Tonight (a couple of hours from now), my Binghamton Bearcats will be making their very first-ever NCAA appearance and I am very excited. The #15-seeded Bearcats will square off against #2-seeded Duke Blue Devils at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC. If you’re in the area and a current BU student or alumni, you’re invited to attend the pre-game “warm-up”. In addition, there is an alumni/friends meetup at BG McGee’s on 4701 High Point Road at 4pm before hand. Tip off is at 9:40 pm (EST) and there will be viewing parties held around the country, find the one nearest you here. For New Yorkers, The Hill on 416 3rd Ave. (between 29th and 30th streets) will be hosting a viewing party with “Pitchers and Buckets” specials all night. Let’s Go Bearcats!

Super Bowl XLII: the most watched super bowl ever (94.08 Million Views), the second most watch television show ever, and the most exciting game I have ever seen.

NY Giants: Super Bowl XLII champions, and dynasty killers.

2 days after their triumph, the Giants return home for their ticker tape parade in downtown Manhattan. I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the madness during my lunch break and boy was it scary. Not only was there thousands of people, but many were drunk, climbing on buses, and getting naked (not a pretty site). It took me about 35 minutes just to get out of the crowd and back on a train.

The Jeep Street Sessions is coming back to Union Square, NYC. It will showcase a narrowed field of 20 world class competitors who will compete for a $30,000 purse on custom urban features designed and built by Mountain Creek’s JibLab. Spectators will enjoy the action sports block party in Union Square from 3-6 pm, which will include autograph sessions, giveaways and product demonstrations from event sponsors including Mountain Creek, Jeep, Burton, Snowboarder Magazine, Red Bull, Oakley, and N’East Magazine. Last year, a crowd of over 10,000 packed Union Square for this unique event. The Fun begins at 3pm and wont end until 9pm on Feb 7. If you can’t make it to Manhattan you can catch all the action on NBC Sports on February 16th from 5-6pm.
