2021 UAlbany Volleyball Autumn Home Schedule

[cwdickens]

Follow the link to the UAlbany Volleyball Instagram page for the announcement of the home schedule only: https://www.instagram.com/ualbanyvb/

I have seen no announcement on UAlbanysports.com.

Why do we have to sign up on Instagram for the schedule??  Certainly a third world athletic department!!

Because that’s where the students are.

I would be OK with this, if STUDENT support was more respectable. It has been years since I've noticed any real UA student excitement about UA athletics! Those who read this blog and follow UAlbanySports.com are the ones showing up at UA events. Without us, the stands would be emptier than they are now. As Oldtimer said:  "Why do we have to sign up on Instagram for the schedule??"   Whoever runs the web site [UAlbanySports.com], simply needs to do a BETTER Job of keeping fans up-to-date with rosters, schedules, news etc.  Then again NOT likely that is going to happen, given the state of UA marketing and communication since Voldemort {"he who is not too be me named"--for you non Harry Potter fans} took the reigns.

UA's instagram and other social media accounts are public, not private, so you do not need to follow or subscribe to them to see their posts. You can test this by opening the link Dickens shared in incognito mode.

That being said (I haven't checked), if the schedule was shown on Instagram but is NOT updated on the website...then yeah, that's pretty typical of our current AD overall.

Whenever I try to link to instagram; it asks me to log-in. I tried the Volleyball link again just now--asked me to log-in. Perhaps there is a way to see the link without logging in? But I'm perfectly fine waiting for the UA athletic web page to catch up. Actually I am perfectly fine with just NOT using instagram at all.

Try incognito or inprivate tab (right click on link). I just tested and it's fine. But I agree with you overall...the main page for the AD should be THE most up to date information place we have.

Instagram (for at least me) is a great place to make the announcement however; those in charge of the website UAlbanysports.com need to follow up with posting schedules on the website....not much to expect
