 | Passing of a friend President William Greiner has passed away this week. He was a true friend to UB and has been UB's biggest supporter in moving into Division I. He faced much opposition and resistance, but without him and his vision, UB would not be where it is today. He will sorely be missed. I hope his legacy of UB as a Division I program lives on. I met him once as a college student and numerous times as an alumni at Athletic events. He was always gracious and kind each time I met him. He was always eager to talk UB sports. I am glad he got to see UB in a Bowl Game before his passing. He was so excited about the team. It's too bad the basketball team did not make it to a tourney in his lifetime... This picture was from Cleveland in 2005 during halftime of our game against Ohio. Thank you Mr Greiner. Let's also remember Carol and the family during this rough time. Kyu | | President Greiner | |

A Selfless Thank You
By: Joe Jenkins
[Note: I am foregoing the defensive portion of “The Movie Bulls” in order to address some clearly more pressing issues.]
I am, by nearly every conceivable measure, a completely irrational sports fan. So much so that I have made the conscious decision to forget objectivity in my writing, and damn myself as a credible journalist [...]

The Movie Bulls (Offense)
By Joe Jenkins:
I was driving home from my thankless job today when the smell of fresh cut grass filled my car. The only thought that filled my head was: “Man, it sure smells like football.” You know…before the pads start to smell like road kill and chicken soup. Then, unfortunately, that sure smells like football.
Either [...]

Treading in the Changing Waters
By: Joe Jenkins
Great thing about these blogs: You can leave them alone for an inordinate period of time, and you never have to dust it off or make sure it’s still working. It just keeps going and all you can hope for is that people are still reading and that what you’ve produced has aged [...]

2010 Recruits are still coming in.
I don't quite know where these scholarships are coming from, if indeed they are on scholarship, but its nice to see that while Quinn is offering local talent, keeping the pipeline open in the South East, and starting to get more talent out of Michigan.
BUFFALO, NY - University at Buffalo head football coach Jeff Quinn has announced the signings of yet another Michigan native to his 2010 recruiting class.
Dalton Barksdale, a 6-3, 240-pound defensive end from Detroit (Cass Tech HS) -- UB Athletics
His interest was mainly in Schools from the MAC, and he did garner an offer from Bowling Green. Last spring when he was checking out CMU rivals headlined the visit with this tidbit Players who can rush off the edge are key to any college football defense, especially in the MAC, where the spread is king. One player who fits that bill is Dalton... -
MAC Championship, Round two
Brandon is a far more sophisticated basket ball fan then I, but he is kicking it in Florida and I don't know if he will manage to look into the championship tournament so I will do my best.
With the warm up round over Buffalo now heads to Cleveland for a date with the RedHawks. During the season these two teams split with Buffalo surviving a Miami Comeback to open up conference play and Miami destroying Buffalo in the final game of the season. The winner of this bumper match will likely face Kent in the quarter finals (yes Ohio might manage an upset but Kent is the tournament favorite right now).
The story of the first meeting was Buffalo getting out to an early lead and surviving a Miami run early in the second:
The energy caused early Miami turnovers, forced... -
MAC East Schedules, How do they look?
With Spring ball fast approaching I thought I would take a look at the MAC Football schedules and see which team(s) have the hardest route to a bowl game, or a division title. Well here is what lies ahead for each of the teams in the MAC East
Here is a break down of some schedule markers using CFN's pre season rankings:
| Akr | BG | Buff | Kent | Mia | Ohio | TEM |
|---|
| Conf SOS | 102 | 95 | 103 | 101 | 97 | 102 | 98 | | Non Conf SOS | 62 | 67 | 62 | 54 | 38 | 62 | 52 | | Total SOS | 89 | 86 | 92 | 88 | 78 | 91 | 85 | | Top 50 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 2 | | Top 25 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Top 10 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | Bowl Teams | 4 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 4 | 6 | | Bowl Winners | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | | Winning Teams | 4 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 4 | 6 | | FCS Teams | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Hardest Conference Schedule: Bowling Green, Honorable Mention to Temple and Miami. The Cupcakes this year go to Buffalo (first time in awhile they get an easy conference draw).
Hardest Non Conference Schedule: With three top 50 teams and a top ten team Miami takes it by a country mile. What else is new the RedHawks always set the bar high. The non conference Cupcakes go to...
