Albany State Rams’ first practice leaves head coach Gabe Giardina optimistic

ALBANY, Georgia — Last year, Albany State’s first official practice didn’t go quite how Gabe Giardina planned. Inclement weather forced the Rams to call it a day much earlier than it expected.

This year, when the rain came down yet again during the first practice, Giardina and company, who return a more experienced roster, simply migrated to gym to finish what they started.

That’s pretty much the theme of the season for the Rams as they look to adjust and adapt while navigating a strong SIAC schedule.

After practice Friday, Giardina sat down to discuss the upcoming season.

You’re in your second year and were able to evaluate the spring scrimmage and summer workouts. How are you feeling about the team to start this season?

After being hired last summer, Giardina and his staff were forced to hit the ground running. He, along with the team, adopted a learn-as-you-go attitude. This year, everyone’s had time tCo digest everything, and Giardina said they looked good in the first practice.
