Congratulations to the University of Buffalo Bulls, who are now bowl eligible for the first time since 1958. Their 4 OT win over the ole Akron Zips put them over the 6 win mark. Whether or not they get a bid is yet to be determined, regardless if they win out or not, they are certainly worthy if you ask me. Coach Turner Gill has turned that program up-side down and unfortunately (for UB) will most likely move on in the very near future, as his name has been tossed around for a few of the coaching vacancies this season. According to Wiki, the Bulls were invited to the Tangerine Bowl in 1958, but refused the bid due to the fact their black players would not have been eligible to play. Right now, they are holding down first place in the MAC’s Eastern Division with two games remaining. Watch out for the new D-1 powerhouse folks!
