Maine @ Albany Game Thread

[danefan]

UNH is a couple of bad seasons from falling BELOW Maine in the CAA Football pecking order due to their poor facilities and finicky fans. Considering UNH's recent string of success.......I'm not impressed with their attendance.

I would agree. And I would LOVE to be at this game.

Official offer - take a "business trip" to your branch in Newark. I'll pick you up outside Terminal C Friday night at 7pm. Gunmetal Rover - jersey plates- hot wife with big boobs in the front.

Bring you golf clubs. 7:30am t-time Sat, followed by 4 hours of tailgating and 3 hours watching football on old wooden bleachers. Don't move too much though - splinters in the ass hurt.

I like the simple ones like that.

Albany by 3

I think Maine wins a close one, but neither team will sniff the playoffs.

[danefan]

Woke up this morning with a bad feeling about this game.

Tempered expectations.

[danefan]

A little pregame prayer from a poster on the Albany board (we also just found out our stadium plan A was scrapped)

God, we Dane fans here in Albany don't ask for much---sans wins over Siena every year and conference championships in several sports---but if there is any way you could help us out with our stadium wishes, and if it's your will, we will promise to go to the home games, purchase season tickets, eat lots of dry pulled pork sandwiches, buy lots of raffle tickets for the tennis team, and even welcome Siena and Binghamton fans at our new stadium since you have taught us to love thy neighbor, even if thy neighbor sucks. Obama will be here next week; maybe you can let him see our "field" while flying over, resulting in some grant money to come our way. Just a thought, and please help our football team not turn the ball over 5 times this Saturday, because Coach Ford deserves better; Amen!

Maine's All-American and 2008 CAA Rookie of the Year Jared Turcotte is most likely out for the season.

[danefan]

Maine's All-American and 2008 CAA Rookie of the Year Jarod Turcotte is most likely out for the season.

Ouch. That means you'll probably see even more of Brusko under center this year.

Is that even possible?

Is Turcotte definitely out?

Albany pregame story indicates he should be ready to return this week.

That's to bad, I hope it's the type of injury that he can return strong from next year.

UNH averaged 8,000 per game last season.... in a stadium that seats 8,000

Albany by 14, Maine went into OT vs a mediocre DII St Cloud St.

[Uncle Buck]

This is an interesting game. I feel the pain of Maine fans who are stuck with a QB they don't believe in, i feel the same with about their current starter. Can't throw a deep ball with any degree of accuracy.

All said and done, i think this game is a battle. McCarty out, the o has to step up, the Dane defense has to step up as well. I think this game will be a battle. Albany needs this win to right the ship and Maine seems inconsistent and still a big question mark. I would almost call this game a toss up based on injuries and what is on the line for Albany who can't afford to start 0-3.

Doesn't sound promising........

Local reports today and last night indicate that McCarty is going to play and start today. Could be a big boost for Albany.
