  1. Wouldn't you rather have a Josh-Allen style QB as a backup? Someone who can use his legs?
  2. Football isn't "ruining" other sports.
  3. For someone who seems to hate the program, you know a lot about UB sports.🤷‍♂️
  4. They lost to Vandy and Oklahoma. 🙄
  5. 43-7 win over Kent State. Bulls are now 8-4/6-2 in conference. If Ball State and Bowling Green win Friday, UB plays in the MAC Championship. Also Lembo's first year record (8-4) is the best in a coach's first year in UB history.
  6. I thought all seats were going to come with a PSL? Only standing room wouldn't have them.
  7. Nobody goes to weeknight games. They do 15K on Saturdays.
  8. They've been a football school longer than a basketball school. Three of their programs (football, men's and women's basketball) were ranked Top 25 in the past 10 years. Football is 7-4 right now with a shot to play in the conference championship. Attendance still blows.
  9. You're partly correct. Level of support is more important than TV market size. Interest in and support for athletics within the SUNY system is almost non-existent. Syracuse is now New York State's team anyway. But there is one thing UB has that makes it qualified for the Big Ten: they are a member of the Association of American Universities which all Big Ten schools must be. With their operating budget and paltry NIL, UB will be in the MAC forever, unless a billionaire decides to become their patron, like T. Boone Pickens did for Oklahoma State.
  10. Yes. $29.95. Includes a table for diving and your own personal piss trough.
  11. You forgot to add "love em or hate em?" At the light on the main street at the entrance to our neighborhood cars often blow through the red light for the first five seconds or so.
  12. The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL. https://www.thedali.org
  13. Promotion is key. UB does a lousy job promoting their games.
  14. The best part is you don't even have to pay them a salary. They are still getting paid by the Giants
  15. I heard a story that Lowell liked to play a little game where he'd ask for a light from your lighter and then walk off with it to see if you'd say anything.
  16. That carries a lot of weight. He knows more than I do. I'm just saying I've yet to see him significantly elevate any team he played for. Maybe he was never in the right situation.
  17. Let's not get carried away.
  18. I think the new Highmark is showing there is no such thing as a "little investment" into a new stadium. As for UB stadium, I don't think there is anything that wrong with it. Yeah the track sucks, but it's not like the field is a million miles away from the stands. But why can't you play games at Highmark? I would think adding 5-6 more events to the stadium calendar would be a good thing, a little extra revenue. People are used to football played at Highmark. Sell seats on just one side to save on staffing concessions, security etc. Charge $10 to park, $20-$30 for tickets. 10K attendance would be a healthy number for the UFL.
  19. The UFL is mostly in warm weather markets. But Bills Mafia are tough!! Could we get 10-15K to show up for spring ball? Who wouldn't want a few more tailgate opportunities. Also, our old pal Russ Brandon manages the UFL. https://search.app?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theufl.com%2Fnews%2F2024%2Fnovember%2F25%2Funited-football-league-launches-expansion-process-for-new-team-markets&utm_campaign=aga&utm_source=agsadl1%2Csh%2Fx%2Fgs%2Fm2%2F4
  20. You want a new kicker? Watch spring football. Aubrey, Bates and Koo all came from the XFL/USFL/UFL.
  21. So with Bowling Green beating Ball State Saturday, the only way Buffalo has a shot of making the MAC Championship is if Ball State beats Ohio in Athens. Not very likely. Still a great year and a chance to go 8-4 with a win over Kent State Tuesday, with a bowl to follow.
  22. Members of the CFP committee are holding an emergency meeting right now to figure out a justification to keep Alabama in the playoff bracket. Maybe a #13 seed?
  23. And making it harder to come up with an excuse to put 3-loss Alabama in the CFP.
