I thought we were just on the waiting list last year

Missouri was ranked 62 in Massey. Xavier is 136, Bulls currently 94.

In the last six years he has finished 1st, 2nd, and 4th in the conference.  That will keep you around at Canisus.  

He also has one (1) winning season in that time frame. I appreciate him for what he did at UB and I will root for him (personally, not CC) but he's on borrowed time as a head coach.

Sounds to me like that would be more lines on the football field.

Yep. Soccer deserves better than playing on a football field. Football deserves better than playing on a field with soccer lines.

Anywho, I'm ready to see this team start a new FCS winning streak this Saturday.

Currently trying to get true blue to organize a section to go to niagara

Great times in 2015 when our men's soccer team was on a tear and TB went to both Canisius and Niagara, was louder than the home fans, and UB won.

1-0 win against Colgate yesterday. Local games at Canisius and Niagara up next.

Reggie has been a lame duck at Canisius for a while. They don’t have the resources to hire somebody better.

With a couple more powerhouse seasons do we have a chance to get our men’s team back?

The MAC dropped men’s soccer. I would say it’s extremely unlikely.

Soccer beat Ohio State 2-1 today. This season could be one for the record books.

I agree we should add WKU and MTSU. Problem is last time we had that chance, some MAC Presidents reportedly voted no bc they felt like they’d have to further invest in their own programs to stay competitive. 

MTSU didn't want to join. WKU would have accepted the invite but did not get one because the MAC wanted both or neither.

Hey just wondering is there a place to buy UB  NIL jerseys like this? https://www.fanatics.com/college/western-kentucky-hilltoppers/college-basketball-gear/o-38+t-13371514+c-75+z-90136-3515545301

Not officially.

Embarrassing.

if you're okay with going a non-traDitional metHod of Getting A jersey, ThosE exist. but those are very hit or miss.

So it only the men that people care about playing the other SUNY Centers?  Unless I am in Detroit I will be at Stony Brook.

I like beating the inferior SUNY schools. I'm not so sure this team will do it considering we've had essentially three different teams and coaching staffs in the last three years.

Good to see he knows where to get wings

Interesting numbers. Median would probably be more interesting, since there's probably some big numbers thrown around at the top of each level. And there's a huge difference between promised vs paid. 

And some bias in the data with "and more than 1000 student-athletes we’ve contracted with" since self reported numbers aren't going to be accurate.

What design will replace the spirit mark?

I'll probably say this again but if anybody is thinking of going to the Wisconsin game, go. It's a fun time and Madison is a nice city. Not too far from Chicago if you're looking at flights.

Today they lost Coach Blair Estarfaa.  He became women's head coach at Buff State. https://buffalostateathletics.com/news/2023/5/31/blair-estarfaa-named-head-womens-basketball-coach.aspx

Rooting for him. Nice hire for Buff State.

Fajri Ansari, UB alum, seems to be struggling there recently with the mens team.

The rumor was that Allen Greene was pushing too hard on it and the Strykers backed off. Soon after the soccer team got axed.

Probably had to figure out very fast if he needed to discontinue soccer or another sport like wrestling.

Steven Stryker. His dad is Jon Stryker.

WMU's medical school is named after his great grandfather. I was wrong, it was actually Jon Stryker's sister who provided the $100 million gift to name the med school. But Jon has donated at least $5 million (combined) to WMU, a school he didn't attend.

There's also a $550 million anonymous donation to WMU that is rumored to be from the Stryker family.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned before, but WMU got a boat load of money from a very generous donor, with a nice chunk of it going to athletics.

One of WMU's (as a school) top donors has a son that played soccer for UB. He has a net worth of multiple billions.

Frustrating.

How many bridges are gonna get burned here? That comment could be something completely unrelated to basketball, but given the shitshow of the last.....year, this just adds to the nonsense and probably is basketball related.
