Spiders Celebrate Bandits Win at Questionable Location

After any Buffalo Bandit's lacrosse home game, some of our current and former spidey friends have made it a tradition to "throw a few back" at the Cobblestone Bar and Grill right around the corner from the HSBC Arena.
As it is being reported here first, some of the crew were spotted out last Saturday night following the Bandits win versus Colorado, "hoopin' it up" and "partying like it was 1987" at Macaroons in Cheektowaga.

However, not every spider was convinced that this was the place to celebrate the victory. "Come on Peek, what the hell is the difference between Macaroons and Neighbors? Let's just go there," questioned Josh Huber.
"But Josh, where else can you meet people and rock out to the music of Whitesnake, Journey, ACDC, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel and Bon Jovi till your heart's desire? Come on man, feel it!," remarked a spider who asked for anonymity.
.
Other sources have it the Huber made multiple attempts to contact spider Joe Zawada to join them, but for some reason, Zawada did not return his calls.
.
There was a noteworthy appearance by former AI referee Sensor. No sighting of Dennis Badding or former Buffalo Sabre John Tucker.
.
Further reports have it that some spiders did indeed end up at Neighbors much later in the night...

Excuse me mister, I know Josh Huber... and he is no Phil Luckett!!

If you did not hear, our friend and Spider teammate Josh Huber has been accepted as a member of the EAIFO or Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football Officials. This organization covers the entire Northeast from Philadelphia on up.

Any college football official regardless of level working in the Northeast must first become a part of this group. At first Josh will be working timekeeper assignments, JV, and Lightweight games for Division 2,3, and Junior Colleges like Brockport, ECC, St. Lawrence, Cortland, Cornell, Buffalo State, etc.

“This essentially means lots of travel, little pay, and a lot of paying my dues... but I am very excited,” remarked an enthusiastically Josh Huber. “Someday one of you will throw a beer at their TV because of me.”

Well, we wish you well Josh and look forward to cursing you out. And Remember, when in doubt, "Just give it to 'em!"
