Is it snowing today? I'm wondering if Skidmore will make the trip this weekend? The forcast does not look warm enough to melt any snow between now and Saturday.

I don't think they'll be played, but we'll be there regardless. I looked at the schedule for both teams and I think they'll have a tough time making the games up.
It would help some of the UR guys nursing injuries if they had another week off. But, the weather forecast is almost as bad for next weekend!

I would very much doubt they will play this weekend. It looks like friggin' January out there right now - with no warm up coming for at least 5 days. Skidmore has the RPI series on the only open weekend for UR before the play-offs. Things are going to be jam packed if they do find a way to play them.

Ah, Mother Nature ye olde fickle one - I guess it's your way of saying, "Get well guys". Heck, I'm thinking UR might not be able to play before April 6, if then.

I just think it stinks that some of these might not be able to be made up.

DITTO!!!!!!
But whats worse is my cancellation fees for our airline tickets.......and it could happen next week too!! But, it's still cheaper than flying out to just sit in a hotel room, I guess.

Too bad the games are not scheduled for Skidmore, it's supposed to be a balmy 35 on Saturday and 37 on Sunday.

Just heard that the Skidmore/Rochester series has been changed. They will play a two game series at St. Rose on Saturday. Not sure if the other two games have been scheduled for a later date or just cancelled. St. Rose is in the Albany area.

So you guys didn't get any of that snow out your way, scs? I don't care if they play 'em on the moon, so long as they get to play them all!

scscoach · March 24, 2011, 08:32:53 PM

We got a couple inches Tuesday where I live, but I am 165 miles north of Albany. The forcast for Albany on Saturday is 34 and sunny. I wonder if they will reschedule the other two games.

Albany did not get any snow the other day, they are clear to play with no problem!

BTW....Union crushed Allegheny today 17-7 with 20 hits....impressive win since they had defeated 2 top 15 teams recently!! They have been in every game in Florida

I would hope they would try and make up the other two as well. Maybe they will try and do a double header in Rochester later so they don't lose their whole home field advantage for the series....
Are you in Plattsburgh?

15 miles West of Plattsburgh, in Saranac

I went to college in Plattsburgh......good times. I see the College of St. Rose field is not on their campus, but at Hoffman Park. Brand new facility last year. Looks nice...

Just finished canceling the trip to UR for this weekends games

........Okay ol' ma nature...you can send spring now so we can play next weekend! If UR and Skidmore were playing all 4 games in Albany, I'd still fly in (land in Buffalo-it's MUCH cheaper than Rochester) and make the long drive to Albany. But, since they're only playing Saturday..........it even tests my limits!
