Just Like the Monkey Bars from Elementary School

We all ride buses and I believe that every team, minus tennis, sorry ladies and gentlemen :/, have experienced going to the bathroom at the back of the bus when it is pitch black inside and everyone is sleeping across the halls.  If you are sitting at the front of the bus, how do you move your way to the back of the bus when everyone is sleeping and there is hardly any room to move?!?!? Well there are several methods.  First you can climb over everyone, or maybe crawl under all the legs army style. But there are times when you must use the combination, which can be tricky!  We have all done this and its part of the traveling process.  I wonder which team has the most difficult time with this...??  Just another great aspect of the experiences we have as student athletes! 

5 Things Student Athletes Should Do in Buffalo!

This is a list that I have created that all student athletes should do during their downtime to explore the many adventures of Buffalo!  This list is in no particular order, but they should all be done in your careers here at UB with teammates and friends!

1.  Go to Niagara Falls! How often do you live in a place where there is majestic natural beauty that people travel from all around the world to see!! Many of you have probably gone already.....GO AGAIN!!!

2. Go to the movies!  The movies are a great place to hang out and relax AFTER classes and practice!

3.  The Walden Galleria!  This mall is great!  Awesome food and shops fill the mall and its a great place to get away from campus.

4.  Shea's Performing Arts Center.  Everyone should try to make it to at least one show here before they graduate!  They bring in a vast array of performances for everyone's pleasure! 

5.  Finally, This one is a dare!  Someone go out, find a place they loved and report it back to me.  Then I will make a blog about it!  All about you and the place you went and why other student athletes should go there!  Who will be the first to report back to me?!? 

Swimming and Diving Come up JUST Short vs. Eastern Michigan

The UB Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving teams fell just short of victories against Eastern Michigan this past weekend.  It was a tough defeat for the Men as it came down to the last race of the event!  Some notables names on the day were UB's Mike Dugan who won two events, Kelsey Barbour who won the 100 Breaststroke, and Colin McAllister who won the 1,000 yard freestyle. 

The UB Spirit was out, as both teams asked for their fellow student-athletes to wear Blue in support of the team as they competed against Eastern.  The Students were just as crazy as the UB Parents were that day! It was a hard fought battle in the UB Pool, and it will only make the two teams more hungry as they go into their next meet against St. Bonaventure at home on February 2nd!  Go out and support the teams as they take down the Bonnies!!  Go Bulls!

Kid's Day a Success for UB

 2,000 kids from the Buffalo region came out to watch the Women's Basketball game this past week and they all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the event!  The events focus was on being a Bull NOT a Bully! 
With Carissa McKenna on the Mic, her MC-ing skills got the kids all fired up!  Student-Athletes came up before the game and taught the kids some chants to use during the game.  Also, many of them interacted with the kid's prior to and during the game!

Thank you to all who came out on this awesome day for UB Athletics and support the Kid's and Women's Basketball!!!

Women's Volleyball Kills it in Their Final Game!!!

With the regular season coming to an end the Women's Volleyball team ended their season with style; beating Kent State in 4 sets!  It was a tough fight, and most of the match was very close, but the Bulls prevailed with a victory in their final game.

As usual the student-athletes came out to support the team!  The Bulls are very young and will not be graduating any Seniors this year, which should translate into an extremely successful 2013 Season!  Great job to Women's Volleyball this year and thank you to all the student-athletes who came out to support them throughout the season!

Cold Night for UB Soccer Season Ender

The weather was similar to the cross country meet at the UB Men's Soccer game on Friday night.  It was raining, maybe sleeting, and I can't believe I'm saying it...but it may have, just may have snowed for a tiny second.  But nonetheless, the weather was frigid!  Although the weather conditions were poor that did not stop the awesome turn out of student-athletes to watch the Men fight for a playoff birth against Northern Illinois.  Although the Bulls ended up losing the match 1-0, it was hard fought and their fellow student athletes were behind them the whole way! 

 

The Men finished their season strong, winning 3 out of their last 4 games; beating Florida Atlantic, Western Michigan and Hartwick in the process.  Thank you to all who came out and showed their support for the  UB Men's Soccer game this past weekend!
