Grind and Glory

I’m new here but just got caught up on this and it’s excellent so far! Lots of positives from season one despite losing the conference championship and bowl game. Can’t wait to see how Buffalo bounces back next season.

Thanks for the kind comment!

I'm hoping we can build upon this year and capture the conference championship next season.

Tough loss for the Buffs

CJ stacking them awards tho...

Mans didn't make 1st AA??

[Google[Bot]]

that defense was legit!

[Baze]

Bulls are cooking but we need to close out the season with bowl wins

[Scars]

Bazile not even getting All MAC with all those accolades is crazy

[The JZA]

I feel for Bazile, but can we talk about Dolac just getting All-MAC 2nd Team?

Yeah there is some sort of glitch. Soapy had similar problems.

that defense was legit!

Yeah I think super sim threw some of that off and they just had an excess of snaps. Next year should normalize.

Looking to do better next season.

Bazile not even getting All MAC with all those accolades is crazy

Yeah it was disappointing. Hopefully it gets patched.

I feel for Bazile, but can we talk about Dolac just getting All-MAC 2nd Team?

I guess not. Dolac was a beast too. He will be gone and it's a shame he got left out.
