probably because the not particularly impressive faculty(anecdotal, I had many garbage profs, no numbers to back this up) has not nerded up along with the student body.

Exalt. I had some good ones but there are plenty of mediocre profs running around BC.

I'd go in at 1ish(p.m) on Friday and it would be about 6 MBTA employees and they'd the volume on the tv on, I always thought it a poor reflection on the student population that there was never anyone there before 2.
I spent many days in MA's drinking and watching Law and Order with Steve the manager who would laugh at the most inappropriate parts of the episodes, and I fall in post nerdification territory according to TRE (class of 04).
My senior year, Roggie's became the happy hour hotspot. We'd go there at noon sometimes or sometimes we would hole up in MA's and play cards if we were less concerned with seeing people and more about drinking in a windowless hole.
personally, i always liked drinking in a windowless hole, still do. but not MAs you can never go back.
I have on occassion (football game and stuff like that). They've raised prices and got a new jukebox (which happened my junior year but I'm STILL pissed about that)
hansen {l Wrote}:third, you tell me they've replaced the jukebox? that thing better be loaded with plenty of gun & roses, hair bands, and bon jovi or i am driving up to chestnut hill right now and knocking something of these nerdified students around to teach them a lesson.

It's one of those automated ones that you can use to download songs, but there's no guarantee. Monster Ballads and Appetite for Destruction, among other classic hair band albums on the old one, were a huuuuge loss in my opinion. And the always underrated "High Fidelity" soundtrack, featuring the Beta Band on track 1.

Back in the day many of the north east Catholic schools (Fordham, GTown, PC, BC, Fairfield, Nova) went to Bermuda for holy week/spring break. His first year going the BC guys we kicked off the island for their behavior (drunkenness, purposely riding scooters into the water, etc). The country even banned BC from returning the following year.

Thank God they still had Mr. Big's "To Be With You" so the bartenders could skip it within four seconds. Long live the old jukebox.

It's also always better before hordes of nerds descend on the campus and ruin a decent party school.

Sure, if your first priority is wings Fatty McNugget.
During my time, wings came in around 4th behind getting wasted, setting the table for the weekend's OTPHJ from a prissy popped-collar who had no idea what she was doing, and destroying people in the loudest pop-a-shot of all time. Only 1 of those 3 objectives can be attained sitting up front waiting for the wings. Choose your battles

Yeah, when did they serve wings??? Does that mean MA's had a kitchen?! Scary!!!
If I wanted a snack, I hit the vending machine, too....or we would get pizza from Pino's.
it sounds as if they ordered delivery from wing-it. i can assure you that mary ann's had no kitchen. the basement was full of kegs and homeless people (that earned their bar bill by mopping up after closing time).
dee - i think you told me this but i forgot... what year did you finish up at the heights?

JTree always has a line and is more expensive. And Wonder Bar is also teeming with coeds. Not ideal but if you're down there it certainly doesn't suck.

The only time I went to Wonder Bar was my first year out of college during a massive blizzard. It was the closest place to my buddy's place where we were snowed in, so we hiked over. There were about 25 people there and we had a blast and got shitfaced with the bartender and persuaded her back to party more with us. I will never go back for fear of ruining this memory.
JTree was Tonic when I was there. I've been to the Tree, but have always liked the one in Davis better for whatever reasons.

It had a lot less to do with the location and more to do with the extenuating circumstances. If you venture out to drink when it's snowing several inches an hour, you either have a massive problem or are determined to go have a good time.

I'll run you over with my silver Audi if you keep insulting me. You'll know it's me by the bad Eastern-European produced techno music blasting from the speakers.
