Buffalo's game Wednesday night at Kent State's M.A.C. Center can be described in a few ways.First and foremost, it was "loud.""That may have been about the loudest we've ever heard a crowd," said Bulls' head coach Reggie Witherspoon.
MAC StandingsDespite a Mid-American Conference record of 9-11 after Wednesday night's loss in Kent State, the UB men's basketball team is still in third place in the MAC East and in the runnings for a home playoff game.The Bulls trail the 11-1 Flashes and 8-4 RedHawks in the East, but still play both of those teams twice.
Although it seems improbable, there are a number of reasons why the UB wrestlers are now 11-4 (1-2 Mid-American Conference) on the 2003-04 season.Their high-intensity workouts, a tightly knit team and athletes unafraid to step up to win at meets are all part of the formula that has produced Buffalo's recent success.This formula was at work again Tuesday night and it produced a staggering victory at Slippery Rock, Pa.
Candy, carnations and condoms enticed the crowds of students when UB clubs gathered in the main spine to promote their clubs during the fourth annual "Love Your SA Day.From Knox to the Natural Sciences complex, a menagerie of festive tables lined the hallway Thursday between 11 a.m.

All the motivation in the world could not have helped the Buffalo Bulls on Wednesday night against a Kent State team that had beaten them 11 consecutive times.

Starting Wednesday, a checkstop appeared on the records of about 5,000 students because they failed to complete UB's Menigitis Information Form, according to Student Health Services.Until these students fill out the form - which can be found on the MyUB Web site - they will be prevented from registering for summer and fall classes.Finding out that nearly one-fifth of students have yet to complete the one-question form comes as no surprise to Frank Carnevale, the director of Student Health Services."It's human nature for a certain percentage of the population to procrastinate," he said.
The article "Despite Falls, Few Students Request Guardrails" in the Feb. 11, 2004 issue used the incorrect acronym RHA for University Residence Halls and Apartments.

Tonawanda Creek is covered in ice right now but in a little over a month the UB crew teams will be taking to the water to begin their spring practices for the upcoming season.With their practice facility more suited to ice fishing than rowing, the UB women's varsity team and the men's club team have not been taking a break from their sport.Just a few hours after UB's party crowd has returned to their beds, the men and women's teams are taking part in their rigorous off-season workouts.
Prepare to join the ranks of those who hold me in their disdain.I'm so tired of hearing about how The Beatles are "far and away" the greatest band of all time.

Paul Hebert stared into the eyes of Meredith Viera, awaiting a response as 600 faces and intense spotlights focused in on them."Is that your final answer?" Vieira said.Viera, host of the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" rambled off a series of questions while Paul Hebert, a sophomore English major at UB, sat in the hot seat."It's all so surreal when you're there," he said.Network rules prevented Hebert from telling The Spectrum how much he won on the program, which is scheduled to air at 7 p.m.
When you think of the Buffalo guards, Turner Battle generally comes to mind first.And while Battle may in fact be the best player on the team as its leader, his backcourt comrade Jason Bird may have the best touch when stroking a jumper.For those unfamiliar with the 6-foot 4-inch junior, he's the sweet-shooting two-guard on the Buffalo Bulls basketball team that can be found on the wings with Battle.Hailing from Ypsilanti, Mich., Bird chose UB over schools like Eastern Michigan, Bowling Green, and Marquette."The main reason was the atmosphere, the coaching staff, and the players that were coming in with me," said Bird after a long practice.
The cover of Nellie McKay's "Get Away From Me" shows the 19-year-old artist with her arms raised in joy, wearing an enormous, borderline manic smile.McKay's blissful pose is in sharp contrast not only with the album's title, but also with the parental advisory sticker in the lower left hand corner.
Okay, let's be serious for a moment here. If you're a perpetrator of this crime, immediately surrender yourself to the authorities.What I want to know is, who, in the name of all that is holy, is stuffing the NBA's All-Star ballot box?
