I know people have seen my posts on this matter, I blame UA admins more then anything on this topic. McElroy was a pushover... Jury out on Benson. I have said many times... Siena owes us NOTHING. I wouldn't want to ceede and inch to UA either... Now that we have a few wins and counting. I'm not upset one bit with Siena fans. So you understand why Siena fans would not want to give up our home court? I am very adamant about that, but am warming more and more to a home & home. I realize a lot of people would be shut out, but as long as everybody was given equal opportunity (meaning tickets), I could still see it as being a good event across the region. You'll get your standard allotment alloted to any visit team. We do the same and buy the rest from you stuff more money in your pocket alternate years.

The article misrepresents the Siena fan base. As much as we want to beat the shit out of UA in the head-to-head, I believe our fans are happy when UA makes the big dance and root for them to win. I know I do.

I'm saying if 1000 Siena fans show up wanting to buy a ticket when they go on sale after season tickets, they have equal chance if they have to stand inline/online. Just want an opportunity to put as many Siena fans there until tix are gone. Not saying I care who gets the money. Cuz you know you'll have the chance at the TUC to put as many fans there as you can get.

Gotta back that up with a "If this game goes over 10,000, I'll......" Why not, no way you can lose since it's 0%

Siena is the only team that plays in an arena (as opposed to a gym) where the opposing team has the "opportunity" to purchase more tickets than the home team (if they so chose to). All other arena teams, that I'maware of would only hold 200-500 seats available for opposing teams, probably closer to 200 for teams that sell out every games. I've been for cancelling this in order to schedule a team from a better conference (even if it's only a crappy a-10, CAA, MAC etc. Team). Fran HATED having to play this game. Nothing to gain- if we win, we were supposed to. If we lose,God forbid. Hurt RPI even if we won. Right now there is no difference in Siena and UA. When this series first started Siena had nothing to gain. Now its a jump ball as who is going to win. UA has climbed the D 1 ladder quicker thn Siena did. They have won 3 out of 4 , if Siena backs out now it will be like they are admitting UA is as good lf not better.

Read the article. EVERYTHING Jimmy said, Brown did. He changed the game, and he never went on the trip he used as an excuse. He thinks no one can figure that out? That he didn't wanna play his first game against a veteran team, when he has a group with 9 newcomers? It's really not a big deal when we play, but anyone that read that article can see Will lied about the reasoning the game was moved. Really, am I missing something here?

First game of the year on a Saturday night, I would have. Now, no students? Game has been over 10K last 8 out of 9 When I say, "No chance it'll be under 10,000!" then we discuss a bar tab! lol

I'll take any takers. $100 at HJ places. Deadline is 9am tomorrow. As of now around 8000. 2000 walk up is not likely.

Probably wont get there- UA is having trouble selling there tickets, they just dont have much support and it shows at box office. 7k of the fans there will be Siena fans- UA will be lucky to bring 2K this year

UA could easily surpass Siena's fan base if they had loyal students and alumni.

UA is crying for a home game with us so they can fill SEFCU one time, video the crap out of it and then use it for recruiting to show potential recruits an avid fan base (NOT) and a packed gym! Let the series die a natural and long overdue death.

Let the series die a natural and long overdue death. Bingo-- what Brown is really complaining about when he says road game--is he wants a full gym ( something he seldom gets) and he basically want to say FU to 7,000 Siena fans ,,really time for Siena to move on from this game
