Well there you have it...……….
I'm glad that I am not allowed to live with any false illusions of UB having an actually good team any longer. Good to know it was three point shooting, not talent, that helped UB accomplished what it did.
Nate Oats has not tweeted or otherwise challenged the content.....so it must be true.

Forgot to mention.........
Sept 14 ...... UB @ Liberty 6:00 pm ESPN+
Nov 14 ...... UB @ Kent 7:00 pm CBSSN
-
Sept 07/19.................@ Penn State - 7:30pm on FOX
Oct 05.........………...…..Ohio @ UB … 3:30pm
Nov 20..................…...Toledo @ UB … 7:30pm (br.r.r)
We already knew the Robert Morris game on Thursday the 29 is a 7:00pm kickoff.

Who would want to play at our stadium? Syracuse's stadium is +/- the awfulness of ours (depending on how much orange is around me) and their "best" OOC team is:
2019 - WMU
2020 - Liberty
2021 - Rutgers
2022 - Notder Dame (if it doesn't get moved), Purdue if it does
2023 - Army
2024 - Ohio
Of those, we'll play all but RU and ND/Purdue at home in the same time frame.
Fair point...so what, New York teams suck?

...is Danny White, of State University of New York fame headed back to Ole Pis….'er Ole Miss? Bjork has moved along to Texas A&M...….after all the National Football Championships that Danny gave himself at UCF, I would guess he is a lead candidate...unless smarter (cooler) heads prevail.
No flies on that guy....

It just struck me that over the next five years (2020 - 2024) UB has 14 games scheduled OOC....10 of them are road games, including next year where UB plays 3 of 4 OOC games on the road. Time for the AD to get us a home and home or two, and start to lock in some more game for UB Stadium. With only six more OOC games to be scheduled to fill that slate, I'm hoping that at least 5 of them will be @ UB...….
I hate 5 home game seasons....even if seasons tickets cost less. We sold our soul for cash in 2020....let's hope this is not a trend. Does ADMA know what he is doing with football scheduling? I don't recall anything since his appointment.
So, the updated version now shows 16 OOC games scheduled for 2020-2024 (with the addition of UMass in that window). UB now has 11 road OOC games and now two seasons when they have but one OOC home game. To put it in perspective, the marquee home games for 2020-2024 will be:
2020 - St. Francis
2021 - Coastal Carolina
2022 - unknown, yet likely an FCS team; UB has three road games at FBS stadiums scheduled now
2023 - Liberty
2024 - UMass
(Bonus info 🙂 )….
2025 - ???
2026 - UMass
2027 - ???
2028 - UMass
Please save me any economics lessons. Anyone inspired by the scheduling job being done by UB? For comparisons sake, NIU has marquee home games: vs BYU, Wyoming, Vanderbilt, Tulsa and UMass over the same (2020-2024) period. Just saying.....
I renewed my seasons and made another donation to The UB Foundation.....and I will continue to do so, God willing. But my word.....

Hope the Bulls get one of the Bahamas Bowl, or the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl....but any bowl would be good!

Like this 6 game series with you Lake people. Some chatter about the great time people had in Buffalo during the Frozen Four.

How are things in "your" Amherst? Trust the tequila is still flowing 🙂
Always fun playing UMass. My only regret has nothing to do with UMass. Rather, it's that UB has destined itself to another 5 home games season (2022)….if you act small, you are small. No doubt I will get a lecture on economics...……..

Semi-serious. Is there a rule against scheduling MAC teams for the non-conference? Perhaps only teams that aren't already on the schedule for that year.
Not sure if the MAC has such a rule, but ACC does not...………..North Carolina and Wake Forest are playing an OOC game this year.

From Murray State to the State of Murray...hard spot behind the #1 pick, but I hope he makes it. While Kyler has been very resilient to this point, every backup is only one injury away....
-
Not sure what guys in rounds 4-7 get. What I do know is that if you are chosen at 103 vs not chosen, it says that someone values you more....so I am guessing that I could buy your bridge. Tyree will only see the field if some guys get hurt...….he will get slivers from his clipboard before he gets meaningful reps (short of injury time). He made a horrible decision. I'll look forward to seeing him in Canada for a cup-of-coffee.
Look at who teams valued ahead of him...……….hm.m.m.m.

Sigh....
-
Only 11 more chances...then Arizona will pick Mr. I....don't think after Kyler, they will go to a QB...
Not sure whether guys get drafted or not...UDFA might be better.
-
28 more picks...then he can join Chad Kelly....Mr Irrelevant!
-
Tyree should become the poster boy for UB's "stay in school" campaign moving forward...

Tyree and his dad must have a knot in their stomachs right now. They probably got sold a line on TJs potential in the draft. The reality is all the QBs are sliding. It's a weak class and Jackson is in the lower half of the pack. Hope someone grabs him. Same goes for all the Bulls. It's been rough for AJ83 too.
The muscles down low must be getting tighter...

Panthers are in the market for a backup QB to Newton. Reports say their preference is Will Grier from WVU but if they miss out on him, Tyree could be a good fit for them.
Well, Carolina got their man (Will Grier)...question now will be who is looking for a project?

I wonder if that school down the road from us will do a home and home with us. They're already doing a home and home with another MAC school (WMU), and if they're worried about getting embarrassed they already got that out of the way with the basketball team.
Great point about the bb embarrassment....but, they might want to try to cling to some vestige of pride....before a football throttling 🙂 So my guess is that they continue to dodge UB. Something about better safe than sorry...
Some people go through life worrying about not losing; leaders go looking for victory!

Hopefully we can get a school we never really get to see. Like that Baylor series
Good point...so you need to look for a P5 school that is down....how about Kansas, Oregon State, or Oklahoma (that was a joke, but I would help fill the stadium if UB ever hosted OU at RWS, or New Era, or whatever it is called). Outside the P5, UConn, Cincinnati (they are not down, but might be looking for a home and home) and Syr...oh no, they won't play UB, or Wake Forest might be a good fit.
Within the G5, how about Georgia State, Georgia Southern, Try (boo-hiss), Marshall or Navy?
Let's get some games booked.....

Time For Some Future Home Games...
in Buffalo Bulls Football
Posted
Two points...…..
1) I get the need for cash; I will always hate "5 home game" schedules.....has bottom feeder written all over it; and before it is suggested, I already donate to the Blue and White Foundation.
2) I love going to service academy games; if you have never been to one of the "Commander in Chief" games, try it the first time you can. They are exhilarating and have a way of bringing a person back to why the game is played for other than cash...and this from a Canuck.
