Alright, let’s get the superlatives out of the way. The ice rink at Fenway park is what the hype has made it out to be. It’s a stunning setting, combining strong histories of hockey and baseball in one of America’s iconic sporting venues. As a member of the media covering this event, it was fun today just to walk the grounds and look out at the grandstands, knowing that they will be filled to capacity on Friday. Read more…

As a blizzard in southern New England finally starts to die down, Jason and Willie are on their way to Hawaii. Their flight was delayed, like many others, but shouldn’t encounter any further problems. Today is the first of a 17-day, four state journey criss-crossing the nation, and we’re proud to be able to bring it to you.
Jason or Willie will check in either late tonight or tomorrow, and will be writing most of these daily recaps in the coming days. Tomorrow is a day to catch up on some game prep and get acclimated to the area, and I’m sure they’ll have some great pictures from their beachfront location.
Tune in on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. to hear exclusive coverage of Northeastern basketball as the Huskies take on another tough opponent in St. Mary’s!
Nearly two weeks after Northeastern ended its football program, the Dog Pound Sports Sound returns to the air having digested that announcement over Thanksgiving break. Today’s show won’t be exclusively devoted to the football news (or the subsequent news that Hofstra is following suit), but you can be sure that there will be plenty of views on the topic. With that in mind, here’s today’s rundown:
Peter Roby spelled out the reasons for the end of football at Northeastern - we’ll explain our reactions to the decision, run down the arguments for and against the cut, as well as what will/should happen to the scholarships and money from the program.
Hofstra announced yesterday in a shocking move that it too was cutting football. What are the ramifications for the CAA, and is a larger conference realignment in store, not just for the CAA, but college sports on the whole?
What are your favorite memories of Northeastern football? Was it the 2002 A-10 championship? Storming the field in 2006 against New Hampshire? E-mail us (sports@wrbbradio.org) your memories.
Northeastern basketball dropped a heartbreaker to Providence on Tuesday. Jason Lavine stops by to talk about that game and preview tomorrow’s contest against Drexel to open CAA play.
Huskies Hockey plays a new-look Merrimack team on the road tonight. Keith Lavon and Alex Faust call in from North Andover to talk about the weekend series.
As always, the phone lines will be open throughout the show - call the studio at (617) 373-2658, or instant message the studio via wrbbradio on AIM. It all starts at 3:00 p.m. live on WRBB and WRBBSports.com!

It's incredible how quickly NU was able to land Ferriero. Less than 1 week for de-committing, shopping for offers, and coming to NU.
