Lv-Bills Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 On 3/3/2022 at 9:12 AM, PromoTheRobot said: The last round of conference changes showed me that UB is stuck in the MAC forever. Here you have Conference USA get gutted by two rival conferences, The AAC and Sun Belt, and rather than even consider UB they add doormats like New Mexico State and several FCS schools moving up. Neither of the AAC or Sun Belt even considered UB either. Then you have two C-USA schools offered spots in the MAC; Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State. Both chose to stay on the sinking C-USA ship than join the MAC. Besides the obvious problems of UB like stadium and attendance, the bigger problem is Buffalo itself. Pro sports town in the north. Not a college sports market. The northeast, outside of Syracuse, is considered a college sports dead zone. So as long as UB is a D1 school it will always be a MAC school because no one else will have them. Western Kentucky wanted to join the MAC badly, but the MAC wanted MTSU as their partner, and MTSU didn't want to join for some reason. If Western finds a partner, that is suitable to the MAC powers that be, they'll jump ship in a heartbeat. Not sure why MTSU didn't jump ship, but they didn't. That would have been an awesome win for the MAC if it happened. Western is an awesome fit. IMO, Western will be in the MAC sooner or later. The Sun Belt is now the premiere Group of 5 Conference. The teams it already has like Coastal Carolina, App State, Louisiana, Troy, and soon adding James Madison, Marshall, Southern Miss, etc, coupled with the regional footprint they follow with an emphasis still on ticket sales and gameday atmosphere is a winner. When all four new teams are officially in, they add quality, decent attendance, and facilities to an already solid league that was getting better. And it's a Mid Atlantic/Southern league as well. They are a clear winner of the Texas - Oklahoma move to the SEC. I mean, JMU, as an FCS program has better facilities than most of the MAC schools already. The MAC is better than C-USA. Period. There is no reason to jump to C-USA. If any team has a beef about not being in a better conference, it's Liberty. Liberty has ACC like facilities in every sport and a budget to match Power 5 schools. But of course, politics get in the way of that. Liberty would make the Sun Belt a Group of 5 SEC. The AAC........they are still decent, but now irrelevant on a large landscape. They need to accept their role, and make themselves better like the Sun Belt. As for UB, they really don't offer much. They are cool in the MAC. It's too far out of the way for anyone to really want to include them in something bigger. I always thought that the best team or teams to jump ship in the MAC would be Toledo or Ohio. But even them, really, where else do they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 I expect Cole Snyder to lead a revamped UB offense And the resurgence of talent at the DB position I expect a revamped secondary as well that will be able to hold up to the spread offenses in the mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Super Fan Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Maurice Linquist is on the hot seat he needs to get UB bowl eligibility or he should be fired. He torn down a back to back UB Bulls bowl teams. Drove off a lot of our star players under Lance Leipold. I think Maurice Linquist is a good recruiter but his in game decisions making are horrible. UB Bulls Offensive Coordinator Shane Montgomery I don’t even get why he wasn’t let go last year the UB offense was a disaster. I don’t think Rutgers QB Cole Snyder is the answer at QB from what I see so UB QB is a major weakness? After Maurice Linquist drove our back to back starting QB Kyle Vantrease away to Georgia in the Sun Belt Conference. I question a lot of what is going on there with Maurice Linquist this is a make or break year for Maurice Linquist in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls!

May Day 10 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I wonder what the current NCAA landscape will do to the prospects of the Leipolds and the Linguists of the world. You would think there will be even more of an arms race and a lot of retreads among the top 30 or so programs. The Kansases, Arkansases, and Illinoises are facing a much steeper hill at this point. Maybe you can get a payday, but you cannot achieve any success. Bowl games will be tough to come by, and your seat will probably get warm pretty quick. At least in the MAC, you can make a good living, remain pretty safe if you do a reasonably good job, and create a legacy that is better than 3-and-done at Kansas followed by coaching at Bryant and Stratton.

MAC schools, and really every school not in a super conference, has to scout to win, every season. Anyone good will be gone so you have to stock the pipeline endlessly. Plus there will be players who are stuck behind starters at super conference teams that want to be the guy, and can be if they drop down. After all the point is going pro, not winning at college.

A year where a new coach had 100 days to recruit and assemble a staff, done at a time when when every other team was done hiring. Did we all forget about Lance leaving for Kansas late? If anything this tells me AD Mark Allnut is expecting big things from Mo Linguist. He's not going be a coach that sticks around for 5+ years. This extension is probably more about increasing his buyout number. Linguist could well be gone after this year, off to a larger conference. His forte is recruiting and this is the year where recruiting is winning. The MAC got slammed hard by the transfer portal. Every program was flipped upside down. No one knows what anyone's got. But the team that recruits best has the best chance. So here's looking forward to a successful Bulls season.

If UB was a real state flagship our UB Stadium wouldn’t look like it does now with a horrible track and a worse early 2000’s scoreboard horrible.

If you are there long enough you should check out an Orioles game as they are suddenly fun to watch. Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson are two rookies who have recently held the title of "the #1 Prospect" in all of baseball and the team is 9 games over .500. Enjoy the Bulls game!
