HUUUGE game tonight at 7pm on ESPNU: Ohio @ Miami OH...the team that hung 42 on UB last week. If Ohio loses, that pretty much clinches the MAC East for UB. All they would need to do is beat dead-last Bowling Green the following week. Then I'm booking my flight to Detroit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for the bigger stage outside of the MAC if the Bulls are to be considered a top 25 team as we were talking about before I want them to be the team that give's Ohio (the preseason favorite) its only bloody nose, than hopefully lay some wood on Northern Illinois in the MAC Championship. I know we would need other teams to lose, but I would be stunned if the Bulls got to 12-1 and weren't in the top 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Nice win by UB,.. pretty boring actually. They emptied the bench like 3 mins into the 3rd Qtr. That Patterson kid is an awesome RB. The Bulls have great depth at RB and last night was all about keeping the ball on the ground in those conditions. Ohio is playing their best ball right now and I think they beat Miami tonight. I *hope* Miami can pull an upset but not counting on it. It's bizarre that UB may have to go undefeated in the MAC to win the East. Winning at Ohio with all the chips on the line will be a tough game for sure. If Ohio wins at Miami and vs. UB, then I give them all the credit. Two tough games and they need em both.

PromoTheRobot Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Seems that UB really did make the Top 25 in the USA Today Amway Coaches Poll. #21 https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2018/11/05/ncaa-re-rank-alabama-clemson-lead-top-25-gets-jumbled/1884409002/ Edited November 7, 2018 by PromoTheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, as far as the game being boring, if you get my drift I don't want that to be something that hurts the Bulls and the conference. Doesn't help that attendance was off due to the MACtion Tuesday and the 45-50 MPH winds. That said, what a show Ohio and Buffalo could put on for the nation next week, especially if something is at stake and both teams are at their best. If you are a college football fan around this country are you going to pass up a Wednesday night game between 9-1 and 7-3 teams that decide a conference division...regardless of what conference it is? Even if I wasn't from here I sure as F*** wouldn't miss it!* * Sorry, the swear word was just indicating my excitement for the game, which should be felt by all college football fans.

Yup. Pay the man, or go back to the unknown and maybe be a bottom feeder again. After we played Rutgers, there was a 5-page thread on their board about Leipold and their fans wanting RU to hire him. His name is out there and it's up to UB administration to keep him around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNY is not known for lavish coaches salaries. That's why WNY'ers need to start filling the stands for football and basketball. A few donor checks would be nice too.

If he gets offered $2M from some P-5 school to bolt, UB can't match that. But maybe he likes WNY and being a big fish in a small pond so to speak. He seems to like stability.... and starting over somewhere else (going through the growing pains process) may not be appealing. Hopefully with the new indoor practice facility on the horizon, any potential new coach would not be starting from scratch anymore. That facility looks really nice. UB should be able to reload in the MAC arms race going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he just bought a million-dollar place on the Niagara River in Grand Island. Part of what might keep him here a little while longer is his wife was being treated for cancer at Roswell Park. (I think she's okay now.) Speaking of, UB is at WVU Friday 9pm on ESPN2. That could be an early calling card for the Bulls. They are already knocking on the Top 25 door. I'm sure Alnutt is talking to Lance. He may not be able to keep him but a new deal at least gives UB a nice buyout if he does go. I think Oats buyout is a million this year and goes down going forward. Same with Legette-Jack. (Not a mil but a significant figure.) Just like Oats was Hurley's assistant and moved up, they'd like to grow their next coaches from their staff of assistants. It's unreasonable to expect to keep great coaches for long time. That's what being a mid-major is all about. But they can play the game right, maintain continuity in the program and stay successful. Then your school gets the rep of being a pipeline to the P5 and you get good people wanting to get on board.
