Buffalo.com’s NPSL Great Lakes Division ‘Midseason Best XI’
blog by Ben Tsujimoto • June 17, 2013 @ 10:35am •
In a league that usually boasts considerably parity, the first half of the 2013 National Premier Soccer League Midwest Conference Great Lakes Division has been surprisingly cut-and-dry.
Detroit City FC (6-0) and FC Buffalo (5-1) are riding high at the top of the table, while Erie (2-3-2, W-L-T), FC Sparta (2-5-2) and defending champion AFC Cleveland (2-5-1) compete in the middle…

As roughly 30 or so fans from The Situation Room stormed the Robert E. Rich All-High Stadium field after the final whistle of the Blitzers’ 1-0 win over Erie, the collective exhale of FC Buffalo fans, brass and players was deafening.
“It was kind of surreal,” FC Buffalo head coach Brendan Murphy explained. “I saw the [fans] start coming over the fence—I didn’t know [what was…

A perfect soccer night in Buffalo at the beautiful venue that is Robert E. Rich All-High Stadium saw the FC Buffalo Blitzers defeat the Erie Admirals 1-0 in a hard-fought defensive battle between the two "Erie County" rivals. It had been a long period since Buffalo (6-0-1) had triumphed over Erie (2-2-2) and the dedicated Blitzer fans that filled the stands of All High were…
The Go-Go’s keep on going, visit the Falls tonight
blog by Ben Kirst • June 15, 2013 @ 9:00am •
Great songs stand up over time. Although the impact of the late 1970s-early 1980s all-female new wave group The Go-Go’s has kind of fallen off the map over the years as they have morphed into a nostalgia act, there’s no denying that this band that sold over seven million albums from 1981 to 1984 was responsible, in their moment, for some of the best popular music in America.

Remember, don’t forget: FC Buffalo to host rematch with Erie
blog by Ben Tsujimoto • June 13, 2013 @ 4:36pm •
When a team suffers an unexpectedly poor result, a common coaching tactic is to tell the players on the losing side to erase the match from memory and press forward, emphasizing positives from past victories.
That’s not how FC Buffalo head coach Brendan Murphy wants his team to prepare for the Erie Admirals, the Blitzers’ rival who comes to town for a 7 p.m. clash on Friday at…
Unfair shake?: Tracking the Tarvaris timeline
blog by Ben Tsujimoto • June 11, 2013 @ 10:36am •
The NFL is a business, and a lot of transactions make much more sense inside locker rooms than they do to the public or the media.
Still, you can’t help but feel sympathy for former Buffalo Bills quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, who was released from the organization last night. Revisiting his Bills’ timeline and the quotes that were voiced early in his tenure, it’s easy to conclude…
End of an era: Buffalo Bandits sever ties with Darris Kilgour
blog by Ben Tsujimoto • June 10, 2013 @ 3:42pm •
Some local coaching moves—like UB’s canning of Reggie Witherspoon and Niagara coach Joe Mihalich’s decision to leave for Hofstra—have caught us off-guard this year.
With the Buffalo Bandits’ announcement that the team will not renew the contract of 11-year head coach Darris Kilgour, few were caught off-guard.
Though Kilgour remains an immovable piece in Buffalo’s proud…
Tim Graham: Done with ‘Redskins’
blog by Ben Kirst • June 10, 2013 @ 2:19pm •
Let no one accuse Buffalo News sportswriter Tim Graham of being wishy-washy: in a post entitled ‘I don’t need Daniel Snyder’s, NFL’s permission to stop saying R-word’ on BuffaloNews.com today, the former ESPN.com blogger and Buffalo Sabres beat writer explained his decision to stop referring to the National Football League’s Washington Redskins as such.
“Beyond the period at the…
FC Buffalo fends off AFC Cleveland, captures fifth win
blog by Ben Tsujimoto • June 10, 2013 @ 11:04am •
In soccer matches that are highly physical, the winning team usually has the benefit of fortuitous bounces, favorable whistles—or both.
FC Buffalo (5-1) took advantage of a rare occurrence—two own goals by a team—to defeat AFC Cleveland 3-2 in front of a season-high 703 fans at Robert E. Rich All-High Stadium. Anthony Rozzano (pictured, header) potted the Blitzers’ other goal—the…
