Now that practicalities are out of the way, let's have some fun. While the original Beanpot is of course the 59-year-old tournament of local men's hockey teams, there has been a surge in recent years of other Beanpot sanctioned tournaments. Women's hockey, baseball, women's rowing (which includes MIT), a club lacrosse one for men and apparently something from Qdoba called the Rice & Bean Pot that lasted about six years.
That said, here are other Beanpot competitions we'd watch:
- Football - BU would be offered the opportunity to send its intramural flag football champion; BC would have been the underdog to Harvard had this one happened last year and it would have sucked.
- Sixth Grade Style Field Day - I'm talking dunk tanks, potato sack races, tug o' war, the works. Events to be held on consecutive Mondays in April until a champion is crowned.
- Animal House Food Fight - Different school hosts in their cafeteria every year; after the first four, we start trashing other schools' dining halls. Those nerds at Tufts won't know what hit them.
- Jeopardy - We're sending this guy. I don't care if Harvard's involved, if we make a category about the melodic inspiration of ringtones, the rest of the schools don't stand a chance.
- Blogging - There are easily three dozen BC bloggers at this point, and if the contest was be the first to get your school to trend, we'd have an easy advantage.
- Battle of Fictional Athletes in a Charity Softball Game - BU has obviously a good leg-up thanks to the Miracle on Ice guys, but given that I can't think of a single Northeastern pop culture reference and Will Hunting only seemed to get in fights and bet on little league baseball, Freddie Prinze, Jr. from Summer Catch at least gives us a shot if he can pitch still.
What other ones should we try and get out there?
The headline is for pure SEO whoring a la this and to see if we can prove a point.
