It's not an uncommon reaction. Most fans of touring bands understand the feeling."(Insert favorite band name here) is coming to town?
The last time the Bulls matched up with the Ohio Bobcats, UB was in dire straights.Buffalo had lost their previous four games heading into the Jan.
While the university continues to talk about the excitement surrounding the men's basketball team, a different kind of lane will be contested this week in Ypsilanti, Mich, as Eastern Michigan, Miami of Ohio, Ohio University, Ball State and UB will all vie for Mid-American Conference supremacy in swimming and diving.From Thursday to Saturday the UB men's swimming and diving team (3-4, 1-3 MAC) will take to the water in hopes of personal bests, NCAA qualifications, and a team victory at this year's conference championships.Coming off a strong performance at last weekend's Eastern College Athletic Conference championships, where they placed sixth out of a field of 29, the Bulls look to the MAC Championships with high hopes and renewed confidence."I can't stress enough how important he ECAC's are in preparation for the Mid-American Championships," stated head coach Bud Termin in an e-mail.
Now that the basketball season has just gotten hot, and students are joyously rushing the court in record numbers, it's clear that the popularity of UB varsity sports is rising.Some say a sign of well-rounded collegiate teams is regular appearance on television, but when it comes to airtime, UB gets a pretty short end, according to Assistant Athletic Director Paul Vecchio.Vecchio shared several factors that contribute to the scarcity of UB sports on television, including budget shortages, the varsity teams' Mid-American Conference standings, and recent problems with the Empire Sports Network."Certainly there are monetary constraints, but it's really a combination of things.
This review is part two of a three-part series examining the most recent releases from the three artists performing at this year's Springfest.

"Bigger: Ten Songs About Georgette" is the sophomore solo effort from former Stickman Jones guitarist/vocalist Annie Quick.
Senior night is always an emotional event, and combining that with scrappy, physical play generally leads to a close, intense game.The Buffalo Bulls (6-20, 4-12 Mid-American Conference) were pushed around in the paint, but they found a way to hang on long enough to keep the game in reach against the Ohio Bobcats (13-14, 7-9 MAC) on Tuesday night in Alumni Arena.Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to win in seniors Jessica Kochendorfer and Kim Kilpela's final home game as Buffalo Bulls.Ohio closed the game in the final minute with the use of an 11-0 run to escape Alumni Arena with a 62-56 win in a night that was emotional for everyone, not just the seniors."It's going to be emotional and there is going to be a lot of adrenaline flowing," said head coach Cheryl Dozier.
The UB softball team has been stuck practicing inside Alumni Arena due to all the Buffalo snow, obviously limiting the team's ability to get a real practice in.But, Buffalo finally got a chance to lace up their spikes over the weekend when they traveled to Tennessee for the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga Frost Classic.
