Book both weekends now and cancel if you will be going for of the two October home games. That is what I did.

Like a fine wine, this has aged very well. For those who are going book your hotels now, before the Bills schedule is announced. Last year I need a room after the Nebraska game. Prices were through the roof. The Town Suites across from the airport had a room for over $450.00 for one night. I ended up next door and still paid over $350.00 for rooms that are usually about $125.00.

The men are now 5th. From the MAC:

The most important thing is for the game to be played quickly with very few fouls so that it is over in time for ht State of the Union at 9.

This totally inaccurate. Being rated by ESPN does not change what non-employees of UB Athletics can do to convince a potential student athlete from attending UB. As to the second point, if a topic was set up why should this specific recruit come to UB and people post about the benefits of UB, even academically, that would be a violation per the website. Simple way to remember what anyone can do with potential student athletes is simple: Do NOT interact with them in way.

is this the point you are referring to? The donations have nothing to do with trying to talk a recruit into coming to UB. What is talked about on the board is recruiting/commitment status of potential student athletes.

Yes. People are just deciding how much they will donate based upon outcomes.

It all goes into the pot, although I believe there are bonuses sometimes towards groups on giving day. BrooklynBull is a better resource when it comes to that. Everyone here pledges what they want to or can feel comfortable donating. Then everyone makes their actual pledge to the basketball team(s) on giving day by reporting it UB that day. Giving Day this year is between Noon April 26 and Noon April 27. For the last few years someone has indicated that if $15,000.00 is donated to athletics in total that they will match the donation. If everyone here follows through it will help unlock the matching donation. If this will be your first donation to UB Athletics, please read the information here:

My guess is that Homecoming will be against Miami. It is in October and the Toledo game is a little too late for decent weather.

Nope.

I have already made my extra donations for the year, except for giving day, so I am tapped out. For those that do this please make the pledge official between Noon April 26 and Noon April 27, so that the funds are counted in UB Giving Day totals.

Like the men last night, win a get a trip to Cleveland. A Northern Illinois loss would send them there as well.

Except, they flew.

The magic number to lock up a trip to Cleveland is 1 for both the men and women. One win or a loss by Northern Illinois will clinch a spot in Cleveland for both teams.

The winning coach in UB football history passed away on February 15, 2022. It was Coach Dando who gave me a chance to get involved with UB football and UB Athletics. I am forever in debt to Coach Dando for giving me the position. He will be sorely missed by all in the UB Football community. https://ubbulls.com/news/2022/2/17/ub-mourns-the-passing-of-all-time-winningest-football-coach-bill-dando.aspx

True Blue is getting major backing from the University to help build overall school spirit. http://www.buffalo.edu/ubnow/stories/2022/02/true-blue-launch.html

Everyone seems concerned that to win the MAC UB would have to beat Toledo and Ohio in back to back games. Unless the seven or eight seed pulls off an upset teams three trough six would have to beat Ohio and Toledo on back to back nights. Even if UB made it to the two seed and either Ohio or Toledo dropped to the three seed, barring an upset by the sixth or eighth seed, the back to back wins would still have to take place, unless either one were to lose in the semis. Basically, get to Cleveland in three through six and the path to the title will be the same, barring upsets, having to beat Ohio and Toledo back to back. The magic number to get to Cleveland is 5 wins and losses by Bowling Green. Get to Cleveland and just win.

My two cents on this topic that has gotten away from yesterday's game and I have no inside information, just a gut feeling. Coach Jack is not going to Syracuse and she knows it. If she thought that she was going to go Syracuse she would not have signed Donovan McNabb's daughter. Leaving and taking players is always ugly. Why would Coach Jack want to put the daughter of a fellow Orange through all of that BS , when she could have just said do not sign. You can sign later and follow me if/when I leave after this next season or sign when I stay. As George Allen said, the future is now and now means getting ready to beat Northern Illinois on the road, never any easy task for UB.

For the third straight night, the game will be available on Directv. Tonight channel 789. Beats streaming the game.

If Ohio and Toledo are the first and second seeds, the only teams that can avoid laying them on back to back nights are the seven and eight seeds and whomever benefits from the seven or eight seed pulling off an upset.. Otherwise if they win their first game, the other two team in the semis have to play them back to back.

UB ran a profit of just over $54,000.00 from July 1. 2020 through June 30, 2021. Both revenues and expenses were down from the prior year. https://buffalonews.com/sports/college/ubs-ncaa-financial-report-shows-2-5-million-revenue-decrease-in-2020-21-fiscal-year/article_1b083814-8072-11ec-8b47-3f6943ecc39a.html The article also gives a breakdown on revenues and expenses.

The men will be in the Paradise Jam event from November 24-26 on St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Also going, Belmont, Boston College, Drake, George Mason, Howard, Weber State and Wyoming.
