  1. I am not much on these computer rankings, but what numbers are being input into the computers to rank teams that have no current stats? GIGO!
  2. Yes. Whether it is deserved or not Miami called itself a "public Ivy". Kent State is no where close to that level. Academically Miami is either the second or third best academic school in the conference, with Ohio. UB is a clear number one on the academic level.
  3. Can we stop arguing over Siena basketball attendance. Who cares?
  4. The have molded cleats on all shoes. It is not the old days with screw in cleats that were changed based upon weather and ground conditions. It is also unlikely that you could get any player today to play in regular sneakers, even on a grass field, the way the Giants did in 1934 when they switched to sneakers at halftime to win the NFL Championship over the Bears.
  5. Ditto. Also there is no such thing as snow cleats for a plastic field.
  6. Tyree Jackson has a shot at being activated this week. The Giants starting TE went down Sunday. Jackson also helps wit the QB situation. He cannot be worse than DeVito was on Sunday as the third string QB if Tyrod Taylor cannot play on Sunday. If Jackson does play he could have an on field reunion with Malcom Koonce.
  7. I have no idea. I just know what architects have told me about the issues with trying to lower the field and building out and above the existing stadium.
  8. This is an engineering and architectural nightmare according to architects. If you lower the field you will have to build a "bathtub" to keep water out on one end. The other end has massive rock, which will be a pain to move. The bathtubs are always a potential leak and flood, which is why they are avoid in construction, if at all possible. The better move and less expensive move is to build a steel structure, the way south end zone stands are constructed out from the 200 tier and build over the existing stadium and out over the track, once it is moved. The field does not have to be lowered, which will tons of money. This method would allow a much faster turnover than lowering the field.
  9. This why they are fixing it up. https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-relays/bahamas24/news/news/world-athletics-relays-bahamas-24-is-set-for-may-4-5-2024-in-nassau
  10. It is the first of all the bowl games. Except for the support staffs, who have to deal with customs and passports it is one of the great bowl games. Having been to Toronto, Boise, Mobile, The Bahamas and Montgomery, a few days in the Atlantis, beats any other place UB has gone for a bowl game.
  11. A regular season conference champion that loses its tournament will no longer get an automatic bid. They will take the top two NET ranked teams from the Power 5 plus the Big East for the first 12 teams in the NIT, regardless of records. They all will at least one game in the NIT. They will then pick 20 more teams to fill the field. https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2023-10-27/nit-board-announces-changes-nit-and-use-experimental-rules The rules involve using the NBA/FIBA width for the lane and a different time out structure.
  12. UB will enter the game in second place in the east by themselves. The three way tie with Ohio and Miami will be broken tomorrow (CBS Sports Network 3:30 EDT) as they play each other, making one 4-1 and the other 3-2 in conference. UB will be in the middle at 3-1.
  13. The game has been moved from the Bahamas to Charlotte, NC for this year. The stadium in the Bahamas is undergoing renovations. This can impact the entire bowl season for the MAC. Normally the division winners are not even considered for the Bahamas Bowl because of the logistics of getting all of the equipment to the Bahamas. This move could put a division winner in the mix for the game.
  14. Like I said, stupid. Playing back to back weeks would take the luster off the real Army - Navy game. Almost as dumb as the Big 10 getting rid of divisions and having the top two teams play in the Conference Championship game. Do you think Michigan and Ohio State would have wanted to play each other on back to back weeks last year? Instead of both in the games, a sweep by one school would have kept the other out of the playoff, a split and possibly neither would have made the playoff.
  15. You do realize that UB has no say in scheduling and that here is no way they would play the final regular season game at home every year. They also would have to go through major hoops to put a game on local TV as the conference controls with ESPN the TV rights. So the Little Three gets an automatic bid to the NCAA? Not even Philadelphia's Big Five gets an automatic bid. No automatic bid, no NCAA basketball money and Canisus and Niagara could end up like St. Francis (NY), without an athletic department.
  16. This is just stupid. Based upon the early discussions of this move (which has been rumored for weeks already) the Army-Navy game will never be a conference game. It will remain being played the week after conference championship games. What if Army - Navy is the championship game? Do they play back to back weeks? Which game is cancelled? What if one team is in the conference championship game? They have to play back to back weeks with the other school getting a full two weeks rest before the game. The generals and admirals will just love that when their academy loses. Army was in a conference once before for football only. It was Conference USA. How did that work out for them? What makes them think that it will work this time?
  17. People on here were were acting as if there would never be a coach or a team. Internally, it was a lot smother that it appeared on this board. Most of the stuff floated did not come from UB.
  18. With the exhibition game tomorrow, it appears we have a coach, staff and players. Use this as a reminder that the next time no coach has been hired in five days, to just relax, everything will be ok by the start of the next season.
  19. For those in the New York City area, the Rockets are in New York twice in January.
  20. "If you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks" Bill Parcells
  21. Athletics Departments at any school cannot raise NIL money.
  22. Kickoff slightly after 15:30 on ESPN+. Should be the last streamed game of the year. After this all games are midweek MACtion games.
