentum, momentum, momentum.

 

Doing a pretty good job with the marketing at the moment.

 

When do the men and women leave today?

Men were supposed to leave at 10am but flight was delayed until 12:30pm. Not sure how a charter flight gets delayed.

It would be awesome if they ran this spot during the game, although I realize it costs serious $$ (especially during prime time)
