I agree. Additionally if all goes well we might be able to see a good amount or both Myers and vantrease to see how each manages the game. Just saw on espn we are something like 44 point favorites

The bills browns and lions all draw large crowds in the beginning of seasons when there is still hope. Have you ever been to a bills game in December when playoffs have been out of the picture for weeks? It’s empty. That goes for all teams once hope is lost. People stop coming to the games

Wow I dig it. I feel like a lot of times coaches just go for the experience and are scared to put the young players in if it’s somewhat close. This must mean that Myers impressed LL enough to give him the nod and honestly that’s really exciting. Let’s see what he’s got and start getting him game experience NOW. GO BULLS

I think that’s pretty much everywhere

I don’t think it’s necessarily converting we need to do. I don’t think bills and bulls fans need to be mutually exclusive. Last season opened up the eyes of a lot of people in the community which is fantastic. We need consistent success and more and more people will start supporting the college sports. Overall our success is recent. The first steps are done. Now we need to keep the ball rolling.

The AAC decided to stay at 11 teams for this year. They prob didn’t have much of a choice as there wouldn’t have been enough time to make big changes this close to the season. UBAD was quoted somewhere saying he was happy with being in the MAC but it kinda sounded like just a general answer as to not stir up the pot right now. AAC commissioner said something along the lines of them not looking for anyone right now but if schools want to pitch to them they’ll listen. It all just sounds like formalities while I bet there’s a lot of talk going on behind the scenes. If I was an AD at a school hoping to get in to the AAC you know I’d be working like hell to try and sell the program. While travel would definitely be tough it’s just a major step up (while not too big to hope for like Big10. Nobody will ever move from the MAC to a P5 school). It’s the logical next step if you really want to be a reputable program and really build a brand. It makes this year especially important for football and both MBB and WBB. If we can have more success with other Olympic sports that also helps. But our biggest downfall is the success is recent and nowhere near consistent. I don’t think we need a 10 win season again in football but just having a winning record would be huge. Give us the opportunity to have a bowl game victory on our resume. We need consistency. As for basketball I think both men and women need to be competitive. This athletic year is almost upon us. LETS GO BULLS

I have to assume more MAC games will be put on espn+. I think they move things around once they see how teams are doing and adjust tv channels and broadcasts accordingly. We got a lot of tv time last year because of the success

For me my head says 5-7 and heart says 7-5. I’m really excited about our running game and from what I’ve heard, the defense should be solid. Would love for us to keep the momentum rolling. One thing I’ve heard nothing about is the kicking. Anyone have any clue who our kicker is and how they seem??

Definitely haven’t seen any practices but I’m assuming vantrease. I remember him coming in after injuries hurt us a couple years back. Seemed decent and has had time to develop. That being said I’m interested in Myers and am all about the young new qb and getting them experience ASAP.

That part about our backs catching passes also really stood out to me. Could be a critical part in our offense to help out a new starting qb. Like what I hear

I love that it feels like we got the last laugh there by beating them in the dome last year but I still wish we could come to some kind of agreement to play every year. Would be a cool NY battle

I’m hoping for the best too but I think we return less starters on defense than we do on offense this year which could be rough. I think if we have a successful year it’s going to be driven by our experience and talent at o-line and the RBs just going off

Been pretty quiet around here pre-football season and I’ve been starved for some UB talk. Loved the show! Not to spam on the general thread but your account isn’t accepting private messages. Was wondering what it would take for me to possibly join you guys sometime. I’d love to be a part of it but not sure if you’re looking for another person. Let me know!

I’m all for it. In the grand scheme of things it probably won’t make a huge difference money-wise but I’m a firm believer that every dollar helps. Plus it keeps us up to date with what other colleges are doing and I think it helps the gameday experience. The biggest worry I have is that people get home from the games responsibly

Never mind I see there is a full discussion about this all on a b-ball thread

Not really sure what to make of this. Like seeing our revenue on top of the MAC but still so far from other schools. I’m not sure I understand the allocated section either since that’s 75% of our revenue. Is that money from bowl games or playing at bigger schools?

I saw a quick video of it on youtube but there wasn't much to it

Pretty awesome. Great matchup with UCONN

I kept it because I forgot I had it... ugh I hate that they got me

I’d be more than happy with that MAC record but if we can be 5-3 in MAC we can get more than 1 OOC win. Still 6-6 or 7-5 in a rebuilding year would be a ok by me

I’m fully on the boat for wanting us to move to the AAC I just don’t think it will happen. We have more issues than just facilities. Barring something special both football and basketball are going to take a major step backwards next year. Football has a history of being awful let’s be honest. We’ve had about 3 random good years. While attendance spiked this year I’m sure and I have no doubt playing better teams in the AAC would draw more fans we also have a pretty poor history with attendance too. Still have my fingers crossed hard.

I just saw on the r/collegebasketball subreddit that there’s rumors flying around about UCONN moving back to the big east. As of right now rumors are all they are but that would open up a spot in the AAC if it comes to fruition. I know people are kind of split here on whether or not they would want Buffalo to take their spot but things could get interesting given the recent success of our athletics

Something tells me that we might do a lot of runs next year lol

It truly is still surreal

Segu posted to his Instagram today a thank you to Hodgson. In it he says “rooting for y’all unless y’all play us”. I like the sound of that
