AND THE BEANPOT GOES TO.....

Boston College, as they held off a furious rally from a hard-charging Terrier team from Boston University to win the prestigious Beanpot Hockey Tournament, 4-3, in front of hordes of disappointed Boston University alums at the bar.







The fans of Boston University were a diehard bunch, who definitely knew their hockey, especially the females, which is always a plus in my book (There's always something sexy about a woman who knows her sports, don't let anyone fool you). Even when their team was down 4-1, they didn't give up hope. And when the team worked their way back to within one, the place was going crazy. However, when the team came up short and lost in the end, even though the Terrier fans were disappointed, they were still optimistic about their team's efforts, which is always good to see. Definitely the highlight of the night.





Speaking of ladies who know hockey, I just read an article about the phenomenon of women who like sports. We're talking about women who really like sports, not the ones who pretend to like sports; The one who has a favorite team, proudly wears the colors, can recite stats of her favorite player and actually goes to parties to cheer her team on. That's the type of women the article eluded to and the type that most red-blooded males like myself like. It made me think about some of the women who frequented our bar during football season.

There were the ones who would pretend to be sports fans; they were easy to spot: She would be the one who would put on tons of make-up to watch a football game. She's the one who would be wearing the jersey that actually fit and wasn't "man-sized". She would be the one quoting blurbs from the Sportscenter ticker, and have no clue about the player's history. That would be a fake female fan, there for only one reason: to meet a guy.

The real sports fan would be quite the opposite- she didn't really make her looks a priority- she was there for the game. She would be the one with her favorite player's jersey and could recite that person's career stats and her favorite game. She wouldn't be afraid to mix it up with the fellas, whether it be joking with one another or giving out the occasional belch.

In any case, it got me to thinking: While this type of woman was cool to hang out with on a Sunday afternoon, is this woman the type of woman to actually have a real relationship with? That is the burning question of the day. What say you, readers? Inquiring minds (at least mine) want to know....
