Wow-have you no sense of history??? Rodger is a shill for UA-it would behoove you to peruse that history. FYI-I know the Lynch clan well-Kelly's mom is a dear friend and former colleague. So I'm fairly objective here. Yeah, Roger is such a UA shill that no one at the school is talking to him over the Cremo/Nichols report...wake up! And you know this how. Unless you work for the school in the athletic dept. you should not be privy to this information. If so they have serious challenges at UA. And if the case no one is speaking to him has his contract been cancelled as the broadcaster for sports. Seems if this is the case he should be gone.

Yeah Dave, let me get back to you on how I know...and "no one" is hyperbole. I'm sure as a contracted employee who does play by play, someone has to talk to him or at least let him in the door. My point is a shill for UA doesn't run out and do UA like he did UA with Nichols/Cremo. Case in point, the TU is more than willing to march lock-step with Siena and be your mouth-piece/carry your water etc. It's always been that way. The situation simply calls for some honestly in this respect. It is what it is. LOL

I could not care less about UA- or Cremo -or Nichols. So I will remain blissfully indifferent about anything UA. (I earned my MS at UA but always wore my green and gold at graduation ceremonies) My comment spoke directly to your assertion that he's a UA shill but of course you missed it all...and congrats on you being a total BAD ASS...wearing all that green and gold under your graduation gown. Don’t tell me the Dog Whisperer is an Albany fan! Is that because they’re called the Great Danes?

The situation simply calls for some honestly in this respect. It is what it is. LOL Seriously doubt that Siena’s “propaganda department” had anything to do with the Dougherty article. First, because there is no such entity at Siena, and second, school admins are enjoying the positive publicity generated by Jamion’s hire, and just want to ride with that. No need to get caught in a hissy fit between local media types. And no reason to believe that the T-U favors the Saints just because they play in a building with the paper’s name on it. If there is any favor or bias, it’s probably because the paper mgt. know where fan interest in the Capital area lies. And, seriously, Albany sports get LOTS of publicity in the T-U.

I have read enough about Wyland on here to think that I really would not like him. However, at least he puts Siena on the news. Canisius, Niagara, Bona, and UB are barely a blip on the radar on local TV in the Buffalo market. I can vogue for that having attended many Siena games in Buffalo. VERY LITTLE COVERAGE of those schools athletic teams on TV or newspapers.

Wyland scooped everyone and got publicity out of it whether he was right or wrong. That’s what the media does. If he was wrong he still gets attention. Win win for him. The fact that people are talking about him proves that. Agree . . . sometimes "fake news" becomes "real news" . . . Wyland got lucky

the one who didn't get it is you. Anything UA for me falls into the category of "who cares". Clearly you and all your legions of UA fans (lol) care about Cremo, Brown, Rodger etc etc, but not me. And as for "wearing green and gold under a grad gown" you missed that point too. (Not a surprise-you do have a UA degree.)The green and gold is called regalia and it IS the robe.

Yeah, you seem like a well reasoned person. Make a comment that the man is a UA shill; when I try to explain to you why he's not...you're response amounts to... Or as you so aptly put it, "who cares" And I'm the one that doesn't get it....lmao

I think we are all tending to forget that Roger was only doing his JOB! We didn't like it because of his UA connection (which played no part) and we didn't know WTF was going on (blame Siena for tight mouths). Take all of that and couple it with the ever present but not prescient fellow board members who, bit off, chewed, and completely digested the rumor that the story was going to eliminate JC from the running. Face it, we don't have sources that can compare with a guy with Roger's experience (well, maybe HJ does but I know I don't). Put it behind us - we need favorable TV coverage from all, read that ALL, of our local media and Roger is a big part of that.

He wasn't reporting at that moment in time because he made stuff up. He wasn't giving a considered opinion either as his story was shared as factual. This has become a huge problem with the media in the last decade or so - the story is more important that facts, credibility and integrity. smh

Remember, they met 8 days prior to the press conference yet MSM's AD was saying they had not heard from Siena as late as last Saturday. My guess is that Siena knew he was the guy they wanted but still had interviews scheduled.

Nice hit piece by Siena's propaganda department... Not sure how you think this could be Siena propaganda. This sums it up in my opinion. Kind of indicative of the national media on many fronts. Damn the torpedoes - FULL SPEED AHEAD! JUST BE FIRST.
