The celebration fireworks exploded, the UTEP crowd of 35,213 erupted into a cheer that could be heard in Mexico and the Buffalo sideline was dejected. With 14 seconds left in the game, the Miners had just scored a touchdown and were an extra point away from taking a 24-23 lead, seemingly starting the Bulls' season on a heart-breaking note.
I saw at least three officers grab the kid that swam across Lake Lasalle. He surrendered willingly; one of those officers could have walked around and told smokers to put out their cigs.
While the professional tennis world focused on Queens, N.Y. this past weekend, the Queen City's tennis realm was locked in on Olean, N.Y.
The end of summer means many things. It means that it is time to return to school, that summer love affairs have come to an end, that the leaves will be changing soon, and that a plethora of new shows will appear on primetime TV. Most of them won't make it to a second season, some won't even make it all the way through the first, but there are a lucky few that will find their audiences and succeed. Check out these fall premieres and see if they flop or float. Mondays Accidentally On Purpose Premiering September 21 at 8:30 p.m., and starring sitcom vet Jenna Elfman (best known for her role as Dharma on Dharma and Greg), Accidentally on Purpose looks like CBS took Knocked Up and transformed it for the small screen. A thirty-something movie critic has a one-night stand with a much younger guy and gets pregnant. The storyline has potential to grow, but it is unlikely that this one will stick around. Tuesdays NCIS: Los Angeles Starring Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J, this is another CBS spin-off, which seems to be their specialty these days. Viewers can catch this at 9 p.m. starting September 22. As much as The Spectrum loves Cool James and George Clooney's Robin, this show looks bad. But if all of the CSIs have managed to stick around, this show will most likely be able to follow their cue and get viewers from the original NCIS. Wednesday Cougar Town The name may put people off a little bit, but the sexual exploits of 40-year-old women combined with halfway decent acting has seemed to be a recipe for success, at least for two seasons. (Yeah, that's you, Lipstick Jungle.) Courtney Cox will first appear as the leading character of this ABC series starting September 23 at 9:30 p.m. Thursday Community The Soup's Joel McHale, The Daily Show's John Oliver, and Chevy Chase all come together for this NBC comedy, so it's either going to be hilarious or horrid. The story line sounds funny enough: an attorney lies about graduating from college and must return as an adult learner. But honestly, where else can it go? In its defense, who would have ever believed that a story about a paper company in Scranton, Pa. could ever become so popular? See it for yourself at 9:30 p.m. on September 17. Friday Brothers This is Michael Strahan in a sitcom. Start taking bets on when it gets cut. The first episode is September 25 at 8 p.m. Will it even survive a whole episode? Saturday The Wanda Sykes Show Premiering November 7 at 11 p.m. on Fox, the show will feature Sykes's comedic stylings and will be cut once producers realize that this show was attempted and failed before. Sunday Bored to Death HBO is introducing a new comedy that tells the story of Jason Schwartzman living as a struggling writer by day and a private investigator by night, even though he does not know the first thing about being a detective. Ted Danson, along with The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis, join Schwartzman to make this an all-star cast. Tune in for the series premier September 20 at 9:30 p.m. The Cleveland Show Peter Griffin's neighbor and good friend Cleveland Brown is leaving Quahog and heading south come 8:30 p.m. on September 27. Cleveland has a new wife, step kids, and a new time slot, but it seems like creator/writer Seth Macfarlane is still going to deliver the goods. Wild Card Steven Seagal: Lawman The only reality series to make this list follows fallen karate movie star Steven Seagal through his current career as a police officer in Louisiana. Cops meets Under Siege: television gold. This mumbling masterpiece hits airwaves in December.
It may not even be 2010 yet, but the UB 2020 project isn't waiting until the last minute to start making changes.
As Monday rolls around and students begin their week of studying, waking up for class and staying in, many count down the days and hours until that blessed Friday comes when all stresses can be thrown to the side and their two days of freedom and enjoyment can truly begin.

With thousands of students commuting to campus every week, the UB community greatly contributes to traffic confusion and traces its carbon footprint throughout the Western New York region.
After finishing last season with a .240 winning percentage, it was evident that the volleyball team needed to make a change. Buffalo decided not to renew Jim Lodes' contract in December and set out in search of a new head coach who would attempt to lead the struggling program in the right direction.
It's hard to believe that UB is only a half hour away from a gorgeous, breath taking and romantic natural wonder of the world. Just a border crossing away, Niagara Falls, Ont. is home to tourist hotspots, Maid of the Mist boat tours and a nightlife rivaling some of the biggest cities.
Soccer presents a unique problem. There are very few opportunities to score, making each and every moment crucial to the outcome of a game. One miniscule mistake can change the course of a game and turn a definite win into a loss.
The signs of distress are already appearing in the hallways of America as the warmth and comfort of summer fade into the darkened cold conditions of school and work during the winter.
