Countdown to Senior Night: The Sportscenter Generation

6 March, 2009 / Kat

This year’s graduating class from the Boston University men’s hockey team is quite familiar with ESPN’s Sportscenter, because members of the class have been featured on it four times so far in their four years. College hockey does not get a lot of Sportscenter love (even when John Buccigross is involved), so for members of a single graduating class to appear on the iconic show multiple times is quite a feat.

As I mentioned last month, Sportscenter doesn’t have a great online video archive, so I am without video for all of one of these appearances. I have found alternative video where available.

Maine: Players Will Be Sat On and Sinners Will Be Towed

My Partner-In-Crime took this picture in Freeport, ME

For Valentine’s Day, my fiance and I traveled to Orono, Maine to cross yet another Hockey East arena off our list and see Boston University take on the University of Maine Black Bears. Because of our work obligations, we could only make the Saturday game and missed Friday evening’s BU blow-out. I followed the game on the radio and online Friday night, and knew we would see some angry Black Bears on Saturday evening.

Up in the Wilds of Maine

I am heading to Orono, Maine for the second game in the weekend Boston University – Maine series. I’ll be Twittering from the game, but not as well as I did for the Beanpot, since it is Valentine’s Day and I should be paying attention to my fiance.

To see my updates, please visit http://www.twitter.com/sportsgirlkat. I don’t have my computer with me, so there won’t be an indepth recap until late Sunday when I get back.

Together, Again: Boston University and the Beanpot

9 February, 2009 / Kat

Enjoy the following photo slideshow of the trophy presentation and special awards ceremony from Monday evening’s Beanpot championship game. I wish I was quicker on the camera – there are a few shots I missed, including all of the seniors carrying the Beanpot and a shot I saw right as I was putting the camera away of tournament MVP Nick Bonino and the scorer of both night’s game-winning goals, Jason Lawrence, soaking up some last few moments on the Garden ice. I hope someone got that shot.

My favorite picture is of all the players picking up their equipment off the ice – I tried to get a few of these, but my camera is elderly and just isn’t getting all the shots it used to. I think it’s the last one in the slideshow.

Oh, and there is a Beanpot recap – including an inexplicable, “Your mom goes to college!” line from Scott Van Pelt – on ESPN’s Sportscenter tonight. Unlike last week, I was able to catch it on TV.

Also, if you didn’t read it while the game was ongoing, my live coverage live from the Garden is available here (select play on the Cover It Live video.)

More Beanpot recap will be forthcoming.

It’s Beanpot Monday, and I’m Live Tweeting. (Updated Tuesday Morning)

My BlackBerry photo of the clearly relieved Terriers at the end of their too-close matchup with Harvard.

Oh, what a Beanpot first game. I think it’s a good thing I have low blood pressure, because I think my blood pressure was at an all time high last night, meaning it was normal.

While I’ll have a more indepth recap later, here are my live Tweets from the game. If you notice, I was too busy hyperventilating when A-Number-Twenty-One scored his winning goal to update the Twitter feed. Start from the bottom up to read in chronological order. Continue reading
