I assume the governor will be there and there will be some kind of ceremonial moment before the game is played. 20 years since the WTC towers collapsed. Don't those years go by in an instant?

Do you guys know if BC is offering shuttle buses for the students?

Heh, good point.

I was hopeful that the administration would be willing to part with just a teeny amount of money to rent 50 shuttle busses or whatever it is for an event that is likely to be very special and ceremonial. But I guess that is unlikely.

If I could trust you guys to show and not just catfish me for your own amusement I could:

  • Fly into Hartford/Springfield airport for free with my flight benefits
  • rent a Turo car
  • book a luxury box on my dime
  • Name the box Eagleoutsider for the game
  • and host whoever wants to come

I don't even think it would cost me that much. And if there are no boxes at McGurk or whatever its called, I'd chip in $100, $200, or whatever for a major tailgate. Hopefully the UMyAss golf cart nazis are not as gestapo as the BC golf cart campus nazis. But the only people who (if they said they were coming) that I trust to actually show would be Duchie, 81, and MattTheEagle. A few of you are not trustworthy. I have been fooled before and I wont be fooled again.

I think you are full of shit and won't do this once you realize how much a luxury box actually costs.

If Duchie, Murt, teddy, foot, and/or angrydick (as long he promises not to pull any boogaloo shit there... I dont want to get on any gov't watchlists) goes, then I'll go.

p.s. if I forgot to mention your name, apologies it was a simple oversight (unless of course, it's wasn't... you know who you are).

You just proved my point hansen.

The fact that you are willing to go IF AND ONLY IF everyone on a list that you made up goes (because you couldn't stand to go alone) is all the more reason why I am not going to do this. You are not accountable. Why should I spend my money on you for you to attend an EO nametag event to watch a game you want to watch, if you are only willing to do it if everyone else goes? What are you a 12 year old girl? Can't go unless the clique goes or else you'll be cast out?

Its not happening anyway it appears the boxes are not for rent at the moment. I just checked.

https://mysuitetickets.com/warren-mcguirk-alumni-stadium-luxury-suites

https://mysuitetickets.com/4600921-umass-minutemen-vs-boston-college-eagles-tickets

They are probably all rented out already (none available) OR MAYBE, they are not renting any of them AT ALL because of covid? I don't know. Don't care, its not happening. I am not going to do this.

That said, I was curious. I did check the price. Normally for events like this is about $2000-$3000 bucks for 10 seats (give or take) and I'm guessing this game will be the highest demand for luxury box seats for the entire season. So its like $200 to $300 a ticket for the box. That is actually pretty reasonable for luxury seating compared to some places. I have no idea how much you have to donate to the Flynn Fund to get luxury box seats at Alumni. I am not MADE of money, of that I can assure you.

I am a very generous person hansen and I like to do things for people (I took crowds of friends down to my Florida timeshare on my own dime for a decade) so I have done similar things. Its just not going to happen this year. Maybe another year when the epidemic is gone and we don't have the "well-I'm-only-going-to-go-if-everyone-else-goes" attitude. Remember hansen, I was man enough to drive from Scottsdale to Compton for a game against USC and drive home, alone, all in one day. And for that, I was cat-fished as a reward for my effort.

Is your family willing to attend the Temple game with you after you admittedly subjected them to a classic Spaz performance at West Point?

How do you still possibly have free flight benefits? You are not an America West retiree (and even those folk have been shit on by America's flight benefits).

You need to learn how to read. And/or means exactly that... all of those people or one of those people. Not a 12yo, I'm just not looking for a date with a man. just sayin'.

Because
  • I like Hafley and didn't like Daz or Spaz
  • I have a lot more money at age 50 that I did not have at age 40
  • UMass does have luxury boxes
  • the luxury boxes at such a shitball stadium are probably much cheaper than at a REAL stadium
  • its close enough so that all the EO members in the Boston area, NY area, and NJ area can drive there with no excuses, no "Mean Girls" bitching like hansen just did
  • and I am tired of sitting still in the time of covid

checks a lot of boxes, doesn't it?

Maybe another time. Won't be this time. It was just a pipe dream.

Duchie, I trust you. Let me check with my wife. If nothing else is happening that weekend, I will fly into Philly Friday night/Saturday morning and join you (and everyone else) for a kick-ass EO tailgate. I would be willing to chip in $150 for barbeque and alcohol in the parking lot. I want as many of us to go as possible, everyone.

tre can you make the trip to Philly? Do we even need to get tickets ahead of time? The game will not be a sellout, we could buy tickets at the gate right, save any transaction fees?

I'll bring my covid-19 vaccination passport.
