The Time is Now

To put it lightly, the month of October was not very friendly to the UB women's volleyball team (10-18, 4-10 Mid-American Conference).The Bulls went 4-7 and the team was left with a bad taste in their mouths heading into the season's final games and the ominous MAC tournament, which starts this Tuesday.Buffalo hopes to muster up some momentum heading into the tournament when it wrap up the season against Marshall Friday night, and Ohio the following evening.

"So Far, So Good for Bulls Hockey"

The football team has won one game all season and the men's basketball team is coming off a 5-23 season.The UB wrestling team however, could very well be the school's diamond in the rough and the antidote for the doldrums.The Bulls went 9-6 last season, while taking home the New York State team championship title and sending two wrestlers to the NCAA championships.

Student Leader Should Have Known Better

Don' t get me wrong, I feel bad for all the students who had their parties broken up by the police on Halloween weekend, but the attitude taken by some when they get punished after breaking the law and university policies is ridiculous.Jennifer Tuttle calls herself a student leader but throughout the entire article her she refuses to take responsibility for her actions, instead giving excuse after excuse about why she is being made an example.
