Someone ought to be paying me a lot of money: ever since I moved to Boston the championship prospects of the local teams have greatly improved...
Earlier this evening I went out to BU's new Agganis Arena where the school had invited the student body to watch the game (instead of rioting at Kenmore). The arrangement was a little surreal: a brand new arena, with arena food concessions (except the school provided free diet pepsi and bottled water, and ONLY free diet pepsi and bottled water...), the game on the brand new video screens hanging over the arena floor with the sound blasting out of the brand new PA system, and people ice skating on the rink in the middle. (It's BU - they take their skating seriously.)
I had just stopped in to take a peek and went home shortly after kickoff. I could tell how the game was going by the yelling and screaming coming from all the apartments in the neighborhood as I walked past. There was a lot of yelling at the end of the game too...
