Awesome atsmosphere and the stadium is packed at kickoff because the team is worth watching unlike BC. The tickets are expensive but the parking is cheap, another reason why people make kickoff. At BC the parking is expensive, but the tickets are cheap, maybe that's why people are still tailgating at kickoff (lol)!

Alumni with a first class renovation including new luxury boxes, club seats, larger video replay boards, beer sales, etc would attract a lot more fans. Bring a good portion of the tailgating inside (club seats) and the stadium will fill up, even at kickoff. Basically, give fans a reason to enjoy the stadium 3 hours before kickoff.


This is all fantasy land shit. The only reason traffic wouldn't look like this for BC games is that no one would be there. Traffic wasn't good for the UMass game and it was empty. Traffic sucks ass when they close the upper bowl for soccer. It's a shitty place to drive to a game period.

The traffic is horrible getting to Gillette from anywhere.

except for those travelling from a gumdrop house on lollipop lane; where the corners are filled in, the stadium beer flows like wine and people show up to stuff without asking any questions just because there are shiny things there


I love the UMass game down there, but one is plenty.

I'd go to the game (again) if BC played @ Arizona, @ UCLA, @ USC, or @ ASU. I don't care about how bad the traffic, tailgating, or parking is.

I've been to one Pats game on MNF. They were destroying the Texans through Q3, as they are wont to do whenever they play a non-Tony Banks led Texans squad, which then requires OT, so we left. With a little bit of traffic it took me about 1-1.5 hours to get back to my humble abode on the other side of the river. Given my girlfriend has family that lives in Walpole so I guess we could stay there, but I have minimal desire to head down to Gillette for pretty much anything, let alone several times a year in the fall.

Let's see this boards logic, the Pats sell out every game, they have cheap parking, plenty of tailgating and a great stadium. BC did not sell out a single game, has expensive parking and extremely expensive and difficult tailgating rules and a mediocre stadium , but BC is preferred destination over Gillette????

OMG ladies if you have to sit in traffic to get to a big football game! Ladies step up from your Ivy League safe zone and experience major college football. Do Real fans use traffic as an excuse not to go to a big game? Of course if you learn your way around Gillette you can avoid a lot of traffic.

Yes. Getting to BC is probably easier than getting to Gillette for anybody that doesn't live outside 95 and I value my time at a decent hourly rate, so I would argue BC still comes ahead.

Gillette is a bitch.
I went there for a USMNT soccer game that didn't even count for anything and it took forever to get the fuck out of there. And the stadium wasn't even full. I avoid that place like the plague.

Oregon fell asleep on those free throws. I'm rooting for Gonzaga against the cheaters. We have a small Jesuit school in the championship game and a big Jesuit school with 2 ACC wins in 2 years!

I agree pretty much across the board, the quality of the product at both levels is all time bad. The NBA has devolved into pick and roll isolation with the other three guys camped out on the 3-point line waiting to chuck.

Though the Celtics are playing fun basketball - defense, hustle, depth, team play, ball movement etc. But even they rely on pick and roll isolation when the game is on the line, and they shoot as many threes as most of the rest.

The easiest cure at this point is to get rid of the 3-pointer. Or... make shots from the paint worth 3. When I watch the NBA, they play with the same speed (and with less passion) as an over-40 rec league. They walk up the court... spin around the perimeter until some jacks-up a shot. The defense lags back and waits for an uncontested rebound. Occasionally, someone basket-hangs and you get to see a layup. NBA has slowly been killing basketball since they effed with the rules to maximize Jordan. Now... it's completely killed off. While he seems like a good guy and is marvel to watch in pregame warm-ups... the fact that Stephen Curry is a superstar is evidence of the NBA's rotting corpse.

You should watch Isaiah Thomas. The kid can penetrate like no one since Tiny Archibald. He makes some incredible shots going to the basket.

In case anyone still has interest in this topic, I hear that they expect to have someone hired in the next two weeks. Apparently Leahy set a deadline of April 30th so that means the committee doing the first round of vetting has a deadline of Easter to come up with the finalists. The guy who told me this says he has not heard any names that he recognizes, so I took that to mean none of the people mentioned in the press are options.

He said the names will probably leak out after Easter.

April announcement is consistent with what I heard (and posted). However, again, there is no effing committee. This is a Leahy and two others with whom he consults. That's it. The only deadlines are those Bill is giving himself. Similarly, the only recommendation he is receiving is his own. I don't expect leaks because Bill ain't talking to the press. The only time we will get an accurate leak is when the BOT is informed of the choice (less than 24-hours from the time she is hired).

One caveat... if the choice is employed in a prominent position elsewhere, it is possible that the name could reach the media from that side. However, (a) that is nothing BC can control and (b) I don't think the hire will be significantly prominent such that their potential leaving would be newsworthy.

What are you going to do if they don't own up to it outside of express scorn?

Apparently Leahy set a deadline of April 30th so that means the committee doing the first round of vetting has a deadline of Easter to come up with the finalists. The guy who told me this says he has not heard any names that he recognizes, so I took that to mean none of the people mentioned in the press are options.

He said the names will probably leak out after Easter.

April announcement is consistent with what I heard (and posted). However, again, there is no effing committee. This is a Leahy and two others with whom he consults. That's it. The only deadlines are those Bill is giving himself. Similarly, the only recommendation he is receiving is his own. I don't expect leaks because Bill ain't talking to the press. The only time we will get an accurate leak is when the BOT is informed of the choice (less than 24-hours from the time she is hired).

One caveat... if the choice is employed in a prominent position elsewhere, it is possible that the name could reach the media from that side. However, (a) that is nothing BC can control and (b) I don't think the hire will be significantly prominent such that their potential leaving would be newsworthy.


Noted you said "she".

I have referenced that as often as I have the good father's penchant for buggery. I was told of 3 candidates (none who have been mentioned here or in the press). They all are massively underwhelming. The favorite seemed to be a female Compliance Officer. The chick part didn't bother me nearly as much as the lack of any meaningful hiring or fundraising experience. Essentially... Bill somehow found a candidate less qualified than buttcut. Accordingly (given Leahy's desire to permanently Geoghan BC athletics (and the BOT's tacit approval of the same), I am giving the rumored name more credencence than I otherwise would.

One of the best parts of this site is how people argue when their fantasy of what Leahy is "really" like disagrees slightly with other peoples' fantasy of what Leahy is "really" like.

I have heard it is essentially down to two. One has been mentioned here, one has not. The woman that was/is being considered has fallen behind due to lack of real fundraising experience.
