January 27, 200718 yr Author Just curious, what exactly brought you from Cooper City(my alma mater,btw) to Quinnipiac University in CT? Is the broadcasting program really that good? short answer...yes and I wanted to get out of Florida to the NE, so this is a perfect fit i hope bentley destroys quinnipiac haven't even looked to next week...but who's ranked #20?
January 27, 200718 yr Congrats! Enjoy it because having a nice college arena to watch your team is always good. Now excuse me, my Seminoles play today at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center.
January 27, 200718 yr What is going on here? edit: I just figured it out. When I read it I thought quinnipiac was playing at the tdbank north garden and they were showing them on sportscenter.
January 27, 200718 yr i hope bentley destroys quinnipiac haven't even looked to next week...but who's ranked #20? haha, im just messing, im just supporting my alma mater
January 27, 200718 yr Author yes, i know its a little confusing. the origional name was the Hudson United Bank Center (aka the HUB)...well TDBankNorth baught out Hudson United Bank Center and since they had the Garden, it is called the TDBankNorth Sports Center. yea... anyway, we won our first game in the building, a men's bball game (6th win a row...fantasy points!) and the women were points away. Every seat is a good seat and it feels so...wow! AMAZING arena! Well, I'm off to the hockey game where QU faces Mercyhurst (#1 in the nation) in womens ice hockey. I'll have my laptop, so I'll be sure to blog and at the same time, glance at the Panthers!
January 28, 200718 yr Wow, sounds pretty sweet. If there are any pics I'd love to see. All I know is that the pictures of the campus there look amazing. They've sent me a lot of mail recently offering scholarships for law school but I haven't applied. Cape: FSU baseball season begins in just 4 and a half days now, I'm sure you know. Talk about a great place to watch college sports. Howser is the best.
January 28, 200718 yr Can't say anything this season because you're ranked ahead of my alma mater, but we usually are on top of you. Cornell U.

I'm finally gonna get out to a game this season.

January 29, 200718 yr Looks pretty awesome Elon needs to build themselves something similar to this...although hopefully they will shoot for around 5,000 for seating...
