  2. With all of the negative exposure from Sat’s game from the student section I was glad and impressed with the memo from the UB president. I would hope most of the students and fans understand their is no place with that type of vulgarity and language at sporting events. Also I am sure there are still many who like the one student who used the “It’s a free country and you should be able to say anything you want”, We were raised by our parents with certain rules and were always told that all of life decisions came with responsibility and accountability and to always think before you act and to treat others like you want to be treated. Sadly that has been lost in many instances in today’s world and at sporting events. Here’s hoping at our UB games we have passionate students and fans who treat others with respect and dignity. Go Bulls!!!

  4. I'll be there for at least part of the game. Red is hosting my sisters and nieces for a Christmas cookie baking party early in the afternoon. Gotta get out of the house!

  5. The scandal may have involved the enrollment of one player, but it had major repercussions throughout the university. https://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/04/sports/ncaabasketball/slowly-st-bonaventure-is-finding-its-way-back.html

  6. Unfortunately it does matter Derek. We talk about how the program gets tepid support because there's no culture of supporting the program and they're seen as "minor league" because they have traditionally been bad and play in a mid major conference. However, building that culture is a combination of winning (which the team has done the last 5 years) AND getting buy in from the local community. Like it or not, the only exposure most people in WNY will get to the program is through the local media outlets like the Buffalo News, local telecasts, and WGR. It doesn't help that most games can only be watched on subscription ESPN+ online. If the team is going to truly grow the fanbase and generate real local buzz they need the local media to realize this is a big deal and important for the WNY sports scene. Like it or not, WGR and company ARE local trendsetters when it comes to sports in WNY and if these outlets don't treat this like a big deal, the majority of WNY fandom won't either. Like you, I'm tickled pink over what's happening but the lack of knowledge about what's happening around WNY is downright frightening. We all want the program to move up to bigger and better things, and a better conference, but this year suggests that even if they somehow moved to the Big Ten it might not matter to Joe Bill's Fan, and that's a problem for the long term viability of the program to compete on a high level. You are right about your Sabres point, and I agree. Buffalo as a sports town is a complete myth. Buffalo is a BILLS town and occasionally Sabres when they do something worth noting. Otherwise, we might as well be Miami or Atlanta for the overall support of athletics in WNY.

  7. If we can get 4,400 for LeMoyne we should be able to sell out for SIU. Only hope there will be more media coverage by radio,tv, and UB can put more pressure on the Buffalo News to run some articles during the week. Go Bulls!!!!!

  9. It’s all about the conference. You bring in big name schools like Cuse, Villinova or Uconn to alumni people will come. But until they upgrade in conference, people will dismiss the level of play even though UB is legit good.

  10. Who cares. Ive told you before, this isn't even a hockey town. They ride the Sabres if they are playing well. I dont care what the paper or WGR reports on. In my circles the UB ranked buzz is very real. My extended family as been going nuts this year. We even have a massive group text going for each game. There are even a lot of fans that only came back when UB basketball football starting playing well a couple years back. Everyone but the Bills has the bandwagon effect, even UB. Those of us who are always here just keep moving forward. I enjoy the national coverage, which we get more of honestly. I just honestly am having too much fun with this season to get upset about local media who aren't worth the time any way.
