I am very sorry to hear this Coach Dando and his wife were important part of my UB life. Does anyone know how I can send my condolences to the family?

Even though it is delayed an hour having it on SNY( Mets Sports Network) is good for the metro NYC area. I wish all our games were om YES or SNY. It would be nice even delayed. It would play nice for our NYC alumnus. YES and SNY come free on my sports package. I would not mind any of those station replaying UB Basketball/ UB football at 4 in the morning. By the way I am going to watch it an hour delayed so no spoilers

I said this before You want to increase Alumni support Play in The New York City Area every year. Play where your students go to work. The way to get better games is to have more eyes watching. If you can bring in fans to events you get better games. You have better TV rating the NCAA will take you as an at large. More eyes more people downstate where your alumni live.

The idea is to play one game a year where your Alumni live. I can not get up to Buffalo to see them there. I can take my family and meet the people that I went to school with in the NYC area. That will build more financial support. I do want to see them live and in person both in football and basketball. Get the game down here so you can bring in a new fan base.

I do not know who will play us. Choose St John's, Hofstra, Iona ect... Truth be known I like to see it against St John's at MSG

I agree with everyone saying bring UB downstate. I do not think we need a home and home even. One game a year during Thanksgiving or Christmas break. Then you get some Alumni and some current Students. Make it an annual thing and it builds on itself

How about adding Iona College (basketball only) Downstate for NYC, Long Island And Westchester Alumni

The most popular player (for fans) on a struggling team is the back up quarterback

I love to see them down state for a three game road trip. St Johns, Iona and Hofstra

Speaking of coaches does anyone have any more info about our new position coaches?

I will say again that it is a great hire I'm tired of reading on here how butt hurt everyone gets when we hire a successful coach and they move up. If I read about someone saying how they would not leave Buffalo even for 5x their salary I'll hurl. Most people have family and lifetimes ties to Buffalo community these coaches do not. I do not think we could have hired any better this late in the season. I believe he will do well. I will wish him well when he leaves on that note I hope LL wins in Kentucky and I hope Oats wins a national championship in Alabama.

If Mo is successful he will not be here for more than 3 years. Look at his resume he is a hit and run guy looking for a bigger challenge. It is a great hire. He believes in himself and I think for the next 3 years we are set but he does have one foot out the door.

These kids do not know who UB was going to hire. If I was them I would have put myself into the transfer portal too. It is May and preaty late in the game to put together a staff. He has a long way to go before the ship is righted. It is a really good first step though.

Job 1 get your players back from the transfer portal

Wait they do not need to get the first players they need to get the best players for our team

He has one thing to prove. Can he catch a pass out of the backfield, in todays NFL without being a pass catcher you do not go high in the draft. If LL will commit to throwing him some screens and making him a part of whatever passing we have he should stay one more year

Back to back bowl wins For UB

The best paying bowl for us would be the Lending Tree bowl followed by the Birmingham bowl.

To early to say IF we win the next two games and JP runs for 300 yards in both games. We might get a better bowl.

Buffalo RB Jaret Patterson rising in 2021 NFL Draft buzz (247sports.com) This says JP is #2 Running Back in nation in draft. If I was him I would go.

You can only win the games you play. Everything else is out of your control

What rating/ranking is fairest for Mid Major in national ranking. I am trying to get a fair ranking for a team like UB compared to a lesser power 5 team like Georgia Tech.

Three points, One vote for 25 1 point and one vote for 24, 2 point

If anyone here thinks they would not jump at a good job that pays 2x to 3x more than they make now they are crazy. Alabama is good job and Oats believes that he can win there. Wish the man well and say who next. I hope the next coach has as much coaching and recruiting talent as we had before. This is life as a mid major.
