damaynman150 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Not sure how many UB sports fans are on this board but as a graduate of UB and a fan of the football and basketball programs, this is interesting to say the least: http://www.wgrz.com/sports/article/167380/4/Former-UB-Guard-Byron-Mulkey-Gets-Tryout-with-Bills My thoughts? Definitely thinking outside-the-box, and it might not amount to much anyways, but Byron is a really good guy and obviously has some athletic gifts (I knew him a little bit from my time at UB). Just probably a case of turning over every stone - which is never a bad thing. Does make me wonder what all of the ACTUAL UB football players who never got an NFL shot are thinking though...

PromoTheRobot Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) I'm a big UB fan and this is surprising. Has to be quite the long shot having not played football for so long. Marcus Rivers, a WR for UB from Lakawanna signed a UDFA deal with the Packers, joining friend James Starks. UB has a nice string of players in the NFL. Trevor Scott, Starks, Naaman Roosevelt, Jamey Richard, etc. Not sure how many more will get the chance with the moron coaching them now.

damaynman150 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Lurker, I hope you're right sir. I was a sophomore when the team won the MAC championship and it was a great time to be a Bulls fan. Since then, not so much... That said, there is a linebacker they have Khalil Mack who will certainly be drafted in the 2014 draft (possibly as a mid-round pick) and carry on some tradition. I always was hoping Davonte Shannon would get another shot too [Thinks to myself: Wouldn't he have a better chance than Byron Mulkey??] Edited May 2, 2012 by damaynman150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said Coach Quinn is under contract for at least 2 more seasons. UB can't afford to buy him out like the big boys can. Lurker, I hope you're right sir.

He was injured in training camp last year. Does he get invited back to SJF this year? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
