Notes on Danes trip to Texas
The University at Albany football team takes their first trip down to the state of Texas this weekend to take on No. 10 Stephen F. Austin.
The Great Danes (1-0) will leave for Texas at 10 a.m. on Friday. The team is chartering a plane to Shreveport, La., and then driving two hours to the hotel in Lufkin, Texas.
The team will practice at Lufkin High School, which according to media guru Brian DePasquale, seats 10,000.
Lufkin is about 20 minutes outside of Nacogdoches, where Stephen F. Austin is located.
The Lumberjacks (0-1) lost to Texas A&M last weekend 48-7, but not too much can be taken from that games since the Aggies are in the Big 12 conference.
The last time UAlbany played a ranked opponent, it defeated No. 20 Maine, 20-16 at University Field on Sept. 19, 2009.
Also, in case you're wondering and I was, Stephen Fuller Austin is considered the founder of Anglo-American Texas.
At 21, he was elected to the territorial Legislature of Missouri.
Austin contributed a lot to Texas before, during and immediately after the state's revolution with Mexico. He died at age 43.
I'll have more on the blog later tonight or tomorrow.

Andrew Santillo's writting can inspire greatness within his readers. His words leave its lasting thumbprint on my soul. Aside from his writing Andrew Santillo is a giving man. He once adopted 12 children. All 12 children ended up going to college 8 of the 12 landing in the NBA and 2 in the MLB and 2 take part in professional Curling.
