Sabres Leave Florida Winless After Loss to Tampa
For the second straight night the Sabres generated next to nothing offensively, fully deserving of leaving the ice in Tampa Bay on the losing end of a 3-1 score against the Lightning, giving the Sabres consecutive losses to Florida teams. Buffalo lost to Florida Friday night, 6-2. Continue reading ‘Sabres Leave Florida Winless After Loss to Tampa’ Filzen’s 21 Leads UB to Easy Win Over Houghton
Buffalo (7-3) shot nearly 61 percent from the field in the first half, but couldn’t shake a feisty Houghton squad until late in the stanza. The Bulls closed the half on a 19-4 scoring run to take a 43-22 halftime lead. Continue reading ‘Filzen’s 21 Leads UB to Easy Win Over Houghton’ Nicholson Drops 44 to Lead Bona to Win in 4th OT
A game that was knotted 17 times featured the most Bonaventure points scored since a program-record 134 were scored in a 25-point victory over Concordia Nov. 24, 1990 – nearly two decades ago. The 112 points is the 15th-highest total in Bonaventure’s 90-year program history. Continue reading ‘Nicholson Drops 44 to Lead Bona to Win in 4th OT’ Stampede Try to Improve to 3-0 Tonight vs. Hudson Valley
Game time is scheduled for 7:30pm. Buffalo defeated Hudson Valley in their season opener two weeks ago, 132-114 behind 27 points from Marcus Hall and 23 from Charles Walker. You can buy tickets at the door for just $5.00 for general admission and $10.00 for reserved seating. The way the Stampede are looking early in the season, it’s turning into quite the bargain. 50% Off World Junior Tix During “Tim Hortons Youth Hockey” DaysThe Buffalo World Junior Host Organizing Committee announced that four games of the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship will be designated as “Tim Hortons Youth Hockey Days,” where fans will be able to purchase tickets for 50% off the regular box office price courtesy of Tim Hortons.

Whitner appeared all-but-certain he’ll be testing free agency when this season concludes. “Things aren’t going the way I want them to go or getting it done,” Whitner said. ”It might come to me actually hitting the free agent market because we’re far off. We’re far off in dollars. We’re far off in everything. So, that’s what it’s going to be.” Sabres Return to Action Tonight in Florida
Stafford had missed 15 of the previous 16 games with a shoulder injury. “It was nice seeing him back in the lineup, working hard and getting open for some scoring chances,” Sabres center Derek Roy said of Stafford. “We definitely needed that goal-scoring boost.” Continue reading ‘Sabres Return to Action Tonight in Florida’ U.S. National Junior Pre-Tournament Camp To Start Today
Twenty-nine players were invited to the camp, which will take place Dec. 17-23 in Troy, Rochester, Jamestown and Amherst, N.Y., and will include exhibition games against Rensselaer’s men’s ice hockey team (Dec. 19), the Czech Republic (Dec. 21) and Norway (Dec. 23). Schedule and ticket information for these games can be found below. Continue reading ‘U.S. National Junior Pre-Tournament Camp To Start Today’ Buffalo Bills News & Quotes
“That’s our goal,” defensive end Chris Kelsay said. ”We’ve got three big games to finish out the season. We’re not going to play spoiler to the Patriots they’re going to playoffs, but we can the next couple of weeks, Miami and potentially the last game of the season against New York.” Five players didn’t participate at practice Wednesday; offensive linemen Geoff Hangartner, Demetrius Bell and Andy Levitre as well as Kelsay and Drayton Florence. Of course, Lee Evans is out for the season after being placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week with an ankle injury. UB’s Mack and Neutz Garner Postseason HonorsFollowing terrific freshman campaigns, wide receiver Alex Neutz and linebacker Khalil Mack earned spots on Phil Steele’s 2010 Postseason All-Freshman Teams. Mack was named to the third team for defense and Neutz got the nod on the fifth team for offense. Mack also was a Honorable Mention member on College Football News’ list.
On the other side of the ball, redshirt-freshman Neutz came in and helped his home-town team right away. The Grand Island, NY native had a penchant for making the big play, averaging almost 16 yards per catch while constantly wowing the competition with acrobatic catches. His 26 catches for 414 yards is the best for a first-year player since recent graduate Naaman Roosevelt’s freshman season in 2006. Neutz also had four touchdown receptions and was named the team’s Offensive MVP at the recent awards banquet. Continue reading ‘UB’s Mack and Neutz Garner Postseason Honors’ First Annual Christmas Bash at Mooney’s Saturday

Aaron Maybin: Caption ThisOne of our photographers, Michael Thomas, captured this Aaron Maybin image during Buffalo’s season opener against Miami. It should’ve been a sign of things to come. Seeing the Bills are playing the Dolphins again this Sunday, we thought it would be a good time to pull this from our vault. The problem is— we don’t even know what to say. Therefore, we’re putting the onus on you. You caption this..
Andre Reed Goes “Over The Middle”
One of those charities is called “The Second Mile”, a nonprofit organization that serves youths in Pennsylvania. According to their mission statement, the foundation is “committed to helping young people achieve their potential as individuals and as community members and providing education and support for their parents and youth service professionals.” Reed is also set to launch a brand new product; an all-purpose sauce that’s called “Over the Middle.” Stafford’s Hat Trick in Return Lifts Sabres over Bruins
“He’s a skilled player,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said of Stafford. ”We were hoping to get offense from him. It give us that extra dimension because he’s strong and he’s got a great shot. Coming out of camp I thought he was our best player.” Continue reading ‘Stafford’s Hat Trick in Return Lifts Sabres over Bruins’ Labatt Blue Pond Hockey Tournament: Feb. 11-13, 2011
According to Labatt Blue Associate Brand Manager Brett Carlsen, several factors play into the process of choosing tournament dates, including: Continue reading ‘Labatt Blue Pond Hockey Tournament: Feb. 11-13, 2011′ Harlem Globetrotters To Visit The Reilly Center

