What do people think of the event in Toronto?

Do you think it is worth playing in it again?

I thought it was a lot of fun. Based on the number of fans from UB I don't think you have to worry about playing in it again. You guys did know that it was going on right?  Organizers were very pleased with SBU crowd.

Unfortunately there will be plenty of room for obnoxious Bonnie fans. 

 I resemble that remark. 

If any of you are venturing to Toronto tomorrow, I will see you there.  What is the guess on number of UB fans there? 

Wait, Oates isn't your coach anymore?

I just, don’t understand how the Bonnies are so high. I don’t care that they play in the A-10, but their current roster doesn’t dictate that ranking. They are not great on paper.

Mike there are 153 teams rated ahead of UB and you only are worried about the Bonnies!  You do care! 

You guys are such a bunch of knuckleheads!  This is fun!   

Hello again everyone.  I know many of you have expressed concern for me.  I was able to purchase tickets for the St. Bonaventure game.  Thank you and see you December 30th.  

Wow, that is just painful Mike.   

Come on you have to admit I liven things up around here.  You are welcome. 

When do your single game tickets go on sale?  Asking for a few thousand of my friends.

Don’t agree. He would be a homer for St. Bona. He failed miserably at Siena. If he can/t make it in the week MAAC he should stay in the SEC. Maybe Oats can sign him and they can talk about their accolades when they were local. You know how the good old boys club works.

Lanier was in the MAAC quite a while ago.  If you are worried about a”homer”, I am pretty sure that Hodgson lived in Olean for quite some time.  I think Hodgson or Lanier are good choices for you, but this thread is fun. Let’s keep it going. 

Wolf Blitzer would pass the loyalty test, but it could be tough with the basketball knowledge.  Press briefings could be in the “situation room” 

Thank you very much.  

If you do decide to hire Rob he won’t come cheap as he is currently making 425,000 at Tennessee. 

What the hell happened,?  I leave you guys alone for a few months and all hell breaks loose.  You would be wise to make Rob Lanier your coach. Big time assistant and local ties. He also does things the right way, which would be good. 

Carry on. 

Congratulations, your team kicked our ass.  They are an excellent team, enjoy the season. See you next year.

If you decide to get in the face of UB fans and heckle them it becomes a numbers game.  How many of you are there?  how many of them are there?

I am just disappointed In you Jeseph. This is weak, I know what a message board is and I thought you did also.  The rhetoric on message boards and factual inaccuracies are part of the fun.  I don’t really expect to learn or change any minds that is what this is all about. Have fun cheering for your team tomorrow. 

Wow, this thread has taken an unpleasant turn.  Who would think this would happen on a message board? 

You will be safe at Bonaventure if you are just cheering for your team.  If you decide to get in the face of the student section and heckle them it becomes a numbers game.  How many of you are there?  how many of them are there?   A large portion of the student body comes from the WNY area so they have learned how to act at Bills games etc.  Concessions are not great.  They probably will be run by a student group trying to make money.  The ceiling is low and the doors will be closed. It will be loud.

I’m sorry if I have offended.  I just started following college basketball about four years ago.   The rest of the  Bona fans they are crazy.  I will try to enlighten  about having a big game like this. 

I guess the question I have is why does UB even schedule this game?  You are doing us a favor by playing us and for that we are grateful.  I hope when the tournament you guys are putting together with Big East and ACC teams ( discussed in another thread) gets going you won’t forget us.

This is going to be a blowout.

St. Bona is flirting with being a sub-300 team.  

They have only beat horrible teams. 

I don't know why people are over selling them. 

I think we will show up, but only as sacrificial lambs.  Hard to compete with New York's Powerhouse. 

Great analysis on this thread.  It will be a fun game.  It is just an honor to be on the same court with the Bulls.  I hope we are worthy.

Bona's atmosphere is great. It is also a bit contrived. They pack the place. The students are on top of the court especially at either basket. The ceiling is as low as you'll ever find one in major college hoops. On top of that they close the doors leading to the gym during the game, which means the sound is literally bouncing off the walls and ceiling with little place to go.

Hey, we are getting ready to close the doors, lowering the ceiling, and getting change for your cash on Saturday!  If any of you want to follow me I’m leaving a little early as I’m stopping for a bite to eat and a few drinks before the game.  I love the cracks on Olean as I never have heard those, oh wait,  I hear them about Buffalo all the time.  I guess it makes people feel superior to put down other places. 

I have heard criticisms of the Reilly Center before, but never the low ceiling and the closing of the doors, but it is a fun place to watch a game. 

i know I say things just to get things going a little bit, but this is a legitimate question.  Isn’t football holding you guys back?  I live in Buffalo and love college basketball.  You guys have a great team, but when I look at your schedule there isn’t a team on there I want to see you play at Alumni Arena.  How many directions are there in Michigan? I might go see you play Syracuse with a couple of UB friends. Dump football and get in the Atlantic 10.  Real sports fans know the MAC. Degenerate gamblers are the only ones interested in the football. Do you guys make money on it?  I won’t respond to my football question that is for you guys to figure out.  See some of you Saturday.

I, for one, will never root for St. Bonaventure 🙂 

We will try to survive!  You must not think UB has much of a chance at an at large if things don’t go the right way in the MAC tourney. 

That's the funny thing about NCAA basketball you will want to kill us on the 8th, but then will root like crazy for us the rest of the year.  Our win over you guys definitely helped us get the at-large bid. 

Hi guys.  Glad to see we are on your mind  You might just get that 3rd ever win against us, but I would come ready to play.  Glad there will be a good crowd for the game.
