End-of-semester studies must be getting the best of Canisius College students’ schedule. That’s the only explanation that I can offer for the serious lack of student support for the Golden Griffins’ basketball team for their 7:00 p.m. tip-off Thursday night at the Koessler Athletic Center.

The relatively small constituency of Canisius students saw their Griffs fall to the…

Today is a special day where we should take time to remember those who have dropped gloves, gone toe to toe, tiltskies and started throwing bombs in honor of our wonderful City of Buffalo. On December 8, 1991 the Calgary Flames took on the Buffalo Sabres for a heated game at the Aud and you could cut the tension with a knife. The media had hyped up this anticipated game ever since…

FC Buffalo is an amateur soccer club that plays in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL). This weekend, the team is hosting an event to ramp up publicity for the upcoming 2012 NPSL season.

From 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. this Saturday, the soccer club will host its annual Winter’s Wolves Holiday Throwdown at The Town Ballroom (681 Main St.). This free event will offer a number of…

With one tally in the win column this year and no victories in MAAC play, the Canisius College Golden Griffins (1-5, 0-2 MAAC) cannot be happy with how their season has started. The Griffs will look to double their win total when they welcome the South Dakota Coyotes (2-5, 0-2 Summit) into town for a 7:00 p.m. tip-off tonight at the Koessler Athletic Center.

The Griffs are…

Even before the NCAA men’s basketball conference schedule hits full-throttle, the world of college basketball moves fast and furious. Top 25 teams seemingly play every night and Western New York teams face plenty of mid-week games—this is a lot different than football’s once-per-week focus.

For a broad perspective of the college b-ball scene at large, tune in to the Tsuj’s Ten…

In two games this year against Big 4 rivals, the University at Buffalo Bulls men’s basketball team has an even record—UB pummeled Canisius before losing by six to St. Bonaventure on Saturday. With the post-game frustration—heck, anger—that you’d expect from a team with NCAA Tournament expectations, watch for the Bulls (4-2 overall) to bounce back tonight at Niagara University.

The…

It’s always big news when our sports teams make the national headlines—preferably in a positive way—but this fan took the headlines into her own hands by getting caught on video flipping out. When asked to put out her cigarette, this feisty female wasn’t too pleased. She got all up in another guy’s grill and proceeded to mock the heck out of him.

When he stops engaging her, the…

Here is the original hit by Jordin Tootoo on Ryan Miller from the Nashville Predators game on December 3.

Here is Brendan Shanahan’s (VP of player safety) video explanation of Tootoo’s two game suspension that was released yesterday.

And here are my favorite reactions to the suspension from fans and commentators on twitter.

From the opening whistle of last Saturday’s Atlantic Hockey match-up between the Canisius College Golden Griffins and the Holy Cross Crusaders, it was clear that Canisius was outmatched.  After the Griffins took a penalty in the first minute of the game, Holy Cross used the ensuing power play to jump out to an early 1-0 lead.  The Crusaders never looked back, adding three more…
