And Your Leading Goal Scorer for the Terriers As Of Tonight Is…

BU decimated the University of New Hampshire Wildcats tonight, 5-0.  This is not always a good thing, for the two teams meet again Saturday evening, and when UNH gets angry, they get…angry. Like, I may be assaulted by a smelly, slimy, dead trout when I walk into the Whittamore Center Saturday evening with my BU hockey jersey on.  At least my cat will want to cuddle with me afterward.

Have I mentioned that I love this hockey team? Holy heck – they’re fast, they’re great penalty killers and they try so hard most of the time.  This team is amazing. There’s nothing else you can say. In the mobs of people exiting the arena after the games, you just hear people in awe talking about what they’ve just watched. Tonight I heard about six people as I left the arena use the word dominance. That might be what this is.  I prefer the word fun. This is fun.

I’ll report back from New Hampshire. Check the Twitter feed to your right  for in game updates Saturday night.

Awww…How Fast They Grow Up

Awwww….

I couldn’t wait for next week’s Beanpot preview to share this photo of Jason Lawrence, Chris Higgins and Brandon Yip with the 2006 Beanpot. The three of them, now seniors for the Terriers, owned that Beanpot.  Most notably, Higgins had a goal so remarkable that it made ESPN’s Sportscenter that evening.

But I’ll talk about that more next week.  I am about to head off to the BU-UNH game at Agganis, but I just had to share that photo.

We may have lagged in our regular programming as of late, but it’s because I’ve been blogging fast and furious over at Examiner Boston about the “Biggest Hit of the Year” in pro lacrosse – Boston Blazers’ Mitch Belisile’s hit on New York Titan Jarret Park last Saturday night. Thanks to my readers from the Examiner for making me one of the top Examiners this week!

My Gabe Kapler T-Shirt Collection Is Growing

Happy belated birthday to me, happy belated birthday to me, happy belated birthday from Gabe Kapler, happy belated birthday to meeeeeee.

Last Monday was my birthday, and Gabe Kapler, my favorite baseball player of all time, unknowingly gave me a birthday gift.  How? Because on that day, without much fanfare,  Kapler signed with the defending American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays. I wasn’t sure if he would stay in baseball this year, so his signing with the Rays is a mighty fine birthday present.

The Rays added Kapler as insurance for center fielder BJ Upton, who some sportswriters speculate may not be ready for Opening Day due to his recovery from shoulder surgery. Kapler signed a one year, one million dollar contract with the Rays. Continue reading

A La Carte Cable – What Would You Choose?

A few days back, I posted the following as a Facebook status message:

“Kat thinks the only things on TV worth watching are on her digital sports tier. Who needs CNN and MTV when you can have Fox College Sports Central and the like?”

That may be the truest Facebook status message in the history of status messages. Continue reading
