The 'original' ultimate

Bet you didn't know you missed a great game of ultimate Frisbee aka 'disc' at Delaware Park today. Yes, ultimate in Buffalo is alive and well. Considered (by me) to be the greatest sport of all time, ultimate is a mix of rugby, football, and soccer, but it's played with a 175 gram disc or frisbee. It's a sport of endurance, strategy, and honor. Our Buffalo co-ed traveling team plays against Toronto, Rochester, Albany, and a number of other regional teams. If you are an ultimate player or are looking for a new team sport, send us an e-mail and we will get you the '05 practice schedule. At the moment, it's Saturdays @ noon at Delaware Park's rugby field. Come handle the disc with the local club team (UB ultimate players making guest appearances) or show your support for UB's women team, 'The Pitchforks.'

Will this stick? Will there be some kind of investigation? When will the other shoe drop?
One dropped yesterday. In a letter to board Chairman Ramon Morales, Assemblyman Sam Hoyt announced his intention to pull his legislative initiative funding from West Side …
Four games in 6 nights certainly marks a rough patch in a schedule, and the Buffalo Sabres showed what kind of toll it can take by losing to the Nashville Predators 2-0 on home ice.
To be fair, both teams played an uninspired game from start to finish, which makes sense when you consider that the Predators played 3 games in 5 nights. There were few exciting scoring chances on either side of the ice and the game's pace was both stilted and broken. It was likely due to the coache …
From Hoss: "Is Kabob and Curry opening at the old Mondo location on Elmwood, or Main? I haven't been to their primary eatery on Transit, but I hear they serve the best Indian food around."
Kabab and Curry will open in about two weeks at the former Mondo Video location... approximately mid-December. I understand that it will be more of a take-out operation than the existing restaurant located on Transit Road. It appears as if the Transit eatery attracts a lot of university student …
