99 for 99 takes a look at the 99 biggest moments in UB Football history during this season, the 99th season of UB Football. These moments are not in any order, however the top 10 moments have been saved for last.

October 19, 1935 - Buffalo 7 - Alfred 0 - UB's 200th game
Nursing a five game losing streak, UB played their 200^th game against Alfred. Buffalo, which gave up 61 points the previous week to Western Reserve while failing to score, was able to right the ship on defense, while scoring just enough in a 7-0 victory.

The game was the proper way to end the 2^nd worst group of games in school history. The futility, experienced between 1921 and 1935 was the worst experienced until UB won only 17 out of 100 games after moved to D-1A between 1999 and 2007. The '21-'35 UB teams managed a 24-69-7 record under eight coaches with many lowlights. UB's best season occurred in 1929, under Jay "Biffy" Lee, UB went 5-2, they also went 3-5 in 1930 under Lee and 3-4-1 in 1925 under Russ Carrick.

The 101^st game in UB history was a 37-0 loss to Hobart. Buffalo continued to get outscored, 2,115 to 526 during the 100-game period. Finally, UB slipped under 500 winning percentage for the first time since the eighth game in school history. After 26 years over 500, Buffalo slipped 1 game below 500 on November 25, 1923 after falling 34-0 to Holy Cross.

Fortunately for Buffalo, the next two-hundred games of UB Football would be the best in school history.
