Toss in UB will always be about education more than sports tbh. Northern Illinois to the MW is a bit of a joke. Was that invite based on just beating ND? Because if you look at NIU's history they are the definition of mediocrity. Maybe the Mountain West thinks NIU is a Chicago school? Ogbanna was not that great a QB. He had some good throws but he was slow processing in the pocket and would get sacked often. And when running he would get in trouble running sideways rather than forward. I'm not that broken up over him leaving. As for UB, SUNY barely gives a crap about athletics. Maybe that's for the better; one university system that isn't a slave to the NCAA. But it's a little surprising Buffalo hasn't even gotten a sniff from another conference. not even the lowly Conference USA! UB needs more financial boosters to get to the next level.

PromoTheRobot Posted March 5 Posted March 5 UB Football schedule announced! Couple of points: This year is a rare 7-5 home/away schedule. UB will play 7 home games. I'm a little surprised they didn't try to get a second pay-for-play date with a P5 school. They do open at Minnesota. More home dates mean more potential UB/Bills game weekends. Always nice to have. One away game is at UMass, a mere 2 hours drive for me. Only two mid-week "MACtion" games. (@CMU 11/12, vs MIA 11/19) Which is good because Tuesday/Wednesday games suck. But take note of the final game: Friday Nov. 28, "Black Friday." UB played a Black Friday at what was then Ralph Wilson Stadium against Bowling Green in 2014, their 2nd largest home attendance game, over 26,000. I wonder if that might happen again? @Buffalo716 Time to update this to "2025 UB Football Thread." 1 Quote

Historically they are tough at home .. Minnesota typically has to win the bulk of their home games to have a solid Big ten season They have a fantastic running back coming back and a three or four starters on the offensive line I think They do have a brand new quarterback and the Walter Payton award winner from the FCS.. obviously takes a lot of talent to do that but going to your first true FBS football game might bring some nerves I definitely would probably take the bulls with the points on the spread and yes I do think there is a chance for an upset Probably a 20% chance but that's better than nothing Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted July 19 Posted July 19 Not much to report. They did just have a home opener special: 4 tix and a $15 credit at Anchor Bar for $68. Don't forget season opener is on Big Ten Network vs Minnesota, Thursday 8/28 8pm ET. Quote
