BrooklynBull Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Only one home game at night in November, Toledo. The Bowling Green game will begin anywhere from 11:00 until 2:00 (most likely) off of past on the day after Thanksgiving. For the first time in a number of years two real bye weekends. In addition to the Kent State and Toledo games, the Penn State game will be available across the country on at least the Big 10 Network, or a regular ESPN channel. The game times will not be announced for the first three weeks and the mid-week games for another few months. Weeks four through the Eastern Michigan game will be announced 12 days before the date of the game to accommodate television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Finally a game down in VA (Liberty) but still more than a 3.5 hour drive from my area in Maryland. I'm still gonna try and make that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe UConn next year... I like it from the perspective of extra time to prepare for Penn State and also (hopefully) better attendance and lower temperature. Depending on my Friday game (likely Wake), might check out either Vandy or Tennessee or try to doubleheader the two games being played in Charlotte 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it's the middle of Thanksgiving break, why have the game on campus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bull_trojan Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 So it's nice the MAC Champ game is on SATURDAY It stink that the MAC continues to schedule 4 teams on the final Tuesday and the other 8 teams on Friday, providing 4 teams with the potential of 3 extra rest days before the MACCG, (certainly didnt hurt NIU last year) Thanksgiving week games are a problem, but it's the last game for our seniors, and they deserve to play it at home. I wanted to do a series with Stony to play on Thanksgiving weekend, so every other year we're either playing downstate or upstate, but FCS playoffs get in the way, maybe future Army series could be set up that way, although i'm sure no UB coach wants to get beat up by Army before a potential Conference Championship Game, so back to no good solution than just playing BG.

enrique14150 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Man this schedule is not helping UB around here so far. The home opener was on the same night as a Bills home preseason game. The Temple game coming up is on the same weekend as the Bills home opener. At least homecoming is opposite a Bills road game. It's tough enough to get attention around here without going right up against the Bills. I hope they market the heck out of that Oct 5 game because to me that's the best chance they have of getting a good crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecoveringHillbilly Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I'll post ongoing tv ratings I find in this this thread. UB @ Penn St - 2.17Mil viewers, local rating TBD Edited September 10, 2019 by RecoveringHillbilly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecoveringHillbilly Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Thanks to Alan Pergament for a nice write up on Saturday's College Football ratings. UB drew a 7.6 average, peaking at 10.2 when we we playing our best. Similar to the 7.8 (11.3) on WGRZ for Toledo last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyquil Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Maybe at some point they could recruit a kicker that can actually make FGs and extra points. Jesus Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
