(No Ratings Yet)From ESPN: “Welcome back to the best time of the year. Put your pens away, take your brackets out and let the games begin.” Welcome to March Madness, the happiest time of the year! Coming from an area where college basketball is at least on par with college football in terms of devotion and attention, I’ve experienced [...](read more...)
by Brian Roach | March 4, 2010 (No Ratings Yet)When the Terriers take to the ice this weekend against Huntington Ave. rival Northeastern, they’ll have (another) chance to lock up the number four spot in the Hockey East standings. Boston University will need help — but if recent play has been any indication, these Terriers probably don’t deserve a fourth-place finish. A February 19 loss [...](read more...)

(+1)As a student in Basic Photo 305 at Boston University, I’m privileged to learn photography from a real expert in the field, Joe Lippincott. In class this past Monday, Professor Lippincott shared with us his still-vivid memories of photographing the “Miracle On Ice” at the winter Olympics 30 years ago. I was touched by [...](read more...)
by Kristian Limas | February 24, 2010 (No Ratings Yet)General George S. Patton put it best when he addressed the men of his Third Army before their arrival in France on D-Day: “Americans love to fight, the thought of losing is disgusting to an American.” Apparently, the United States Olympic hockey team got the same message. With a 5-3 win over gold medal favorite and [...](read more...)
by Brian Roach | February 18, 2010 (No Ratings Yet)The past few months have been anything but kind to fans of Boston sports. The Red Sox were unceremoniously booted from the playoffs (and, adding insult to injury, Boston’s bitter rivals, the New York Yankees, were dubbed World Champions). The Boston University Terriers men’s ice hockey team kicked off their title defense with a resounding [...](read more...)
by Stephen Maouyo | February 17, 2010 (+1)If there exists a condition or illness that requires the diseased’s interest in sports about which no one else cares, I have it. Perhaps it’s from growing up in Maryland, where we play, with fervor, lacrosse, a sport approximately 47 people in this country have ever seen, and where the state sport is jousting. (Note: [...](read more...)
by Chuck Giroux | December 10, 2009 (No Ratings Yet)Agganis Arena is home to one of the few things I truly care for, BU hockey. Agganis is one of the best places to watch a hockey game, and has few close rivals in college sports. However, the building has several flaws that keep it from truly being amazing. Don’t get me wrong: I love [...](read more...)
by Marc Filippino | November 30, 2009 (No Ratings Yet)With last Friday’s win over Indiana, the Boston University men’s basketball team accomplished a number of feats: they got their first win of the year, they won in a foreign country (Puerto Rico sends its regards), and as a team, BU showed that it could win coming from behind. However, most importantly the Terriers got [...](read more...)
by Brian Roach | November 27, 2009 (No Ratings Yet)Last year, without Kevin Garnett, the Boston Celtics were unceremoniously booted from the NBA’s Eastern Conference Semifinals. This year, a hungry Garnett helped guide the C’s to an 8-0 start. Things were looking eerily reminiscent of Boston’s record-setting 27-2 start to the ‘08-’09 campaign. Then, the wheels seemed to fall off after a 110-103 loss at [...](read more...)
by Josh Mellits | November 25, 2009 (No Ratings Yet)It’s as American as apple pie, voting for celebrity dancers and engaging in protracted overseas conflicts: watching football on Thanksgiving! As tradition dictates on every last Thursday in November, Americans could express their gratitude for family and friends, health and happiness, but it’s much more fun to join the millions who will gather around the [...](read more...)
