Was watching that game. Dude was on fire. What a path from Buffalo to Iowa to Purdue but I'm happy for him. Don't know if he has what it takes to play on Sunday but would be a great story.

Long time, no post. Missed almost all of the second half unfortunately but really didn't love what I saw for the most part. Some of you mentioned the lack of penalties which is great but I don't know how you all weren't screaming at your TV's when we got 2!!!!!! delay of games on PUNTS!! One shouldn't happen but you can chalk it up to first game jitters. The second one is inexplicable. I was pulling my hair out. Went in with an open mind with Snyder. I know it's only one game with some decent competition on the other side but the dude looked totally lost. Missing easy throws, making awful decisions that should have ended in more picks and most of all you have to make a decision in the pocket. I know it is a revamped o-line but there were many times he had a while to sit back in the pocket looking downfield for plentyyy of time only to get sacked as if he didn't expect pressure to come eventually. Maybe our receivers were getting no separation (which is likely since I only recognize one receivers name) but dang man you gotta make a decision. Throw it, tuck and run...DO SOMETHING. There were times I was screaming at my TV (again) just for him to make a decision already. It was no surprise when he got sacked. Overall it's game one and I'm still hopeful we can improve and end this year with a decent record.

My ears are bleeding. Why is the production quality so low and the announcers so terrible. And this interview with the president is a super cringe

Id also say thats a lateral move at best. AAC or bust for now.

Can someone remind me when we find out the bowl selections? Is it just anytime now or do they wait until after conference championships? I couldn’t remember

I was watching USC at 3-4 Colorado Friday night and the place looked packed. Maybe it’s also just the feeling of an enclosed stadium. It makes all the difference in the world

Thank you so much I didn’t know that. Got to watch the replay. Lots of good stuff. Little bit of rust and a lot of new players that I need to learn their names. Hard to tell still but we will know more soon as competition ramps up. Couldn’t see the student section from the feed but they sounded pretty darn good for an exhibition game. I’m hoping it keeps growing once we get into the regular season. So freakin pumped that bball is back

This team is just so inconsistent. I know 5-7, 6-6 and 7-5 are still completely possible and the 2 latter of those are what I would’ve considered a win before the season started but it’s just frustrating to see how well they can play at times thinking of what could’ve been if not for a missed kick etc. Too many times we do something great only for the next drive we watch either the offense sputter to a terrible 3 and out or the defense lets a team march 75 yards down the field in about 5 plays. I’m still feeling hopeful about the season and making it to a bowl game but it’s going to get harder next week. Hoping this team can get a signature road win. Akron doesn’t count. I keep trying to tell myself that sitting at 4-4 is better than what I expected before the season started. I truly think we have the talent to beat eastern but who knows what kind of football we will put on the field Ive been a firm believer that we need to do everything possible to get that open AAC position in order to advance the athletics program. App state being undefeated doesn’t help whatsoever but if we can somehow manage to win 3 of the next 4 and be 7-5 going to a bowl game it would be huge. Looking for b-ball to help us out some in a “down” football year

Not being able to see the game I appreciate all the feedback. They didn’t do the banner lifting since it was an exhibition right? Can’t wait to see our updated banners... UB basketball is building a CULTURE

I totally got the feeling we were going to lose the game too. We were just handing it to Akron but like you said we are lucky they are even more awful. I’m so conflicted with this team because they’ve shown flashes of playing extremely well. Winning 4 or 5 more I’d say pretty slim but even if we win say 2 more and end 5-7 that’s still a hell of a lot better than the 2-10 Quinn days

There are some things about LL that I haven’t been totally happy with, especially halftime adjustments and getting the team to come out with a fire in the second half (or lack there of) but I’d still be upset to see him go. I really don’t want another coaching change and more “building a new system” which inevitably means a couple down years. Also many of us thought this year was going to be really really rough after all of the player turnover but we are sitting at 3-4 with a win over temple and an OT loss to Ohio. Yesterday’s win was ugly as anything and I think we play to the level of our opponents but I still think it’s very possible to get to 6 wins which is fine by me in a year we thought would be really really bad. LLs ceiling can be questioned but the floor is much higher than past coaches and I’m all for that.

For me it’s Ohio too. I know we aren’t really their rival but that’s the only team that I really can’t stand. Same thing with basketball...hate Ohio. I was in school during the dj cooper days and the almost fight that broke out after a home game the one time with javon McCreas mom apparently and then dj came to the student section and tried to rip apart the famous poster of him in the bikini that circulated the MAC student sections. Also for basketball is kind of Akron. I know they have the Kent rivalry but it’s always really competitive. The only difference is I’ve had really good experiences multiple times with Akron fans. From the many times I’ve been around their fans they’ve been really respectful so there’s not really the hatred involved there

Awesome. Beating out those other offers is great. New coach is off to a good start

Love when we are dogs. We were favored at liberty and look how that worked out haha. Maybe it’s the extra bit of motivation we need to roll Miami.

So tough to say. I’d love a 20+ win season. A lot of big shoes to fill but to still be a strength in the MAC would be a win. I just really want to beat bona
