YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Albany

Hi, writing from Watkins Glen tonight.
IAAFan, we'll probably be in the Lower Lot (that's where the team parents will be), or park in M-2 and walk over.
I'm not sure what you think upstate NY is like, but anybody who's grown up between Troy, Cohoes, Schenectady, Amsterdam, and Rochester knows what old mill towns are like.
We also know that the Olive Garden is not a real Italian joint.
Do the stadium rules really say cameras aren't allowed in the stadium?
YSUIndy, fans mostly follow the Yankees, Giants (who had their summer camp at Albany the last dozen or so years) with some Jets, Mets, and Red Sox fans. Collegewise, for all that Syracuse has been billing itself as "New York's College Team", the local paper mostly pimps Siena basketball (the paper's name is on their arena). RPI and Union College hockey compete with high school sports for coverage - one result of locals refusing to merge school districts is that there about sixty high schools playing games in the area every weekend. And we still haven't been able to break the idea that FCS isn't much different from Union and RPI's D-III teams. Maybe with the new stadium and CAA teams next year.
Injury report: Our QB broke a small bone in his foot against Robert Morris last week, but he practiced today and won't miss any time. Only one WR is out.
Coach Ford on the radio today said if NFL or college scouts put YSU and us side by side, they'd take 19 of 22 from YSU. So he's been telling the team "Misalignments and missed assignments will kill you more than mismatches".
