Albany's Conference Win Streak

[Dane96]

There is a good chance it could end next week, as this is the game everyone has been looking forward to in the NEC since last season. CCSU should put up as stiff of a test as Maine and GSU (UMASS just dominated Albany's run game).

That said, to have an 18 game win streak...is simply amazing. The Danes last loss was in 2006 to Monmouth.

It is an unreal accomplishment, no matter the level of competition. It is currently the longest conference win streak in DIVISION I FOOTBALL.

Congrats to the players and staff!xthumbsupx

Next week's game should be a good one. CCSU needs to put away Bryant, though. They're tied halfway through the 4th . . .

The streak is amazing but I'd rather have a few losses in a better conference. We need to move up now.

when i was watching the ccsu vs sh they said YOU were the team to beat!

Why move to a different conference?
NEC gets the automatic bid next year.

And what conference could you see Albany jumping to?

The only conference to go to would be the Big South and I don't see a huge benefit there.

The reason is simple: just making the playoffs isn't good enough. With a 40 ride max, that's exactly what any NEC team will do. We need 63 rides to compete for a national championship. That's what we want.xthumbsupx

we are close behind with a sixteen game conference win streak...

Does the Big South get an automatic bid?

Does the Big South get an automatic bid?

Yes, next year as well.

If you jump conference is there a period of time where Albany would have to be deemed an Independent or can they join right away?

You can join right away. Albany's contract in the NEC is up after 2010. We could jump to the Big South and be eligible in 2011.

Don't worry though, we won't. Not enough money for travel and our facility is the #1 priority right now.

I'm not worried about it. I think Albany has to do whats best for their program and not the NEC.
