3 years and two days ago the University at Buffalo embarked on a new mission to raise their program from it’s lackluster on-field performance and bring in a new coach with a proven track record to provide the meager fan base something, anything that would make them competitive.
They found a coach, who when first contacted did not know that Buffalo had a division I-A program after the new Athletic Director with a Michigan pedigree couldn’t even get people in his inner circle to provide him with ANYONE that had ANY interest in signing on to become Buffalo’s new head man.
He, or the search committee placed a call to a Player Development Director with the Green Bay Packers to gauge his interest in the position. He was going to out and out decline the invitation to interview, but then after discussing it with his wife he changed his mind and felt that at the very least this interview would at least prepare him for future job openings.
“The Picture Doesn’t Exactly Explain My Predicted Outcome”
It is no secret that I am unabashed UB supporter and graduate. These claims I cannot deny, I will however attempt to present a fair and balanced view of tonight’s game for my dear readers. But, I cannot go much further without referencing some of the funniest UB ramblings on the Internet, which come from ubfan.com and specifically Hokie200Proof. Here’s my favorite passage:
“Lord Gill sits in his chariot, proudly surveying all that he had accomplished. After three months of fighting, sweat and blood, Gill has 7 heads tied to his reigns. The heads were once the prized possession of those who were foolish enough to raise armies against the will of Gill.”
While this is madness, it’s pretty damn funny. Let’s break the game down, yes I put the spread in there for fun:
Do you remember the Enterprise commercial circa 2006? With the guy “Moose” who is told he is “looking good” by a couple of two-bit skanks? Well that was nothing like my high school reunion. Yes, I did rent an Enterprise Car at a family discount since I made up that I am someone’s family member, but sadly I didn’t bring the Sentra to pick up ladies. The Man of Cheese (TMOC) had his mom drop us off and pick us up, well because that’s how we roll. I can’t find the damn commercial I am referring to, but here is one from a similar time frame.
My picks have been off lately and I am not sure why. I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the head trauma that I have gotten over so it must be this new job which forces me to work instead of waste my days writing blog posts and analyzing each individual piece of each individual game. In any event, I have spent my nights this week on the phone and analyzing statistical data which may, just may lead me to a .500 week in the third one of the young season. But first some political talk.
