ALBANY, Georgia — Friday afternoon, the Albany State Rams will hit the football field for their first official practice of the 2018 campaign.This year, the Rams are looking to return to the SIAC title game after missing out last year. They begin the season with the confidence of the rest of the conference, as the Rams were predicted to win the Eastern Division at SIAC Media Day.
ASU head coach Gabe Giardina said he doesn’t put too much stock in preseason predictions, but he said he is pleased to know that the program is still respected around the conference.
“I think that people realize there’s a great history and tradition here at Albany State,” Giardina said. “I think part of that is a byproduct of the entire athletic department and the things our softball team, baseball team and golf team were able to accomplish. It’s exciting to be a part of something that people are proud of and that people think are a top-notch, well run athletic department.”
Early on this season, ASU will face a traditionally tough Tuskegee team that was once again picked to win the Western Division before getting into what Giardina said will be a long stretch of equally challenging teams.
