Second to that, could we use the AD paycheck to make sure the clock works and fix the search function?

The funny part about this is any of us are probably more qualified and would do a better job than the current crew in there

HJS {l Wrote}:I relay shit I hear (someone mentioned to me last night that Mike Dee (who I don't know anything about) was the fave).

He was CEO of the Red Sox, President of Fenway Sports Group, and ran the Dolphins and the Padres. He's a to Lucchino on the business side what Epstein was on the baseball side.

That would seem a great hire (but the person who told me the name said it would be a disaster).

He seemed good with the Sox - was there for like 2003 to 2009, so good years - but Lucchino was running that whole show, and to some extent, even the baseball side when Theo got weird about Pearl Jam, gorilla maskes and Hanley Ramirez in 2006-7. He hasn't been a roaring success with the Fins and there was something off about his departure from the Padres after last season, especially since like Theo, he cut his teeth in that organization.

A cursory search about his Padres departure yields a lot of local San Diego talking heads saying things like "Oh boy when it gets out why he was canned...!" and "The rumors about Mike Dee would embarrass everyone but they are preparing for litigation"...and then nothing. That was October.

The problem with DBS is the price points. It emptied out Conte Forum and fixed many long time season ticket holders to give up if not all of their seats at least half the number of seats they had for years. To make matters worse these seats have never been sold and yet no adjustments in pricing have been made. That is why I don't want Paquette.

Here is why you suck.

The first part of your post is a good observation that rightfully points to a significant problem (i.e. Leahy's reluctance to provide institutional support for athletics). Then, you go all fucktarded with nonsense about DBS, filling the corners and putting a dome on the reservoir.

It would be a bunch of lawyers. I thought we didnt want a compliance centered AD.

I nominate Big Pete. He'll get things straightened out. Plus, he knows Corky.

Corky is in charge of the softball team. There will be rampant cheating. One of my favorite stories.

I love how I say a guy was a puppet, not a roaring success, and then there was something "off" about his departure, but I'm his agent. Dee could raise cash, but he's not high on my list. Better names have been floated here by far.

I regularly talk to holders of those seats. The sale of donor seats is not the issue. The issue is they go unused. Whenever I'm in town, I get offered tickets to a hoops game. I went once last year and I left at the half. The DBS system may have its flaws, but it is not why Conte is empty. You can't give tickets away to that joke they are calling an ACC basketball program. Most donors are worried someone they know might see them on TV at the game and give them the business about the state of BC sports.

You should delete you account.

Eaglekeeper {l Wrote}:I have had season tickets since Roberts Center. When DBS arrived I gave up 2 of my 4 seats. Those 2 seats have never been sold. That is a very common occurrence with every long time season ticket holder. Seats one section over that are in DBS now go to visiting fans.DBS really crushed hoops.

We don't give red seats to visiting fans there chief. It's those folding chairs right behind the bench

Ok... so... Blauds is claiming that 2 of the 3 finalists are Associate ADs. I will say that Mike Dee's name still gets brought up when I've asked around. Let me tell you straight out that... while I have heard many times that Mike Dee would be an "unmitigated disaster" from the folks who have said he is still a candidate... I would much prefer him over the Associate ADs. Mainly, because I fear the names that I had been given super-early in the process (including the chick Compliance Officer)... are still in play.
