"Jarhead" is a war movie without an enemy. Marines are playing football, masturbating, betting on scorpion fights and occasionally shooting at rocks to prepare for the combat they will seemingly never see.The war film doesn't match the epic battle scenes in "Saving Private Ryan" or "Platoon," but it doesn't have to.What it lacks in a visual depiction of war is replaced with an adequate storyline and subtle political critiques.

In what is supposed to be the biggest city election in years, candidates have been touting education plans, revitalization plans, repopulation plans and economic plans.In all of their plans, however, one significant portion of the Buffalo population has been conspicuously low on the radar: Buffalo's college communities.Specifics for improving the college communities-both aesthetically and ideologically-around city-located schools like Buffalo State, Canisius College and UB are nearly non-existent.
Emerging from a season of growing pains, the UB wrestling team is set for a new year with a more experienced lineup featuring the welcomed return of the only athlete in UB's Division I-A history to have earned full All-American honors.All-American senior Kyle Cerminara will be back in the ranks at the 197-pound weight class and will act as one of the teams' four captains, giving the Bulls vital experience that they lacked last season."It hasn't changed yet," head coach Jim Beicher said about his team's maturation.
Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nada. None. The big goose egg.That's how many wins the UB football team has so far this season with just three opportunities left, the first of which comes Saturday against Mid-American Conference foe Miami (Ohio).UB (0-8 overall, 0-5 MAC) is coming off a 20-34 loss to Ohio that slipped away from the Bulls' grasp thanks in part to a plethora of penalties, one of which will carry over to Saturday's game.Zack Love, a senior offensive lineman who was involved in a scuffle near the end of the Ohio game, will end his team-leading streak of 43 consecutive games started after being ejected during the fourth quarter.
