PromoTheRobot Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) USA today coaches poll. Okay, it's just one vote, but I don't think they ever got one before. That would make them #39. With the Bills circling the drain again that game at RWS may be the first meaningful football played in Buffalo in a decade. PTR Edited November 10, 2013 by PromoTheRobot
NobesBLO13 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks for the update promo. Proud feeling to be an alumnus.

This will only help get more recruits and develop their program the more exposure they get
PromoTheRobot Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 Don't forget they are on ESPNU Tuesday 7:30pm against another good MAC team, Toledo. PTR
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Cheers! Love it! UB '03 Myself, UB '90... That is when you were attending your first Bills game! Boy is time flying!
BuffaloBill Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Don't forget they are on ESPNU Tuesday 7:30pm against another good MAC team, Toledo. PTR Toledo's RB is the son of the RB who led my HS to the section 6 championship. I know David is proud.
bbb Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Is this thread going to be dragged to the college football forum that nobody goes to just like the last UB one..........Congrats to the Bulls!

I understand why but a special exception should be made for UB, being our local college team. Besides they are having a great year unlike the Sabres and Bills. Maybe some folks can root for them just to have a little distraction from the misery. PTR

PTR Agree 100% I'm a die-hard sabres fan but I'm actually more excited for and will go out if my way to watch the UB game. I haven't done that once with the sabres this year after week 1 I understand why but a special exception should be made for UB, being our local college team.

Security Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 If they can somehow beat Northern Illinois they could be top 20. I think that would be the MAAC Championship game if UB wins out. NI needs to beat Ball State still, big game this Wednesday. Northern Illinois is ranked 15th. So, by the time UB would play them, assuming they win out, they could be top 12 and playing for a BCS Bowl berth.
uncle flap Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 The pessimist in me thinks that UB got that vote from either Quinn, or someone trying to bolster Baylor's bid for a better bowl game. The optimist in me thinks that it's a sign of things to come and this year's squad is not simply a flash in the pan. However, the great season so far won't mean a thing unless they keep making noise from here on out. I'd love to see the NY branding pay off, and get some more top recruits in there.
eball Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks for the reminder on this Tuesday night's game.

Yeah I had that thought too about Quinn voting for his own team. But there must be some mechanism to prevent that. I mean what coach wouldn't vote for his own team? PTR
bbb Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 They do vote for their own team, because Lane Kiffin got caught in a lie last year (no surprise there). He said he didn't vote for USC #1 and then somehow they found out he did.
