Turner Gill has turned UB into a real Division 1 football program. I hope the team continues to grow. Contrary to popular belief everyone in NY state is not into Syracuse so to have an alternative to root for is great.
Here's a cool video about the 1958 UB Football team who was the only in school history invited to a bowl game. They turned down the invite because in Florida blacks and whites couldn't play together. Buffalo had 2 black athletes and refused to play without them.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the only UB football team to be invited to a bowl game. But the Bulls didn't play, for a reason that defines unity and brotherhood. UB made the Tangerine Bowl that season, finishing with an 8-1 record and winning the Lambert Cup for being the best small college in the East.
Next week's game against Temple won't be a pushover for either Team, Temple really wanted that game today and would have loved to have a 2-0 matchup next week as Buf is going to smash a bad Pitt team, imo. Anyone know the score?
