1. DC Jimmy Williams fired Linky

It sounds more like it was a personality thing than a results thing. I hope TG knows what he's doing. I think we're going to need the D to step up big time next year.

2. Drew Willy to play in the "Texas vs. the Nation" game. The Whuh? Wasn't dividing teams by "Blue" and "Grey" lame enough?

3. IB ratings up 33%. So UB spanked Ball State twice last year.
Very strange to fire a guy who shaped the takeaway margin. Turbulent offseason in the MAC as always.
I did NOT realize TG had such a deep staff. Williams was AA @ Nebraska and played 12 years in the NFL....Reed who they promoted has NFL coaching experience... Thats a DEEP bench especially for a non BCS staff.

Yay. You beat Ball State in the ratings. Woo hoo.

Gill's coaching staff is pretty incredible. In just 3 years, Gill has had 4 assistants/coordinators move on to jobs in the NFL, the most recent being our DT coach Vantz Singletary who just recently got a job as a linebackers coach for the 49ers.

And let's not forget Danny Barrett, Turner Gill's #2 man who mentored Drew Willy. Before coming to UB, Barrett was head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders for 6 years. The Toronto Argonauts were interested in interviewing Barrett for their head coaching position just recently, and Barrett declined interest. He's our assumed head coach in waiting when Gill makes the jump to the BCS.

It's not very often you have more than one guy on a staff with significant head coaching experience. Buffalo is very fortunate to have the staff it does.

I believe this game is run by CBS College Sports and will air on the network from the Sun Bowl in El Paso, TX.

Give credit where it's due. The MAC needs presence in large cities, and as much attention as it can get.

Kudos to Buffalo. He could have just mentioned ratings were up 33% but added a weak-ass slam to Ball State, hence my response.
