Question for posters who have been on here a while

[BCMike22]

So is this place kind of like the refugee camp for posters who have left Eagle Insider, the scout board?

I don't recognize the grand majority of posters or here or get the myriad of inside jokes/names that are prevalent...just curious.

[twballgame9]

It is certainly that, but all are welcome. You will get the inside jokes after a while.

This is a good write up of the events that took us from EI to Mantown. (ladies welcome).

[NJBC96]

I was a long-time viewer, no-time poster on EI.... Never felt like my contributions would matter for the greater good. But taking part of a start-up just seems right.

[EOVolumePolice]

One difference between EO and EI now is that EI is a lot more quiet now.

Though its cheaper over here. I mean, c'mon. $9?

[b0mberMan]

NINE DOLLARS FOR ALL THE EXCLUSIVE CONTENT I GET FROM RECRUITS AND THEIR FAMILIES BEFORE THEY CHANGE THEIR PHONE NUMBERS OR SERVE ME WITH A RESTRAINING ORDER!

NINE DOLLARS!!!

I miss the days from EI where we all used to have logos of minor league sports teams in our signatures.

What do you mean "used to"?

BCMike22 - SERIOUS QUESTION... do you still think Tuggle is a bad leader because he had $0 next to his name on the Lift4Life list?

Just know that if anyone mentions anything about BC's Engineering Department, RVs, Magic Cards, D'Angelos in Randolph, or other schools in the ACC wanting BC OUT of the ACC, these are inside jokes that refer to me. But at least no one tells me to eat a dick full of AIDS the way they do OJ.

Don't forget about drinking an entire six pack of beer over a period of three days.

[innocentbystander]

Yup, that was me.

[Logitano]

Is there anyway it would be possible for me to go back in time so I could trademark/copyright king of the dicks and innocentretardo? It literally causes me pain to see those terms tossed out so liberally and I have nothing to show for it.
Yes, "innocentretardo" was the result of the legendary discussion concerning BC is it a university or not?!

Are there any guys from the EI schism that werent also part of the EA schism? (wow, maybe we are the problem)

[shockdoct]

No, definitely everyone else.

I was not part of the EA schism. I signed up for EI the day after TOB's departure

I guess I might have listened to the wrong people.

I had an boss at a job that I worked for about 4 years who was a BC graduate (the job I worked 3rd shift, warehouseman, full time, while in school.) This boss and I would chat from time to time about BC and he kept harping on the fact (over and over) that Boston College was not a University. He said he was so very proud to be a BC graduate, that he got the best liberal arts education that money could buy from the best Roman Catholic college in Boston. What he was not interested in was some technical/engineering degree that they grant at "Universities" (his words.) Now, in my family (salt of the Earth, blue collar family), I was the first person to actually graduate from University (Northeastern.) So I didn't have a whole lot of "wisdom" when it came to terms regarding Boston's schools of higher learning. I just took what my ex-boss said at face value and figured he knew what he was saying. What I am gathering from you all is that he did not know what he was saying.

Okay fine. I got it then. I get it now. My boss was a BC graduate but he was also a fool.

I find it kind of sad that he wasn't able to send his two children to BC. He said he couldn't afford it. Bridgewater State was all he could afford for his two kids. (So he got to go to BC, but his kids didn't.)

Anyway, I graduate Northeastern. First boss I ever had for the first temp job I had out of Northeastern was also a BC grad (and a BC season's ticket holder.) He would tease me at lunch the way bosses tend to needle and tease their subordinates. Little did I know what that this teasing was a one-way-street. One day, he started in on me as a "rich kid" because I was able to work "temp" jobs. Apparently, this BC grad was too stupid to know that doing help-desk temping was all I could do without any real technical experience. And with the 1990 recession still lingering, it was temping or nothing. BUt I decided to tease him back, bad move. I said to my boss "...no I wish I was a rich kid. If I was rich I would have gone with you to BC instead of Northeastern." He stopped laughing and he glared at me. 2 hours later I get a call from the temp agency telling me that my contract had been terminated effective that day. No, it wasn't worth it.

[twballgame9]

I was a latecomer to the EA schism - long time reader of EA, but didn't jump on the posting bandwagon until after the Syracuse debacle. The UNC game was the straw that broke the back - I flipped out on TOB and was banned shortly thereafter. Followed HJS over here. I only had vague knowledge of the Meeryman/Super secret Zander board at the time.

[mezmrin]

i still don't even know what EA stands for (in my head it goes like this 'E...A....its in the game), and I have no clue when i stumbled upon EI. i was late arriving to the party here b/c some people's IMs were too coded for me to know what the hell they meant and the authorization code took about a day to receive... only by the time you received it you had already requested a new one so the one you had didn't work anymore.

Notice the trend of BC grads being the bosses of Northeastern grads.

I have had a lot of jobs. I have had many bosses.

Whammy!

Are there any guys from the EI schism that werent also part of the EA schism? (wow, maybe we are the problem)

I was not really part of either. I just keep rolling with this crowd because it is more lively!

I joined right around the departure of

[BCEagle74]

Schizophrenia is no joking matter guys..shut the fuck up 74...I mean multiple personalities...you fucking asshole....and dealing with metal illness...like who isn't fucked up here....its like Tipper Gore said...fuck that crazy white bitch....that 40% of us have some type of mental illness...that fucking bitch should know she married that pussie Al...so lets try and be kind to the schizoid sufferers.....i say fuck the freaks and let them roam the streets and kill people...

I don't know how I was not evicted from EA back in the TOB days. I was at least as critical as many of the schismed. Followed to EI to keep up with the good friends and commentators who left EA.

I am officially done with EI - don't see the point - who is left and why? As for EA, I get it that there are some old fuddy duddy's over there. There are also some good guys too. In the end, I crave the company of BC fans and BC discussion and both boards give different versions of the warm and tinglies.

[innocentbystander]

For those of us who have not paid for subscriptions, there really is no point going back to EI.

[Cadillac90]

I was not part of the EA schism. I have hated TOB since 1999 after that classic loss to Miami and being up 28-0 late in the third quarter. The Ginger gave up as soon as the U tied it up at 28. I hate that motherlover

[dixieagle]

I'm just a longtime BC Fan (female, class of '74) who enjoys keeping up with all BC sports from afar (deep in SEC country.) I rarely, if ever, post, as most of you scare the hell out of me. I have posted one or two clean game-related limericks on the other board, putting the BC English degree to use, but I mostly lurk. As this is where the action has moved to, I'm here. Saves $$$.
