A 'business trip' to Kalamazoo

By OWEN O'BRIEN | Oct. 10, 2013

After a weekend of many firsts - in which the football team improved to 3-2 for the first time in the modern Division IA era, defeating Eastern Michigan for the first time in school history - the Bulls will look for another first this weekend: a victory on the road against a Mid-American Conference West opponent. The Bulls (3-2, 1-0 Mid-American Conference) will leave UB Stadium for the first time since Week Two when they travel to Western Michigan (0-6, 0-2 MAC) Saturday.

Making history

By BEN TARHAN | Oct. 5, 2013

On the football team's first offensive drive of its game against Eastern Michigan on Saturday, senior running back Branden Oliver took a handoff on third and four from the Bulls' 40-yard line. He bounced outside and took off down the right sideline for a 60-yard touchdown - the first score of the game. He essentially ran away with the game. "That cut that he made was unbelievable," said sophomore quarterback Joe Licata.

He would wake up on Saturday mornings and, with nothing else to do, he would explore the 16-acre property upon which he grew up. "I used to be really into exploring and stuff when I was a kid," Bachtelle said.

Freshman soccer phenom leads Bulls into future

When Russell Cicerone was a little kid, he played a game with his older sister Anina. To see who had the hardest shot, his dad, David, would play goalie in the net in their backyard and both Cicerone and Anina would kick the ball as hard as they could at their father.
