But when Jaleel Verser and Wonderful Monds were dismissed from the team because of academic shortcomings, the Bulls' point of pride, their deep linebacking corps, appeared suddenly thin. Good news for Stockman, who is Verser's apparent replacement based on first-team reps in the 11-on-11 scrimmages this week in training camp.

It wasn't until late in the scrimmage that either developed a rhythm, with Zordich finding Fred Lee for about a 20-yard touchdown on a slant and Licata setting up Jordan Johnson's 1-yard scoring plunge with about a 20-yard throw to redshirt freshman wideout Ron Willoughby.
Meanwhile the UB Men's Basketball team and Women's Soccer team were involved with exhibition play.

The 2012 women's soccer season kicked off Sunday afternoon, with the Bulls traveling to Cleveland for its lone exhibition game of the year, facing the Cleveland State Vikings.

In a physical warm-up match before this coming Friday's home and regular-season opener, the Bulls displayed its usual stout defense and found a wealth of offense from its bench to secure the win.

Buffalo's 18-Year MLB Drought Is Over: Angels Call Up Steven Geltz - Hustle Belt
I always love these stories. Steven Geltz, a 5'10" right-handed pitcher who began the year in Double-A, was called up to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim big league team, marking the first time that a Buffalo Bulls baseball player touched an MLB roster since Joe Hesketh pitched for the Boston Red Sox on August 7, 1994, five days before MLB had its players strike, and Hesketh retired that offseason. So it's been 18 years and four days.
