Enough already about next week. Let's get pumped about this week. Looking forward to a reverse Homecoming for Vantrease as he plays just up the street from his high school.

Not sure I would like to play SMU in Frisco, but I like the destination. It has been too many years since I've made a trip to Dallas. Frisco gets a thumbs up from me.

Best geography! 🥴

Indeed. Looking back, it does seem like a gamble. I could see how it might have made sense in the first game for which we were a huge favorite. Treat it like an exhibition game. He seemed like the fan preference, but what do we know. I don't recall ever hearing much of the rationale for starting Myers. Regardless, here we are and things are looking good. Go Bulls.

Your wish has been granted. 😲

I don't think Memphis wins that game at a neutral site. The Game Day atmosphere for a fan base that is craving it like Memphis adds so much to the experience. I think Vegas odds reflected that this was not just another road game for a higher-ranked team. They routinely fill a 60k stadium. Memphis may be in Tennessee, but it is a long way from Knoxville, and they own the town. Plus, the Liberty Bowl does so much to bring college football pride to the city. I've never seen a city embrace their bowl more than the Liberty Bowl. P.S. Loved it when Jerry Lawler threatened Lee Corso after he threw off the Tiger head and put on a Mustang head.

Too much of the talk we hear is generated by agents (leveraging the next contract extension), media (talking heads with way too much time to imagine things), and fans (who know next to nothing). So, unless I'm hearing things from trustworthy sources, I don't put much stock in it.

Does he also kick XPs?

Anybody have any notes from the scrimmage on Saturday?

I'd like the Independence Bowl because I think I can travel to that one!

So, were we just early and got him? There doesn't seem to be much interest by other strong programs.

This was very impressive. And I hear that it is even better than they make it seem on the video. Great job UB.

Probably good for him. Too bad for us. I like having him in the RB room. He is a proven talent and had such impact two seasons ago. May be much more to the story. Sorry to see him go.

Athlon's prediction puts us within easy reach of the championship game. This line sums it up for me as I hope for good performance as a QB steps out from Jackson's shadow. The O-line and ground game should help loosen up the passing game (at least a bit). "The Bulls can lean heavily on a standout line and ground game to ease the transition on offense."

Is this good for the MAC?

Get a lead in State College and the TV numbers will be huge!

Am I reading correctly that the Bahamas Bowl is the very first bowl? Edit: Never mind. I found a site with a complete list.

Is Tyree sticking around campus to work out for himself and/or with others who are still on the team?

Semi-serious. Is there a rule against scheduling MAC teams for the non-conference? Perhaps only teams that aren't already on the schedule for that year.

Seriously. Still waiting for more informed explanation of what happened.

More and more, we see that the NFL is a cold-hearted business. At least in college, we still have some semblance of team loyalty, although it really got stretched this off-season by UB players.

"Hopefully they can be healthy and show off their skills and we have a few on rosters/practice squads come September." Agreed!

Are you really arguing about this? Tyree and AJ woke up yesterday expecting to be 4th round picks. Here are the facts: The first pick in the 4th round: $3,324,499 with $804,499 signing bonus. The last pick in the 7th round: $2,594,288 with $74,288 signing bonus. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/draft/

Tyree woke up this morning expecting to earn 10 times that as his annual salary and another 10 times that as a signing bonus.

Seems like the "first" undrafted free agent to sign should have gotten more money. Or is the salary set by the NFLPA contract?
