Oh I am not getting carried away, I know they lack talent. But the locker room atmosphere is a challenge when losing is expected.

Agreed. O'Reilly is a very good player that they should keep and be part of the turn around. He is getting bashed for his post season comments, but he just said what at least half the players in the locker room felt at some point during the year. The psyche of this team is going to be the hardest thing to change.

From the Buffalo News: UB football agrees to future games against Big Ten schools The University at Buffalo football team will visit Big Ten schools Ohio State in 2020 and Maryland in 2022, UB announced Wednesday. UB travels to Ohio State on Sept. 19, 2020, for its second visit to Ohio Stadium. The teams previously met to open the 2013 season with Ohio State earning a 40-20 victory in a game best remembered for Khalil Mack's 2.5 sacks and a pick six. The Bulls face Maryland on Sept. 3, 2022, in the first meeting between the schools.

This is rather obvious, GMTM ruined the farm system. He just traded assets and picks like they didn't matter. Botterill comes from the Pittsburgh philosophy of building a strong minor league system and he has already started to do that in a short period of time. The future is beginning to look a whole lot better for the Sabres... http://buffalonews.com/2018/05/16/lawrence-pilut-five-things-to-know/ The Sabres signed Lawrence Pilut to a two-year, entry-level contract on Tuesday and the 22-year-old Swede should have an immediate chance to crack the NHL roster. Here are five things to know about the team's newest option on the blueline: 1). Award-winning: Pilut was defenseman of the year in the Swedish League and was also the recipient of the Borje Salming Trophy, given to the top Swedish-born defenseman. It's named after the Hall of Fame Toronto Maple Leafs standout who became one of the first Europeans to come to North America when he signed in 1973. Previous winners of the award, first given out in 2008, include Nashville star Mattias Ekholm (2012) and San Jose's Tim Heed (2015). Pilut led his team, HV71 Jonkopingm, in scoring with 38 points in 52 games, a figure that also topped all defensemen in the league. 2). Playoff pedigree: Pilut has played 24 postseason games in Sweden over the last three years and helped HV71 to the Swedish League championship in 2016-17. HV71 went 33-14-5 during the regular season and 12-4 in the playoffs, winning the championship series over Brynas on an overtime goal in Game Seven. The team's hope for a repeat was quickly dashed this season with a two-game sweep in the first round. 3). Lineage: Pilut's father, Larry, is a Detroit native who played collegiately at Michigan-Dearborn and Illinois-Chicago before a nine-year career as a center in the Swedish League. Larry Pilut's career high in goals was 31 with Svegs IK in 1991-92 and his career highs in both assists (42) and points (67) came in 1999-00, his final season for Tingsryds AIF. 4). Antipin is likely free: The signing of Pilut probably means the Sabres aren't going to have Victor Antipin on their roster next season. Antipin said on locker cleanout day he had not made a decision on staying in the NHL or returning to the KHL in 2018-19. Chatter on TSN earlier this month said that Antipin was leaning toward the KHL. Pilut is getting the rookie maximum of $925,000 for his two-year deal, the same salary Antipin earned for his one year with Buffalo. 5). The lineup on ? Before they add Rasmus Dahlin with the No. 1 pick at the draft, the Sabres' defense candidates with 2018-19 cap hits currently looks like this: Rasmus Ristolainen ($5.4 million), Zach Bogosian ($5.142 million), Marco Scandella ($4 million), Nathan Beaulieu ($2.4 million), Jake McCabe ($1.6 million), Will Borgen ($864,166), Pilut ($925,000), Casey Nelson ($812,500), Brendan Guhle ($697,500), Taylor Fedun ($650,000) and Matt Tennyson ($650,000). Justin Falk is an unrestricted free agent.

Ask the Seinäjoki Crocodiles who has 2 thumbs and rushed for 148 yards....This Guy!!!

Would you expect anything less from WEO? Sounds like a really fun dude...

Watch the Fitz roast video that was recently posted, oddly enough, it explains it fairly well.

First of all, it totally sucks that someone recorded that as it might deter future roasters from being as candid. Secondly, I would like to thank the person that recorded that as it was F---ing hilarious! Anyone who boo hoo'd the roasting of Fred or roasts in general, tell me that wasn't great and all in good fun. I laughed the whole way through as Murph was really funny as well, but Fitz killed it!!!! Also, I think the Shrek joke may have been ad-libbed, but that was a great way to start...

When you factor in injury settlements and replacement signings for injured players, how much cap space should a team have available at the beginning of the season?

Yup, still cash only. Really good cheeseburger soup as well!

Do you mean Grover's?

GO BILLS!!!

I remember those posts by Ghost, they were so detailed. I was joking a bit about Jack, I think he has a chance. Found this in an article about him on the cbssports website: A shocker: My Boy Jack, listed at 30-1, makes a serious run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. "My Boy Jack will be closing late in the Derby, which should have a very strong pace," Demling said. "He always runs a solid race and will pass plenty of tired horses late." Since February, My Boy Jack, trained by Keith Desormeaux, has won the Lexington Stakes at Keeneland and Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park. He's hit the board in eight of his last nine races, winning three times. Back him with confidence on your Kentucky Derby betting slips.

Jack is the 10 horse. And yes, as a Buffalo sports fan, I am tempted. But as a money fan, not so much...

Noting like going to an OTB for one of the big races. Watch your wallet though, definitely some seedy characters. But it is a lot of fun to bet the ponies all day...

I like Justify and Audible at this point. 7 Justify is the favorite and has a nice gate draw 5 Audible (Most KD winners started in the 5 spot (10) ) Also, like: 11 Bolt D'Oro 16 Magnum Moon (bad draw) 14 Mendelsson I usually play a few exacta and trifecta boxes. ABut I may Key Audible and play some sort of exotic... Who you got? And what type of bets do you place?

Yes, but if you combine Dunkirk and Fredonia, it's over 20k! Not by much though...

Just referring to the OP, his topic was more of a joke. In years past, there would be some good banter. It's a much more serious board now, where insults have become the norm when there is a disagreement regarding anothers opinion...

The year they moved from Fredonia to SJF was the start of the drought. It's just a joke...

Isn't it nice to actually envision their plan? Whether you are right or wrong, there is a definite plan in place to keep this team competitive for years to come...GO BILLS!

Wow, do you like to post topics....They can indeed afford to draft more defense, this isn't a one or two year build project.

If they wanted to groom a backup, they could have. But they really need a starter. Not saying Allen is that starter, but I think he has a better chance than Rudolph.

This is being discussed all through the 3rd round pick thread, but it was such a great moment, perhaps it needs it's own topic. Just an awesome moment!
