Road Trippin' to Nashville

Senior Captain, Maura Mahoney, gives us a detailed account of her trip down to Nashville to watch the Eagles take on Vanderbilt in the Music City Bowl. Unfortunatly, BC fell to the Commodors, but Maura and fellow classmates Katie Deblois, Lauren Fitzpatrick, Emily Hannigan, Margot Spatola and Rachel Tinquist still managed to have a very memorable trip!
"Sooo Nashville was amazing we all had legitimately the best time. I'm not sure what to write for the blog but i'll just give you the rundown/highlights of what we did and hopefully that will be good enough.

Upon arriving in Nashville, we all piled into a cab and made our way to the hotel. When we got there, we checked into our 1 star hotel and got ready to check out downtown Nashville. We ate dinner and then walked up and down 2nd Ave. aka the best street in America. There was a "Battle of the Bands" going on where they had the Vandy marching band and the Screaming Eagles marching band playing their fight songs while marching towards each other down 2nd ave. It was fun being the minority and hearing the Vandy fans telling you how awful BC was. After the battle of the bands we went to do karokee where Emily and I did our best rendition of 'Heartbreaker' by Mariah Carey and Jay-Z... our mic's were shut off.

The next morning we decided to try out the local cuisine and headed to a local diner. Not only did they use half a stick of butter per breakfast but the wait staff greated us saying "Hey babies, what can I get y'all?" It was awesome. After our breakfast we went back to the hotel and got dressed in our BC attire. We walked to the stadium (it was half mile away) and tailgated with some other BC fans. Though we sat front row, it was absolutely freezing at the game. BC lost but we were still excited for new years so we didn't let the loss or the temperature ruin our new years eve. After self-proclaiming ourselves the IT girls of Nashville, we rang in the New Year on 2nd Ave. It was so fun. Overall, the Nashville trip was a major success, and we can not stop talking about it. It was a perfect way to get together before heading back to school and starting our final season together as seniors -minus Monaghan and Jenna :(...

And that's the trip."
