That is some impressive research and work. Bravo!

I’ll take this one step further. Remember when Reggie was fired. Keith Dambrot and many others said, “you cannot win. It is extremely difficult to win at UB!”  I knew that was nonsense then just as it has been proven to be. We have a huge university. We have tons of alums all over the country. We have a sports crazed market here in WNY. There have been all sorts of first time fans out this year. I’ve seen their commentary on social media. I’ve seen and talked to them in person at AA. The students were fired up last night. All it takes is having the right people in place to have success and then to maintain and build on that success. Which is way it is of massive importance that we retain Nate so the maintenance part of that equation continues. Go Bulls!

Agree 100%. Very important to express to Mark Alnutt either in person, email or other forum to retain Nate and this coaching staff. The amount of revenue increase from the last number of years in ticket sales, concessions and apparel sales has to be unprecedented and we need to keep this momentum going. Go Bulls!!!!

I was there for the largest crowd pre-renovation and it was great...can only imagine what yesterday was like. Two more home games left. I suspect senior night will break yesterday’s post renovation record. I also love that you guys are all making plans for Cleveland. Soon we can make some big dance plans too!

Same, it was awesome...the bleachers were swaying. Probably the reason why they needed to be changed out! No elbow room, that's for sure.

I still have my Mighty Maniacs shirt somewhere.  Probably my parent's attic.
