We need to get the boys together right away, you guys are simply blowing our cover-
Remember rule 22R of our charter:
Section 22 Subection ® When the horse starts kicking back and making you look like a complete dumbass, quickly and quietly refocus on another horse.
Let's steady this ship before you embarass the balance of the Club's membership.
That's funny....I've posted twice since yesterday morning. Once about Lindell and the other about something Jeff Burris said on the radio. Maybe the person beating the dead horse is the one who started this thread.

He's 5 of 6 from beyond 40 this year. Give the guy a little credit for his play this year. He has been just short of perfect. If he makes 13-15 beyond 40 by the end of the year, do you comeback with..."Oh yeah, but none of them with the game on the line!"??

I happened to be in the car at this point in the game and also heard this. I'm still trying to figure out what he was actually trying to say.

I agree. You don't hear Simon being condescending or hanging up on callers.

Even Alan Pergament of the Buffalo News is on the "bash shopp" bandwagon...

Schopp's act is wearing thin
By ALAN PERGAMENT
10/15/2005
When Mike Schopp started at WNSA-FM with his "sports talk for smart people" slogan, I was a big fan.
He was reasonable, engaging, smart and funny.
But lately at WGR AM-550, the thin-skinned Schopp has lost me with his arrogance, rude treatment of callers and ludicrous statements...

My favorite of all time...Don West hawking sports memorabilia. If you have forgotten Don, go to this website and listen to the mp3's at the bottom of the page. He is now a wrestling announcer.
also...under the column of "motion cards", check out the 2 videos that begin with "swim".

Here's the show - Sabres good, Bills bad.............People in the media think that everybody cares about how the media is treated. So, the Sabres are now on GR which makes every move they make great. And, the Bills really don't have anything to do with them, so everything they do is horrible.
Talk about the friggin games and the football - not about how you are treated by the team - nobody friggin cares!!
You just hit the nail on the head. Good job!

Just happen to have the June 5, 2005 BuffNews sports section in front of me right now. Headline: "UB light on pay scale", story by Rodney McKissic.
The average salary of a head coach at UB is $59,341, lowest in the MAC. (Ohio U. is next-lowest at $60,846; seven of the other 10 schools pay their HC over $70K.) The salary of an average UB assistant coach also ranks 12th out of 12 schools, at less than $30K/year.
I was wrong about the recruiting budget, though - looks like UB is middle-of-the-pack in the MAC.
The numbers were taken from the Corrigan Report, prepared by the former head of the NCAA. Here's what he had to say about UB:
As some of you have pointed out, that may already be starting to change. I wish UB well in the effort...
Thanks Lori. I must have missed this article in the Buffalo News.

This is why I am very interested in the 2nd half of this years schedule. It is loaded with quality opponents and I want to see how the Bills fare.
-
To those in this thread who stated that the reason for not talking the safety is that Miami could have scored and then miss the extra point, which then would have sent the game into overtime...
This season 273 out of 277 extra points have been made for a 98.55% rate. It's about as automatic as anything in football.

Who gives a fug what he does or say? Mularkey could come out and Riverdance for 5 minutes, turn around and moon the press gallery, and then go tongue kiss Ralph Wilson but as long as we win on Sunday, who cares. The starting QB will be the one I see line up behind center and gnashing my teeth over not being told in advance who it will be is a waste of time.
and then go tongue kiss Ralph Wilson but as long as we win on Sunday, who cares.

I'm assuming that this is a serious question (if not sorry I missed the sarcasm).I'd probably guess a combination of things. It's cliche, but like many people have said weather is probably one thing. I mean honestly every time I meet someone and say I'm from Buffalo the first thing they say is "man you got all that snow there." It's like people think it snows in Buffalo year round. I'm sure the fact that they're closer to home is nice for family and friends to be able to see games. It seems to me like the schools here do show a commitment to winning and being contenders each year. I know this is kinda related to win/loss records but like someone else mentioned earlier the prospect of some national tv games must be exciting. I mean we have 4 national tv games this year and we probably won't even win the MAC. The schools are for the most part nice campuses in smaller, middle of nowhere type college towns. Its a fun atmosphere to be in at college not having to worry about "big city" stuff. Also, I know at this campus the fact that rich extremely hot girls seem to multiply by the day can't hurt. I know there are great looking women at every school, but man at this campus its something else. I'm sure anyone thats been here can vouch. Overall, its probably just a combination of many things that make it more appealing to stay close to home than to the "unknown" of UB.
It was a serious question. Thanks for the insights.

Another thing to think about is the overal lquality of high school football players in the immediate area. Here at Miami U, we get a bunch of the good players that dont get scholarships to OSU, Michigan, etc. I'm from WNY but since I've been going to school here in Ohio, it's very obvious that the quality of high school football here is way above that of WNY. The best big school teams from WNY could probably get worked by some of the smaller division teams here. They're sure as hell serious about their football in Ohio.
Being in Ohio and considering that 3 or 4 schools in the MAC are from Ohio, I have a question for you. How are the universities and the towns they are located in, more attractive(outside of recent won-loss records) to a football player than UB?
-
Good. That way it will be like a kick in the balls for the opposing OC in his first game back, when he burns them for a big play.
Oh and check this out: http://www.realfootball365.com/nfl/article...bills121005.php
I already saw the article you linked. I'm not saying he won't be a good player, I'm just questioning how big of an impact he will have in his first game. If he goes off for 5 catches for 120 yards and a TD, great for the Bills and great for him.

Bills 20
Jets 13

I've said this before. DC's aren't losing sleep at night wondering if an under-sized WR picked in the 2nd round is going to show up in uniform for his FIRST NFL game. Just a hunch, but I think he may have to prove something on the field first.

I've seen it reported in the Buffalo News that the UB football program is "underfunded", but I've never seen the numbers to back this up. It would be nice if the writer who covers UB for the News did an article on this. Real simple....obtain the football budgets from each MAC school and let the public decide if UB is "underfunded" and by how much .
Has the Jason Peters fan club been keeping track of how many positions have been suggested for JP here at TBD??
