Same here. The looks of condemnation that you receive when you tell people you aren’t on Facebook is hilarious.

Coming this fall to Orchard Park, NY.

And then McD would immediately trade them both.

Exactly, I don’t understand people saying that the #metoo movement will destroy cheerleading. There is nothing inherently wrong with cheerleading itself. It’s the creeepy dudes who take things way too far. To say that the #metoo movement must destroy cheerleading is saying that harassment and cheerleading must go hand in hand. The mere existence of cheerleaders doesn’t mean that guys are forced to take advantage of them.

I expect a couple posters to say this, “we could use a platoon system with McCarron, and we’d probably win the next ten Super Bowls”.

No, their prospective employer has already seen them fail on live television with their previous team. In other cases, they know their father. On a serious note, it’s a good question, but I certainly don’t know the answer

Exactly, despite the occasional exception, education has absolutely nothing to do with the purpose of big time college athletics. Academia will be a much improved and more honest place once they are willing to admit this.

I’m not sure where you went in Italy, but you might have had a different experience driving around Naples.

Did it really take “balls” though? What’s the IOC going to do about it? They have proven to be quite the spineless organization.

I just can’t get used to the idea of watching someone else sing Glen Frey’s songs either.

I’m not a huge fan. He struggles with blocking, and doesn’t have the speed that today’s great tight ends possess. He could be a soild player, but I don’t see him as a difference maker. We already have O’Leary who I believe is similar to what Gesicki projects to as a pro. He’d definitely be a fan favorite in Buffalo though.

That’s what makes college football so big in the south. You are correct, many northerners are only fans of their alma mater. Bama has an entire state behind them (excluding Auburn fans) who often times aren’t grads.

Absolutely, I enjoy college football a great deal, but I didn’t go out of my way to watch the National Championship game. As a lifelong WNY’er, who cares about Alabama and Georgia? That’s the issue for me. Sports need to have a personal connection for me to care about them. Bills football is important because it is part of my heritage. By association it makes the rest of the NFL matter to me. I want to watch NE because I’d like to see them lose. I enjoy following Pittsburgh because I have family from there (not that I like the Steelers). However, SEC college football has no personal connection to make me care about watching Bama vs Georgia. UB has done a great job building their program. The last thing I want to do is to denigrate what they have done. However, mid major college football simply doesn’t attract fan interest. Attendance numbers are horrible across the MAC. Nothing UB can do will turn Buffalo into a college football town. UB would need to join the a power conference; and compete for titles to persuade the fans of WNY. The MAC lacks appeal to sports fans because they compete for little more than an opportunity to play in a low level bowl game. MAC teams have no chance at national titles. They are like the ugly step children trapped in a sport where they aren’t equals. I believe that this discourages fans from becoming fully enthusiastic about UB. The stage simply isn’t big enough to attract a large fan base.

Mayfield also gets a ton of time to throw. He takes advantage of it by spending considerable time in the pocket before making throws. I’m still convinced that the step up to the NFL will be a huge adjustment.

So would I, but I’m beginning to think that an SEC defense would struggle against a Big 12 schedule. SEC teams play against too many conservative offenses who lack creativity.
