The Buffalo Gladiators are a semi-pro American football team based out of Buffalo, NY. They play in the Northeastern Football Alliance, formerly the New York Amateur Football League. The Gladiators, as well as much of the rest of the NYAFL, were former members of the Mid Continental Football League until that league contracted into the midwest. The team is led by longtime quarterback and head coach "Jobber" John Augustine. The team currently plays at Kunz Stadium at the University of Buffalo, replacing the former site of Buffalo War Memorial Stadium. The team has had several homes in its history, mostly high school stadiums in the area, even as far south as Salamanca, New York in one year when the team could not find a field in the Buffalo suburbs. Try-It Distributing owns the franchise. The Gladiators have won more league titles than all of the other NYAFL teams combined, winning six titles in the first nine seasons of the league. They are the league's only quality team remaining! The Buffalo Gladiators concluded their regular 2010 season with a perfect record of 10wins and 0 losses ranking as high as 11th in the nation for semi-pro football. It was a great effort by all the team notching 4 defensive shutouts on opponents. They fell to division rivals the Jamestown Chiefs in the semi final playoff game and were not able to pursue the dream of league champions. 10 YEAR TEAM HISTORY: *10 playoff appearances *8-time league Champions *8-time New York State Champions *2-time defending Harvest Bowl Champions *2-time defending Eastern USA Champions *2001 National Champions *Multiple other titles and championships 2009 Schedule June 20 SOUTHERN TIER DIESEL 7:00 PM June 27 LYDONVILLE TIGERS 7:00 PM July 4 BYE WEEK July 11 JAMESTOWN CHIEFS 7:00 PM July 18 ROME RAMPAGE (@NICHOLS) 5:00 PM July 25 @ Syracuse Shock 6:30 PM August 1 @ Troy Fighting Irish 5:00 PM August 15 @ Southern Tier Diesel 7:30 PM August 22 @ Lyndonville Tigers 7:30 PM August 29 JAMESTOWN CHIEFS 7:00 PM September 12 PLAYOFFS BEGIN 2010 Schedule June 5 @ Jamestown 5:30pm June 12 @ Lyndonville 7:00pm June 19 Jamestown (UB - Kunz Field) 7:00pm June 26 Lyndonville (Nichols) 5:00pm July 3 Bye July 10 Bye July 17 Bye July 24 @ Watertown 7:00pm July 31 @ Rome (UB) 7:00pm Aug. 7th @ Southern Tier (in Salamanca) 7:00pm Aug. 14th @ Southern Tier (UB) 7:00pm Aug. 21st @ Troy 5:00pm Aug. 28th Cortland (Nichols) 5:00pm Sept. 4th Bye Sept. 11th Bye Sept. 18th Bye Sept. 25th Playoffs Begin
