What's On Tap at AExtra

2012 has been a pretty awesome year for the America East. From our schools making runs in the NCAA Tournament, to a brand new social media app and everything in between. To round out the new year, we're going to run back the top 12 moments of 2012 here on the blog. We'll take Monday and Tuesday off and start up with the countdown on the 26th. AExtra will help you relive the best of the best culminating with the conference's number one moment brought to you on New Year's Eve. Be sure to let us know what you think as that series comes your way!

Also on tap for the new year is a series of guest posts from America East student media. We've reached out to students from all nine member institutions and have received some excellent posts back that recap non-conference play and look ahead to the conference slate for men's and women's basketball. You can look for that starting on Jan. 2, right after the new year. Be sure to spread the word so our guest authors can get the exposure they deserve.

After that, things will get back to normal here on AExtra, but if there's something you want to see, let us know in the comments. We're always open to new ideas to help us engage our fans. Thanks for reading and from all of us here at the America East, we hope you and your loved ones have had and continue to have a very merry holiday season.
