Cliff Posted November 29, 2022 Report Posted November 29, 2022 Game will be on CBS Sports network. Not sure why its scheduled for 1:00. 2 Quote

Thank you. 1:00 is the original scheduled time. However, the game is not yet showing up on my Spectrum menu of channels for Friday. I will try to check again on Wednesday. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Posted November 29, 2022 Side note ahead of this game. Shocky Jacques-Louis and Alex Adams each have exactly 837 yds receiving according to ESPN. Daniel George has 693 yds. Adams and George will be back next year. When is the last time we had a receiving corps like this? (My first guess would be the last time JoeMo was here - Hixon & Jabari Arthur in 2005) Here's to hoping one or both of SJL & Adams have a huge day(s). Quote
bigjim Posted November 29, 2022 Report Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) I was looking up the season long stats of top 100 players at positions of Akron and Buffalo on ESPN.com of the players who are expected to play Friday (did not include Irons and surprised Victor Jones was not on the sack list). One caveat is that Akron and Buffalo have played 11 games while everyone else has played 12. Numbers should increase. I went through a lot of numbers so I may have missed some stats. -Cole Snyder, Buffalo QB is 58th in passing at 2501 yards -Former Buffalo QB from Stow Kyle Vantrease is 3rd in the nation in passing yards at 3,897 for Georgia Southern. -Bubba is 9th in tackles at 118 -Shaun Dolac from Buffalo is 5th in tackles at 123 -James Patterson from Buffalo is 50th in tackles at 98 -Jacq Louis is tied with Alex Adams at 50th in receiving at 837 yards On this limited data, it tells me that Buffalo has a better defense, but Akron has a slightly better offense. I do not see it justifying the Buff -11.5 spread. Go Zips!!!! LGZ94 partially beat me to the post as I was typing. Edited November 29, 2022 by bigjim 1 Quote

With it being rescheduled, they probably have other live events that are already airing later in the day. That's my guess as to why it's at 1 pm on a Friday. Plus the conference championship game and not wanting to conflict with that. Quote

My guess (and it is speculation) is that the MAC wants to get the game over with ASAP in the event that Buffalo wins and becomes bowl eligible. Bowl games participants have started to be named, and the MAC wants to ensure that Buffalo is not left behind if they become bowl eligible. I believe that the MAC has affiliations with 6 bowls, and as of now, there are only 5 bowl eligible teams in the MAC. A Buffalo win will get the number to 6. catdaddyp please comment if I am off base. 3 Quote

Maybe to you and me, but if you were an AD/Commissioner looking to move to a bigger school/conference and were willing to destroy your current employer to do so, the MAC is the perfect place for you. 1 Quote
MangoZip Posted November 30, 2022 Report Posted November 30, 2022 I swear yesterday yesterday I saw somewhere on social media the game was listed for Saturday, now I can't find it. Maybe it was a misprint and they took it down? Any also see that? Quote
brjacr75 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Posted November 30, 2022 Hello from Buffalo.....I guess its game on. Really hoping Akron comes in and gives UB their best shot. Make UB earn their bowl invite, because for the last three weeks, they havent been. And Im hoping the MAC doesnt go and do MAC things with their officiating. Anybody on here making the trip up???? 1 Quote

IMHO, play it in the "warm" "sunlight" but not on Saturday with all the conference champ. games going on. Zips get back home at a decent hour. It's not going to draw a large crowd or TV audience regardless. Quote
