I might be reading into this, but if Lembo is saying this is a big time phone call, we might be seeing the starting QB for next season.  

This reminds me of when Jeff Quinn had a big time phone call from Chazz Anderson, who ended up being the starting QB because we didn't really have one going into the season...

For what it's worth, watching the video clips at the UBBulls.com site has me a bit jazzed up for the upcoming football season.  I couldn't tell you the last time I was looking forward to football this far out.  Lembo has definitely created something...

I like it.  Adding a rivalry or a nice incentive certainly isn't a bad thing.  Personally, I'd like to see more teams added to the MAC.

The change in date frees Lamonte Bearden up if he wanted to attend.

You're dating yourself there.  Was he with Reggie?

Sensing a real emerging interest in UB football on the board.  Hope springs eternal?

So, two questions:

1) anyone go and meet Coach Lembo this past week?  If so, impressions?  Insights?

Truthfully, I think the interest is that it's no longer MO.  

Can we at least admit, he has to be better than what just left...

So, Lembo was coach of Lehigh when they beat us back in 2002.  I like the hire....

Can't disagree there.  It's the resigning and not being fired that is hard to compute.

Did I read that correctly?  He's the 2nd head coach to be plucked for an assistant position at Bama.  I know it's Bama and SEC and all, but why would a HC willingly take an assistant job?  Being fired is one thing, but stepping down to do that?  I don't know if I could do it.

Counterpoint: Snyder isn't and never was a D1 quality QB. I don't expect him to be transferring to an FBS team as a starter, which would tell us a lot about what we've experienced the last two years. Optimistically, maybe that should be encouraging for us with an actual QB next year. 

I'm not disagreeing with you here, but wasn't Snyder half decent last season?  I mean the dude won a bowl game for us.

For what it's worth, there's a good bit of thread action just for an exhibition game.  It's nice to see basketball excitement again...

Uhhhhhhh?

My guess is the next move for Mack at UB is going to be inducted into the UB Athletics Hall of Fame.  

Honest question and I would love to hear people's thoughts... Is he an NFL Hall of Famer?

Wayyyyyyyy too early for that.  Elite pash rusher yes, but HOF?  I'm not sure (yet).

Khalil Mack’s Buffalo Bulls number should be retired by UB Bulls in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo 

Amen.  AMEN.

I can't remember, was he a Jeff Quinn recruit?  

Is it wrong if I'm almost embarrassed to tell those that have asked, "hey how did UB do this weekend?"

"Uhh, we beat Akron.  In overtime."

They may not win but they’ll play well against Liberty. The team will be hungry to show out. 

I want to agree with you here, but anything other than a WIN will not be good moving forward...

I have to agree with you guys.  This will be one of those bounce back weekends (I hope)....

Is it recruiting or development.  

3.2 yards a carry and 97 total yards against an FCS program

Albany averaged 4.9 YPR (total 146), Wagner 3.3 YPR (88 Total) against Fordham.

Up 21 - 3 and cannot rush the ball is a problem for the team, and 362 total yards.

I would love to know both team stats after it was 21 - 3.  UB looked like they stopped moving the ball, while Fordham, well ya know.....

I don't know, but at no point would I give him a pass to say that his offensive or defensive coordinators didn't get it done.  He will guide us to another 6 - 6 season.  And, we will start of this year 0 - 3 after getting throttled by Liberty next week.  Hint:  Liberty is light years better than Fordham.

His play calling was vanilla, especially when it mattered (3rd and short, 4th and short).   And Mo was completely outcoached tonight.  Please rid yourself of thinking this is the guy.  He is fools gold.  Sorry, but it's the absolute truth.

Please don't be a trap game.  Please don't be a trap game.

I think I'll be surprised if he is still the coach come April 7th

I hope.  Watching the Akron game turned my stomach.  My how far we've fallen.  The only hope is moving in a different direction...
