Tim Tebow Tyree Jackson Jordan Matthews Tyree Jackson has the best shot at making a PS. I dont want to go on too much of a limb because of Meyer's obsession with Tebow, but the other two would be cuts to me. Matthews' knees are shot, and Tebow is kind of long in the tooth for a position switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills8323 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Was at the FT vs Pats game last night, my buddy had a few tickets and is a die hard FT fan. Was first row behind the skins bench. Was trying to get Fitz to come over all night. Had to settle with a couple smiles and a peace sign. Actually was able to get the attention of all the former Bills players I saw there besides Logan Thomas. Told Dustin Hopkins to shake off those misses (he was super friendly wish he the best) and even got a response from Patterson pointing to my Bills Jersey saying it all started in Buffalo (UB). He actually gave me the thumbs up and a laugh too wish COVID didn't exist and the players could have gotten a bit closer. GO bills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect when a guy is 29, 6'4", and lighter than 210, it's already been suggested to him a few times that he add 30 lbs and convert to TE It's probably not something his frame is able to do and maintain athleticism 7 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: I got laughed at suggesting Kumerow could play TE.

We have another conference reshuffling coming up, thanks to Texas and Oklahoma. I really hope UB can move up. Ideal landing spot would be the American. That conference needs a new Northeast school to replace UCONN. More likely Conference USA tho. The dream move would be to the Big Ten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're starting to get recruits that used to go to Syracuse.. the Domino is going to fall within 5 or 10 years I think there's almost no chance they ever make a lateral move to conference USA ... They will wait for a big ten opening if they ever move That was the plan 20 years ago.. to be a major conference School.. UB is the flagship University of New York..

First the bills are never leaving.. second UB could never fill the void no matter how much I love them And again this isn't a three or five year plan.. building a major college football program isn't a three or five year plan It's a 30 to 50 year plan.. legitimately.. and in the next 10-15 years you're going to be seeing massive growth The only thing keeping them back in the next 15 years is a nicer stadium.. which obviously would be hard to get But UB spends more than Rutgers spent before they moved to the Big ten.. the move to the Big ten dramatically increased Rutgers revenue... They weren't making it before UB is absolutely on footing with Rutgers minus a stadium.. we probably have better football talent as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't shocking to see UB drop baseball and the like UB football doesn't even make money.. but it's partially because they are in the MAC.. Rutgers football revenue went up almost 50% just by joining UB still has the biggest sports revenue in the MAC.. it's outgrowing it and will be too big in 15-20 years Edited August 15, 2021 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
