Any chance the Loyola game on Sunday gets switched with the women's game(1pm) to avoid having a small crowd due to the Giants game?

As a Giant fan since the early 60's and having seen them play at Yankee Stadium, let's go with Giant's game. Go GMEN and Gaels. |

I am a Jets fan so I don't care, but I complained about this a couple of years ago when an Iona game conflicted with a Jets playoff game and I got several response posts saying Iona was their #1 sports team and they always came first.
IMO the Maac is stupid ever scheduling the games opposite the NFL. They should play Thursday/Saturday or Saturday/Monday until the NFL is done, during playoff time the Saturday game should be early afternoon so it doesn't interfere.

On a related note, Siena had originally announced that it would be simulcasting the Giants - Falcons game, during the NU game. However, they had to drop the idea when the NFL told the school it would violate its copyright.
I wasn't surprised. I thought it was more or less common knowledge that the NFL doesn't allow that sort of thing. Every year, around Super Bowl time articles are published about the NFL cracking down on churches and other groups planning to show the game on large screens at Super Bowl parties.
The funniest post on the Cadillac board was from a Siena fan who claimed to be in law school. When others questioned the legality, he insisted that "he had taken classes on this sort of thing" and that it was perfectly fine for Siena to simulcast the game. About 30 minutes later, another poster responded with the official word that the NFL had nixed the idea.
Moral of the story? If you are looking for a lawyer, make sure he didn't graduate from Siena.

A few years back, he celebrated a Basketball video on the Sienna Board, laced with profanity and violence especially against women, as an expression of our culture by Kanye West. This was Sienna's celebration of a MAAC title. Guess the guy never heard of Nelly, just to cite one example. |

The law student (who I'm guessing won't graduate in the top 10% of his class, much less make the US Supreme Court) went by a different handle than sienafan. I see that espn.com had a story about the planned simulcast. Almost all the reader comments were very negative about the idea (except those simply mocking Siena in a general sense). Most said it was disrespectful to the coaches and players and I agree. The funniest comment was one asking if the Giants would reciprocate by simulcasting Siena games at Met Life Stadium. |
