The following blog, written by former Harvard standout Alex Biega, appeared December 10 on the Portland Press Herald Web site.

To be completely honest, I do not know a lot about blogging. When I was first asked to do a blog this year, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was getting myself into but here I am so we’ll see how it goes.

As a rookie on the Pirates, and a rookie to blogging,- there is a lot that I don’t know, but I am learning as I go. We are about a quarter through our season so far which already almost totals the number of games I played in college last year. With that said, the season is kind of a grind at times and makes breaks, like the one we have during Christmas, that more exciting.

A lot of people ask me what the standard routine is on a game day -  like what the players do before games or between periods. So I thought I would use my first blog to give you a run down on what a typical game day entails (which keep in mind will happen 80 times this season.)
