Last Up: L (28-23) vs New Hampshire

Time/Date: 9/17/22 @ 1PM

Local Radio: 104.5 The Team

Team is coming out of the gate VERY poorly and is going up against a super high-powered offense but also against a porous defense.

Tim DeMorat was 34 of 51, 452 yards and  6 TDs. Monmouth and Fordham combined for over 1400 yards in  a 52-49 FU win.

Early forecast is 75 and partly cloudy

Now that we have two games of stats, tracker has been updated. Still pretty much bottom of the barrel in most metrics (and yes, I know we played Baylor we weren't the only team to play high level competition - UD beat Navy at Navy, Richmond lost to UVA 34-17 and Elon only lost to Vanderbilt by 11). We're bottom 5 in 22 out of 31 categories.

This game is Fordham's homecoming, they're expecting a near sell-out.

Forecast still 74 and partly cloudy

Gattuso says team faces a "tipping point" - TU

Massey ratings predict Fordham 38-35, 47%

Sagarin predicts Fordham by 4

RealtitmeRPIGamer predicts Fordham 47-17, 11.8% !!! (must not be adjusting for strength of schedule - Albany 61, Fordham 246)

Game is also on the SNY network on cable

Where was the defense on Fordham's first drive ... looks like defense "tipped-over" ...

Are the Fordham announcers reporting on a Hello Kitty walkie talkie in a port o John? Only one ear too.

Good god this team is bad. Unprepared.

When you have one clueless and disengaged loser (Benson) extending another clueless and disengaged loser (Gattuso) expect more misery than success.

I still chuckle at my previous belief that the new stadium would grow the program.  But the tone at the top is toxic and the department continues to regress.

One quarter down….zero first downs. GG really had them humming.

This is a game that is about 45 mins from me and I would normally have got 5-10 alumni together to go to the game. I had ZERO interest in going for the first time in years. I threw it out to a few alumni buddies who live in the NYC area and they didn't want to go either.

So far, I'm not upset I didn't go.

Are the announcers doing the game from a bunker with AOL dialup?

[jimbo]

Apparently there’s life in the team after all. Those bad starts gotta go.
