I watched the interview with Alnutt. He was surprisingly open about it and you could tell he felt screwed over by Mo at the end. Overall, I think he realizes it was a blessing in disguise, but the process for the end was definitely sketchy and Mo did not hold up his end of the bargain he agree to with Alnutt. It was a refreshingly open conversation. As for Lembo, he is just so much more natural and open. You can tell this is not his first rodeo and he's not out to "prove himself". He has a broad range of contacts in college football and he has been around alot of great people. You can tell he is confident in his organizational skills and is ready to allow his coordinators to be active within the guardrails he sets up. I think we will see immediate results on the field. My one concern is who will be under center, not sure that person is on the roster, but maybe he is depending on the scheme we run.

What a welcome relief from the "football buzzword bingo" of Mo. His experience is so evident, or maybe it is just in comparision of what a bad match Mo was for UB football. Even appeared from Alnutt interview that he recognized his mistake, and the exit of Mo wasn't above board and sincere communications from Mo.

I heard some of the podcast. All i can say is that Pete Lembo sure has a lot of connections around college football and stories. The guy seems like he's super organized and has a plan for the program and structure. Hopefully it all adds up to a watchable product on the field and wins.

I too would like our women’s team to play georgia southern, would be an easier matchup than southern miss.

Yeah like in the 1980’s 40 plus years ago. Times have changed and trust me it’s happening because too many people with big money want it both politically and developers. It doesn’t matter what Tonawanda wants that is like asking Orchard Park what they want from something in Amherst. It simply doesn’t matter if some nimby went to Canisius College or UB or Tim Buck Too university it’s happening. What I have to say or think doesn’t matter. Money matters and the money people want this to connect UB to downtown Buffalo. I would say I would be shocked if it didn’t happen in today’s Buffalo. I am old but I am smart enough to see that power people want it. Just like power people wanted the new Buffalo Bills stadium in Orchard Park. Again do I like that a billion dollar stadium is in a south towns snow belt? No but power people wanted it in Orchard Park. There were a few that tried to stop that but at the end of day the stadium is in Orchard Park. The expanding the transit is the same deal. There are lots of things that I think are a waste of money and time but power wealthy people get what they want. I think redevelopment the Boulevard and Eastern Hills Malls that I grew up in is a waste of time and money. Building outdoor stores in winter wonderland Buffalo when they don’t go to the indoor shopping malls because of online shopping at people’s own homes is a waste of tax dollars and time because I don’t think it’s going to get anymore people to leave the comfort of shopping at home in there pajamas it’s too easy why go out to stand in long lines to shop? But it’s happening in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo

It's a story worth repeating... On Dar's and my first game in 2008 with our new season tickets, we were wandering around looking for our seating seaction/row/seats. A man came up, dressed in a suit and asked if he could help us? We told him we were new tix people and needed to find our seats, etc.. He offered to take us to them, which I graciously declined, but did accept his directions to same. Turns out it was Warde. Since then, I have met another AD who didn't even say hello, but just blew me off at the last UB Kick-Off Luncheon @ The Millenium (sp?) Hotel. Apparently, my booking just one table of eight wasn't enought to merit a hello, or kiss my derrierre, or whatever. His lap dogs did come by and ask what I could do to get more fans from Canada to come to UB...? Who do you thinkk I remember favorably? PS...also met the current AD a couple of years ago. He too, seemed gracious and thoughtful. Competency tbd....I have patience.

Good for him. He was a great guy and AD while he was here.

100% Agree. I like the makeup of the coaching staff too. We have some greybeards and some younger guys. I love the fact he met personally with all 86 players, that really says a lot about him as a human. Let's hope we can find the best use of our talent with our offensive and defensive schemes. I am cautiously optimistic that he can get us back to a high level of play.