Sit back and relax…. enjoy your morning cup of coffee and investigate our somewhat widespread list as we exemplify how the Bills are doing both team-wise and individually…. solely by the numbers. UB Football Hands Out Yearly Awards
Shannon, a graduating senior safety who earned the defensive MVP award, will leave Buffalo as the all-time leading tackler and has his name etched into many other career records. The Jeannette, PA native registered 120 tackles and four interceptions en route to his fourth-straight All-MAC first team honor. Season Over For Lee Evans, Shawn Nelson
To take his place on the roster, Buffalo signed offensive tackle Erik Pears to the 53-man roster. Evans struggled in the Bills offense this year, catching just 37 passes for 508 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games. The numbers for catches and receiving yards both represented career-lows for the seven-year veteran from Wisconsin. Returnees Have Ruff Sporting Odd Line Combos
As a result, center Luke Adam has been returned to Portland. The line combinations Lindy Ruff trotted out at practice today could be best described as odd. Niedermayer, who’s yet to score a goal this season, was skating with the team’s two leading scorers Derek Roy and Thomas Vanek. Stafford worked on a line that included Jason Pominville and Jochen Hecht. Cody McCormick and Mike Grier were between Paul Gaustad and Connolly centered for Patrick Kaleta and Tyler Ennis. Continue reading ‘Returnees Have Ruff Sporting Odd Line Combos’ South Buffalo Celtics Add Influx Of Talent
Despite already having plenty of proven talent, team co-owner Ron Anderson says the Celtics “are still excited to see who will come and surprise us come training camp time and push their way up the depth chart.” Continue reading ‘South Buffalo Celtics Add Influx Of Talent’ Opportunity Arises For Naaman Roosevelt
Lee Evans limped off the field with an ankle injury late in the second quarter of the Bills 13-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium. While blocking downfield on a Jonathan Stupar 35-yard catch and run, Evans turned his ankle and went down. He didn’t return, won’t be available for at least two games and it’s highly likely he’ll be placed on Injured Reserve when it’s all said and done since there’s only three games remaining this season. While the last thing Roosevelt wanted is to get forced into the lineup because of injuries, it’s exactly where he’s at right now. With Evans on the shelf and Roscoe Parrish long-gone with a broken wrist, Roosevelt out of the blue becomes the team’s fourth receiver. College Hoops Corner: Will The Real Bonnies Please Stand Up
The Bonnies were 5-2, had an RPI of 29 and were even seeded No. 11 in CBS’s Bracketology by Jerry Palm later in the week. Surely, the Bonnies weren’t quite that good, but it was a strong start for a program that hasn’t had a record better than .500 since the 2001-02 season. Heck, they’ve only won 10 or more games twice since then, both coming under Schmidt in each of the last two seasons. So, with this past Saturday’s contest looming against Big 4 rival Niagara, a team the Bonnies hadn’t beat since 01-02, St. Bonaventure had a chance to keep things rolling at the friendly confines of the Reilly Center. Never mind it was against a Niagara team having its worst start in the 12-year career of Joe Mihalich. Continue reading ‘College Hoops Corner: Will The Real Bonnies Please Stand Up’ Stampede Improved To 2-0 With Win Over Weekend
The Stampede seem to be heading towards quite the turnaround from a year ago, when Vincent Lesh’s team went just 3-17. Continue reading ‘Stampede Improved To 2-0 With Win Over Weekend’ 2 Comments on Stampede Improved To 2-0 With Win Over Weekend McMullan Named Buffalo State Athlete of the Week
The senior health and wellness major tallied a five-point weekend that included a goal in Friday’s 5-1 win, and two goals and two assists in a 7-1 trouncing on Saturday. McMullan’s 40 career points put her into a tie for fifth on Buffalo State’s all-time scoring list. Buffalo State (6-6) will take an extended break for the holidays before returning to action in Vermont at the Castleton Tournament on Jan. 7 and 8. |

The Fort Pierce, FL native recorded team highs in both sacks (with 4.5) and tackles for losses (14.5). Even when he couldn’t take down the ball carrier, he left his mark, hitting the quarterback eight times. He also excelled in coverage, with a team-high ten pass break ups. His 68 total tackles was third-most on the team.

Western New York’s newest Semi-Professional football team, the South Buffalo Celtics, recently announced the signing of former University of West Virginia Mountaineer Rayshawn Bolden. With the recent addition of Bolden, the already open competition at wide receiver becomes that much more intense.

It’s never a good thing for your most proven receiver to go down with an injury, but for Buffalo Bills wide-out Naaman Roosevelt, it’s an opportunity.
