Whoa! I totally forgot to mention this, tonight is the finals for the annual Beanpot hockey game in Boston.
Northeastern will play Harvard in the Consolation Game at 5 pm EST and Boston University will play Boston College in the Championship Game at 8 pm EST. Both are scheduled to air on NESN.
I generally don't get too fired up about being an Alum of Boston University, but I'm a fan of the Collge of Communication. And Hockey.
So here are some fun facts:
Did you know that every Beanpot championship game to date (since 1954) has featured either Boston College or Boston University, or both?
Did you know Boston University has won 27 Beanpot titles, half of all 54 Beanpot Championships thus far?
Did you know that Boston University won all four Beanpots when I was in school?
Anyway, if you get NESN, you might want to check it out. Should be a good game ...
