Started listening on the radio back when Dan Twerligger (sp?) played because it was so cool to me that an upstate boy could be playing D1 college basketball. My dad helped build the ARC and I got to go there several times during construction. Knew I always wanted to be a Siena Indian. Went played football and became friends with a number of players. Attend all home and a few road games and ran the old siena board for a few years until we moved to FL. Managed to see several games since moving. But over the course of the last 8 years I have gotten so that I never stream the radio show, check the board less and less and! sadly see fewer and fewer games and care less each time. So I'd say I've gone from a hard core to very casual fan.

Just curious, Giants have basically been a bad team the last few years, how many Giant fans are considering becoming Eagles fans? 0 since coach was fired mid season.

Just leave a # for this question. 10 being a great fan, 1 a bad fan. . If ripping players and attending ualbany games are the criteria, you get a 10.

Oh yeah, when I bought season Tix just to see our team play at their place. You don't go to any home games that are on ESPN3....that makes you a 4. Ps-- what player should I have given praise to Fri night snowflake?

I've been around the program before moving back to D1. I've known all the coaches, AD's and many of the players from then until now. Not so much lately. I know what Siena basketball is and it's a maac school who completes with similar schools, some years better than others. Winning is great but it isn't the only important thing. Getting players to graduate and the friends they make at Siena are just as important.. Happy New Year.

Did we not have that while winning with the three apostles Mike, Paul and Fran?

I saw the team play at their place without a season ticket lol. Just purchased a ticket to the one game, like I would do for any other game.,,Either you are kidding yourself or easily duped. If it was all about the Siena game you would have just dumped the rest of the tickets. No, it was just a nice excuse for you to watch quality capital region hoop for a change.

I've followed Siena basketball since my two brothers went there in the fifties. I've pulled for them thru the bad times and the good and will continue to do so. However it is getting increasingly difficult to go and watch a Pastos coached team try and play basketball. I see players with potential who should be getting better but are not. I see the same mistakes being made over and over again. I see a player do very well one game and never get off the bench in the next. Puzzling to say the least. I realize some of this falls on the players shoulders but more so on the coach and his staff. We'll be there Monday cheering them on but quite honestly if they loose to Quinny its going to be tough to go on.

Lets start with YOU going to a game that was on TV. I call bullshit. And yes, I was duped by the attraction of UA basketball. Their "fanbase" had been waiting for us to come to their gym for years. I was so sure us Siena fans would only get access to a few hundred tickets, that I went for the $100 season ticket. I even bought 4. I think I did go to one l other game on their schedule because a friend was on the opposing staff. So you got me gorvenius, I'm a UA fan that wanted to see good basketball. I would have gladly given you tickets to any of the other 10 or so games they played that year since that is your real team.

It was a tie game with 4 min left against our moron, and all of our poorly coached players. LOL

How many people are writing their tickets off? I am assuming someone like junkie claims them in the course of business also claiming he just gives them away.

LOL As with most rivalry games, they say to throw the records of the teams out the door. See the early UA D1 years. Games will often be close even when one of the teams suck

LOL That’s all you have to hang your hat on is a tie game with 4 minutes to go? Ba ha ha. Your buddy got out coached again by Brown. Willie owns Jimmy. Seriously are you naturally that thick or do you have to work at it? Rhetorical question. I already know the answer. 😂 BTW...What’s Rex’s record vs AE programs?
