Nothing to Fear with Quinn at UB

By Chris on December 21, 2009

By Chris
Cincinnati offensive coordinator Jeff Quinn will be named the next head coach of the University at Buffalo’s football program tomorrow.

Quinn interviewed for the position last Monday and apparently impressed Athletic Director Warde Manuel enough to land the job.
Hiring a big name like Quinn is a great sign for the UB Athletic Department. Back when UB first went [...]

There were rumors that UB football coach Turner Gill was a leading candidate for the Kansas job.

So could this be the end of the Warde Manuel-Turner Gill Era in Buffalo?

Mike Williams “Let Buffalo Down” Again

We don’t talk about college football here nearly enough, but it seems Buffalo native and Syracuse standout Mike Williams is done with college football. Again.
Syracuse wide receiver Mike Williams has quit the team.

On Swagger

On Swagger

By Ryan on October 7, 2009

by Ryan
The dictionary definition of swagger simply does not cut it.
In fact it seems to me that if you have to ask yourself what swagger is, if you need a dictionary to define it; then you clearly don’t have swagger and probably never have. Swagger doesn’t come from a book, it comes from something else entirely. A [...]

Bulls Continue To Struggle

By Chris on October 5, 2009

By Chris

A 1-4 start is not what the reigning Mid-American Conference champions envisioned when they prepared to start this season.
However, after a 20-13 loss to Central Michigan at home on Saturday, that’s exactly what the UB Bulls are up against.
Central Michigan left the door open several times for the Bulls but even an improved run game and [...]

Bulls Falter at Temple

By Chris on September 26, 2009

By Chris

Don’t turn the ball over.
For the UB football team, that’s been easier said than done — especially for Zach Maynard.
Following two strong starts, the sophomore quarterback has fallen back to earth. Hard.
In today’s 37-13 loss to conference foe Temple, Maynard committed five turnovers, throwing four interceptions and losing a fumble. Three of those picks were in the red zone [...]

Turnovers Cripple Bulls Again

By Chris on September 20, 2009

By Chris

“Points off turnovers” sounds like a stat more suited for basketball, but it’s proven to be the Achilles’ heel of the UB Bulls’ 2009 season so far.
Saturday night’s 23-17 loss to Central Florida can be traced directly back to costly Buffalo turnovers.
After forcing a fumble of their own on the first drive of the third quarter, the [...]
