No way. I won’t give them a nickel until GG is gone. It took half a century, but they finally offended me to the point of no return. I’ll watch the games on TV, but otherwise I’ll save the GDAC, ticket and gas $. Enjoy and may your voice be heard. 

Has anyone from UAlbany Sports contacted you about not buying tickets?

Depending when the storms pass thru later this afternoon, the team will have played couple days this week under game conditions ... actually since the team has been back on campus .... several days of ninety degree plus weather

I expect to watch a quarter...that way I can say I watched the game.

In other news, Jared Verse had a sack in their first game this season and was called out in some national ACC thing I was looking at.

Ch 13 news: team landed in Waco at 12:30, went straight to the stadium for a 1 1/2 hour workout. Nobody seems too concerned about the heat

What happened to Matt the QB from BC? Lots of fanfare, don’t even see him on the depth chart. Injured?

Matt  Valecce is still on the roster, it was said earlier that he was behind Poff, Carino and Szalkowski in training camp.

For $500,000, UAlbany football enters Baylor as huge underdog - TU pregame story

Bears don't plan to overlook Great Danes in season opener - Waco Tribune

 

We got this game when Baylor's series with Louisiana Tech was canceled.

[jimbo]

The Waco Trib predicts a 63-10 shellacking....but they haven’t seen snarling Great Danes before. Sounds about right, but it all depends on how soon they call off the dogs...or Bears in this case. By the time they get to the third string and walk ons they should be able to move the ball. They’ve got a massive size advantage over our D line and their nose guards are scary big. My main concern would be coming out of this as healthy as possible and no pulled hammies from looking for that extra gear to try and keep up with the speed. So do your best guys, enjoy the big time atmosphere and make UA proud. Like the Steve Miller Band said....”take the money and run!”

Among the comments on Baylor's board, there's this video

One guy posted this photo

and there's a video of Casey Stadium which they compare unfavorably to high school stadiums (well, at least TEXAS high schools)

I live in Oklahoma now and my wife teaches at OU, and it is a known fact that Baylor fans are trash.
