Buffalo's pro sports teams have had their share of successes, though falling short of the ultimate prize. Especially rich coming from a UB Bulls fan. I don't see any national championship banners or trophies anywhere, if you want to have a d*** measuring contest here. Crappy college programs, or their fans, shouldn't throw stones at the beloved local pro teams. You're not gonna win any friends that way.

rma Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 4 hours ago, promotherobot said: I don't see any national championship banners Just a small correction, there is one, but it's about as relevant as St. Bonaventure's Final Four or NIT Championship. For better or for worse, Buffalo is a Bills-obsessed city. Even when the team was bad. BSF can say that nobody likes a loser, but to Brook's point when the Bills were awful they still had a huge amount of support. We all know people where their entire identity is the Buffalo Bills. IMO I think the Sabres have a little bit of that, but so many fans have had enough with the past decade of play and the rotation of coaches that the "nobody likes a loser" might be coming true there. There's individual games where there's some turnout, but overall attendance and fan engagement is way down. 4 hours ago, promotherobot said: Crappy college programs, or their fans, shouldn't throw stones at the beloved local pro teams.

RecoveringHillbilly Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) New QB depth transfer from ADMA's former school.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he was productive so hopefully good depth if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBinMD Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Our TE Room is going to need to be expanded, these dudes are HUGE!

UBinMD Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 You can see some other chips falling now too since we are a week away from the Spring game. Certain players are likely seeing where they are in the pecking order and are looking for a different opportunity. I respect that, at least they waited to see how spring practice fell. I wish them the best. So far 3 have entered the portal today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 This one was a very odd situation. He played a great game at Maryland and then disappeared without much narrative. The family spoke out a bit and seemed to imply he was not treated well, maybe an injury thing? Anyway, he’s restarting at JUCO, so I hope he finds a good path.

I was at the Maryland game and agree, he was all over the place. I recall some solid hits and tight coverage and thinking we have a baller back there. I assumed he was going to transfer to a P5 program. I don't like to speculate on this stuff...but I will anyway. I think his departure has more to do with Hudgens, than anything negative with the Bulls program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his departure has more to do with Hudgens, than anything negative with the Bulls program. I was at the game too, I actually spoke to some of his family at halftime on the concourse, told them what a great game he was having, he’s from that area. All seemed good and then the next week he didn’t play and he disappeared. No idea. I agreed that I thought he might even end up at Maryland!

UBinMD Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I looked up a couple of our Transfer Portal losses to see how their season started. I don't remember all of them, but here is what I found: Jamari Gassett (Florida A&M) - 1 rec, 0 yards; 1 carry, -5 yards (won against Deion-less Jacksonville St.) Jake Hasz (UNLV) - starter @ C on the 2-deep, 268 yards rushing and 5 TD, I'm guessing the OL played well (won against Bryant) Jackson Paradis (UMass) - not shown on the depth chart (4-RB listed), maybe he has to sit-out this season due to transfer? Brian Plummer (Alabama A&M) - looks like he switched from QB to S. I did not see any stats he recorded in their first game (Loss to Vanderbilt Keyshawn Cobb (West Virginia) - listed as #2 at FS on the depth. Didn't see any registered stats for game #1 (Loss to Penn St.) Casey Case (Stony Brook) - Starting QB: 14/40 for 163 yards, 3 Int, 1 Sack. 2 rushes, 3 yards (Loss to #22 Delaware) Trevor Borland (Western Kentucky) - #2 TE on depth chart, 0 rec, 0 yards (Won against South Florida) Matt Myers (UT Martin) - No longer shown on the official site Roster, so not sure if he left the program? There are 5 QBs currently (not including Myers) On another note, Dylan McDuffie made his Kansas debut. He had 6 carries, 40 yards, 1 TD in their win against Missouri St. He's listed on their depth chart as #3 of 5 at RB. We will see how much time he gets as the competition ramps up. He went from 206car/1,049yard/11TD in 2021 to 22car/45yard/1TD in 2022. Hopefully he can finish his career strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
