  1. I find it hard to believe there's no incremental cost in terms of opex for playing games at an NFL stadium. Also, the 26k at Ralph Wilson was primarily driven by the success of the team that year, not the fact that it was in an NFL stadium. Both UB and BGSU were 8-3 at the start of that game and battling for a spot in the MAC title against a top-25 NIU team. The Bills were not a playoff team and we had a super star in Khalil Mack projecting to go early in the 1st round. We were the best ticket in town and it showed at home as well since we averaged 22k in attendance at UB Stadium too. I'm not saying there couldn't be lift from playing in an NFL stadium but the Ralph Wilson game didn't really show us much promise given that it was only 3k more than our season average at home. Now, if we did 40k in that game then we may have a selling point.
  2. C'mon, PTR. You will obviously die on this hill but our athletic department is unwilling to pay the money to play games there.
  3. Can we finally admit that our AD is doing a very poor job? Shitty apps for our students that don't work, wifi issues in Alumni, crappy DJs blasting out of date music, poor scheduling in the big sports, terrible Season Ticket Holder Appreciation Nights, as well as very questionable hiring/extensions for our coaches. AD Alnutt is the weak link here.
  4. No idea how this team can crush lower level teams and then get equally crushed by top teams. NIU beat Kent but you wouldn’t know it tonight.
  5. Has this team improved? Arguably our best win of the season was the first game against Colgate. They definitely have talent but given JWs inability to build the last batch of players, I’m not expecting much progression with these guys.
  6. He brought a gun to somebody who said they needed it because someone mouthed off at them at a bar. In a state like Alabama that could easily be seen as bringing somebody their gun for self protection. I don't agree with it but this is what super lax gun laws get you. The DA even said they couldn't charge him with anything given Alabama laws.
  7. I think 2-2. Dekalb has been a house of horrors for us.
  8. BobcatAttack called this from day 1. There have been dozens of posts over the last 4 years wondering why the hell we would “blow it all up” after making it all the way to the top 25.
  9. 18 posts during a road game at Ohio with important seeding implications. Doesn’t seem like anyone’s entertained anymore.
  10. Sure seemed like Zid was more involved than any game I’ve seen since Colgate. He is what he is too, a turnover or a highlight reel. Either way, another loss. Next up, at Ohio where they’re currently dismantling Akron. This season is over.
  11. Is this why our gameplan was to give the ball to Zid at the top of the key on 100% of the plays? We don't have anyone else who can break the pressure? This was a complete shift from what we normally see from this team and it was a disaster. We finally had a shot at winning our first game against a good opponent all season and we came out with a completely fresh strategy that produced nothing. Am I wrong?
  12. WTF was the game plan tonight?! Zid Powell or nothing?? This is the worst coaching I’ve seen in a long time.
  13. Is Powell our PG?? Why is he at the top of the key every possession??
  14. Honest question, is Curtis Jones still in our team? Haven’t seen him in weeks.
  15. Powell has been a nightmare. It looks like he’s never played or practiced with his team. Chucking passes to nobody, dribbling off his feet. Friggin mess.
  16. All I see are empty sidelines and full endzones. The city of Buffalo of utterly useless for UB sports. I'm so sick and tired of watching this. Buffalo Super Fan, where are all your friends? Are they at the St Bonnie game? They're certainly not at Canisius. Perhaps pursuing a fanbase outside of WNY wasn't a bad idea after all. Christ.
  17. She's in her first year with a completely revamped roster. If Whitesell gets 4+ seasons of tolerance after inheriting a $hitload of talent, then Burke should get 5+ before we lose any patience.
  18. Black out, ESPN2 game on a Friday night, jerseys with the friggin' city skyline on them... Let's hope folks actually show up and make some damn noise.
  19. Just a track meet tonight with insane shooting all around. It seemed like everyone on the floor was hitting that wasn't named Curtis Jones. He's been struggling.
  20. I don't think Alabama is a blue blood but I think Nate Oats is on a rocket ship to blue blood status as a coach. So far, everything he has touched has turned to gold. If he keeps Bama up near the top he'll be in discussions for a blue blood position like KU or UK should an opening ever come about.
  21. But we already played AT Old Dominion so that means all we gained was an Away game at Louisiana... Is this correct?
  22. Good for Nate and thank you, once again, to Danny White for taking a chance on him.
  23. You could always root for the Griffs. You won't have any noise to deal with in that gym.
