Albany State releases 2012 football schedule; VSU left off

ALBANY, Georgia — Mike White still feels the sting, and so do his players.
It’s been less than four months since the Albany State football team was blown out by North Greenville in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs, but the pain is still fresh from the Rams’ 63-14 loss — White’s most lopsided defeat in his 12-year coaching career.

The Rams now have a shot to avenge that loss. Albany State’s 2012 schedule was released Thursday evening, and the Rams will open up the season Sept. 1 at home against the Crusaders. “I think that definitely catches the eyes of the players and gets the coaches’ attention,” White said. “They really beat up on us.”
