MKBullsfan Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I think it has to be at Alumni next year. We need the Bulls logo on the court. Find a way to bring in portable AC units or something. Forget ECC or Buffalo State. Make it Alumni so we can showcase the school too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to pump up his TBT win totals I’m sure. They seem to have done better away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It’s tough to even suggest hosting at KBC because attendance for it isn’t going to be that great. Bring your tank tops for alumni! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring your tank tops for alumni! I think if we could solve the heat issue, we could get Alumni rockin' for this event, especially the Blue Collar U team. Would be great for the men's and women's current players too. Seeing the Alumni still proud of where they played and what they accomplished. Maybe think twice about portalling out (if that can be used as a verb 🙂. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NOTHING on campus other than the game. No place to eat, drink, hang out. I was at the 2004 Frozen Four in Buffalo and it was a disaster because, at that time, there was nothing to do around the arena. If you insist on holding this at Alumni, better make sure the air conditioning is working, and you will need to build a "TBT Village" nearby with food trucks and beer tents. Otherwise it needs to be in the city. You can promote UB all you want during the telecast. It doesn't have to be at Alumni. It's simply not the best venue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a bunch or food trucks, beer tents outside would be a great cross marketing event for UB. Get to show off the school, host TBT with UB Alumni playing, then work with the city to have a "food and beer of Buffalo" fest happening outside. The marketing opportunities for both the school and the city write them selfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their football stadium next door is worse than ours. I think we have more stuff going on near the area than Dayton did. We have an art gallery that's closed. A concert hall that is closed. A lake. Maybe the Japanese food place in the Commons will be open. Dayton's area isn't really even on campus. Their concession stands did take credit cards, which I do not believe is a requirement to be a member of the prestigious A-10 conference.

mikescherrer8 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Tonights game is making me a little nervous. Team heart fire runs a very tall squad. Their starters are: Gary Mcghee 6’11” 250 Raphiael Putney 6’10” 185 Tevin Mack 6’6” 227 Deandre Liggins 6’6” 210 Eric Washington 6’0” 180 I wonder how tough it’s gonna be to get important rebounds today. I think this is going to be a close game the whole way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is going to take the full Blue Collar attitude to win this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is going to be a close game the whole way through. The opponent includes former UB nemesis Homer Drew as the GM. I'll never forget those games against Valpo in the Mid-Con days. Hopefully this UB squad can finally get one over on Homer. The Blue Collar squad just needs to play their game, move the ball until the open shot arrives, giving up the good shot for the better shot. Also, Defense to Offense is their game. Team ball will get it done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Run run run them into the f***ing ground. Let's see if Gary McGhee has any wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue32 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 They are bigger but their starting lineup doesn’t really represent how they play. McGhee plays the second least minutes on their team. Their top 5 in minutes go 6’0” 6’1” 6’7” 6’3” 6’10”. By comparison our top 5 in minutes go 6’3” 6’6” 6’0” 6’8” 6’3”. EC Matthews being out hurts our depth on the wing but I’m glad we’ll have Davonta as an additional hound on the ball. I’d like to see one of him/Dontay on the court at all times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Just impressive mental resolve by this group. The way they stepped up the d and executed the offense inside of 4 minutes. What’s most impressive to me is that these men have never stopped maturing and developing their games. I see improvement and growth both as a team and individuals. I love these guys.

MKBullsfan Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Love this team. Even when some of our best players are having off nights like Wes today the rest of the team steps up. It was stressful after Perk blew that dunk and then we let them back in. But this team is mentally tough and scrappy. I feel good about the rest of the way. Just have to out work every team and most of these other teams can’t run with us. Also, I want them to play Carruthers, Jordan, Wes, CJ and Perk together. We would lock down every team regardless of height. Just a thought. Go Bulls/Blue Collar Edited July 30, 2022 by MKBullsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promotherobot Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 How great is it seeing this team? I love it. We have a real shot at winning it all. Definitely coming to Buffalo next year for TBT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasketBull Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Say whatever you want about the quality of TBT itself but there is nothing else in the world that would allow us to actually revisit the glory days of UB basketball by watching all these guys play together again in the same system working towards the same goal. I for one couldn’t be more thankful that the TBT exists for that reason. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
