So after a season that saw its highs and its lows, the Albany Patroons are headed to the championship series against the Yakima Sun Kings. Now here’s where it gets weird. Games 1 and 2 will be in Yakima on Monday and Tuesday, while Game 3 – if necessary – will be back in Albany…

You know that feeling when your favorite team makes it through all the trials and tribulations of a regular season, and are now one game away from playing in the league championship? Yeah.  That was the Albany Patroons last night. The Patroons were one win away from reaching the championship series for the sixth time…

Here’s the deal.  If the Albany Patroons don’t win Game 2 of this TBL playoff series against the Raleigh Firebirds, then there’s no Game 3. Here’s the deal.  If the Patroons don’t pick up their shooting, if they don’t clamp down on their defense … then there’s no Game 3. And in the third quarter…

The best way for me to explain today’s post is that yeah, I could go to an Albany Patroons game and watch to see who scores more – the Patroons or the other team. I could do that any day there’s a game. But the truth is … being involved with the Patroons for these…

It’s as simple as the message on the Patroons’ locker room greaseboard. WIN AND YOU ARE IN LOSE AND YOU ARE OUT PLAY 2 WIN The message was – if the Albany Patroons could take a victory Sunday afternoon over the Jamestown Jackals, the Patroons would reach the rapidly approaching TBL playoffs. Simple enough.  But…

Well … that was fun. It was a Saturday afternoon game at the Armory, the Patroons hosting the Jamestown Jackals, and I was covering as the PA announcer due to the Patroons’ PA announcer having a commitment with the Cage Wars event over at Rivers Casino. And by the end of the night … everybody…

So here’s the deal.  The Albany Patroons are currently in fifth place in the TBL basketball standings.  We just lost our league MVP, Edwin Ubiles, to team in the the Puerto Rico BSN basketball league.  And San Diego is coming into the Armory on Friday night. Well, San Diego never arrived.  Hmm… No matter, we’ve…

So I got the call early yesterday afternoon.  “Can you cover the internet broadcast by yourself?” My partner on the broadcast, John Longton, had a prior commitment and was unavailable Friday night. No biggie.  You step up and help your teammates.  That’s how it works. Of course, that means my first Albany Patroons full broadcast…

After that rough road trip where the Pats went 1-5 and slipped down to fourth place in the TBL standings, the Patroons have rebounded with two straight wins over the cellar-dwelling New York Court Kings, who might only get to the playoffs if someone buys them tickets. So yeah, Chuck is happy.  A lot of…

You know the picture.  It’s when an exhausted basketball player sets a new record for most points or most rebounds or most something.   They hold up a piece of paper that’s got a big number scribbled on it. Last year, Lloyd Johnson tied the Albany Patroons’ franchise record for most points in a game, with…
