Eh, I graduated in 2009, and my freshman year Duchesne East always looked like that every weekend morning, usually thanks to a certain rugby player who called himself "Boomer"


I still look like that every Saturday/Sunday morning, its usually worse when I drink whiskey. The vomit is easy to clean but the blood usually leaves stains.


Are you still ravaged every week by Boomer the rugby player? Does it hurt? Do you want to talk about it? Your real-life friend IB can counsel you, councilor.


After Boomer is done I look like Goatse.

Had a roommate pull all of the stop signs from around the dorm parking lot and put them in our room. That didn't work out so good for us in the end.

EO investigative journalism:

Drove to BC on Sunday - it was an orientation weekend - huge banner over Lower Live welcoming the class of 2016. :shock:

The fiancee warned me that most of the :skank were 'likely jailbait' so not to try and get numbers as I was walking around the bookstore.

Anyways, there flatbeds sitting by Beer Can Hill with half inch thick metal sheets with half-inch thick bricks glued to the metal. Apparently that's the 'new brick wall' being installed. Looks kinda pathetic, but I assume it'll look like a real brick wall once installed.

Also, the old Field Turf is torn up and rolled up in piles at the base of the fence to Beer Can Hill. Surprised they aren't trying to sell it to alums for $1 per square foot. "This is the turf Matt Ryan and many others played on - own your piece of BC history!"

Wish I had my camera on me.

That's not safe, one of your "dorms" could have kept rolling right into the Roady's drive through.

They can't put a real brick wall around the field for security reasons. You don't want players running full speed into solid brick.

We're still playing them next year. They put Big 12 stickers in the middle of the flags, durr.

Hadn't thought of that, still didn't realize that it was going to be a thin brick veneer based on the original post.

I'd consider buying one. Having convinced myself it would be cool to have, I staggered down to alumni after flutie's last home game with a large knife and tried to cut out a piece of turf. Scared the shit out of a couple making it on the 50. They must have called 5-0 as they were coming into the stadium as I lurched back over the fence. I managed to find my way into the back of a pickup parked on beacon and promptly passed out. I didn't get the turf.

Someone should inform schools like Michigan, Notre Dame, FSU, Virginia, etc.

One of the first things I learned in college, STOP signs are for safety not for wall decorations. Wish I would have learned that in high school, I could have got somebody killed.

I'm sure this part of your post set the Yawkey Center abuzz yesterday. The interns are out there now with box knives and ziploc bags.

For the record I'd buy it and frame it up. I have a piece of the Conte Forum floor signed by the entire 2002 basketball team.

Looks nice. They should cover up the maroon painted cinder block walls around the luxury boxes with the same fake brick to make it look complete.

Fake brick is a maintenance-free solution that costs the same as aluminum siding.
