Buffalo Dominates Canisius in Conference Tourney Tune-up

It is not often that the men's tennis team gets to enjoy many matches at this time of year. Competing in a conference such as the Mid-American Conference has often left the Bulls sullen in defeat, following a decisive and lopsided loss.

That Orange Seat Mystique

Being a Mets fan for some time, you learn to accept both the good and the bad. A World Series appearance every 15 years or so mixes in well with failed "can't miss" prospects that typically result in an offseason rebuilding process that will inevitably lead to disgruntled fans and an exorbitant payroll that includes an over the hill and oft injured roster.This is a list of "The 15 reasons why I'm a Mets fan."If a Yankee fanatic made a similar list it would be filled with World Series victories, perfect games and hall of famers.

Movie Review: 'Anger Management' (****)

Movies like "Happy Gilmore," "Billy Madison," and even the critically acclaimed "Punch Drunk Love" all tell the same story.

Letter To the Editor

Your response to Sami Hanna was less than spectacular. In fact, it was downright lame. I could have respected an answer that just came out and said, "We print the letters we want." Perhaps this is a chance for you to be creative and (at the risk of using a buzz-word) think outside the box.

Faces of UB: Ron 'the Sandwich Guy' Smith

I'm Turning Pro

It is a troubling world we live in - the specter of perpetual war and nuclear escalation has returned, fascist undertones have swept our government and the economy is facing red ink as far as the eye can see.

Election Results

Bulls Split Doubleheader With Canisius

When a team is limited to only eight total hits over the span of a doubleheader, they will in most cases be swept.But miracles do happen.The UB Bulls baseball team somehow managed to topple the Canisius Golden Griffins in the first game of a doubleheader on Thursday, despite the fact that their offense pulled off some sort of Houdini-like disappearing act.They are going to have to use a heck of a lot more magic if they expect to beat the Marshall Thundering Herd in a four-game series at UB this weekend with their anemic offense.The series was originally set for one game Friday, a doubleheader Saturday and a game Sunday.
