Buffalo716 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 10 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: The Bills have had a few UB players. There is a practice squad cornerback, Cam Lewis, from UB. The running back, Patterson, reminds me of Singletary. But he's two years from the draft. I would definitely bring Ladarius Mack in as a UDFA. He hasn't had the college career of his famous brother but he shows flashes. And more flashes later in his senior year. Could be a late bloomer. That's probably all Mack could be is an undrafted free agent. he isn't even the best pass rusher on the Bulls that's Taylor riggins. He's good but he's borderline NFL talent and I think his question was who is eligible this year that the bills could look at so that's why I didn't name a bunch of underclassmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even wears number 26. EDIT - 160+ yards and a TD - is he eligible for the draft. Damn he looks good. No he's only a true sophomore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koonce DPoG. Promo, what a surprisingly nice season with a satisfying ending. Please correct me me if I am wrong, but aren’t they 22-9 in their last 31 games, which I believe includes a 4 game win streak at the end of 2017? at least I know they 18-9 in the last two. Just great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just great. It's too early to do math but that sounds right. This game was by far the best I've seen a Lance Leipold team play. It was Kyle Vantrese's best game as a UB QB. It was the best game for the UB defense, especially Ladarius Mack. Even the kicking that cost us the Ohio game earlier this season was perfect. It felt good to get the bowl game monkey off their backs. This game also makes up, somewhat, for the pathetic choke jobs in the last year. But it's hard to forget 2 blown 4th quarter leads of 21 and 19 points. That keeps me from getting too giddy over that 18-9 record. But looking at the big picture, UB football, and basketball, have come a long long way from 15-20 years ago when just winning a game, any game, was an accomplishment. This game also got me thinking about conferences. Conference USA, which Charlotte belongs to, is made up of many large urban public universities, in cities like Houston, Miami, and San Antonio. Schools that are more like UB than the directional Michigan schools in the MAC. I wonder if UB ought to try and get in that group since it seems the American is not that interested. Either way, I think they need to leave the MAC eventually. Edited December 21, 2019 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, you know my feelings with respect to the last choke loss and I won’t go back into here as it will...get my blood up. ? Dare I say this, and forgive me for it, but if this team is 9-3 through 12, wins the MAC and then wins a bowl then I think an 11-3 team, and 21-7 in 2 years gets programs really sniffing around Lance, even given his age. I know the bigger programs like the younger guys, but I a, just home we get a continued run with LL. Honestly would be something I’d the man is here another 5 years or so.

Either way, I think they need to leave the MAC eventually. It is a great thing. At the very least, the programs have established long-term residency in the top 3rd-quarter of the MAC, which is pretty outstanding progress. Conference USA seems like it has become a South-locked conference. Logistically, for all sports, it sounds like a much worse option than the MAC, and I don't think it is that large of an upgrade. It did sound like the AAC didnt rule out expanding. They put it on the backburner. I feel like if Buffalo was really motivated to make it happen, they could do it.

zow2 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Things worked out pretty lucky for the 9 Bulls players who participated in Wednesday's Pro Day. I believe within hours that evening, the plug was pulled on all Pro Day's around the country at various schools. NFL Scouts pulled their guys back. Imagine working that hard to prepare for it and having your day cancelled. So many disappointments for athletes around the country this spring.
