Last Wednesday night was one of the most important nights of the year for our country. At 9 p.m., for the first time this election season, the two presidential candidates finally squared off in person for the entire world to see.
I saw the future on Saturday. I saw conference championship rings and bowl wins. I saw national respect, big-name recruits coming to town and UB's annual pro day drawing NFL scouts in masses. I saw two freshmen who looked ready for their chance in the Bulls' 38-31 loss to Ohio. Yes, freshmen.

I'm not voting. Ever since I was in elementary school I have been told to vote. I have been educated about the elections, taught the values of each political party and gotten the Democratic process drilled into me by voting for class officers. I registered when I turned 18.
Sometimes fantasy players are like your new workout program or a new girlfriend. You tried it out for a little bit, but who are you kidding?
Last week, I came extremely close to picking the 49ers over the Jets as my lock. I believe the spread was -4 to San Francisco.
After months of campaigning and preparation, the gloves go on tonight for the first presidential debate.
"Oh, come on. Even I could coach that them to the postseason." These words have flowed out of my mouth countless times when talking about teams such as the Lakers, Yankees or the old-school Bulls, but never about the masterminds behind the Patriots, or who people can now refer to: the New Orleans Saints. Coaching professional athletes, regardless of their talent level, is one giant headache.
UB is faking it. On the outside, UB has it all together: NYSUNY 2020 passed in June 2011 and was signed into law.
Coaching legend Bill Parcells once said after a frustrating loss: "You are what your record says you are."
Our almost limitless language has few inadequacies. Words can change lives and alter the course of history.
So maybe this is your first time. Maybe you've never done it before. You've always wanted to try it but had no one to do it with. You've tried doing it yourself, but then finally a couple of your friends invited you to do it with them. They've been doing it for years, and you're afraid you won't be able to keep up with them, because they just have so much more experience.
As the Bulls move to take on the Big East's University of Connecticut this weekend, I find my mind does not focus on the familiar thrill of game day or the dread of playing an elite school.
It's going to be legen - wait for it - dary. How I Met Your Mother returns for season eight tonight, and I couldn't be more excited. Some may say it's sad that I've based a lot of my life around this show - all some of my friends and I do is talk in quotes and obscure references from the show - but I argue HIMYM has taught me some of life's best lessons. Ted and his crew have taught me more about love (and the lack thereof) and what true friends mean than anything else.
Every student has experienced or has heard some kind of horror story about random roommate selection: thefts, lack of personal space and frequent "sexiles." The college housing experience can be miserable if you haven't found somebody of the same sex you want to share your living space with. UB provided a solution this fall: gender-neutral housing. Starting this semester, two floors in the Ellicott Complex and several apartments in the Hadley and Creekside Villages, have been set aside for gender-neutral housing. Not only should the university have begun this sooner, they should further expand it and other schools should follow suit. The decision allows college students who are closer with friends of the opposite sex, or students who don't like the option of being thrown together with a random stranger, to live with someone they're actually comfortable with - despite that person's gender.
His father starred at Penn St. and with the Philadelphia Eagles and his brother currently plays at Penn St.
Money will always be a cause for complaint, and this time of the year, students have every right to do so. Last fall, UB's Office of Financial Aid implemented a new financial aid process where students saw their financial aid credited after the drop/add period concluded.
Kent State versus Buffalo, lights on, cameras surrounding the stadium, countless Twitter feeds hashtagging #SeaOfBlueOnESPNU.
This week brought disappointing news for hockey fans when Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the NHL Players' Association and the NHL had failed to reach a collective bargaining agreement, sending the league into a lockout. With that news came bitter feelings, and for longtime fans, it's
