That was hilarious lol. Greatest sports moment of my life. Will never forget the looks on their faces as they just sat there. 

Greatest sports moment of pretty much all of our lives that were there. I was going through all photos and cell phone videos a few months ago and found one of my kids dancing on the floor and at one point I planned over to the sea of red just standing there in disbelief. Such a great memory that will live on forever.

Very detailed conference preview:

Solid read for the conference, even if it listed some players as returning that have left the program.

 

Feeling very excited to have my butt in the stands on Tuesday!

Just looked it up now. Website has been updated. Interesting. I had my seats in the same spot since 1999. The benches moved once before early in coach Brown's tenure. I didn't move then and I am not moving now. But I won't experience again the fans from South eastern NY line up besides me to storm the court and then immediately clear the aisle so I had extra space to celebrate Peter Hooley's basket. 🍺🍺

So are they finally pulling the bleachers back out on that side then? Even when there were fans two seasons ago they pushed them in and turned it into a hospitality area which made zero sense.

No. The ticket site for Tuesday game still shows "baseline club" behind the basket nearest to the parking lot

Not sure if any of you caught it, but it looks like, unlike the football field (which hopefully is done by next year) they redid the basketball court with the new logo.  Looks really great.

So Albany will be shooting at that basket in the second half now?

Bring back PRE-Scobbie; best logo yet. HA-HA😂. Not trying to re-start this issue--just being annoying. SORRY!

I believe those bleachers are broken and won't pull out.  probably not worth fixing before makeover.

You had me at makeovers

If I can get conspiratorial here, sorta feels like the bleachers are broken is a cover story to hide lagging ticket sales the past few seasons. Fewer total seats offered means that the sections that are still open look more full. Plus, it lets them test out whatever the strange lounge behind the baseline and see whether people will pay extra for that and whether it is worth building in for the eventual next arena.

After spring of uncertainty, Horton confident in UAlbany men's...

[UA'08]

This has gotta be one of the biggest lineups on height wise on paper for Albany ever.
