  1. The wi-fi issue is not confined to Alumni Arena. It is an issue on both the Main Street and Amherst campuses.
  2. I was only able to catch about the last 4:00 of the game yesterday. From what I saw down the stretch, this could not be less true. They wiped out a late lead to go up by one and then had two shots at the buzzer to hit a game winner. teams that have quit would have packed it in when they down 7 with about 4:00 left. They did not pack anything in.
  3. Looks like they are among a group of players for whom the 2020 season did not count as a year played because of COVID. There will be a number of graduate students next year playing for a fifth or sometimes a sixth season.
  4. Much to the chagrin of a former UB women's basketball player/SA President. I am going to compare Coach Burke to situation that Geno Auriemma is in right now. The UConn game yesterday against South Carolina looked very much like the UB game on Saturday. Both UB and UConn have very short benches and it was obvious that UConn was exhausted with their limited bench. South Carolina basically put them away late in the third quarter and early in the fourth, only to have UConn make a run at them that ended up short, making the game look closer than it really was. So I am not sure you want to fire a first year coach who is doing exactly what one of the greatest coaches in history has to do this season. Next season UConn will have Paige Bueckers back and UB will have Coach Burke's first real recruiting class. People say the current generation wants instant gratification. They have nothing on you.
  5. I guess Danny White is off your list for Thanksgiving dinner this year.
  6. He was born in Wisconsin and went to college in Wisconsin. That is why he wanted to play Wisconsin - Milwaukee in the tournament in Belfast.
  7. Could not have said it any better.
  8. Another way to get extra rest for players is to take them out if you get a stoppage shortly before a media timeout. It gives the time until the media timeout plus the media timeout to rest.
  9. Did you know what teams from the West we are going to play last Monday?
  10. It is the same order as last year. It would be easy just to flip sites, but I do not think the MAC would do that. Especially sending a school to Akron and Kent State in back to back weeks.
  11. From the Governor's website: More details: https://www.budget.ny.gov/pubs/archive/fy24/ex/book/briefingbook.pdf Looks to be a big win for UB in general, especially with the new funds for the endowment. University Advancement expects to hit the $1,000,000,000.00 goal in the Boldly Buffalo campaign this year. They need about another $80,000.000.00
  12. That is not the whole schedule. The set dates are the first four weeks only. We are playing same schools as last year. When each game will be played is TBA. The only news in that release is that we are not playing Old Dominion. We are playing at Louisiana the week we were scheduled to play Old Dominion. Louisiana comes to Buffalo on 9-21-30.
  13. After the Baylor football game on a Friday night you came out against beer sales at UB games. Prior to the game you were all for it. Why the switch to beer sales again? Please explain, especially since the sales seem to have little to no impact on ticket sales.
  14. Jessika Schiffer (Rider) Games 20 Min Per Game 32.5 Points 9.1 FG % .364 Reb per game 2.0
  15. Not yet a conference game. Oklahoma is still in the Big XII.
  16. She also had to build a team from scratch in about a month. She ended up with one player from the entire roster from last season. That is why it is heavy with fifth year players.
  17. Greg Know has moved back to Mississippi State as Senior Offensive Analyst. https://hailstate.com/news/2023/1/20/football-arnett-rounds-out-coaching-staff.aspx
  18. I was unable to see the game, so I will not comment on the officials last night. That being said they are NOT MAC officials. This is not football. In basketball officials can and do work multiple conferences. They may be "approved" by the MAC but they are not exclusively MAC officials. Last Saturday, Gene Steratore's (CBS' in house ref) brother worked the UB game. He has also worked Big 10 games. He has worked games played in the Ivy League. There are officials that will work multiple games in a day and up to four games over a weekend if geography and game times work.
  19. Clearly he has one or else he would to be able to transfer. I do not think he would have a second year. Next year wlil be his fourth playing. Unless the NCAA changed their rules over 2020, he does not get a COVID year because the Ivy League did not play in 2020.
  20. Check by the wrestling area on the ground floor. There is a 1978 National Championship trophy there.
  21. The President of UB when football was dropped was not Robert Ketter. It was Martin Myerson, who went on to become President of the University of Pennsylvania. Acting President Peter F. Regan in charge on the day football was dropped. The decision to drop football was made by the people who funded football. The, students. Football was too warlike and the vote to drop football was in part an anti-war action. UB would not have dropped football as they had three games set to be on ABC that fall and lost all of the TV money. It was Robert Ketter who behind the decision to bring football back. when it was brought back it was still funded by the students. For the first few years the budget to run the entire program was $25,000.00 ($121412.08 in 2022 dollars according to the Minneapolis Federal Reserve's CPI calculator). When football was brought back all sports that had been at the Division I level were dropped to Division III except baseball which remained at Division I and ice hockey that remained at Division II. Within weeks to months there was already talk of trying to bring all UB teams back up to Division I. It took a while, but eventually it was completed. History lesson over for today.
