DJ Mangas hired as offensive QC for the Buffalo Bills

Do we need to go through what happened last year all over again?

UB did an amazing job with NGWSD at the game. What a great environment.

Just based off social media posts they flew private to NIU, Ohio, Miami, CMU and commercial to Stony Brook and Drexel. The others I couldn’t find or they didn’t post. Nice to see the financial support the team receives allows them to do stuff like that. Akron and Kent are probably bus trips.

And that’s not even an accurate stereotype. Felisha Legette-Jack had a ton of energy on the sidelines and is quite a bit older than GH3. One year her energy, disagreement with the referees, or combination of both got her called for a rare technical foul.

When FLJ was here they fundraised for winter boots or something along those lines. Don't know the reasoning behind it but it seems to get some extra money coming in. Completely agree on the second part. I've seen family members with bootlegged jerseys, and UB WBB posted a picture of KLW signing a kid's jersey after the game (which may have been deleted?). It's a complete no-brainer and even if it involves a pre-order so that there isn't inventory risk I am sure there would be interest. They're all quite a few years graduated and I'd love a #5, #33, and #24 UB jersey. I don't think I'm the only one. Hmmm.....

There's a huge difference between buying a second home to have your kids compete in Amherst sports and dropping upper 8 figures on buying your alma mater a hockey team. Both are rich, one is probably a couple orders of magnitude richer than the other.

"Dave and I have a relationship that goes back to the 1990s," Lembo said. He is a highly experienced coach and well-respected play caller. He connects well with his players and knows how to manage an offensive staff. He will do an excellent job evaluating and best utilizing our personnel."

It’s the NCAA, not the previous school. In the past, comments from the previous school could be used by the NCAA to help determine if they were to approve a transfer waiver.

Grad students have unlimited transfers. Agreed on the second part though, as we saw the exodus last year and in the offseason. The last two WBB Freshmen of the Year transferred after winning the award (2021-22 Woolley to Cuse, 2022-23 Sydney Harris to TCU). Last year 3 of the 5 MAC All-Freshman Team transferred, though one did stay in the MAC. As we all know, if the current results hold we have the MAC Freshman of the year playing in Buffalo.

No way. Akron has won the conference in 9 of the last 10 years. The one time they did not, UB won. In the last 4 years UB either won or was in second place. If you go back further, UB has been continuously moving up to be a contender. A UB swimmer (Burns) holds multiple all time MAC records. Recently, UB swimming and diving has been better than ever

Lots to be happy about here. KLW had the best game of her season/career. 21 points, 8 assists, shot 67% from the floor, 90% FT. Rana is back to taking shots and hitting them. The extra effort from Ginés and KLW is very evident watching the game, even if it isn't in the box score. Double-double from Watson. UB shot 80% from the charity stripe, while EMU shot 47%. UB also did a great job on defense, forcing EMU to take bad shots at the end of the shot clock or forcing a shot clock violation.

Whoever you’re responding to is gaslighting you. The “Stop the Metro” founder is somebody who lives in the university heights area, has no affiliation with UB, and went to university in Ohio. The town of Tonawanda supervisor that’s also in vocal opposition to it? Canisius grad who appears on the Canisius “Power 250” I think it’s entirely possible this is a stepping stone job for him but right now I’d welcome it. Lance brought us a ton of success on the field and I’ll take that over losing to FCS teams.

It was awesome listening to the Ohio U play by play analyst list our players that dominated the MAC. Though he did miss Joanna Smith 2015: Joanna Smith, 621 2016: Joanna Smith, 551 2017: Cierra Dillard, 566 2018: Cierra Dillard, 856 2019: Dyaisha Fair, 660 2020: Dyaisha Fair, 579 2021: Dyaisha Fair, 796 2022: "Felisha Legette-Jack is gone. We're finally free of UB players dropping 25+ on us!" 2023: Chellia Watson, 476 and counting 2024: Wait till you hear about her eligibility! The CMU Bradford/Hudson/Frost/Moore/Kelly run is finally over, there's still gas in the tank here.

Watson drops 27 points against Ohio to bring her season total to 476. 10 games left in the regular season, on pace for 727 (10 games), 752 (11 games, go to Cleveland), 777 (12 games, win a Game in Cleveland), 802 (13 games, Make the Finals), 827 (14 games, Win the Finals).

Shot 72% in the third, scoring 32. Held Ohio to 8%, scoring 11. We'd still be up by a point if UB didn't score a single point the last 7:30 of that quarter (UB scored 24 points in the last 7:30)

What a third quarter. Watson up to 19, and great contributions so far from Hattie and KLW.

Hattie back in the starting lineup, but Bulls are off to a slow start.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2024/01/31/college-football-coaching-hires-grades/72411189007/ 6. Pete Lembo, Buffalo Lembo has won at every one of his stops across multiple levels of competition. Most importantly, he went 33-29 in five seasons at Ball State, another MAC program with limited resources that demands careful talent evaluation and player development to make ends meet. Since leaving the Cardinals after the 2015 season, Lembo has worked as an assistant at Maryland, Rice, Memphis and South Carolina. He's one of the top Group of Five hires of the cycle.

No, don't you see in order to make great hires you need to find a group of coaches that you've never worked with before. It worked out great with our last regime! Mo found a bunch of coordinators that stuck around just long enough to get the long term AirBNB discount. Leipold stuck by his guys for better or worse and it worked out for him a hell of a lot better. It's not the only way to do business, but just because Lembo worked with somebody a decade ago doesn't make them unqualified. The guy hasn't even coached a game for us (well those of us here that are fans) and already its started.

About as bold as saying they’re gonna hire a S&C coach for an open position and magically a S&C coach is hired!
