I see I have been welcomed. Now that things have moved forward, I figure I should let you know what happened in a "know your place" type of thought. Obviously I hate Boston College, but my good friend "Z" asked me to help him with a special project that involved you people. You clearly hold no respect for all that is good and just in college football:
* holding hostage the #2 place in the rankings;
* hyping 3-star recruits into Top-3 draft picks (e.g. "Ryan for Heisman"--egads!;
* using the Internets to "disprove" Justin Tuck's testimony that your people threw snowballs at him; and
* crowing as if you "beat" Notre Dame last year when you know full well we lost on purpose so we could get to the Hawaii Bowl and reel in one Mr. Manti Te'o.
So, you can imagine when Z asked me to meet him at the Chuck E. Cheese in Richmond as he drove up from the Eastern Seaboard from Charlottesville, I was more than happy to oblige. There was a high school combine going on there that weekend,including the best 8th grade prospects in the Mid-Atlantic(!!!), so the timing worked out well. Due to Internets issues, this needed to stay on the "Down Low", so to speak--thus the in-person meeting. So we met for pizza and TecmoBowl at Chuck E. Cheese and plotted your downfall.
"Z" and I agreed that TOB's treatment at Fredo was reprehensible. To imagine that he recovered from a GAMBLING scandal and installed a reasonable ceiling on BC where you knew your place, and
this is how he gets treated!? By being hassled about 2004, when we all know (including the authorities in Bristol FWIW) that schools like Boston College do not belong in the BCS? Reprehensible.
So I advised him to go after the Fifth Column, those people who make BC feel all uppity. Work your way into their forum. Install a "bad guy" as moderator, and get them riled up. Then install a "good guy" to reverse some of the changes, but like the "Visitors", slowly permeate their body by shutting down people from being able to respond to your moves (the "read-only" action). You people get frustrated, and run off.
Thus, we both win. Z adds another component to his Internets pseudo-media empire, and I get to see the Voice of Boston College destroyed.
It doesn't make up for the disappointment of Ron not (officially) winning the two Heismans, but you have to find joy however it may come.
