I've Been Tardy!!

Sorry for the delay between blog posts. It has been a very busy week.

Right now BU is preparing to host the NCAA Division II field hockey championships, the final four, next Friday (Nov. 14) and Sunday (Nov. 16). Bloomsburg and Bentley College have received byes into the semifinals. The finals are set for Sunday, the 16th at 1 p.m.

The football team, of course, is still in the running for an NCAA playoff bid. The Huskies dropped to fourth in the region after last week's loss to West Chester. Bloomsburg, though, has a shot to move up if two of the team's in front of them lose this weekend. WCU plays at Cal and American International (#2) plays Southern Connecticut.If BU does not move up to number two in the rankings, there will be a home game on Nov. 15th. The pairings for the NCAA playoffs will be announced on Sunday between 3 and 3:30 p.m. on ESPN News.

The women's soccer team also has a good shot at making the NCAA playoffs. The Huskies are number three in this week's regional rankings and the top six make the tournament. The pairings will be announced on Nov. 10th on ncaa.com.

The cross country team runs in the NCAA Atlantic Regionals tomorrow at Slippery Rock. We'll have a full report at BU Huskies.COM

The men's basketball team plays at Penn State on Sunday at 2 p.m. You can see the game on the web at Big 10 Network or listen on the web to Jim Doyle at WHLM.COM

Keep voting in the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year contest. Coach Hale needs all the support we can give him as he looks for another big finish just as he did two years ago!

A follow-up to last weekend's homecoming game. What a tremendous crowd! It was great to see so many people get fired up to come watch the Huskies. There were lots of gold shirts (there could have been more!!!), but we'll work on that for next year. Let's make sure we show our support this weekend to the field hockey team (it would be great to see the house packed for them), and hopefully the football team.

BE HUSKY PROUD!!!!
