First, former Buffalo Bills running back and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Orenthal James Simpson received a minimum of 9 years in the Nevada State Penitentiary.

Turner Gill Isn't Getting the Attention He Deserves
The Wiz of Odds —
Three years ago, Buffalo was the worst program in Division I-A, a team that had won 12 games in seven seasons, stuck in the hinterlands of the Mid-American Conference.
On Friday night, Turner Gill did the impossible. The Bulls upset No. 12 Ball State, 42-24, and won the MAC championship to complete a stunning turnaround engineered by Gill. Gill should be on the radar for every opening in the country, but he's not. It's a disgrace that college football on the I-A level has only three African American head coaches (Gill, Kevin Sumlin at Houston and Randy Shannon at Miami), one Latino ...
Turner Gill Gets Emotional After MAC Win
Larry Brown Sports —
I don’t know much about Buffalo’s football history. I don’t know when the program was established, who their alumni are, to what conference they belong or have belonged, or if/when they’ve ever had success. All I’ve ever known about Buffalo is that they sucked. Buffalo for the last 10 years or so was perennially the worst team in college football. They probably caught my attention in ‘99 when they went 0-11. Over the next several years, they went 10-58, never having more than a three-win season. Finally in ‘06 they decided to make a coaching change and go with Turner Gill ...

Signal to Noise —
Based on his MAC championship turnaround of a Buffalo Bulls football team that had been the worst in Division I-A when he took over in 2005, one would think Turner Gill would have already been money-whipped by a bigger football factory school by now. But no, Syracuse passed him over ...

A lot of love goes out to Turner Gill and the Buffalo Bulls. Congratulations on the MAC Championship and ruining Ball State cinderella season.
This is satisfying for three separate and unequal reasons:

Check the temperature in hell, boys. The University at Buffalo won the MAC! The Bulls knocked off Ball State in the MAC Championship, 42-24, to take the title. They will return to Detroit for the Motor City Bowl; the school’s very first in a long and laughable 110 years of football. The team ...
