After week two of the NFL season, there are two things I took away from the weekend: First, the 49ers are really good, and second, I'm never picking the line on a Bills game the rest of the season. In week one, the Bills got torched for 48 points against an offense that failed to score a touchdown all preseason.
Relationships end for a reason - people drift apart and the romance fizzles out. Each party goes its separate ways with hurt feelings and no real desire to ever see the other again. In many cases, though, a problem seems to arise: your ex is a part of your group of friends. So you have to be civil with each other.
In "An Assault on Humanity" (The Spectrum, Feb. 12, 2012), the editorial board called for the U.S. to apply its "great model" from Libya in Syria. A full-scale invasion is too much, however.

You could feel the air shift. UB Stadium paused for a moment. All went silent. It was as if Buffalo's biggest offensive lineman had wound up and clobbered everyone in attendance, all 14,373, square in the stomach. Oomf. The moment?
According to Paul Auster's novel The Locked Room: "We exist for ourselves, perhaps, and at times we even have a glimmer of who we are, but in the end we can never be sure, and as our lives go on, we become more and more opaque to ourselves, more and more aware of our own incoherence." Democracy, freedom, cultural diffusion and thousands of quasi-American ideals saturate and dissolve into no solution that is indicative of its ingredients.
Just a home win over an FCS school, a team you're supposed to beat handily. We're talking about the second week of the season, anyway.
It seems some Bulls football fans went home at the end of this weekend's game bluer than they came in - that is, if they even made it to the end.
I consider myself a true and proud Buffalonian. I eat wings any chance I can get, lake effect snow doesn't scare me, and I still have a glimmer of hope every fall that this will be the season the Bills make it to the Super Bowl. Yet I'm a little embarrassed by how out of touch the City of Good Neighbors has seemed within the last few weeks.
In case you were curious as to how much it costs to put on the national conventions of the last two weeks, here's a number that'll leave a sour taste in your mouth: $136 million.
Meet Erin Amico, a sophomore psychology major who walks the UB campus rocking a fun and edgy style.
They say behind every successful man stands a strong woman, and this sentiment has been especially apparent during the Democratic and Republican conventions. Ann Romney and Michelle Obama gave heartfelt and powerful speeches during each party's convention - arguably the two best of the series. It's a weird concept: we, as Americans (whether Democrat or Republican), trust candidates' spouses to validate our votes.
This past weekend, while the Bulls were taking to the field against No. 6 Georgia, True Blue welcomed students to Room 210 of the Student Union for a screening of the game.
Georgia's chorus of 92,000 boobirds should tell you something: UB's football team won on Saturday despite its 0-1 record and lack of a turbo button. After Buffalo fell 45-23 to No.
I am a woman. I have a heart, a brain, thoughts, ideas, a personality and quirks - just like any other person on this earth. I have hips, boobs, curves and a vagina.
Jeff Quinn's barely-blue eyes rush to royal this time of year. His nostrils pulse and drill-sergeant voice deepens.
I have a list of very serious questions and comments for the avid Instagrammer:
If you've ever been at a UB Orientation Session or a Student Association-backed event, chances are you heard the term "diversity" tossed around at least a dozen times. You're going to hear it dozens more if you're planning on staying enrolled at UB.
The transformation of Penn State and its football team is nearly complete. In less than a year, one of the mightiest college football programs in the country has fallen from an untouchable position of an elite program to an example of what can happen when a program and university are plagued by gross mismanagement of priorities. And yet the final change that marked the end of the Joe Paterno era was not a result of what the NCAA did, what the Freeh report revealed, or even Jerry Sandusky's actions. Although each of those things have had an effect on the university and the way it decides to move forward, the university's priority is to put Joe Paterno securely in the past - something that fans, players, and coaches will have to do. The NCAA struck Penn State with haste and severity, but nothing it can do will force the school to move on.
The longer I've been in this business of "knowing a lot about a lot," I've learned to never believe the first thing I hear. Rumors are just that: rumors. They hold a minute amount of truth with an ample amount of fabrications.
