Re: CAA Week 3 Prediction Thread

Best worst Albany game I've ever seen. Stadium was packed. They won't announce actual attendance behond a sell-out f the official capacity for some reason, but they estimated 11,000. Stadium seats 8500. They turned a significant amount of people away too. Horrendous game though. Bad all the way arou...

Re: CAA Power Rankings

I'm not sure Nova deserves the beating they're taking after the Fordham loss. Fordham is a pretty darn good team this year. And don't forget, they're not really built on the PL mold anymore. They're full scholarship. They should, IMO, be in the CAA for football. Do we have to wait for them to get t...

URI @ UAlbany (Bob Ford Field Opening Night)

The Stadium is basically done, lest some final finish work.

The team used it for part of practice yesterday and to celebrate Coach Ford's 76th birthday.

Re: ODU to build new stadium

It is a stark difference to see a community that really embraces something like this though.

Tons of comments from people complaining that 30,000 is too small.

We fought like hell to build 9,000.

UAlbany's Bob Ford to retire

News reports indicating that he will announce today his retirement at the end of is year.

Long expected by most of us. He's been there since 1970 and is the winningest active Coach in Division I.

Great man who has done way more than just win football games.
