  1. Loved it and couldn't believe it. When she launched the ball, I figured it was going to go over everyone's head and go out of bounds and WMU would get the ball and score. Boy was I wrong!
  2. The DJ was there for most games last year, however we haven't had the need for all seats (for most games). They will be turning many people (students and general public) away once the students come back to the AA.
  3. It's so hard to watch games on that court...it's awful!
  4. "Yeah, yeah, they lit", "They killin it", "He's flossin"...in addition to taking up about 30-40 seats worth of space from the bleachers.
  5. Nice resource. It shows an incorrect record for us in today's listing (it was correct yesterday). Just an FYI. Otherwise, it's pretty cool to be thinking about our UB Bulls in the same breath as many of the proverbial "big boys". I like our guys against them on most nights!
  6. I have no upsets in these match-ups. They all seem relatively one-sided to the favorites in this round, with regard to each player's worth to UB basketball at the time of their careers. Some of my UB all-time favorites hit this board...unfortunately they get bounced in my bracket.
  7. If winning by 24 followed by a 9 point road win is "a couple rough games in a row", then we need to check ourselves. Were either of those games perfect? No, but nobody is perfect. It's hard to win games. The other teams are trying to win also! EMU lost and only scored 49 yesterday, so I'm not so sure how "well" they are playing, but I am with you in knowing that they can be dangerous to play against. I can't wait to see the packed house and see another big UB win on Friday. Let's get out and support the women tonight!
  8. The WVU game was over 2 months ago. I'm far less worried about what other teams are doing as compared to what our team does at this point. The WVU game was big at the time, they were ranked, it was the first game of the season in the whole NCAA, and on the road in a season opening game. It was a big win regardless of what they are doing now. As for now, we just need to keep playing hard and taking care of our own business in the MAC and everything else will fall rightly into place.
  9. 15-16 seems likely today. Win tomorrow and Friday, have others keep losing around you, and keep creeping forward. One game at a time. This is very fun. Enjoy it, I know I am!
  10. White and Rushing were backup players who received minimal time t best at their original schools, not all-league selections. I'd never question your allegiance BB, as you're all-in on UB always. I simply don't believe that we should be "happy" and "rooting on" players who leave us after we've invested and developed them as players, students and men. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the constant bouncing around of players all over the place, including high schools, which has become more frequent recently. It is what it is. Maybe our coaching staff will find a transfer/replacement for him who's even better. I'm just not going to root for him to have success elsewhere. I'm going to root for the UB players.
  11. I'd gladly take Davonte over Lamonte. Jordan is a beast on D and has been very good with the ball. His shooting has improved over his time here and he is a great teammate. I remember when Lamonte was suspended for a game or two and he had to sit in street clothes on the bench. He looked like he just came back from hanging out with his friends, sloppy looking clothes, sagging, no UB gear. It was embarrassing. Could Lamonte play ball? Certainly, but I am extremely happy with the roster that we've got!
  12. Out of state tuition is approximately $25-30k/year, room & board, fees, books, meals and more = approx $50k/year. It's a lot of $$.
  13. If they won out, they'd be much higher than #15. Heck, they may be up to 15 tomorrow, considering all of the losses by teams in the top 25 this week. There's no way if they go 18-0 they're not well into the top 10. One game at a time. It's fun to look forward to Monday to see the new rankings!
  14. The courtside seats come with access to the bull pen club which has food before the game & halftime. I don't think that prices have gone up much. $160 for season tickets for both the men's and women's games is quite the deal. Yes, prices go up if you want the better seats if you include the mandatory donation, but even then, the prices are still quite low and haven't really gone up much, if at all, in a few years.
  15. Double would be too much. But they could easily increase the regular price and the "donation". Could possibly expand the donation sections and get another small amount from some of the seats. Need to keep this party poppin!
  16. Might have been. I think the price of seasons could and should go up for next year. Provided the staff remains in place, they all deserve another bump in pay, starting immediately! We all need to open up our pocketbooks and throw some more schillings UB's way if we want to keep this fun ride going.
  17. Football also costs many times more than basketball.
  18. The only thing we truly need is for UB to keep winning. The outside wins are all nice and good and make us look even better, but we just need to take care of our own business. Such and impressive first 3 MAC games. 15 more of those in the regular season would be nice, followed by 3 more in Cleveland. Then, 6 more and we're dancing in the streets! Seriously though, one game at a time, stay hungry and don't rest on your laurels boys!
  19. Do you even understand why a coaching staff chooses to redshirt a player, because your comment seems as if you don't. He wasn't ready to play at the necessary level as a true freshman. After redshirting as a freshman, he still only had limited playing time the following year. Only recently has he developed into a higher end performer, and it was due to his extra year of training and learning of the game. Had he played that first year, he'd be done with his eligibility and surely not in a position to go to the NFL. He has one more year to continue to go on the upward tick, from which I'm sure UB had planned on it being in their huddle, not Miami's.
  20. 1-He wouldn't be repping UB, if he makes it, he'd be representing Miami. 2-Hurts is a backup QB (since Tua came along, obviously he wants a chance to show that he can play the position more and get more NFL opportunities), the "big name QB from Georgia also was playing as a backup, behind Fromm and wants to start. Is too much being made of it, maybe. Regardless, this is a slap in the face to those in the room at UB in my opinion. The fact that this is happening at so many schools seems like a problem to the college football landscape. The "transfer portal" is said on ESPN daily and is being laughed about frequently. It's a common theme, bouncing around that has started at the high school level recently too. Everyone is "going to the league" and has a number of people in their ears telling them that.
  21. Well said, especially the bolded points. UB, in theory, could play against Miami or a comparable team in a bowl game (or set up a non-league contest against them down the road). We shouldn't have guys who desire to leave to go to a place like Miami. It's not as if he's from Miami and wants to return home, he's from Michigan. To me, he just is saying that UB isn't good enough for him and he is showing his (now ex) teammates that is the case.
  22. This is my worry however, that this is going to become a new "thing", not just for us, but for others also. If you're the backup QB or not going to get time (in any position) because you're stuck behind someone (or several), and decide to make a move in your final season in order to receive an opportunity to actually see the field, I understand it and wouldn't disagree with your choice. As a starter and all-league performer, this shouldn't be done. To me, it's a slap in the face of the school that developed you to the position that you've gotten to.
  23. That's pretty sweet looking! Unfortunately, he's not playing due to injury. Great season by him and I wish that they were still playing this weekend.
