The Bills lived up to fans’ high expectations in week one against the Los Angeles Rams, as an away win against these defending champions is no small feat. Buffalo looked to pick up where they left off in their season opener against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans came into week two looking to turn their season around having lost their first matchup against the consistently below-average New York Giants. Notable inactive players for the Bills included defensive tackle Ed Oliver and wide receiver Gabe Davis, both of whom are dealing with ankle issues. 

In the ultimate attempt to make money, non-boxers are getting in the ring simply because they can. While it makes sense to see former star athletes such as football player Adrian Peterson put the gloves on and step in the ring, the real problems are the internet personalities: specifically, that of Jake Paul.

Last Sunday, the Geneseo Men’s Rugby team traveled to LeMoyne College in Syracuse for their first league match of the season. The Warthogs are back in the regular 15s season as members of the Lake Effect Rugby Conference, putting them up against Buffalo State, Ithaca College, University of Rochester, Niagara University, and the newest edition to the conference, LeMoyne College.

The SUNY Geneseo men’s and women’s cross-country teams each competed in two invitationals this past week, garnering positive results. On Friday, Sept. 16, the teams traveled to East Lansing, Michigan to compete at the Spartan Invitational, an event put on by BIG10 school Michigan State University. 

The controversial, Saudi-backed LIV (Roman numerals for fifty-four) Golf Tour played its first tournament on Jun. 9, 2022. The tournament was held in Hertfordshire, England and officially brought about a legitimate competition to contend with the long-standing PGA. However, with many of the globally ranked, top-100 players in golf already having signed up for and competed in this new upstart, things are becoming more unclear. Is the PGA outdated and thus vulnerable enough to be overtaken by this exciting new tour?

The Buffalo Bills took on the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles on Thursday, Sept. 8, attempting to prove that the team finally has what it takes to make it to their first National Football League championship. A major concern before the game was how Quarterback Josh Allen and the rest of the offense would fare under their new offensive coordinator, Ken Dorsey. The team saw multiple years of playoff success under the lead of former OC Brian Daboll, who left the team during the offseason to try and turn around the ever-struggling New York Giants as their new head coach.

For many people who grew up in the Rochester area, the Red Wings have been a staple of the culture. Allowing young local teams to run the bases and be great entertainment for a family night out made the Rochester Red Wings iconic. While the mascot antics are fun for everyone, the team itself has been beyond underwhelming for nearly a decade now. Winning seasons have become less and less common, and they have been by small margins as of late.

Being a Yankee fan has not been easy over the past two months; the team started the season on top, going 56-21 from April to June—on pace for 118 wins, which would break the all-time record for wins in a single season. It seemed like this was finally the year that the Yankees would get back to the World Series, a height they have not reached since 2009.

The Geneseo Men’s Soccer team came back for blood hosting the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) on Saturday, Sept. 10, defeating the Tigers 2-1. The men’s team win comes after a tough loss to RIT by the women’s soccer team on Sept. 7.

This weekend, the Geneseo Men’s Club Rugby team traveled to Clarion, PA for the Allegheny Rugby Union Championship Tournament on Apr. 30. The tournament boasts attendance from the top rugby 7’s teams in the Allegheny region, which stretches all the way from Western New York to schools as far as Indiana. The team has racked up a series of significant tournament appearances in the past year to get them to this point.

Baseball has long been considered “America’s Pastime,” associated with the nostalgia of the likes of Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, and many others, along with competitive thrill; and of course, a love of peanuts and cracker jacks. My love for baseball is deeply rooted and I look forward to the World Series every year, so I have nothing against the major leagues. But, in my opinion, minor league baseball is more enjoyable to watch than major league baseball. Now, before you draw and quarter me, and before you raise your eyebrows at me (looking at you, Mia), let me explain. 

Every four years, the World Cup proves once again that soccer is the most popular sport in the world, routinely drawing hundreds of millions of viewers. The group stage will kick off Nov. 21 with the final scheduled for Dec. 18 in the host country of Qatar. For the 32 teams that qualified, the group stage matchups are set, and we can predict winners and losers for this tournament’s group stage. Here are a few predictions of mine. 

The Formula 1 race at the well-regarded track in Imola, Italy, this past weekend was one for the books. With unforeseen crashes and winners, the race was a testament to how crazy this season truly will be. 

The women’s lacrosse team has had an impressive season so far with several wins against other SUNYAC teams. Today I’ll be recapping some game highlights throughout the month of April.

As some of the snow and sludge of winter start to fade away, it starts to feel enticing for the first time in months to leave the dorm to breathe in some fresh air, get your body moving, and, as my dad used to say to my siblings and I when we had spent the entire day playing Wii sports inside, “get the stink off ya.” That being said, it can sometimes be difficult to engage in this sort of movement, especially for people who have not experienced Geneseo pre-pandemic and aren’t sure of the resources that Geneseo has to offer. If any of these statements resonate with you, here are some tips and tricks for how to get out and get moving to ring in spring!

This past weekend on Sunday Apr. 10, Geneseo’s multicultural dance group Original Xpressions (OGX) held their fifth annual showcase, “Welcome to the Party”; the two-hour performance included ten original dance performances from the group as well as three guest performances from other superbly talented dance groups on campus, hosted by a highly-comedic duo, sophomore psychology major Riley Weaver and junior Aaron Enriquez. This article will serve as a brief recap and review of the event for those who couldn’t attend, or for those who want to reminisce viewing such incredible enthusiasm and athleticism!
