  1. His induction was announced in December 2023. He was in Indonesia on vacation. If he is like most people a vacation like that is planned well in advance. Was he supposed to cancel?
  2. I had seen the facility named Love Field someplace else the other day. Hopefully, you have the right name. The other place holds a dark place in American history.
  3. None of these three were run out of UB. All three took positions that were steps up from UB, UCF, UConn and Auburn, respectively. White and Manuel both moved up from where they went left for and are now in the SEC and Big 10. Greene is now at Tennessee working for Danny White again.
  4. We could make the ACC happy and take Notre Dame out of the Big 10 and then find one other school.
  5. Based on the announcement of the scheduling for the next three seasons (before they have to go back to the drawing board with the addition of UMass) the schedule should be release any day. Travel Tip for Out of Towners: If you are going back to Buffalo for a game or games, book your hotels rooms before the Bills schedule comes out. Once that schedule comes out Saturday night rates will go through the roof.
  6. Julius Erving just turned 74. His last two choices for college were UB and UMass. He went to UMass because they hired his high school coach as an assistant. This per former UB man's and women's basketball coach and former AD, Ed Muto. Sprry for the triple post. It did not look like the first attempt was posted.

  9. Separate thread: The Athletics' Nicole Auerbach beat Thamel by three minutes.
  10. The MAC has its fair share of football only schools. It does not work. Neither does football independence for schools other than Notre Dame and possibly Army and Navy. At some point UConn will have to bite the bullet and join.
  11. UMass is back, for all sports, per The Athletic. How long for UConn?
  12. Magic number to go Cleveland is one. Although looking at the standings it would appear to be two, but UB beat Miami and swept Ohio. So a UB win or a loss by either Miami or Ohio sends UB to Cleveland.
  13. Calhoun told Reggie that night that he was never coming back to UB to play. UNC came as part of three game deal. Their top guard was Ed Cota, whose high school coach was on staff at UB, Roc Eisenberg.
  14. Ditto the UConn game (from the reports I heard) the night before the Ball State MAC Championship Game in Detroit.
  15. Football and basketball fly charters already.
  16. Contact UB Athletic Compliance and they will guide you as to what has to be done to start a NIL collective, then call a lawyer. By the way the last time I was in Buffalo, I spoke with people in the Athletic Department about a way to start an NIL fundraiser. But because of the change that would occur to do what I had suggested, they would have to find another way to fill the whole in their budget caused by the loss of income. Actually give aways do bring extra people to games. In the dark days of the Horace Clarke era for the Yankees, Bat Day would sellout every year, 67,000+. The rest of season 20,000 was a good crowd, Also as someone posted someplace here, on Tuesday a large percentage of the students left after the winner of the Drake tickets was announced. So people went to the game for a giveaway. Sometimes people will go to a game for the halftime show, i.e. Tony Hawk at a football game years ago.
  17. But would those people have gone to the game if there was no beer? There is a difference between enjoying something that is offered for sale and only going because it is available. As I said if you need to be able to have a beer at a game to go to a game you may have a problem.
  18. I understand the need for NIL. The people in power in Athletics know this as well. The question is who is going to set it up. TheCommish types a game, but has done nothing to raise any NIL money, other than saving UB needs 440 people to put up $10,000.00 each on average and asking me for $150.00. My position was against selling beers because, it is not going to bring one extra person to a game and because you cannot sell any to students, except some seniors and graduate students (ah for the good old days and 18 year old drinking laws, DAMM MADD). I have not seen UB's numbers on beer sales, but for the initial year the money raised at Ohio University was negligible. I also do not know if the Athletic Department gets any of the money from the sale of beer on campus. All alcohol sales on campus are controlled FSA d/b/a Three Pillars Catering. As for your position on beer, you were in favor of it until after the Baylor game on a Friday night. You then came out against it because of the amount of issues in the stands that night. Not sure when or why you switched back. Even with NIL money, facilities can make a difference where a student goes. Between the fieldhouse and new training facility, with NIL being equla it will give UB an advantage.
  19. In a video yesterday she was throwing brick according to the coach. You could hear the shots clanging off the rim. She seemed to be moving ok in the background.
