We are getting many hits relating to some combination of “Erin Burnett” and “field hockey” and “Williams College”. Anyone know why? I am guessing that Burnett might have mentioned something on CNBC today, but the only relevant Google link that I see is from this old article.
Q: My favorite memory from Williams College:
Burnett: It is impossible to pick one! But many were sports-related, as one of the things I miss most is field hockey. I remember walking up to the field house from practice with two of my former teammates, roommates and still closest friends Sarah and Melissa. Those walks involved a lot of our best conversations about topics inappropriate for TVNewser.
And there was one game in particular against my hometown college where Sarah and I each scored a goal. We were the underdogs and won 2-1. It was a moment of great pride for me!
Good stuff. I have vague plans of doing some podcasting (contain your excitement) in conjunction with the class of 1988’s 20th reunion. Basic plan is to interview a classmate each week and ask similar questions, one of which was precisely this one: What is your fondest memory of Williams? Another: What was the biggest mistake you made at Williams? I would appreciate other suggestions.

CNBC just did a brief bit on the Williams-Amherst game. Later on in the segment, she was asked about her field hockey days and they showed a player photo of her. Ms. Burnett apparently has a bit of a following.

She has been talking about the game all day.

Nice pre-pre-game coverage of the game there.
