• 3.12.04, 6:11pm - Hell of a Try: I'm sorry to say that the Beavers' great 2003-04 season has come to an end, but only after a close game against the University of Puget Sound Loggers in the Sweet 16. BVU came up on the short end of a 70-66 score.
BV finishes the season with a school record 27 wins and only 3 losses. They also have IIAC Conference & Tournament titles. The Beavers will lose only two of this year's starters to graduation--and the team's bench has been invaluable this year--so look for the BVU to be back next year. Congratulations to the Beavers on a great season!
Nice people. Referee shirts. What could possibly go wrong?
Coming soon.
At this point, I'm probably hyping this ref thing a little too much. Don't get too excited. I'm not that funny.
• 3.10.04, 8:26pm - The Logging Competition: You can listen to the Beavers' "Sweet 16" game LIVE on the web this Friday beginning at 4:30pm (CT). Just go to http://www.bvu.edu/streaming/ . (The audio broadcast of the game will be archived on the same site.) The Beavers are facing the University of Puget Sound Loggers, which begs the question: Who's better at felling trees... Beavers or Loggers ?
The winner of the BVU/UPS game will face either Thomas More of Kentucky or Wilmington of Ohio on Saturday at 6:00pm (CT). If the Beavers advance to that game, it will also be broadcast on the BVU website .
Coming soon: A dissertation on the lesson I learned from the fans sitting behind me at the Beavers' 2nd round game. What happens when good people put on black and white striped shirts?
Find out soon.
