Don't mean to be a jerk. You are comparing Katy, TX School District as a regular high school? They just completed a 70 million dollar football stadium for 12,000 people. (UB Stadium is the equivalent of around $40 million today)

QUICK NOTE We are good. Crazy good this year. We will have new fans coming to the arenas, talking on posts and attending events. Some people who have left for a couple years and coming back. Please welcome them in with open arms. We need to be an encouraging fan base. Let's continue building.

This game makes me nervous! We just had a very tough game against West Virginia (where we didn't play our best). Scheduling wise - This is very similar to the NCAA tournament (big game, not a lot of rest, another good team) I think it was a good decision to book it like this to give the team the experience. That being said. SIU is a good team but I believe we all know that we are better. I think CJ will will have another big game. Hoping that Harris drives to the lane more and takes short range jumpers rather than threes. Need our defense to play well and not fall into the trap of playing at their level. I think the Perkins - Pippen match up will be fun to watch. Play our game and not theirs. We come back to Buffalo 3-0

Just saw a post on UBBullRun about Bowl projections with a more consensus with the Dollar General Bowl. I thought Alabama put into law against transgenders saying that you have to use the bathrooms in accordance to your sex at birth. Essentially the same law that North Carolina used. NYS banned non-essential travel to NC and I thought all states that implement the law as well. The football team might not be allowed to go to Mobile, Alabama because it is considered non-essential travel. Could be wrong but isn't that the case?

Good win at home. While watching the game, I always felt the game was closer than it was. I thought we didn't play as well as we did last year. I think the dust needs to settle for the new additions and change in point guard. I believe it will get better with time. This game made me nervous for how we play against the zone. Right now, we face Syracuse and EMU in the zone but I can see some teams switching over to it against us.

Andy Katz created his first bracket today for the NCAA tournament. Obviously, we are far off but it looks as if he made some bold predictions for UB UB taking a #9 seed in the Midwest. UB beats #8 Wisconsin but loses to #1 Kansas https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2018-11-01/andy-katz-filled-out-preseason-ncaa-tournament-bracket-lets

The Toledo vs Buffalo game was televised on Channel 2 here in Buffalo. It was nice to see that Buffalo actually supported the Bulls by putting it on. Apparently, they received great ratings having the game on. Check out the article below https://buffalonews.com/2018/10/22/university-at-buffalo-football-wins-big-on-tv-too/

A win against one of those teams would be huge for an at large bid. But lets win all three just to be safe.

DOH! After looking at the videos, they reused the video from April 18, 2018

I believe they usually upload them to their YouTube channel. Here it is https://www.youtube.com/user/UBSID/videos But they haven't uploaded the basketball insider yet.

Just watched the Buffalo Bulls Basketball Insider. It was on the CW at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday morning (in Buffalo). I thought the video guys did a great job recapping last season and the win in Arizona. It was fun to watch and made me relive a lot of memories from last season.

Great game but I am also quick to say that we got lucky. We had a couple calls that went our way which really shifted the momentum of the game. Do not get me wrong. The guys showed heart to come from behind at halftime and not back down. I was particularly impressed with the second half adjustments. It is also nice to have Johnson back. We can not be flat footed against Miami OH when they come to UB on October 30.

I don't mean to be a downer but I think around 15,000-17,000 is more accurate for purchased tickets with about 14,000 attendance. I could be wrong and I certainly hope to be but that Army game set us back. I doubt AJ is playing too many snaps this game. Lance continues to say he is day to day and he wants to jump in but I just don't see him risking it (neither the coaches). Rather him more healthy towards the tail end of the season and for next weeks game (Toledo). With that being said, I think we have a huge game for Marks and Patterson again. Clocking in over 250 yards combined. 42-24 Bulls

Looks as if NBC Sports Podcast released a top 25 for mid-major. We are listed as #1! https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2018/09/27/nbcsports-coms-preseason-mid-major-power-rankings/

As of Tuesday, Sept 25 at 3 p.m., there are over 19,000 tickets sold (according to Buffalo Business Insider) 25,000 is sell out. With it only being Tuesday, I think a sellout is within reach.

If KJ Osborn and the other receivers didn't pick up this season, I would say he is a goner for sure. I honestly think it depends how this season goes. If we make it to a big Bowl game and win, I can see him declaring. If we end with a mediocre season, I see him staying to increase his draft stock. I hope he stays but each game when I keep saying "how did he pull off that throw!?" makes me think more and more he is going.

I am in Buffalo, people who would have never thought about coming to a Bulls game are coming to the Army game on Saturday. Also saw on TicketMaster that only the South Bleachers behind the endzone are available.

Agreed! Beat Army!

This game makes me nervous. Very surprised we are 6.5 point favorites for this game. Army is a GOOD team. That being said, I do not think their secondary competes with our receiving core and Tyree behind the center. I think this game is going to be a shoot out. I think they are going to rush for 250 yards and Tyree will throw for 250. UB pulls it off 38-35

Glory days? We are in the Glory Days right now!!!!!!!! If anyone disagrees, I would be surprised. But Athletics also saw the largest philanthropic support it has ever had under Danny White. And that was back when the programs were not as successful as as they are now. You have to admit he was a good hype man. He brought in people that otherwise have not been involved. He was building the ground roots to create a large program. The NYBI is what threw it off with the community. Once ONE bad thing happens people latch on. (Don't believe me? Just wait to UB Football loses one game and the city of Buffalo does a collective "I told you so, we aren't that good" after our undefeated start no one was expecting) What do you mean by "other things poorly"? I agree with you that the role out and idea of NYBI was not that great. What else are you alluding to? I read up on things but I am not in the weeds as you are.

I am confused. I agree NYBI was a failed attempt. But everything else put in place has worked out to UB's favor. If we focus on the one mistake made over the many successes, what does that say about us? It makes sense for good talent to leave if we constantly have that mentality. The things put in place by White have helped us. If you can't see that, then you are lost. EDIT White helped us, and Greene sustained it. Alnutt inherited a great program. Now we will see if he can continue to the next level

I was thinking. Is this the best period of UB athletics history. I believe it is definitely the best for Division 1 but in general many of our sports teams are doing well. Obviously Football is doing well this season. Currently sitting 3-0 Soccer 6-1 Volleyball 8-4 Men's X-Country - Caleb Covell absolutely killing it. 2 First place finishes out of 2 Women's X-Country - Up and coming Riley Jones (freshman) showing promise taking sixth place. It is an incredibly exciting time to be a UB Bull fan. I like the direction everything is heading in as well as leadership (Mark Alnutt). I guess for the people that have been following it for awhile. It finally feels like it is here. I don't want to be greedy but want to continue to dominant the MAC and get to a higher conference.
