Blue Hens Beat (Episode 2)

The second episode of Blue Hens Beat was released today by BlueHens.com.  Instead of giving a full blown analysis, I'll keep it concise with just a rundown of the episode and some quick thought, with the video linked up below.
  • The Prettyman Twins of UD Field Hockey & Track talk about growing up with their triplet younger siblings and the efforts of their parents.  Nice to see that Blue Hen runs in the family.
  • Blue Hen Barbara... She's a sassy one... random questions from who knows that she answers.  If she gets asked questions that are way further off topic, she could become epic!
  • Former UD Football player Siddiq Haynes takes on Kelvin McNeil of UD Basketball in P.I.G. inside the BOB.  Someone can't dunk (guess who...).
  • At the 9:12 mark, Scott Klatzkin gives a Sports Update for around the Campus... WORTH WATCHING THIS PART!  This includes a quick "Upcoming Schedule" for Blue Hen Sports
  • Quick montage of all the Service Appreciation Night features at the West Chester game.
  • Jimmy Smith sits down with Coach Keeler to go over West Chester game film (telestrator and all).  Nice little analysis of some of the highlights of the game.
  • The next episode will come on the 26th.
Not as in-depth as the last one was, but good to see some of the off-field moments.  If Siddiq had be interviewing McNeil while getting his behind handed to him, it would have been a better segment.  Also, I would have liked to see one negative play mixed in to the Keeler segment, but this is produced by the UD Athletic Department, so the odds of that were slim.  Anyway, here's the video:

"Blue Hens Beat" Debuts

BlueHens.com has debuted a new webshow called "Blue Hens Beat" which has set itself up as an interview show spanning across the landscape of Delaware athletics.  Here is the first episode and the rundown/review of it.

Title IX - The Seasons Begin!

So instead of blatantly calling the occasional summation of what's going on in Women's Athletics just that... Title IX makes so much more sense.  Think about what the point of Title IX really was: to give female athletes a fair share of athletics in relation to what male athletes received.  That's exactly what I plan to do here.  Clearly I won't be having a Volleyball or Field Hockey update every day, but I have enjoyed them both when I've gone to matches and games, and I plan on giving them their due time in this space.

So without further ado, here is the first review of the Lady Blue Hens in action:
