Recap Of Buffalo State Softball Tournament

Today, my radio station 91.3FM WBNY participated in the annual Buffalo State softball tournament at Bengal Field. Our team name this year was Dump Em' Out, inspired by former play by play for Buffalo State men's hockey Kory Reid (Dump em' out refers to women who, well you get the idea). WBNY's first game concluded in a 14-4 victory over the Bradley Bombers. This is the second victory for the radio station in organization athletics. It was a great experience being able to play with fellow DJ's, and actually win a game!

Unfortunately our run came to a rather familiar halt. Losing 15-0 to the Poles & Holes (Really?) But the feeling of winning a game was satisfying enough that it somewhat healed the pain of getting thrashed the way we did. 

Among other notes, summer vacation is drawing near and I am on my way to begin interning with WGR Sports Radio 550AM! I am very excited to begin work with a professional sports talk station. Summer vacation also means graduation for seniors at Buffalo State. So to all the seniors graduating this year, congratulations! One senior in particular is Kory, who makes each day at WBNY just that much more interesting. He is indeed a great friend and someone I will miss very much when he leaves school and begins work as a car salesman. Working with him throughout the Buffalo State football and hockey season was nothing but a joy and a pleasure from me as Sherlock Holmes on the sidelines, to our constant exchange on how the puck goes out of play instead of out of bounds during the game. 

Next post I will have another restaurant review, it will be at Cole's at 1104 Elmwood Avenue. So check back on Tuesday and see if Cole's is right for you! 

I will post later tonight to recap the Buffalo Bills draft and if they can finally get over the hump and make the playoffs this season.

That's all for now, enjoy the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight!

The Echoes Were Awakened (Part III of V)

August 16th, 2012. It was a day when a certain award-winning sportswriter for ESPN wanted to make a statement regarding one of college football's most iconic programs. Rick Reilly, Notre Dame's ultimate critic. Sports fans, college football fans, and especially Notre Dame fans read the column written by Rick Reilly on www.espn.com regarding Notre Dame football and its recent struggles. Reilly did not hold back on his sentiments that Notre Dame should be "demoted". He even went as far as to say that the Irish would have been halfway down the Mountain West Conference after their string of failed expectations over the years. But one certain list that Reilly wrote turned every domer's face beat-red. "From now on: • Notre Dame no longer gets its own television deal with NBC. • Notre Dame no longer gets to be the only school in the country with an inexplicable seat at the BCS decisions-making table. • Notre Dame no longer gets its yearly undeserved h...

   Yesterday  of course was a very sad day for not only myself, but for millions of people across the world.     The gravelly-voiced, and beloved hip hop pioneer from Brooklyn, NY has left us. Adam Yauch, aka "MCA" from the legendary hip hop group Beastie Boys, passed away today at the age of 47 after a three year battle with cancer. Yauch along with Michael Diamond (Mike D) formed the Beastie Boys in 1981, playing their first show on Yauch's 17th birthday.     The Beastie Boys were originally a punk band comprised of Yauch, Diamond, Kate Schellenbach, and John Berry. As Berry and Schellenbach left the band, Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) joined up and released their first album Licensed To Ill in 1986. 40 million albums later, the group still continued to tour until Yauch was unable to perform after being diagnosed with cancer in his salivary gland in 2009.     In honor of Yauch, the New York Mets used cuts from the Beastie ...
