  1. Why did Buffalo challenge that TD? There is no way to determine that it was or wasn’t a TD.
  2. I was listening to the pregame, when I saw a message on the TV. (I was watching Kentucky on ESPN). I thought that it said that the UB-BG game was starting soon. It’s on ESPN!!
  3. FWIW: kenpom had UB favored 77-69. He had UB ranked 122 and Army 244 going in. Perhaps ESPN is better at prognosticating college basketball results than kenpom...I don’t know.
  4. This is going to be a long poor season...middle of the MAC.
  5. I subscribed to flowhoops. Big mistake. I tried to cancel my subscription. Impossible. I had to phone my credit card’s bank to try and sort things out. Guess I’ll see if I can get them on radio.
  6. Is there any way to watch this game without cable? How about with cable? We cut our cable a few months ago, but now that sports are starting to resume we need a way to view.
  7. https://gobonnies.sbu.edu/sports/m-baskbl/2019-20/releases/20200421pp2wsa Anthony Roberts is transferring from Kent St to St Bonaventure. He is eligible immediately for the 2021-2022 season.
  8. Will the UB Fall Sports team athletes be allowed to use the facilities for weight training, running, team drills, etc.? Or is the moratorium a total ban?
  9. Aren’t we forgetting Jarryn Skeete? Turner Battle? Yassin Idbihi?
  10. I’m cynical enough to speculate that the the increase in MAC regular season from 18 to 22, envisions smaller crowds next year - whenever next year may be. So the additional games somewhat would offset the lower attendance figures that are certain. It’s whistling past the graveyard.
  11. UB would have had to almost triple its financial package. Oats had to make a rational decision. He made the right choice. No one was blindsided with the exception of Alnutt, perhaps.
  12. Unless you’re really that regimented, go with the flow.
  13. We should be grateful that it didn’t happen last year.
  14. UB is not a basketball school. It’s men’s’ and women’s’ basketball teams have been more successful than its football team. Agree that football is the squeaky wheel. Also agree that UB is financially low balling athletics relative to other conferences that fans have mentioned as desirable destinations.
  15. As far as the Bills-Sabres country goes, winning will sell. as the Bills-Sabres country goes, winning will sell. There seems to be a floor under the attendance figures for both the Bills and the Sabres. Not sure why, because they do suck. Maybe it’s the media. If they suck, the stadium/arena will be empty. I don’t agree. They have both been bottom barrel franchises for ages. The fans show up. And they pay a lot more than my wife and I do for our season tickets for the mens’ and women’s’ basketball games. The Bulls have been WAY more competitive than either of the two major league professional teams over the past ten years. The closest UB Football has come to winning a National Championship was winning the MAC Championship & Bahamas Bowl, and the closest UB Basketball has come to a National Championship was getting crushed in the Round of 32. Okay, and your point is? Keep paying the big bucks for your trips to KeyBank Center and whatever Rich Stadium is now called.

  17. It’s possible, contrary to many posts here attesting to the athletic superiority of the Bulls, that UB was in fact deficient in talent this season. They certainly didn’t manhandle anyone. Every game seemed to come down to the last couple of minutes. They were middle of the pack - in a conference loaded with middle of the pack teams. They had no take charge guy. Whitesell was fired by Loyola because it felt he was a .500 guy - which he was. And yet Whitesell’s successor at Loyola, Porter Moser, has had one stellar season there in nine seasons. Perhaps Loyola is satisfied with that. Sad, seeing as they won it all in 1963. Whitesell’s probably got one more year at Buffalo. Then? Is UB committed to top tier DI basketball? I doubt it.
