First it happened at a Siena game and now it happened at a U-Albany game.
If you think back to just a few weeks ago, a Siena Saints fan won himself free beer for a year when he made 4 shots within 45 seconds during a half time contest at the Siena/St. Peter's game. Out of pure excitement, he took his shirt off and ran around the court to celebrate. Can you really blame him? He just won a 30-pack of Miller Lite every month for a full year.
He even made it on SportsCenter!
Not to be out done, a U-Albany fan hit a halfcourt shot (no idea what he won for hitting the shot) and then removed his shirt to celebrate his victory! He also decided to show off a few of his dance moves during the celebration as well!

This is clearly becoming the new trend in The Capital Region and from what we can tell, it's adding a little fuel to the crosstown rivalry between the schools.
