UB needs to stop the New York State politics grandstanding about weather in Amherst that wasn’t that bad if the Bonnies can play UB should have played. Again if UB wanted no fans at UB Stadium fine the game was supposed to be played on CBS Sport Network Western New York would have liked to watch the football game to get our mind off the snow storm. Missed opportunity as always with UB Bulls football. I watched today Niagara Purple Eagles in Dublin, Ireland, St Bonaventure Bonnies at home Reilly Center, UB Bulls basketball at the Virgin Islands and then the Buffalo Sabres at night in Toronto in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo You know…..I have always let you say your piece, and have at times stuck up for you when others make your posts the brunt of their jokes. You have your opinions and you’re entitled to them, and God knows UB needs as many passionate fans as it can get…….: BUT……take this with all the respect it can muster……this take is way off base. I’m 99% sure that UB had absolutely no say in whether this game was going to be played this week. I can guarantee you the writing was on the wall when Akron Equipment truck was within a half hour of here and was told to turn around, on Thursday. and that didn’t stop people at UB from trying to keep the game on by keeping the field cleaned off and continuing to prepare for the game as if it was still going to be played. And I can also guarantee you that people would have been out there today, clearing snow to have the field ready for today. IMHO, the last entity to take any blame in this is UB. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 It would be nice to finish the season on a high note with 2 home wins and leave no doubt for a bowl bid. Carry some momentum into next season and make another run at the MACC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Line vs Akron currently has UB -11.5. With 3 of Akron’s last 4 losses by 7 pts or less, their domination of NIU last week, and UB’s 3-game losing streak, 11.5 feels high. Will the players be motivated to beat a weaker opponent and go to a Bowl? Will the coaches have them ready to play a full 60 minutes of football? Will anyone be in the stands to witness it?

Dolac will play hard, will he be joined by anyone? 2. I have no confidence in the coaching staff doing anything to help this squad, so they better figure it out themselves. 3. If there are 1000 people in the stands I will be shocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are selected to get people to go to Detroit the day after Christmas. Ditto for anyone during the season picking a conference leader to go to the Bahamas. Anyone going to Detroit for the conference championship game does not go to the Bahamas Bowl, equipment gets shipped before the championship game.

zigo230 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I'm not counting Akron as a guaranteed win unfortunately. The Zips hung close this season in games vs. Bowling Green, CMU, Kent St and EMU...before finally getting a big W at NIU. They've played the same competition close so it's not like they are completely outclassed playing a UB team that is messed up mentally right now. I think Akron comes to Amherst with no pressure and plays loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChubbyHubby Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I've heard that the refs F-d up on his miss this past Saturday. They took too long to place the ball. Once the ball was finally placed, they had a total of 8 seconds to get the play off. It was all very rushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ended up a good 3-5 yards short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officiating was not our problem in the loss to Kent St. but it really does seem like Buffalo is still considered a MAC "Outsider" the other programs have been together 50+ years so UB winning anything seems an affront to the conference and they need to keep us in our place. Maybe it's my bias but in many sports it feels that way. We are the only team in the conference that never gets "home" calls in anything.
