Mattymafia Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 They've looked really good so far. The Bills should look into signing Perkins to learn to play TE. The guy is huge, just bullying defenders. Quote

The guy is huge, just bullying defenders. I was about to ask if anyone was watching TBT on ESPN. Blue Collar U. plays in the finals Tuesday at 8pm. (Also on ESPN.) I love basketball but can't stand the NBA. I like college ball and I'm loving TBT. I think it's a great idea for colleges to have alum teams that keep playing. Blue Collar U is mostly guys from the Nate Oats, nationally ranked Bulls teams. It's a blast seeing them play together again. And they are playing the style that Nate Oats coached them to. Quick FYI, the 2023 TBT will feature Buffalo as one of the 8 regional sites. (No word yet in what arena they are playing.) I'm definitely coming in to watch it.

Id say its safe to assume Blue Collar U would play in Buffalo since the Syracuse team played in Syracuse and the Dayton Team played in Dayton. Makes no sense to have them play somewhere else if it'll guarantee ticket sales by having them present. Wish this team had Graves and Segu, but Segu just being in the Summer League probably kept him off the team. Mballa would be a good guy to showcase next year, it would be impossible to stop him AND Perkins at the same time. Man I miss the Nate Oats UB team. 2 Quote
shrader Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 I saw a commercial for this today and didn't have the slightest clue what it was. I was wondering if it was a UB reference with that name and logo, so I'm glad I just stumbled onto this thread. Quote
zow2 Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Winner Winner. Buffalo gets a Championship trophy. o Great to see these UB greats represent Buffalo so well, and such a heart felt tribute after each win to the shooting victims. So happy for these guys to be able to split $1million for winning the Championship. 6 Quote
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 Awesome story and great precursor to the Bills season. Those UB teams were a special group and I love that they won in the jerseys of those victims. Great story all around. It’s also a really cool tournament. Imagine if other sports had winner take all money tournaments. I’d watch. Quote

A large 1 and done football tournament I imagine if they target college alumni to form teams like they do for the tbt it would be a popular event 2 Quote

Frankly I'm surprised more power basketball schools aren't in this tournament. Mostly mid majors and sponsored teams. Quote

Because most high powered schools guys are playing in the NBA Syracuse really is about as high power of a program as you’ll get in this tournament Basically all of their starters are professional basketball players… Most play overseas with some in the NBA… It’s easy to get the overseas guys to come and play for $1 million… The NBA guys won’t do it So schools like Duke.. Where all their stars go to the NBA and not overseas… None of them will ever play in the tournament You’re basically looking for schools with a lot of European pros or G leaguer’s Quote

I said schools with a lot of oversea alumni Are the schools that are heavily in the basketball tournament Schools with a lot of NBA talent are not UB fits in the mold of Putting a lot of guys overseas professionally Edited August 5, 2022 by Buffalo716 1 Quote

Had marquette/Ohio st/Miami/Florida/Xavier/Syracuse probably missing a few as well Think the bigger schools have trouble fielding their teams because how many of them leave early/are at that school to strictly be a pro or just don't have the connection to their team mates that smaller or mid major teams do playing a full 3 or even 4 years together 1 Quote
