Blocker impressed me with his fearlessness and athleticism. He should start in my opinion later on the year. His dunk in the 2nd half stunned the whole crowd. Powell and Foster are going to be solid in the MAC even though Powell didn’t have the best offensive game. I really didn’t see much from Curtis Jones and I don’t know if he will improve or not. Jack hustled and tried to make plays. Caesar had a typical Freshman game with nerves and turnovers but I still believe in his talent and see he can be very good. I think he should get more minutes as the year goes on and really should look to start over Jones in my opinion. Lastly where’s Chatman? Any update on his injury? He would have made a difference in this game as we needed more size and rebounding. Overall my key takeaway is this team is young and doesn’t have the experience yet. I think there will be ups and downs throughout the season but at the end of the year we’ll be a decent team. We just need to play those players that play defense and don’t turn the ball over.  Go bulls.

Our new team’s play so far can be described as frantic and unorganized in my opinion. I like the speed and athleticism but we need to have a bit more structure.

Also, anyone have an update on Sy Chatman and his recovering timetable?

Saw Wes Clark is playing with Jayvon Graves on the same team in France. Pretty cool. Limoges basketball is in the top league in France and CJ played there last year. Good for Wes and Jayvon.

These announcers on tv are brutal. Big homers and I think one of them called us the Buffalo Braves? 

Wonder what Khalil Mack has to say…

That was not good. Not good at all. When does basketball start?

KVT “the game manager” is beating Nebraska 28-21. Snyder is not our problem at the moment. Our defense is getting manhandled 

Our defense is getting manhandled because of the HC QB. Take him away from HC and they aren’t that good. 

This is sad to say or just confirms our need for a QB playmaker but any chance the HC QB wants to transfer next year to UB? He would be All MAC QB.

Well the good news from this game is that I saved some money. Thank you New York State.

Curious as to the reason for this. Imagine Ohio or Michigan resident fans not being able to bet on Ohio State or Michigan games or is that the case there too?

I kind of think we can surprise some people this year.    No better place than College Park next Saturday.

On what app though? It’s weird none of the big Sportsbook apps even show the game or UB in general for futures. Every other MAC team is in play but us.

When will they release the final depth chart?

UB needs to trademark the Blue Collar U brand somehow.

Funniest part of the game was the interview with Nate at half. She asked him what advice he’d give the team as far as adjustments and I pretty sure Nate was thinking “Not a damn thing because this game is over” but he had to be diplomatic. 

I have one request of this fan board. Can we keep track closely where these players go next for their pro stops? I want to know where Wes and Bearden sign in Europe or North America. Be cool to track their seasons during the TBT offseason. 
 

And with inflation TBT has to up the prize to 1.5 mil at least next year. They are starting to sound like Dr. Evil…

XL Center or on their campus arena? Either way I’m going.

Very hard to retire numbers in college basketball.  No uniform can have a numeral higher than 5 on it.

Remember 11 is already in the rafters for Rasaun Young (and eventually for Turner Battle, probably sometime this season with him back in town) but was worn by Jeenathan Williams last year and Kuluel Mading this season.

What I meant was to put their names and jerseys on the wall. I can understand we really can’t retire any numbers but having a ceremony for them and putting up a TBT banner later on would be cool. 

Don’t want to think too far ahead but if they win this thing, they should put a banner up in Alumni. The place is called Alumni arena anyways. This is our Alumni team winning a big alumni tournament. Just a thought and don’t forget to retire Perk and CJs numbers too.

I said this earlier and I’ll say it again, we need to find a way to get this tournament in Alumni and show off the UB Bulls brand. Fix the AC problem.  This team is doing almost free advertising for the school and basketball program. 
 

Also, there has to be some NBA scout watching this that can see Perk, Wes or CJ can hang in the NBA. Hope they get an offer. Go Bulls 

Love this team. Even when some of our best players are having off nights like Wes today the rest of the team steps up. It was stressful after Perk blew that dunk and then we let them back in. But this team is mentally tough and scrappy. I feel good about the rest of the way. Just have to out work every team and most of these other teams can’t run with us.  
Also, I want them to play Carruthers, Jordan, Wes, CJ and Perk together. We would lock down every team regardless of height. Just a thought. Go Bulls/Blue Collar 

I think it has to be at Alumni next year. We need the Bulls logo on the court. Find a way to bring in portable AC units or something. Forget ECC or Buffalo State. Make it Alumni so we can showcase the school too. 

I hope they play at alumni next year. It would be great advertisement for the school and the Bulls basketball brand. Had no idea there was no AC in the place.
The key question is if Boehiem will allow his TBT team to actually play in Alumni or will he demand Syracuse to keep a regional. Needs to pump up his TBT win totals I’m sure.  

Glad we fixed the website. Hope that doesn’t happen again.

As for Blue Collar U, it’s such a blessing to get to watch these group of players continue to play. During the boring July month of sports it’s great to have something to root for. Lastly, we’ll have to play well to beat the Nerd Team. They can shoot it and don’t turn the ball over. Let’s get the W and keep things rolling!

Nothing against the 2 non-UB players but the chemistry would be stronger with Jordan and Graves. 

What about Graves and Jordan? Just need them and roster is all set.
