"Kinda crazy"? Is having a competent coach "crazy"? This team would be a million miles better under the old regime. Sorry, he wasn't Nate and never was going to be, but he was a solid coach. Now look at what we have. Why don't we give him 5 more years while we're at it? I mean, this year we can't count because "these aren't his guys" or "he lost an entire team". Next year's excuse will be "these guys are young and growing into the system". The following year will be "we need more money and support". By then, maybe we'll have 10 total wins under this regime, but I'd wager against it, unless they schedule 15 games with Roberts Wesleyan. This is so sad to watch the absolute disaster that this has become. Watching long time fans and supporters walking out with 10 minutes to go last night, shaking their heads, one after another. You could've heard a pin drop pretty much the entire 2nd half. The only time there is noise is when a t-shirt is being tossed into the crowd. I made it to 0:00, but my head was in my hands. As I walked past the Ball State fans (all 20 of them who made the trip) I overhears one of them say "we were louder than all of their fans" to which I casually replied "you see the product we have, right?". One season ticket holder, Courtside, even mentioned casually that he's likely not renewing next year. This is not good whatsoever, with absolutely zero light at the end if the tunnel, only deeper darkness.

Last 2 home games were 1 basket spreads. UB has lost both of those games by nearly 50 total points. I'd love to know how often that's ever happened before. What a far cry from the days when people bitched about only winning by 8 at home because it hurt our net rank. What a far cry from leaving a game after the conclusion and saying I enjoyed my past 2 hours. I honestly think it will be worse next year, and this is the worst product here since pre-2000. Sadly, I still feel that this team has enough skilled players to actually win some games. They are not a 1 win roster. But the one in charge is.

In the end, there's nowhere to go but up from where Mo took this program. As long as he doesn't do to the football team what is currently happening with men's basketball, it is a big time win. There's a lot of work to do with this roster, starting at the QB spot, so hopefully he can bring one (or more) quality guys in immediately! There is no reason why UB can't be at or near the top of the MAC year in and year out, so if we aim for that, hopefully we can at least get to the point of being competent again.

Can't be worse than what we've had the past 3 years.

Without him UB athletics would still be at the bottom on the MAC with regard to their infrastructure. It's pretty sad that someone could have anything negative to say regarding his positive impact on UB. There's no one more worthy of a spot in the HoF than him.

Well, he surely did a great job with the recruiting. This year's class is currently ranked last in the MAC. The quality players that we had returning have transferred out. We currently have no real QB right now, with the previous starter transferring to the powerhouse that is EMU and no QB signees in this current class. Sounds like a heck of a job. Whoever the new head coach is can hit the portal and promise someone a starting QB job. Fun times ahead I'm sure.

How telling is it when pretty much the entire fan base (as small as it seems to be these days anyway) is either happy that Mo is gone or basically in the mindset of "whatever"? It's incredible to me that someone who made $2mil+ here, with incredibly subpar results, is being hailed as a "great hire" by those online and by the fans of Alabama. What has he ever done? Prior to UB's <.400 record (including .333 versus FCS teams) he left the "co-DC" job before even coaching a game. What a racket this guy has made for himself.

All that means is that predicted "bad" teams are getting wins while we haven't been. It only will leave us further behind in the end unfortunately, in the quest towards a top 8 slot.

He loves UB, Buffalo, and all of his players, coaches and people here. There ya go.

Nice win on the road in an evenly matched game.

Brutal charge call there.

Diovion? Is he even on the team? Those 5 (looks more like 4) look like bottom 5 in the ncaa quality, and that's if they all stay. Why anyone would want to stay on a 1 win team is beyond me. I guess we should just give a pass on a 1 win team since it's his 1st year.

So what would that leave us for next year? A very lean roster, much worse than this year's...scary.

Only top 8 go. Been that way for a couple years.

Gotta make it to the tournament first.

Good call on Nickelberry. Graham and he are similar. Totally appear to be the part and then offer far far less. Kanye no show. Z in street clothes. McVeigh is just so pedestrian out there.

Good half overall. Some sloppiness, but being tied is great. We'll see whether or not Kowalczak shows GH3 his experience during the 2nd half, or if this can be his coming out party.

He loves Buffalo and UB, he said it all the time. 14-23 here. Anyone can replicate that...well maybe not, as shown by the basketball team.

Well, it won't be Mo Love the timing of the email notice.

It should be another game where I'm on the edge of my seat.

Let's see what happens after halftime adjustments by Groce.

Your prediction seems accurate. Hopefully we're both way, way off as that's the only way we can get a W tonight.

Well, at least there's more than 3. Good battle back. Need a big finish!

Unfortunately the game has 4

Coming out fighting. They want to beat that 🤡. After last year, this is a "get up" game.
