May Day 10

Yeah, they started off winning like 1 of their 1st 20 games or something, which essentially doomed the franchise here. I ended up with free tickets one time and attended a game with 3 of my buddies, we were around 22-24ish. So we didnt know the rules or format of the sport, but we were having a blast getting into the game and cheering/yelling for plays we thought would be good... booing at the right moments. People around us were getting into it a bit too. Low and behold in the 2nd quarter, our usher told us to be quiet and stay in our seats. We left in the 3rd quarter and never came back.

They were in Buffalo for like 3-5 years I think

Notre dame snuck past toledo. Better move them up 5 spots.

I have kind of buried the whole thing a bit... but recently watched the first episodes of the Netflix doc and the Nat Geo doc. It is pretty insane to think about all this and everything that happened in and around these attacks. I still remember a lot from that day. I find it pretty amazing and fortunate that the death toll was 'only' 2,977 or whatever it was. I mean, what a horrible, staggering number and so many lives altered at that impetus... but with how many people are were in and around the WTC, along with the brutality of the attack, it is fortunate there were so many survivors.

Id say it is still pretty good. Its probably very close to the Pac 12 overall. Losing Oklahoma hurts bad... and while Texas is probably a money-getter, their football program has been mediocre for more than a decade.

there goes Houston, UCF, and Cincinnati

sounds a small step away from "Effect the head"

Seems pretty sketchy.

1 minute left. The Bills are winning. Feels hollow though because the final seemed sketchy on both sides.

Haha. I looked at it and it was pretty close, Browns leading. Then they apparently got about 98% of the last 30K votes from the last update

It is clear Bulldog doesnt do anything at all to prep for a show. He doesnt bring any real knowledge to the show outside of being a long time Buffalo sports fan, and rests on that for like 25 years. He doesnt really improve as a broadcaster. I do not feel like he is entertaining in any way either. It seems like he just tries to say whatever he thinks will please Schopp. At least Schopp has an interest in the subject matter and has expertise in all the fantasy/gambling stuff and does research. He is also an actual broadcaster so his delivery has tact to it. That stuff gets boring, and annoying how every topic seemingly gets veered into some sort of prop bet talk or fantasy draft talk. In all, that show is incredibly stale. It is clear that both of them have checked out on the Sabres years ago. Bulldog cant talk about his kid's stupid hockey thing the whole show, and Schopp cant talk much about baseball, strat o matic, and tennis. They can lean on "how excited are you for the Bills?! Call in now, a line is open" I guess. At least until the media finds some sort of 'trouble in paradise' topic to beat to death I wonder what would happen if they mixed it up and put White with Bulldog and Simon with Schopp. I do like the Dibiase kid. A fresh voice. Hungry to try to find content and things to talk about, people to interview, etc. You put people together in one time slot for too long, it seems to just get redundant.

I loved it. I lived in Connecticut at that time, and without going into detail, was indirectly connected to the story. I went to a Trashers game. It wasn't really as crazy as they made it out to be, to be honest. There were a few fights, but the crowd was a typical minor league hockey crowd. They also seemed to over-state how "good" the team was. Especially considering how they blew way past the salary cap

I think Kelly is very tricky to place. Id say a lot/all of those guys you listed, but you also need to add Rivers and Rodgers. Also, Eli Manning, Kurt Warner, Bradshaw, Favre, Staubach, Aikman, Warren Moon, Tarkenton, Rothlisberger all have a pretty strong case to be made as well as old timers Unitas, Graham, Baugh, Starr, Bobby Layne And now we have an endless crop of superhero quarterbacks that look like they are going to make our entire list look like chumps.

Bulldog is out there drowning in a pool of his own saliva and lack of English skills right now, alone on the afternoon show.

Best QBs of all time: 1. Jim Kelly 2. Peyton Manning 3. Doug Flutie 4. Josh Allen 5. Tom Brady 6. Johnny Unitas 7. QB Bills 8. Dan Marino 9. John Elway 10. Joey Harrington

To me, nobody is going through the motions more than "Bulldog". He brings absolutely zero to the table. He doesnt try to bring anything to the table. Goes up into the attic at 3 sometimes and puts in his 3 hours or whatever of winging it. Hearing him when he is alone is uncomfortable. He just stammers around and cannot carry a show.

2 Hours of Sabres talk is 2 hours too many. This is coming from someone who was as die-hard as you could get from the 30+ years prior to 4-5 years ago. 3 Hours of Bills talk with boring Brown and Tasker is too much on a daily basis.

I think the best bet would be to continue in the MAC and keep trying to build and wait for another shakeup which is going to happen sooner than later. Like what if things hit the fan and there was an opportunity to create a "Big East" type conference with institutions like Syracuse, Buffalo, UConn, Rutgers, Temple, UMass, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Toledo, Pitt, Army, Maryland, Marshall.... *Just shooting from the hip, dont need to know details on why "X" would never.... Something like that would be optimal for a bunch of those teams.

Notre dame eeked out a field goal in overtime against Florida state. Better move them into the top 4

Yeah, they asked him directly about the lease, and that was the only answer he could give. He isnt going to say "sure, we will keep extending this lease into perpetuity just because we are nice" This step of the process was always going to be awkward for the Pegulas. PSE is doing their best to look firm/threatening without really doing it. And judging by public comments by all parties, it seems that things are still moving.

If Buffalo isn’t going to work out a deal to keep the Bills in place quickly, the Bills need to start looking for a new partner. If/when they start, it will be too late for Buffalo to keep a move from happening. WTH. This guy just loves the idea of teams relocating.

Buffalo would be a slam dunk IMO if they were adding multiple teams from the AAC standpoint, but it seems like a strange location for Buffalo to desire TBH. Without those 3 teams (and UConn), the AAC loses a lot of luster, at least enough to justify an arduous travel situation. It is probably a step up from the MAC, but how large? I wonder what is going to happen between the MAC, MWC, CUsa, AAC, and the Sunbelt. You would think some sort of shuffling is bound to happen? If so, I would think Buffalo should be primed to land on their feet in an 'upper tier' class/conference of those teams. That is, if they desire to. You also wonder at what point some of the weakest links in some of these power conferences may be culled to either increase the piece of the pie for the better programs, and/or bring on a team who is more appealing. (The Rutgers, Washington State, Vanderbilts, Oregon States of the world).

Anything in the Buffalo area is a 30 minute drive downtown and to the stadium. I would pay attention to tax rates. They can vary a large amount just blocks over I dont live there, but I think I would like Niagara County. Lots of places to get a bunch of land and space. Not in the snow belt, and near all the waterways. It would probably put you maybe like 40 minutes from Orchard Park, but what is the difference really on game days. Im (basically) in Niagara County now and I have never thought the drive to the stadium was too far.

I think when a neutral observer lists off the best fan bases, buffalo has to be mentioned. We are nowhere near the biggest, but we check a lot of boxes. Pregame atmosphere (including all the table stuff and barstool hijinks), in-game atmosphere, the level of support through nearly 2 decades of futility, and the organic gestures toward the causes of Dalton, boyd, Jackson, and Allen. I'm proud to be a part of it. Measuring contests between fan bases are pretty lame though. I think everyone thinks their team has the best fan base
