To make a long story short, I had no interest in UB Football at the beginning of this year. Still smarting from the loss of four sports, I was practically begging for something from Amherst to get me excited and engaged again.
By the end of the season, I have to ask myself: Are we on the verge of a 2008-like year, when a 2007 full of close games, developing leadership, and a near-miss on a bowl blossomed into more wins than losses for the first time in over a decade?
I’ve gone down this road with Basketball before, so let’s be clear: it’s very difficult to win a championship and unfair to expect or plan for one on the horizon.
