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.
