TalkBuffaloSports.com's Weekly News Update! 11/25/08

Come visit! TalkBuffaloSports.com:

We love our short work/school week! Tomorrow being the busiest bar night in the land, and because most TBS.com'ers love the drink (it's what keeps us witty) - we ask you to be careful! Wear a condom!

With that out of the way and since this should be more of a time of reflection and Thanks...we would like to thank you for making us a part of your daily morning, midday break and #1 hang out in the shoutbox during game time!

For some of you this is the first place you go when you should be hard at work in the morning - and we are grateful.

Enjoy this Thanksgiving weekend...and have fun!

News of the Week:

* The Buffalo Bills are in bounce back mode in coming off a stellar performance against the Kansas City Chiefs this past Sunday. Edwards got a little bit of his swagger back and the running game is starting to pick up some momentum. Next up the Mike Singletary led San Francisco Forty-Niners. Hi Takeo! Playoff hopes are alive but we need to win out right and hope the conference competition doesn't fare as well.

* The Buffalo Sabres (9-8-3) are on a losing streak. Lindy whose team has lost five straight in regulation and is just 1-6-1 in the last eight games, likes the all around effort his guys put in this past weekend...but they are not burying their opportunities.

* The Sabres will be debuting their third jersey tomorrow night at Home against the Northeast leading Boston Bruins.(14-3-4). On Friday the Crosby led Pittsburgh Penguins (12-5-3) come back to town for a 7:30pm EST start and Saturday caps the end of hockey week with Buffalo heading to the Montreal Canadians (11-5-4)...maybe they will score another goal on themselves...we need all the help we can get!

* A huge congratulations goes out to the University at Buffalo Bulls football team! A courageous, gutty and methodical show was put on with 13 minutes left in last Friday's game against Bowling Green to overcome a 20-point second half deficit for a 40-34 double OT win. The Bulls clinch a bowl berth and take first place in the MAC Division! Awesome.

* Another UB Bulls note: Mac Honors to the following - Drew Willy was named the East Division Offensive Player of the Week and Mike Newton was named the East Division Defensive Player of the Week.

* The University at Buffalo men’s and women’s basketball teams will be hosting their first doubleheader on Tuesday night as both teams will meet Big Four rival, Niagara. The UB women (2-2) will get things started on Tuesday night with a 6:00 pm tipoff against the Purple Eagles (1-2). The Buffalo men (2-1), who will be playing their first game at home, are scheduled to tip off against Niagara (2-1) at 8:00 pm.
