Tack the player cards that are given out at each of the basketball games. That would make for a nice group of photographs showing off UB. Also grab some of the various team posters that are available. Free is a great price point on all of these items as well!

Are we a JV program? I thought that we were a Division 1 FBS program that competes in the same division as the P5 schools. I'm not completely naive in thinking that it is completely a level playing field (as I know the difference between the P5/non P5, just ask UCF and their "national championship from a year ago), but still, UB is not a school that is hoping to have their players "draw interest from P5 programs". When they recruit guys out of high school, and some of those guys have P5 interest, that's great. Once they are at UB, we shouldn't be hoping that they "draw P5 interest". We want them to improve here, win here, draw NFL interest as a UB Bull. I don't give a flying fig about someone getting this P5 interest and then leaving us for a "better place". These aren't end of season JV or Triple-A call ups. Maybe I'm way, way off in my thinking, but I really don't think so. If UB football's goal is to have these guys move on to "better programs", then we are wasting a lot of time and money with the football program. We should be wanting to build UB and their players to excel for US, not the P5 teams as they take our All-league players in their final year.

Realistically, I don't know of too many presidential scholarships that are given out for students to sit out a year and improve themselves, without completing any coursework. Essentially, that's what the athletic redshirt does. It allows the athlete to sit out, while on scholarship, and improve their ability. In my mind, UB doesn't use those redshirt years to build up their players, just so they can go elsewhere when they are in their final year. As for all of these doctors, they are graduating from UB, heading into their field of work with a UB degree. I'm certain that whatever degree KJ earned is not the field that he wishes to pursue a job in. His desired job is football. Again, if KJ left UB for another school to go into their graduate degree program to become whatever it is that he wishes to do, and not play football, I'm absolutely wishing him nothing but the best. Unfortunately, he used us to become a better player and another team is reaping the rewards of UB's development of him.

I love how your points are not even close to the same as this situation. Colin Lisa came here after leaving UAB once it dropped football. When it got football back, he went back there. Hardly the same as recruiting a guy, developing him for 4 years, then having him leave when at his peak. Same goes for the med student. The med student didn't get 4 free years of scholarship, 1 of which was given without having him play, just so he could go elsewhere for that prime year. We're awfully cuddly on this board. Once again, Yay for KJ, UB just will take the L on this one, while most on here think that it's a great thing.

You're funny. I'll remember that one in a few years. Who are all these huge stars that you're speaking of that are going to replace players that our staff developed? We need to develop guys who may be "under the radar" or "not quite developed". We need those guys that we can develop to play for us, not someone else. We don't generally get the "polished" guys coming out of HS. I must be on some other school's fan page if this is untrue.

If that's the case, UB should never redshirt another player again. Why do it, so they can play elsewhere? If that's the "new world", then play your 4 years and see ya. If you needed another year of development, oh well, too bad so sad.

Wow, ok. So in a year or two, when those guys or another position player chooses to do the same thing, will you be "Eating" well then? Our redshirt of KJ was well worth it for UB football. Spent a scholarship (that could've been used somewhere else for someone "who wanted to be here") so that he could get bigger/faster/stronger just so he can use those skills at Miami. Yay! Go KJ Go! We're so happy and proud of you!

Ok then, if that's your thought process, then UB football will never achieve anything. Because in your mind, and evidently in some of our player's minds, we are nothing more than a farm system.

Oh, I'm sorry. Yay! Congratulations KJ! You're wonderful! I hope that you enjoyed the $200k of scholarship from UB and if somehow, some way you get drafted, on draft day, it will be "KJ Osborn from Miami". Are we that lame that we are happy for him? If we are, I need to deeply reconsider my purchase of tickets and amount of donations in the future.

I hope he falls flat on his face. I love how he "thanks" UB and the coaches, while essentially saying that he's better than the school, coaches and his teammates. Maybe he can drop some more TD passes (2 gimmes), like he did in the MAC championship.

Worst decision ever. Just drop the ball into the lane. At worst, they grab the ball and score 2 points and the game ends. To throw it far away with a chance to not be touched is moronic. Regardless, incredible play by MU on the inbounds catch and score. Also, Howard is ridiculous.

Thank goodness he nailed the 2 FT or else there would've been no story. DJ Carstensen and Ken Turner were 2 of the 3 refs. Classic game, definitely ranks in my top 5 all time at Alumni and will never fall outside of it.

Yes, Charlie is definitely missed. The "No Goddamn socks" and "Buzz em again" game was better, but Charlie will forever be one of my fav coaches, always played to the crowd and had his team ready to keep the score at 50 points. RIP

There are tons of local students that should attend, but likely won't. I think that the crowd will be strong regardless, 5k+. The community is excited to jump on this bandwagon. Home Sabres game cuts into it slightly, but the seats should be filled (I think, and hope!). Can't wait. Is it 7pm yet??? UB plays hard, excited in their own arena, brings home a 15 point W. Go Bulls!

JT4 has a bad attitude on the floor, as has had that attitude all four years at EMU. I'm certainly no fan of his. He plays dirty at times in my opinion and pouts when things aren't going his way. Thankfully our players don't play that way!

I can feel comfortable in wishing him well if he's heading the the NFL draft. I hope that it works out well for him. I'm surprised by the choice for sure, but he's a UB Bull only, so I am 100% wishing him nothing but the best.

Rothstein dropped us out of his rankings altogether. These pollsters are silly. I guess 15 point road wins are bad. It will be interesting to see where we land tomorrow. In theory, we should move up 2 spots, in front of ASU and Wisconsin, but with guys like this voting, I won't hold my breath.

I agree 100%. He always used to do it, especially when the officiating was sub-par. Made them stick around for a few extra minutes. I found it kind of funny when he was at UB. I found it more enjoyable being on the winning end of it last night.

I love Nate Oats. His comments are always real and honest. He believes in his guys, both players and staff. They all seem to fully buy in to everything he's selling. It's great. "The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be" applies perfectly with regard to him. He's a "coach" in every sense of the word!

Yep, hit the nail on the head, in addition to other problems I have with this whole thing.

My blue is already on. Is it 7pm yet?! Let's go Bulls!

Sadly, we haven't had the greatest of success with the grad transfers that we've gotten in football. We're due for a big hit, I hope!

Dude is amazing. No other way to describe it!

Hopefully Mabry isn't next. Any of our OL 4th year guys? I'm not pleased with all this whatsoever.

Fantastic. QB, S & C coach, #1 returning WR. Nice
