M. lacrosse will joyfully start its season with an exhibition game Saturday against the Iroquios U19 team.

Since it will be a long weekend and many of you won’t be on campus, not many home games are scheduled for this weekend. But today, National Lacrosse Hall of Fame player and renowned Native American speaker and activist, Oren Lyons is giving a talk about the cultural and spiritual role of lacrosse in Native communities at 4pm in the Granoff Center. It sounds cool to all you anti-sports people, right? Non-violent and all that jazz? But if you’re the type that enjoys watching sports more than talking about them, here are all the weekend home games:

Friday, Feb. 17

M. ice hockey drops its gloves and fights Harvard at 7pm. Go simply because you don’t like Harvard.
W. basketball definitely does not drop the ball against the Crimson at 7pm. Go simply because the women’s basketball team is better than the hockey team.

Zak DeOssie '07 celebrates his second Super Bowl win with the Giants. Hope this doesn't hurt too much.

Is this picture too soon? We’re sorry. But let’s put the Super Bowl in the past. Whether you’re a Giants fan or a Patriots fan, or you were hoping for both teams’ destruction, let’s unite now — through our mutual love of the Bears. Here is a schedule of the home games your fellow classmates will be competing in this weekend:

Friday, Feb. 10

W. ice hockey takes on the No. 3 Big Red at 7pm. It’s the team’s annual “Pink at the Rink” event!
W. basketball rumbles with the Lions, also at 7pm. There isn’t any special event going on. The squad is just a lot more ballin’ than the women’s hockey team.

Saturday, Feb. 11

Don’t let the fluffy white stuff that’s supposed to be falling from the sky stop you from coming to these matchups. Bears are supposed to be hibernating. But Brown Bares Bears are better than that. [Read more →]

The wrestling squad has two home conference matches this weekend, and is looking for its third straight win.

You think Brown sports teams are a bit boring, don’t you? That’s the underlying assumption, right? After all, The Herald ran a series about how we’re “Underdog U.”  But maybe we’re all just really attending the wrong sports. Women’s basketball coach Jean Marie Burr won her 300th game last week against Dartmouth, and the wrestling and men’s tennis teams are racking up some impressive wins. Maybe you’ll cheer them on this weekend, or maybe you’ll stick with the typical hockey. Here’s a quick schedule of Bruno’s home matches this weekend:

Friday, Feb. 3

M. hockey looks to stay in the playoff picture with a win over Clarkson at 7pm.

But if hockey’s not your thing, m. basketball will be battling Princeton next door at the Pizz., also at 7pm.

And then, if you get bored watching tall dudes run up and down a court, you can head to the indoor tennis courts in the Pizz to watch w. tennis against PC at 8pm.

It’s a brand new semester. Which means that, while it’s time to go buy and sell your classes and wait in long mail room package lines to get boxes of books you know you probably won’t end up actually reading, you actually have plenty of time. Which means you and all those friends you need to catch up with can come out to cheer on your fellow Bears in various sporting events.Here are all the home games this weekend:

Friday, Jan. 27

Women’s ice hockey takes on the Big Green at 7 pm. The team is currently .500 after going 3-2-2 over winter break. They are currently in eighth place, the last playoff spot. This is a team that only won three games all season last year.
Men’s basketball also battles the Big Green at 7 pm. Unlike the female icers, the break didn’t treat the b-ballers to kindly. They went 1-6. [Read more →]

Captain Jack McClellan ’12 and the rest of the men's hockey team will look to beat ECAC and Ivy rival Yale this weekend.

Did anybody else notice that it got pretty cold as soon as it became December? Well, if you didn’t notice, the men’s and women’s hockey teams are here to remind you that it’s winter. And these Bears don’t hibernate just because it got a little chilly — they skate on one-centimeter-wide blades on a solid sheet of ice whacking at a black rubber disc and colliding with other people, intentionally or unintentionally. How does that not sound like a blast to watch?

Come cheer on your fellow classmates at these home games this weekend:

Friday, December 2
Women’s ice hockey returns to its ECAC schedule to take on Quinnipiac at 7 pm. The squad already has a better record than last season.  [Read more →]

Men's soccer has won its last two Ivy matchups 1-0. Forward Austin Mandel '12 has scored the lone goal in each game.

In case you haven’t seen the big “Ever True” banner in the Ratty, or the life-size pictures of the soccer players posted on the door’s of that same dining hall, or you haven’t been following the Herald’s coverage, or you just generally live under a rock, we’d like you to know that the men’s soccer team is battling Dartmouth for the Ivy League title this weekend in its final home game of the season. It’s pretty rare that such a straightforward clash for the title takes place, so you should come out and cheer for your fellow classmates. If soccer just isn’t your sport, here are the other matches taking place on Brown soil this weekend:

Friday, Nov. 11

The men’s basketball season starts at 5pm against Johnson and Wales. We hope the Wildcats enjoy the wild five minute drive up the massive hill.

Women’s ice hockey faces off against RPI at 7pm. With a 1-2-2 record, the squad seems to have already improved over last season. We’re not going to say that’s not sad.  [Read more →]

Captain Jack Maclellan '12 and the rest of the men's ice hockey team have two home games this weekend.

The men’s ice hockey team faces off against two ECAC opponents this weekend at Meehan Auditorium. Unlike the men’s and women’s soccer teams and the football team that had to play in the snow last weekend, the ice hockey teams actually enjoy winter’s return. Whether you like winter or not, you should come cheer on your fellow classmates in these home matchups:

Friday, November 4

Volleyball will take on the snobby Princeton Tigers at 7pm.

In an adjacent building, the men’s ice hockey team will be facing off against Colgate at 7pm.

Saturday, November 5

Volleyball is back in action, this time hoping to beat those pacifist Penn Quakers at 5pm.

Men’s ice hockey will battle Ivy-foe Cornell (who also has a bear as a mascot, those posers!) at 7pm.

All your other fuzzy-wuzzy Bears will be roaming around (and, you know… competing) in athletic arenas in other far away lands. Think of them while you’re cheering for the hockey team.

Co-captain quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero '11.5 and the rest of the football squad will look to end Penn's 18-game Ivy win streak Saturday.

Some of you may have noticed there was no cheering going on last week on this blog. Some of you may even have missed this informative post. We’re sorry. We sincerely hope it won’t happen again.

Saturday is officially Take On Penn Day at Brown. For those of you who think sports are violent and send the wrong message, please tell this to Penn. They’re Quakers. Isn’t it a bit hypocritical of them to be undefeated so long in a sport where the objective is for hulky men to tackle each other repeatedly? Why don’t they just forfeit? Oh, yeah — because that wouldn’t be any fun! Here’s what you have to cheer for tomorrow:  [Read more →]
