Is Dawson's Creek the Brook that Bounds?

From Facebook (courtesy of @jonathanrnash):

"Facebook report from a friend in Philly: Today as he was riding his bike along the Schuylkill, he stumbled upon the set of the movie "Backwards," starring James Van Der Beek. The scene was a rowing race. And the crowd chanted: "Union! Union! Union!""

From the IMDB entry for Backwards:

When a fiercely competitive thirty year old rower fails to make the Olympic boat for the second time, she takes a coaching job at a school where her boss is also her ex-boyfriend and struggles to adjust to life off the race course.


Please tell me that this is not going to be Union's introduction to the bulk of the country.

Union folks, any opinions?

  1. Well, as a former Union College rower I at least hope they make the team look good in the movie. If we're rowing on the Schuylkill perhaps we are winning the Dad Vails in the movie. That would be great.

  2. Really, HJ77? That's what you are worried about? Just the team? They could also make it look like it is full of drunken debauchery and meaningless hookups...oh...wait.

  4. Nevermind...your Union experience was apparently much different than what others experienced.

  5. My experience or lack there of, probably had something to do with the overalls you remember me wearing..?

  6. I was going to say more that Andean sweater...and the Birks...and the overalls in combination. You looked like an extra from a Spin Doctor's video.

    (Which was perfectly appropriate for the time, little miss can't be wrong.)
