I just hope Lance Leipold decides to play the full 60 minutes and use his best players.

 

Its up to players to play hard every play all game... coaches can only do so much... it’s a championship game I’m sure he told them at half to keep it up... the players need to sustain it

 

just like it’s up to Tyree to NOT throw to AJ... Leipold isn’t telling Tyree to not throw to AJ for 1.5 quarters 

 

the QB is pulling the trigger and AJ was running routes out there

Dollar General !! That big money right there. Those places are everywhere.

 

 

 

It's actually not a bad bowl considering UB lost the MACC, other than playing in a town that's practically a home game for Troy. It's a weekend game, it's not a week before Christmas, and the payout is decent. And while flights to Mobile from Buffalo are expensive you can fly to New Orleans or Atlanta, rent a car and drive there.

I thought Miami/O was better than E Michigan, W Michigan, or Toledo.

 

 

I think Buffalo got almost as good as an opponent as they would have gotten if they hung on.  They would have probably just swapped places with N Ill and been in the Boca Raton Bowl vs UAB.  Either way, both opponents are comparable.  UAB won C USA, but whatever.  

 

The big loss was Ohio.  beat Ohio AND win the MAC and we could have seen an upgrade in Bowl and Opponent.

Realistically the big loss was Army. They would’ve won in front of the orange bowl committee. Gotten to 5-0 and 6-0 with their win the next week and possibly ranked .. then they coulda tried running the table

 

the only way for a bowl upgrade would’ve been to win out and run the tables. Beating Ohio and winning the MACC would’ve just gotten us to boca raton bowl more than likely 

 

they needed to beat army in front of orange bowl committee to get serious looks

I didn't take it that way. I was agreeing.  I was worried UB would end up in Boise or in some Wednesday bowl game.

I have been seriously wondering about what UB will do at the RB spot moving forward the next few years... they are absolutely loaded 5-6 deep on the roster 

 

even outisde side of Patterson , Marks, Reed... they will have senior Hawkins, Theo Anderson and Current Freshman Dylan Mcduffie...

 

i wonder if there will be a tranfer situation

Also a airport in Panama City Fl. that might be closer than driving from Atl. 

 

Family Dollar and Dollar general are billion dollar businesses. Crazy as that may seem. Pulling for Troy in this one guys sorry.

I'll be there.  My brother and I are driving down from Atlanta!

We went down for the Senior bowl when Tim Tebow played in it and let me tell you the wind coming off the bay in the middle of winter is no joke. Rented a room off the bay to be all romantic. Literally froze my butt off the entire time I was there.

....sorry but I'm sticking with the preeminent "716", well connected collegiate expert for several reasons who said that Jackson is a long way off.......this guy knows his stuff period.....forecasts WR Anthony Johnson as an available 3rd.....doubt him because of his QB Coach Culley support all you want......sure it is an opinion, but do not underestimate this guy's knowledge.....

Appreciate it buddy.

 

and idk why people get all in an uproar over my Culley opinion lol

 

he is a much better coach than any of us and has the respect of McDermott and Allen. And I can see the growth in Allen

Tyree Jackson is rumored to be going to a P5 conference team as a graduate transfer to play his final season.  He most likely threw his last pass and lost his final fumble for the Bulls.

good luck to him.  I think the program will be fine. UB has other QBs in the pipeline that could be good.

That was the worst football awareness play I've ever seen. He had an easy gain if he ran. Plenty of time to throw it away. Terrible ball security. Just terrible all around

 

That’s saying a lot from a Bills fan

Troy wasn’t a cool name when I was in school, those given it didn’t help matters.

I'm trying to understand what happened to TJ this year. He's a totally different QB since the before the Army game. I saw him live vs Temple and E. Michigan and he looked impressive. Then Anthony Johnson went down and his game suffered. But even when AJ came back, Tyree looked lost and the offense got very conservative.  So is it TJ or coaching?

 

I happened to sit next to Tyree's dad at the MAC Championship in Detroit and we asked him what his son was thinking and he was pretty tight-lipped. But I got the sense he blamed the coaches for blowing that 19-point lead by getting too conservative.  So it wouldn't shock me if he'd want his kid to go to a "real" program for a year.  Jackson's NFL stock plummeted the second half of this season.
