BrooklynBull Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Based on the announcement of the scheduling for the next three seasons (before they have to go back to the drawing board with the addition of UMass) the schedule should be release any day. Travel Tip for Out of Towners: If you are going back to Buffalo for a game or games, book your hotels rooms before the Bills schedule comes out. Once that schedule comes out Saturday night rates will go through the roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, even most of the FCS is announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Not a bad schedule. Will see Cole Snyder on the Grey Turf (Not looking forward to watching that game in Black and White Maction!, I really hate that field). Quick Turnaround against Kent State on 11/26 to finish the season right before Thanksgiving. I like having Ball St and Toledo at Home, Ohio could a tough one. No Bowling Green, which is sad, but it's a pretty positive schedule for us in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 On paper the OOC schedule seems favorable with what *should* be 3 winnable games vs FCS (gulp) Lafayette, vs UMass (3-9 last year) and @ UCONN (also 3-9). Is it too early to predict a 6-6 first season under Coach Lembo? As I think I’ve seen posted on here, that should be the bare minimum expectation every season in the MAC for UB Bulls football in my opinion 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going dual threat, Watts and Gray are likely not the guys. Ogbonna I’m not sure has the arm for the second half of the dual threat. Depillo maybe? He’s 6’6 and I believe he had decent rushing stats. Time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBull Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Homecoming is October 19th against Western Michigan. Out of towners book your rooms now.

That may bring a crowd assuming we can take care of business against Lafayette and play Missouri at a similar level to how we played Wisconsin.

Eventually Todd Gurley and crew took over. UB has played well on the road for their "roadkill" games. Remember leading PSU in State College?

I was there on tickets from a PSU alum and sitting with his family. It was very quiet for a period of time. We also gave Ohio St. all they could handle with #46 on the field that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would go to New Haven. You could change trains there and go to Hartford. Rentschler Field is across the river in East Hartford. But I would just rent a car in New Haven and drive up. Get some pizza in New Haven too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a burger joint by Yale that I had that was really good. They had these funky bread toasters and would throw you out if you asked for ketchup. Forget what it was called, but they were good. Thank you for the tip! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
