  1. UB Got 4 votes in the AP poll this week. Okay, they have a way to go, like another 126 votes, just to be ranked #25. But hey, it's a start, and the team is climbing new heights every game.

     

    They are off for exams until Dec.21 when the host Elon. Not exactly a power team that will catapult them into the polls. In fact, UB may never reach the polls, even if they win 25-26 games. That's because there are no other "power" teams on their schedule, and I don't think MAC teams are treated with any respect anyway.

     

    That's just fine with me. I would love to see UB in the NCAA's ambush some at-large team that got in because they play in a power conference. It's way too early to fantasize like that, but it's fun right now.

  2. Can we please discuss legitimate coaching candidates and not pie-in-the-sky fantasy coaches?  Stop and think how many great players, in any sport, ever become great coaches?  I can't think of too many.  You would think anyone who did it could teach it, but things are never that simple.

    Lindy Ruff!

    Lindy Ruff was not an NHL superstar. Of course there are many players who become coaches. I was talking about Hall-of-fame, superstars. Wayne Gretzky is coaching the Phoenix Coyotes, but beyond that, I can't think of any HOF type who even became a coach, much less a good one.

     

    I'm just responding to the "Hire Jim Kelly" posters who equate playing ability with coaching ability.

  3. You ask people to take emotion out of it, on the day of a blow out, yet you proclaim that this team is the worst in history of the franchise?  Yeah, ok. 

     

    (ps - by getting 4 wins, this team already suprasses than the clunkers of '70s & mid '80s, and late '60s)

    As bad as other Bills teams were, I don't remember seeing one quit like this one. That's why I voted that way.

  4. I am sitting in a room at the Best Western in Amsterdam NY watching MSG post-game, happy that they actually show the Sabres out here. Going back to NH from that abortion at RWS. Happy to have the Sabres to take some of the edge off the Bills fiasco.

     

    By the way, UB won again saturday, beating Rutgers. They are now 8-1 and are developing into another exciting story.

  5. Bob Matthews, on his WHAM talk show, went on about how messed up the Bills are at many levels...from relations with veteran players, to the working atmosphere at One Bills Drive under TD. He really got me thinking that Tom Donahoe is a "Captain Queeg" type of leader, more worried about who took his strawberries that building a winner. It will be nearly impossible to rebuild this team with the cloud over it that Donahoe generates. If he had any honor, he would admit his mistakes and resign, but how likely is that to happen?

  6. You have the right to say what you want. But in a civil society, rules of politeness and manners ought to apply. That doesn't mean you have to kiss TD's rear. You can criticze his job performance, but you don't have the right to insult the man personally.

     

    But do we still live in a civil society?
