I will add that the Sports Marketing department has improved under Bates. Under Gene their attitude towards fans was basically "Fuck you, we don't care what you think" which is always a great attitude when you're selling a mediocre product in the first place. At least under Bates I got calls from BCSM asking me about my gameday experience, and I got a dedicated contact person in the office. Those are little things that can go a long way.

Is this about the time he suspended the woman's soccer player for tweeting jokes about the Ped State locker room?

i used to be happy about that...till i realized its 100% fake and any legitimate gripes are not being addressed. very little has come out of any "town halls", phone calls etc

meaning it's nice when you act like you care about how i feel about these things...till it becomes very clear that youre just calling for the sake of calling and not taking any of my suggestions and implementing them

Fake might be the wrong word. Futile might be more accurate. I almost can picture Brad Bates enthusiastically showing up with with a nice PowerPoint presentation for Fr. Leahy outlining all the improvements he would like to make based on all the town halls...and Leahy just smiling, nodding, and then politely escorting him out of the room with a condescending "This is real good work, Brad. Real good. I'll have my people look into it..."

i think thats giving him far too much credit and making huge leaps of faith in terms of how much leahyhoo actually monitors the sports program

Firing Spaz was neat.

Leaving the hockey program alone, check.

Where is the new god damn baseball stadium?

Adazzio was a solid B hire. The "national search" was a sham though.


I played golf with someone who would know on Monday and he said the exact opposite. BC reached out to a lot of high profile guys but it didn't work for one reason or another

Wow, I did not realize that Yukon plucked two kids from the ISL last year. Is our wall crumbling without Spaz? This is troubling.

Well, at least they're no longer openly contemptuous of fans like they were under Gene. So, it's progress.

Sort of. It was so bad before saying it's better doesn't prove much. A carrot would be an improvement over Obama, but that doesn't mean it's ok for us to elect a vegetable as President in 2016.

Just more of Bates/Leahy etc. telling you what you wanted to hear in public before ignoring it completely.

Give Greasy Gene credit for this: at least he never pretended to give a fuck about what the fans/non-whalepants alumni wanted.
Is this the 5 o'clock free crack giveaway?

This isn't so much a new policy as it is the beginning of the Shea Field phase-out.

Shea Field will be usec for indoor practice field, two outdoor fields, dorms and expanded Beacon St garage. There will be very limited outdoor tailgating space. This plan only works if they bring the tailgating inside the stadium by making every seat in the upper deck a club seat like the Putnam Club.

The other far off option is to get olympic stadium and the proposed land next to it sold to BC and the Revolution. I'm not sure why they would build Olympic Stadium only to tear it down after 3 weeks of use.

so now you are filling in the corners and pouring booze into them?

maybe we better get to work on the stadium-hovering-over-the-resevoir blueprints. that has a more likely chance
now in the street there is violence
and, and a lots of work to be done
no place to hang out our washing
and, and i can't blame all on the sun
good god we gonna rock down to electric avenue
and then we'll take it higher

With Shea field sucking dick with all these new rules, I would think robsham is a better deal at 5K.
correct me if i'm wrong, but back in the day shea field was all about alumni getting drunk with freshman :skanks. with this new pass system, what's the advantage to parking there? i don't see any.
