UB Mixology 101: The Jamey Richard

The original drink of UB football captures the essences of one of UB's most successful Offensive linemen of all time.  It is a tailgate classic as you only need your can of monster, and if your lucky you can travel from tailgate to tailgate in search for someone who will top you off with a little Jameson.  Plus the inconspicuous can hides the sweet forbidden alcohol nectar inside for when your tailgating at a crappy boring religious college, (Baylor I'm looking at you).

My 2010 Buffalo Pregame Mixtape: The C-15

The Pregame Mixtape is a  necessary function of gameday. You need equal parts spirit, joy, spunk, and chants to get you ready for the game.  You cannot reuse mixtapes, as each mixtape should remind you of a season.  Some songs are universal however and can be reused.

Examples:

2006 - Will always be Jet's "Are You Going to Be My Girl" - Everyone new the words, hard rock chords, and perfect ending to a tailgate inside a car in a church parking lot at Boston College.

2009 - Jay Sean "Down" - Just poppy enough and played 4 million times during the trip from NYC to Buffalo via Philadelphia.

so my 15 tracks have been carefully crafted for awesomeness.

Song 1: Lose My Mind by Young Jeezy

Qualifications: Southern, Recent, Weekend and Drinking Reference.

 "Couldn't get it all week time to unwind, drink like a tank, lose my mind."

Game Preview #12: The Akron Game Top Ten

The Game Preview Top Ten.

5 Real Reasons and 5 Joke, but also real, Reasons Buffalo will win.

10) MAC Pressure:

• In November Akron will play a tough schedule, at Temple, at Ball state before hosting Miami (OH) and then hosting Buffalo in the final game.  Temple is a top contender for the MAC East, Miami looks to be improved, with 3 division games, November will make or break Akron's Conference chances.
  
• Buffalo on the other hand travels to Ohio, then gets two easy weeks hosting bottom teams of the MAC West (Ball state and E. Michigan) and will be adequately prepared for the Akron game.

9) Empire State of Mind
